Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: Tex/Czech Kolaches
Forget Jason Bourne’s death defying chases, or James Bond’s wit and savior faire. As in real life, the significant events in this classic espionage film are in muted greys, shadows gliding past us without revealing their true significance.

RAINY DAY RENTALS

The Good Shepherd: Cuban Roast Pig
The gray everyday grind of the CIA’s early years are as far away from the sexy glamour of James Bond as fact from fiction. Not everyone is going to enjoy this glimpse at a shadowy world of suspicion that slowly erodes the soul.

CLASSIC & CRIME

The Lives of Others: Schnitzel with Lemon-Caper Cream
Rarely has there been such a perfect film, and increasingly rarer yet, one that Hollywood has had the good sense to recognize. Though it is interlaced with references to the plays of Bertolt Brecht and the music of Beethoven, to me this exquisite German film shines with the spare beauty of a Petrarchan sonnet.
