Watched Topkapi over the weekend. Nice jewel heist caper.

Directed by Jules Dassin, who's noted for his film noir stuff (Rififi, Naked City, Brute Force... all of which are great), it's definitely not noir. Pretty much a lighthearted heist movie - think Ocean's 11. If anything, this movie is worth checking out to see the robbery scene that De Palma ripped off for Mission Impossible.

I saw "state in play" yesterday. If you like thrillers with absurd plot twists, this movie for you.

The trailer for this was awful. One of those where you have no idea what the story is, you just see a lot of people running around like they're in danger, some things explode, and then a line like "this is as connected as it gets."
