A very generous friend also sent me a copy of "This Thing of Ours." I liked it a lot, but it's not a great film, IMO. On the one hand, it's got an unbeatable cast, and some of the dialog between the veterans is as natural-sounding and engaging as anything in a Scorsese gangster flick. On the other hand, I found the plot far-fetched and the ending unsatisfying.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
