Boston Legal #15

Last night was Boston Legal #15 - hosted by K.C. outside in 80 degree weather instead of a crisp fall evening.  Great discussion about current events, and memories of how each of us have changed over the 25 years.

Continuing in the DeNiro and Duvall tradition movie choices - the pick was "The Good Shepherd".  Rated 6.7 out of 10 on IMDB it was in the middle of the pack of 90 Spy and Cold War movies under consideration for the evening.

My favorite quote occurred early in the movie as a Poetry Professor at Yale said "Fine Poetry is the music of mathematics.  Numbers singing. You have to look behind the words to understand their meaning."

It was a complicated CIA movie about loyalty, betrayal, duty, temptation, decency and truth.  Full of mystery with Skull and Bones club, Mafia, KGB and others, the movie show how power can corrupt at every level.

Funny how that was part of the cigar and bourbon discussion prior to the viewing.
