Colin McEnroe Show: Two Unlikely Movie Gurus Opine On Cinema

Bill Curry says there should be a National "Bring Your Whole Self to Politics" day in which political people reveal all the complicated sides they have that don't fit into the stark equations that make one a liberal or a conservative, a Republican or a Democrat.

Over the years I've gone to a fair number of movies with Curry and I've learned two things. He is incapable of sharing an armrest with anybody and he is amazingly gifted at framing eloquent insights about what he's just seen, speaking in paragraphs while I'm blinking in the lobby and wondering where the men's room is.

I've seen Currry, the consummate Democrat and Chris Healy, the red-meat Republican, darn near at each other's throats, but I've also been talking to Healy about movies ever since he evoked Gig Young in "They Shoot Horses" as we stood blearily at a midnight legislative session.

The two men bring their whole selves to movies on today's show.

Have your guests heard about Rebirth? Coming out this fall. Very powerful survey of the aftermath of 9/11 in several survivors’ lives…

Best articulation of the movie, I've read, is from the New York Review of Books, Geoffrey O'Brien. New Yorker also good. Nice discussion sorry I can't hear it live. I listen on the archive. Please don't say my name on air.

saw it with my husband: we argued about it for two days.
For me: tedious pretentious twaddle. I've low threshhold for heavenly choirs.
