Movies on TV

Watching Donnie Brasco on TV - not a great film, but a damn fine performance by Al Pacino, if you ask me. Man, he's really doing something different from his usual post-Oscar ranting. And Johnnie Depp is so subtle and young. How old is he when this movie is made? (I checked - 37) He'd made tons of films by this point...but I guess this was sort of the start of him getting huge.

And Mo' Betta Blues - my favorite sequence from this movie is when Bleak (Denzel) returns from his injury and his old girlfriend and band underling are together and making amazing music. Her singing career has taken off and she sings Harlem Blues, one of my favorite made for movie tunes....
