Chimes at Midnight

Sorry this post is so late, I'm so lazy on the weekend. I went out tonight to get some new fish for my tank - my lone angelfish Joel/Ethan (once there were two, but when one died I was never sure if Joel or Ethan was left) died of old age the other day, and I wanted to go get some new swimmy buddies. I got a really beautiful red crowntail betta, and some little schooling type fish like some dwarf rainbowfish and emerald eye rasboras. It's a fun tank, lots of neat colors and movement.

Anyway, enough about fishes. Today I watched Chimes at Midnight, directed by Orson Welles in 1965. This film is really hard to find - Ebert points to a version that is from Brazil but will play on US players. I ended up just buying something on Amazon's marketplace, which pretty much just seemed like it was homemade, but it played, and I saw my film, so all is well. I never heard anything about this film before, but it was actually really good. Welles was great - one of my favorite performances I've seen, really. His direction was awesome as well, and he showed how he was great at everything from indoor shots to creating epic battle scenes.
