A stranger is truly grateful.Earl Pomerantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963705121297866334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-72784454827464541802010-11-14T02:23:10.460-08:002010-11-14T02:23:10.460-08:00This is a great blog.

If I ever visit Scotland -which I'd love to do except TSA wants to barbecue us in their pornographic x-ray machines- I intend to visit the locations where they filmed the movie. <br /><br />There's Pennan on the northeast coast near Aberdeen, which was used for the scenes with the inn and the pier. On the west coast of Scotland, they used the Mallaig area near the Hebrides for the shore footage.<br /><br />For what it tried to do, "Local Hero" is a perfect little movie. A smart script with understated humor, endearing characters led by Peter Riegert and Burt Lancaster, and a charming soundtrack written by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. He also wrote the music for one of the great movies of any era, "The Princess Bride."<br /><br />By today's standards, it's slow and subtle, but I'd rather spend time with Local Hero characters than most of the ones up on the screen today.Max Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706524941272103444noreply@blogger.com
