angel where art thou
On many a Saturday morning I like to lolligag until 8:00 and then catch TCM's Darkness After Dawn movie. Of late, however, they've been showing the same movies over and over again and much as I like most of them, very few can be rewatched within only a few weeks. Anyway, all that is in aid of saying that this morning I watched Angel Eyes, a 2001 film written by Luis Mandoki, a Mexican screenwriter with a few light movies to his credit (Gaby: A True Story, White Palace (Sarandon and Spader), Born Yesterday (the '93 remake)). Angel Eyes stars Jennifer Lopez and James Caviezel; since I've never watched either of them in an entire movie before that got my attention. The movie isn't great art but it's a mildly good story and the characters are fairly interesting. I kept thinking I recognized Caviezel's name but only when I looked him up did I realize he is the "it" man who played J.C. in The Passion of the Christ and was named People's sexiest man in the world later that year (quite the juxtaposition, come to think of it).
