Indeterminacy X8
Years ago
when I was studying
with
Arnold Schoenberg
someone
asked him
to explain
his technique
of twelve-tone
composition.
His
reply
was
immediate:
“That
is none of your business.”

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974)
In New York, armed men hijack a subway car and demand a ransom for the passengers.
A true classic New York thriller of the kind they hardly make anymore. I'm dreading to watch the remake...
State of Grace (1990)
A young man, who several years earlier left his Irish-American neighborhood and gang friends, returns to find himself drawn into the world of an Irish-American mob family, most of whom are all his old buddies.
Excellent mobster thriller with some great performances by Sean Penn, Gary Oldman and Ed Harris.
Mindhunters (2004)
Trainees in the FBI's psychological profiling program must put their training into practice when they discover a killer in their midst.
Standard thriller fare with a serial killer touch, mildy entertaining, although a bit far-fetched.
