Oh, and I saw Phone Booth on Friday. Highly recommended, not because it's necessarily a great picture, but because it's just the sort of ingenious, overwrought, high-concept B-movie that I keep saying I'm going to write and film someday, but haven't yet. It's clever and nerve-wracking, and despite its surface gloss, it's got a shrewd, nuts-and-bolts, exploitation feel that only a screenwriter used to working on a shoestring (the legendary Larry Cohen) could have managed.
