Logging

Film:  Mulholland Falls

HBO on demand.  A totally by-the-numbers noir.  Nothing special to recommend it.  I'm a sucker for most things LA-noir, but this was a true disappointment.  Terrific cast, written by Pete Dexter, had all the elements to suggest something good.  Except that it wasn't.  I should caveat, it's better than the 10 minutes I saw of Gangster Squad, but that is saying nothing.  LA Confidential blows it out of the water and Chinatown...well...just fuggetaboutit.
