I had dinner with a buddy last night and we decided to see Breach, the spy movie that just came out. Without checking on movie times, we go to the theater and hope one is starting soon after we get there. Just our luck, we are 30 minutes late for one and two hours away from the next one. So we buy tickets for the late one and figure we’ll hop into another movie in the meantime. You might call it theater-hopping. I call it making my $8 stretch as far as possible. Hey, I’m broke. Eight dollars for one movie is too much, but eight dollars for two is doable.

We catch Factory Girl, the Andy Warhol movie, just as it’s starting. My friend has no idea who Andy Warhol is. I give him the quick rundown: 60’s-era artist, eccentric, quirky, famous. It’s not a bad movie. Not great though, either. It drags in places, but I guess some bio-pics do that. And it turns out that the movie is less about Andy Warhol than it is about Edie Sedgwick, his short-term project. And, judging from the Wiki, I’m not even sure it’s that accurate. The ‘look’ of the film was interesting, though – filters and camera angles and whatnot.

Then we see Breach. Wow. What a trippy movie. And to think the basic facts of the story are true. A 27-year old rookie at the FBI gets assigned to take down the worst spy in American history. The government isn’t even sure how much damage he did by leaking information to Russia. His treason work supposedly led to the deaths of 50 Americans. Go see this movie. You'll leave with a "damn, that's f-ed up" feeling.
