I loved MAN ON THE TRAIN - probably my favorite movie of the year. It helped that I knew nothing going in, but I think I would have loved it anyway - it's quietly charming and sad and funny all at once.

I hated RESPIRO, but I appear to be in the minority on that one. (My hatred stems mostly from disliking all the main characters and

Spoiler:

)

MAN WITHOUT A PAST is good, droll fun.

JohnAP, MGM's putting out TOGETHER this fall (as well as another stellar IFC film, JUMP TOMORROW).
