Agree with you completely on "Alfie" remake,
Joanne. They *did* try to inject some thought
*&* originality (updating it & setting it in
NYC as opposed to London, but still keeping the character as a cockney Brit...)to it & tweaking
the plot from the original.

Also agree with you about Law; BTW, I did see
"Road to Perdition" & loved it & his performance
(As well as everyone else's...). And what a
cinematic epitath for the late cinematographer
Conrad Hall! I esp. loved the 'silent' rainy
apocalypse near the end of the film; wonderfully
orchestrated...

Thank you so much for the offer to dupe "Without
My Children" & "The Tempest," Joanne! That would
be wonderful! I can return the favor with "City
Girl," I think. Have to check on to see if it's
'copyable'... If it is it would be on VHS; don't
have the equipment yet to burn DVDs,
unfortunately... :-( Don't have "Tabu," seen it
in Atlanta on the big screen about ten years ago,
but remember the cinematography was breathtaking...
