Ummm, last night I finally got to watch "Mystic River". Very good film, a bit intriguing, with a rather unexpected ending. I wish I'd gone with somebody cause there were some details I didn't understand.

Why was it titled "Mystic River"? Perhaps that's the name of the river near the neighborhood?

And who's the woman who was calling Sean (Kevin Bacon's character)? Why was she usually mute on the phone?

Anyway, I'm rather happy as right now there're several movies I'm actually interested in watching. I still have "The Butterfly Effect", and "Zatoichi".

I'm just intrigued by Zatoichi. The advertisement shows a blind and, get this, blond Japanese samurai? First thing that comes to mind is that this must be cheesy, but the advertisement says that it has won several awards in movie festivals. I have to see it.
