Watched "James Dean: An Invented Life" by Mark Rydell today on DVD.

I had seen it before on TV, but seeing Mark Rydell in Woody Allen's "Hollywood Endings" the other day, I wanted to watch this again. Rydell seems like an interesting guy.

James Franco is just amazing, I think. The film has some really good performances like, Michael Moriarty and Edward Herrmann.

It's funny, I like biographical movies and books, but I seem to like just the beginning parts of the subjects early struggles and then I get bored when they reach their peak and their downfall. It's like I'm thinking these are some kind of "How-to" videos on whatever the subject.
