(I'M WRITING THIS IN CAPS BECAUSE THE SMALL PRINT
IS SMALL AND GRAY AND HARD TO READ.)
LATELY HBO/MAX HAS BEEN SHOWING "TO DIE FOR" A
MOVIE MADE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, STARRING NICOLE
KIDMAN, MATT DILLON, ILEANA DOUGLAS, CASEY AFFLECK
AND JOAQUIN PHOENIX. IT'S THE BEST THING KIDMAN
HAS EVER DONE AND DID NOT RECEIVE THE KUDOS IT
SHOULD HAVE. THE ROLES IN THIS MOVIE WERE PERFECTLY
CAST; SUPERB ACTING BY ONE AND ALL.
EVEN WAYNE KNIGHT (NEWMAN FROM SEINFELD)DOES A
FINE JOB AS KIDMAN'S BOSS.
KIDMAN GETS INVOLVED WITH THREE IMPOVERISHED TEENS
AND CALLOUSLY STARTS A SEXUAL AFFAIR WITH THE DIM
WITTED PHOENIX, WHO SUCKS IN TWO FRIENDS TO HELP
MURDER HER HUBBY (DILLON.)
THE EGOCENTRIC DEVIOUS KIDMAN GETS WHAT'S COMING
TO HER IN AN UNEXPECTED WAY--THE DENOUEMENT OF THE
ENDING IS PERFECT.
THE MOVIE TITLE HAS COMEDY WRITTEN BY IT, BUT IT IS
ANYTHING BUT.IT IS A PERFECTLY WRITTEN AND ACTED
MASTERPIECE AND I WATCH IT EVERY TIME IT COMES ON.
BYE FOR NOW, SUSIL
