The Silence of the Lambs

With the release of HANNIBAL RISING this weekend I thought a viewing of some classic Dr. Lecter action was in order. Not much I can add to what has been written over the years about this film except it still holds up remarkably well in the age of CSI obsessed viewerships. The performances of Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, who I think is the most beautiful woman in the world, are amongst the best of their respective careers and Ted Levine's portrayal of Buffalo Bill still remains a visualy disturbing treat. Country crooner Chris Isaak has a nice little cameo as a SWAT commander and look for legendary directors Roger Corman and George A. Romero as FBI agents. Don't forget your flava beans!
