I watched "Capote" over the weekend.
Wow. Much better than I expected. I thought it would be a full-blown biopic, but I liked how they focused solely on his writing and research of "In Cold Blood." Phillip Seymour Hoffman was dead-on as well. No wonder he won best actor.

1. wasn't that amazing?
he was great. He's good in everything I have seen, but stellar in that film. It was so creepy.

2. his performance was incredible!
it was like he was 'channeling' Capote; he had his voice and mannerisms DOWN! I thought the movie was really well done.

3. quite a leap from the weird guy in "Twister", no?
I loved him in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley", too.

4. Excellent acting all around.
I particularly thought the actor who played Perry Smith was superb.

I like the fact that the film did indeed focus solely on "In Cold Blood".

Terrific film.
