A Lonely Place with Bogart and Gloria Grahame - excellent story, dialogue, performances, and good cinematography. Enjoyed it very much.

Hostel Part III

Don't Look Now -Nicolas Roeg's 'exercise in film grammar'. Much as I like this film with its drab winter Venice unlike the Venice one usually sees in the cinema, it is a pity Nic and his team have not re-edited the film to get rid of that 70s muzak which pollutes it, it reminds of the music that used to accompany the soft-porn films Italy produced in abiundance in the 70s and is wholly inappropriate to this film. Julie Christie in her prime was remarkably good looking, and I am no fan of Donald Sutherland, but the film as a whole still chills and looks wonderful.

Some of you may lament the sudden death of Theo Angelopoulos, one of the great European directors. In the 1970s and 1980s I saw The Travelling Players on a regular basis, and think it is one of the finest films of the age, I understand why people can't bear it, or his other work, but to me this kind of demanding film with exceptionally long takes, a format that one finds in the work of Tarkovsky and Bela Tarr, when it works is deeply satisfying, Angelopoulos also had an acute eye, his films were always beautifully shot.

There is an interview -possibly one of his last, from last November- with TA in the latest Sight & Sound and can be read here:

Unknown, in which Liam Neeson forgets who he is, loses everything except an old coat, and is set in Berlin, where the heroine is a blonde 20-something taxi driver from Bosnia -aren't they all?

The clue is in the title -why would anyone follow my dismal example and waste two hours of their life? The answer is unknown.

Carpenter's The Thing and the prequel

The original John Carpenter version is awesome, and the prequel was actually surprisingly pretty good too. The last movie I saw was Warhorse. It wasn't bad, the scenes in the trenches were the best parts.
