Arlington Road
February 12th, 2007
Got around to watching Arlington Road today. I have some kind of strange Jeff Bridges fetish since I really like just about everything he’s done — this was no different.
It’s the fantastic build of tension as Jeff’s character slowly becomes convinced that Tim Robbins is up to no good. Robbins has been another favourite ever since the Player and here he exudes sinister. He’s perfectly cast. The final denoument is also great – a lovely twist turning most of what you’ve assumed around.

I too love Jeff Bridges.
The Dude abides, and I take comfort in that fact.
Incidently, Arlington Road was the first movie I ever pirated off the internet, all those years ago. It was a DVD screener, complete with black and white sections and scrolling text telling me to call a special 800 number to report it.
Yeah, like I’m going to report that I’m watching an illegal screener.
