First Lines: Dashiell Hammett - The Glass Key
Green dice rolled across the green table, struck the rim together, and bounced back.
Vignettes #60
A friend of mine has 2 sons, the oldest one is attending 3rd grade elementary school. Recently my pal got a phone call by an irate priest who was giving his son lessons to prepare him for first communion. Obviously, his son had called the priest a 'Spatzerlhirn' which is a Bavarian expression, literally a 'sparrow's brain'. I don't think it needs any explanation. So while my friend politely aplogized for his son's behaviour, he was in fact quite proud of his boy.

First Lines: Vladimir Nabokov - Pnin
The elderly passenger sitting on the north-window side of that inexorably moving railway coach, next to an empty seat and facing two empty ones, was none other than Professor Timofey Pnin.
Spellbound (1945)
A female psychiatrist protects the identity of an amnesia patient accused of murder while attempting to recover his memory.
Classic Hitchcock thriller with a famous dream sequence, the plot is quite construed, though.
The Watcher (2000)
A detective tracking a serial killer gives up all hope of solving the crimes and moves to another city.
Haphazard crime thriller that hardly misses a cliche.
Haphazard crime thriller that hardly misses a cliche.
A Walk in the Clouds (1995)
Schmaltzy melodrama, everything made in such good taste so that it can't disguise the fakeness of it all.
