Dog Day Afternoon

So sleepy today. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are night where I'm not home until after 9pm, and it's just such a long day. I'm so beat by the time I put my film on, you know? I know a lot of people have seen this movie already, so I'm not going to go too crazy with it. I watched Dog Day Afternoon tonight, directed by the awesome Sidney Lumet in 1975. I actually own this movie on Blu-ray, even though I never saw it until today. It was one of those things where I knew I was going to have to watch it for the project, and I knew that everyone else I knew loved it, so I figured it was probably worth picking up. I'm so glad that I did! It's a really great film.

I love movies like that, that are just full of the best, natural pacing and great acting. I just feel like Lumet knew how to bring out the best in his actors, and it's so cool to see more of his work.
