Runaway Jury
Usually I mention little indy films cuz I watch a lot of them, but this is one mainstream movie I enjoyed. Basic Grisham plot – aspects of the law. Great suspense. Some of my favorite actors. And like often, a great song played with the ending credits, which I hadn’t heard before. It’s Norah Jones take on a Dylan song called Heart of Mine:
Heart of mine be still,
You can play with fire but you’ll get the bill.
Don’t let her know
Don’t let her know that you love her.
Don’t be a fool, don’t be blind
Heart of mine.Heart of mine go back home,
You got no reason to wander, you got no reason to roam.
Don’t let her see
Don’t let her see that you need her.
Don’t put yourself over the line
Heart of mine.Heart of mine go back where you been,
It’ll only be trouble for you if you let her in.
Don’t let her hear
Don’t let her hear you want her.
Don’t let her know she’s so fine
Heart of mine.Heart of mine you know that she’ll never be true,
She’ll only give to others the love that she’s gotten from you.
Don’t let her know
Don’t let her know where you’re going.
Don’t untie the ties that bind
Heart of mine.Heart of mine so malicious and so full of guile,
Give you an inch and you’ll take a mile.
Don’t let yourself fall Don’t let yourself stumble.
If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime
Heart of mine.

Deep Thought: As I walked through the woods, I looked up and saw a squirrel. I smiled and he smiled. At least I think it was a smile. My teeth were showing and my cheeks were pulled up. That’s a smile, isn’t it? (The squirrel was definitely smiling.)
Today I am grateful for: Back yards

There’s a squirrel in my back yard that smiles,… every time he raids my bird feeder.
I get a big laugh every day out of your Deep Thoughts. Keep ‘em coming.
That song is haunting……….
I love Gene Hackman and John Cusack! Haven’t seen this movie yet, though. It was my favorite of the Grisham books (none of which I liked all that well).
I keep hearing good things about this film, the cast sounds fantastic. I recall enjoying the book, but don’t remember much about it. John Cusack & Dustin Hoffman are always excellent.
I’ll have to watch that one. Your deep thoughts are pretty funny.
