While You Were Sleeping (1995 John Turtletaub)

We just saw 'Bullock' on the Hugh Grant doc in which they seemed to have a great time (on Two Weeks Notice). She and Bill Pullman have some chemistry, though film is nothing to write home about - it's actually quite funny to see how clumsily bits of plot are introduced. Randy Edelman's music doesn't help.

It's quite fun though. With Jack Warden as the neighbour who manages not to help at all, Peter Gallagher, Peter Boyle, Glynis Johns (yes, that one).

Written by Dan Sullivan and Fred Lebow. The funniest moment is the kid delivering papers from his bike who throws and falls off it. Chicago photographed by Phedon Papamichael.

I pointed out Wally Pfister as the camera operator 'mainly known for Batman type things' and received the rather Two For the Road reply 'Oh well I don't like Batman type things, so that's all right'.



(Wally Pfister has worked closely with Chris Nolan, won Oscar for Inception, also shot The Prestige and Memento. Jack Warden is well known for 12 Angry Men, Heaven Can Wait, Bullets Over Broadway, Mighty Aphrodite, Being There, All the President's Men and Shampoo. - Ed.)
