Angkor Wat

One of my favorite films is Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love.  This final scene was inspired by the ending to William Wyler's Roman Holiday.



I'll be visiting Angkor Wat later this year if everything comes together.

The Wild Geese

This DVD just arrived from Amazon. The Wild Geese starring Roger Moore and Richard Burton. It's about a team of aging British mercenaries hired to complete one more mission: Rescue a political prisoner who's being held by a corrupt African dictator. But what happens when their employer suddenly sides with the dictator once they bust the prisoner out of jail and before they're out of the country? Yes, it's the classic double-cross. Note the cover says it's the "30th Anniversary Edition," but the film came out in 1978. I guess they couldn't wait 2 more years for the DVD release.
