ok, so this is yet another movie entry. No, i'm not turning into Roger Ebert. It's just that I'm still enjoying the novelty of being able to find movie screenplays online. It's an interesting way to go about "seeing" movies. On the one hand, you basically have all the dialogue right there. If you've seen the movie before, you get to be reminded of all your favorite lines. On the other hand you are *reading* it so you still get to use your imagination/memory. I guess it raises the whole question of what is it that makes a movie good in the first place. Is it the lines, the acting, the special effects, the action sequences, cinematography, etc.?
...
So the film I wanted to point you to in this entry (last one for a while) is The Rapture. I once tried to sum it up as "Soft-core for Mormons" (It seems to have a religious moral lesson, but at the same time it also includes graphic portrayals of intimate behavior.) It is about a woman (played by Mimi Rogers) who after living an unfulfilling life goes through a surprising transformation while the apocalypse is happening in the background. David Duchovny (pre-X-Files) also stars. (But that doesn't matter if you are reading the screenplay...lol)
