Movie #1020: Don't Come Knocking (2006, Wim Wenders)
Checking over at IMDB, I see that this is the first Wim Wenders movie (excluding documentary "Buena Vista Social Club") that I've seen in 25 years. And the previous one (Paris Texas) was great! And still I waited a quarter of a century to see another one (I must be a very busy person).
Actually this one and Paris Texas are quite similar. Both were written by Sam Shepard. The main difference is that Sam now looks knarled enough that he can play the lead role himself. The only bit in the movie that didn't make sense was Earl's reaction to his father showing up. It appears that they added that bit so there was something in the plot that would explain why a sofa was sitting out in the street. Wim certainly made good use of that sofa!.
My favourite bit of dialogue: hard-as-nails private eye Tim Roth finds out that Howard's mom (Eva Marie Saint) has been lying to him. He heads over there to confront her. She answers the door and asks if he wants to come in for some milk and cookies. He stares at her......."Milk and cookies!?!?!".........................................................................."what kinda cookies?".
