I was wrong about the color gamut, but you may find the below useful. They've come to different conclusions than us, but mostly because of hardware upgrades. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/06/faceoff-13-macbook-pro-vs-13-macbook-air/

15" res on a 13". Tighter pixel density. IPS so better viewing angles and color. If you have time to order from Apple (or maybe they have in store) you can bump RAM (and processor, but I don't think i7 matters much on 13 MBA). Otherwise just storage space. RAM is the one option I'd consider. I have the current 13" MBP (work) and Mel last 13" MBA (work). Unless video editing/heavy PS, etc. the air is a better machine. Also keep in mind current 13" MBAs gain at least two additional connection options than your 11". The above kickstarter post can even help with storage.

Air not a possibility? The 13" screen is much better there.

Not to mention the shots locations don't exactly neighbor each other. Hey, the bridge driving direction is correct, unlike The Graduate.

If you like The Grifters check out After Dark My Sweet, a film of the same year also based on Jim Thompson. Even better in my book.

He was always a blast to watch.

A Month (of Shows) on the Town by Robert Christgau "Usually I have a good time, and every once in a while I luck into an epiphany. I'm a record guy, always will be. But records can't match the exhilaration of the best gigs. You walk home prepared to live forever." "Jazz locates inspiration in the mortal musician, gospel in the celestial divine—while blues fans, not unlike indie fans, romanticize the grotty, beer-soaked venue itself. Where blues fans differ from indie fans—and always have, even down at the crossroads—is that they regard musicians as means to a party, and the party as the goal." http://www.villagevoice.com/2006-07-18/music/a-month-on-the-town/
