James Bernardinelli has updated his Top 100 Films list and finally linked it on his website. I like most of his reviews, even if I don't agree with them, and I'm glad to finally have this readily available without having to google it.

He does have some unusual picks there--you don't typically see Branagh's Dead Again mentioned, but it really is the solid suspense drama/Hitchcock tribute film that the critic says it is. I remember seeing it in the theater with my dad and both of us just eating it up.

Loved Dead Again.

I had the theater-size poster at one point. Can't think when I finally let that go.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm another fan of Dead Again. Such a stylish noir suspense with a really beautiful love story in there as well.

And one of the best cameos in Robin Williams.

There's a line that Robin Williams had in Dead Again that has always stuck with me. When he notices Branaugh chewing on his pen, he grills him about being a smoker. When Branaugh says he's quit, Williams responds to the effect of "No you haven't. Look, you're either a smoker or you're not. Pick one and be that."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I loved Dead Again when I saw it many years ago. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, though.

The kiss after Branaugh puts the ankle braclet on Thompson was a thing of beauty.

And so was Andy Garcia (the young version).

I recently rewatched the awful Jennifer 8 for the pretty.

Charlie Jane Anders

My first time seeing her was at a Writers with Drinks thing at the Make-Out room. P-C, were you by chance there? It was to see Stephanie (Keckler) read from a recap. We had dinner first across the street...

I wasn't there, but I met Keckler for lunch at the Ferry Building a year or two ago. I met Charlie Jane at WonderCon (and I also ran into her after the Terminator Salvation screening).

Oh, the young Andy Garcia was, indeed, quite beautiful. I will watch The Untouchables every single time it's on, for that reason alone.

Gotcha. It was in 2003, I think. Quite a while ago! When she and Mark first moved out from Massachusetts.
