[Mike in Seattle]

The Shootist. Just finished on TCM after The Big Sleep and The Maltese Falcon.

 

[Mister Cairo]

Richthofen and Brown, 1971 Roger Corman production on the Red Baron and Canadian ace Roy Brown credited with shooting him down.

Interesting take on their respective personalities, pretty impressive aerial footage, but more than a few liberties with history. Apparently, for example, the first world war air war took place entirely over the most beautiful countryside imagineable.

Also annoying that they had the Canadian Roy Brown pronouncing the rank "lootenant" not "lef-tenant", as we do to this day.

All in all fairly good film if not well known.

I'm on a Bogart kick, Dark passage. I don't know if him and, Sherlock get along too good, but they''ll have to.

Incidentally, There is a PC game loosely based on Casablanca. If you like to geek out, with the electric witch box, heres something for you. At least read the review, it's awesome, for the big kid in you! http://www.mrbillsadventureland.com/reviews/g-h/grimfandR/grimfandR.htm

Stray Dog, 1949, dir. Akira Kurosawa. If you can see this film, do it. Filled with characters, it takes the police procedural and embues it with the life of cops, criminals, and bystanders. The acting is almost entirely natural, with one or two moments that might be attributed to acting derived from Japanese culture. For the most part, gritty, sweaty, tough, with refreshing humanity interwoven.

If you are familiar with the film, the ball park sequence, as the police are trying to move in on a suspect and try to lure him out of the crowd, reminded me of Hitchcock when he would drop humor into a tense situation. To avoid spoilers, let's say the seventh inning stretch is cleverly used to build tension, as is the sound of a late-inning rally in the background of arrest.

The film was part of the Kurosawa marathon on TCM.

Is that the one in wide screen, with the apartment set that's as wide as a blimp hanger? I remember thinking the couch was about 12 feet long...

It was the wide screen version and that was one long couch!

Tonight I saw "You Only Live Once" (1937) starring Henry Fonda. A great ending I thought.

 

[flat-top]

The Runaways. And now I can't stop singing "Cherry Bomb".

 

[John in Covina]

I went to see Percy Jackson & the Olympians The Lightning Thief which was a fun romp, predictable but fun.

 

[Antje]

Alice in Wonderland!!! I loved it very much

 

[Scott Wood]

Alice in Wonderland!!! I loved it very much

I really enjoyed it as well except for all the people who brought young children to a Tim Burton film so that they could get bored and noisey after 20 mins lol

 

[deadpandiva]

Good hair- I really enjoyed it. It was very informative and not quite what I expected as it focused more on relaxers and weaves.

 

[Hondo]

River Phoenix

The one with Kevin Kline and Tracy Ulman, Keanu Reeves and William Hurt?

Don't forget River Phoenix, sad he isn't here

This film I love (not to death) Kevin Kline is at his best lol
When his mother visits him at hospital,
Momma I got ****** in head (she slaps him)
You got two, three four ******s in head, (pushes him out of bed) lol
Everyone the whole cast was outrageous!

 

[The Good]

Watched The Big Sleep last night. It was an excellent film, and I would consider it one of Bogart's very best works.

Oh, and yesterday, I saw the new Alice and Wonderland at an IMAX theater. It was pretty good, but not a great movie by any means. It had a very "blockbuster" feel to it throughout, but it was entertaining.

Fanstastic Mr. Fox, what a lot of fun! Evidently there's some in-jokes sprinkled throughout, but did anyone else think the rampage of Mr. Bean (?) in the trailer, knocking down books, appliances, etc., then walking towards the camera and knocking some more stuff down, was an homage to Welles' trashing of the bedroom in Citizen Kane? Was it in the book? I'd like to think it was a tribute on the part of Anderson, it's the romantic in me, as Captain Renault says.

The stop-motion was amazing.
