Have you ever had a crush on someone of the same sex? Not so much in a sexual way, but in wanting to be *like* that person? There were two people like that for me. One was Tawney Kitaen from the "Whitesnake" videos, for obvious reasons. All the guys wanted her. The other one is Madeleine Stowe, and the movie that put her into my hall of fame was "Blink" with Aidan Quinn. When I was a child, one of my fondest memories was of my great-uncle playing the fiddle. He even gave me a violin, and I did take lessons for a while, but it was classical training and it didn't keep my interest. Maddy's playing in "Blink" brought it back for me, faked or not. Combined with the character's independant spirit and wry humor, I took to the movie and the actress instantly. She... was... cool. So I rented the movie from Netflix, and it's as good as I remember. The plot has been recycled in countless police procedurals now, but back then it was a fairly fresh idea, and still stands up as a mystery with some good twists and fake-outs. And Aidan Quinn is terribly adorable, and a better actor than I remember. Now I have to go dig my violin out of storage and see if it's still in tune.
