I was fuming at the idea of the upcoming Brighton Rock remake, then consoled myself at the thought of the costumes...then discovered it has been relocated to the 60s. Intrigued, nonetheless, as the reviews have been excellent.Reddest Roarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888389614407515461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-30846201565944384812011-01-25T00:37:54.590+00:002011-01-25T00:37:54.590+00:00I love the 20s and 30s-- my two favorite periods. ...I love the 20s and 30s-- my two favorite periods. have been collecting vintage from that era for years and tears.

I don't think I've every seen a movie where the audience has clapped at the end. Except for a couple of films screened in my city at the Toronto Film Festival, though they were probably already won-over fans of the director.—HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4185133934790891461.post-27380319041326647442011-01-24T18:03:52.335+00:002011-01-24T18:03:52.335+00:00I am amazed by the clapping, can't wait to see...I am amazed by the clapping, can't wait to see it!
