Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Infamous (2006)

Covers the same ground Capote did a year back, but manages to add in enough new anecdotes to make this more than a reprise.

Toby Jones as Truman Capote looks good and sounds good, Sandra Bullock is surprisingly well-cast as the understated Harper Lee, and there's a lot of fun in the gossipy cameo-laden New York segments (as well as in the more conservative, but still gossipy, Kansas-set dinner parties).

Still. Capote's better. Way better.
