Movie #320 "Get Low" is a movie people will be talking about at Oscar time ---- Robert Duvall is able to get across a very interesting, quirky character without saying very much --- kind of a Boo Radley at an older age (ironically, he played Boo way back at the beginning of his career) so this seems a full circle thing for him, as an actor. It's hard to take your eyes off of him, and especially when he is in scenes with Bill Murray or Sissy Spacek, both more than capable supporting actors (oscar worthy, too). The story is about a man who is planning his death , and surprisingly, there are lots of funny moments in it! A very worthwhile 100 minutes at the cinema today, and I highly recommend it!

Get Low
(2009) PG-13
Oscar winners Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek team up to tell the true story of irascible Felix Bush, a backwoods Tennessee loner who planned his funeral in 1938 while he was still around to attend -- and enjoy -- the proceedings. Director Aaron Schneider's deft blend of dark humor and poignancy also stars Bill Murray as Frank Quinn, the huckster owner of a failing funeral home, and Lucas Black as his dubious assistant.
