Niles Crane

Auto Focus
$9.99
5 stars for Greg Kinnear as Bob Crane. William Dafoe is super creepy as John Carpenter. Is he even acting? LOL

The rest of the cast is mostly a blur but this is a biopic after all.

I've wanted to watch Auto Focus for some time. It recently came up on On Demand so I got lucky. If I were to consider getting the DVD now, it wouldn't necessarily be to watch the film again, but rather for all the extras (commentaries & documentaries). It should come with a coupon good for a free shower!

Not sure if it will post, but a brilliant interview with Kinnear on the film is here:

If not, at least here's an insightful quote:

"I think if Bob Crane were selling insurance instead of acting, he would still have had the same problems. I don't think the temptation is exclusive to celebrity. I think everybody, in their own life, has them. Does celebrity grease the wheel? Absolutely. Are there enablers around? Certainly. The bigger issue of temptation, avoiding it and making conscious decisions to maybe not go down certain roads, that everybody has to deal with it. Whether Bob is choosing to go down certain roads, it's not only about sex. It's an addiction."

Cafe' Nervosa: The Connoisseur's Cookbook
$14.95
This is not only a wonderful cookbook, but it has hilarious narrative all the way through it. If you want to cook AND be entertained, this is the book for you! I especially like the white chocolate creme brulee!
