Fight Club

Fun, but not great.

I guess I had high expectations, after hearing so much about it.

A Clockwork Orange

Watching it right now actually. Found it funnny that that magizine scam of kids selling magizine subsriptions for points (or other variations) has been around since 1971.

The Prince and the Showgirl

I started to watch this yesterday afternoon and although Marilyn is a delight in it (and so beautiful) I just couldn't stand Larry Olivier's performance - stilted doesn't cover it - so I switched after around 30 minutes and watched Peyton Place instead.

I also was a little anoyed by his performance, and it was ofcouse without subtitels so his parts were also a little difficult for me to understand.

I think the last half an our I started doing some other things but have the movie playing in the background

Borsalino & Co. Overall an ok film. Delon was great. Some really bad acting and effects at times. Is it called that way only because of the hats, right? The only other reference was a truck bearing the logo...
[huh]

OK. I saw "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie, James, Malcavoy, and Morgan Freeman. If this wasn't the worst film ever made, it must rank close. It was stupefying. I feel as if my mind was leeching intelligence while viewing it. It doesn't even warrant a review. Let's just say, beyond implausible.

I Served the King of England (2006), an example of a certain style of European tragicomedies whose stories turn on WW2. (This one's about a Czech headwaiter.) Typically, they're as beautiful and stylized as a porcelain statuette, and about as precious and mannered. This one's no exception. Worthwhile only for some beautiful women, especially the exquisite German actress Julia Jentsch as the hero's Nazi wife.

Singin' in the Rain, enjoyable as always!

Currently watching Ratatouille. It makes me hungry.

Just watched last night: Flash Gordon and the Peril from Planet Mongo...

incredibly primitive special effects...the electrical discharge from a ray gun looks like someone scratched the film negative with a straight pin...and Ming's quasi-Oriental kingdom and the Sherwood Forest-like kingdom of Arboreum...the rocketships looked like flying Electrolux vacuum cleaners.

still, rather fun to watch all these years later, and imagine how captivating all this stuff was to movie audiences in the 30's

Or the 1970s! I grew up watching Buster Crabbe too! Loved it.

A well dressed madman.

American Psycho (2000)

Christain Bale as Partrick Bateman soulless madman and serial killer who's world of fortune and power is that of Cigar Aficionado and GQ. Envy on Wall Street in 1987 with a real killer instinct...

COMPLETELY agree with you. One of the dumbest films I have ever watched.

AmateisGal · Jul 14, 2009

I watched Defiance tonight with Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber. I loved watching the DVD extras where they interviewed the family of the Bielski brothers. Absolutely fascinating story made all the better because it's true.

Funny thing, I rather enjoye it myself, but then I went in not expecting anything more than a big, umb comic book movie, and that's exactly what I got. Big, dumb fun. In some ways, it remine me of some of the themes of The Matrix, as I recall - only more fun, shorn of the po-facedness, the cringingly unsubtle product placement, and the risible sequels. [huh]

I loved those too..... actually, I remember as a six to eight year old being a touch disappointed with the 70s TV show versions of the likes of Flash Gordon and Buck Rodgers after having watched so many of those 30s originals!

Strange Days

*again*
I gotta say, I think Kathryn Bigelow is a severely underrated director. The spectacles she creates in the handful of films shes done are amazing. She makes worlds in worlds, A list actors, great music, and just a good time.

I feel bad for this movie, if it had come out in 98' instead of 96' it wouldnt have tanked at the box office.

And I say it heralds one of the best modern screen kisses ever done.

I REALLY cant wait to see her next film, Hurt Locker.

I just watched 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' directed by Francis Ford Coppola. I don't really care for Keanu Reeves in it, but the cinematography and costume design are great. I think it's considered the last major motion picture that accomplished all its special effects the old fashion way...no CGI.
