Funny enough, Jenny and I watched Brosnan's Matador at the Angelika, I think back in January. If you like black comedy and/or movies about hitmen (which we both do) I think you'll enjoy it. Unfortunately, I think it will likely play better on a widescreen format, be it in the cinema or on a widescreen TV. The cinematography was rich. The soundtrack was fun too.

Granted, maybe I was a bit tough on Matador. I think my reaction was due in part to my expectations at the time — I was looking forward to a lighthearted comedy and ended up with <em>woman + circular saw</em>. In any case, if you run into future movie mix-ups (or almost-mix-ups), feel free to drop me a line :). Hello, Julie! Granted, maybe I was a bit tough on Matador.

You were not the only ones affected by the mixup, which we first heard about on Saturday morning. Matador is part of Viva Pedro, the Pedro Almodovar retrospective that's been running at the Angelika since last month. I take some umbrage at you dismissing it as schlock, though I fully recognize that Almodovar is not for everyone, and it cannot be denied the man has some schlocky tendencies,which are part of his greatness and appeal. You might have liked it if you'd stuck around. Matt and I could have warned you about that. You were not the only ones affected by the mixup, which we first heard about on Saturday morning.
