Thursday Movie Picks: Immortals

First thought: Vampires. Second thought: Let me try my best to not go there. Third thought: Well, there is one Vampire Movie I love to death (pun intended), so it will be so. Fourth thought: What about time travel? Does that count? I'm pretty sure Doc Brown is immortal... Fifth thought: That's way too much to think about. Sixth thought: I'll just go with my gut.

So, it's Thursday, a mild one for June here in East Tennessee with 85 as the high, and it's time for another entry in Wandering through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks. This week's theme: Immortals.

Thursday Movie Picks: Con Artists

My Thursday Movie Picking has been a bit intermittent of late. (I know. I know.) Stress from work begat a weakened immune system begat a fairly brutal case of bronchitis mixed in with the Thanksgiving Holiday, and I've barely had time to do any posting of any kind.

It is Thursday though. Maybe my favorite day, and I just can't say no to this week's theme on Wandering through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks. I mean...Con Artists! Easily some of the best movie characters have taken the grift as their lifestyle of choice. And I've always found myself drawn to the seedy ones, the ones who run true confidence tricks with a look at the big score, the long con.
