Mamet has created two of the best mystery/fun movies, with the addition of The Spanish Prisoner to the cult classic House of Cards. Mamet movies have a unique style and feel. Mamet's world allows you to lay back and enjoy. No need to critique the acting, writing or rapid pace dialogue. Just enjoy the ride, beacuse if and when Mamet leaves, there is really no one left to fill the void.

I have a very subjective method of measuring some of my all time favorite movies. If I'm surfing the remote and "hit" the movie that I just can leave, then that's it. I did this last night and when I hit "Inside Moves". This is a extremely comfortable and beautifully paced film . The scenes in Max's are so warm and intimate you feel if your in the corner of the bar observing the intimate relationships and comaraderie of the supposedly "special " people that live there. Yes, they are special..they're only aspirations are enjoying each other's company and accepting each other and their metamorphical handicaps. The scene where Louise admits she is frightened by a potential romantic realtionship with Rory is honest and heartbreaking. After checking the credits on Inside Moves I was surprised and then nodding in agreement, why it's a classic. Written by Barry Levinson...enough said..
