Paul.
It's good. For fairly light entertainment. Well, pure escapism --

Eat the Rich.

[Prospero]

Two very different but excellent films both seen today.
The Ides of March - political drama which is deeply cynical about the whole process and nature of politics. Written, directed by and starring George Clooney.

My Week With Marilyn - to be released in USA and UK next week. It's gonna get lots of awards - a feelgood but bitter sweet film about the encounter between Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier when they were filming in the UK in the 1950s. Michelle Williams terrific as Monroe - no easy feat - and Kenneth Branagh as Olivier.

Horrible Bosses, right before that Tower Heist........

p.s. Brett Ratner sucks as a director

[Dino Velvet]

Not as good as the first one. The only Horror were the performances.

Finally got a quality disc of the film Quilombo....great historical drama. Also, another foreign language film Princessa.

[Prospero]

Princessa was a very interesting film. If Quilombo is half as good I need to seek it out.

Classic Scorsese

[Stavros]

Casino is a terrible film, ill-conceived and badly written, just another one of Scorsese's tired efforts. Even Goodfellas doesn't match up to Mean Streets, which is one of the two 'classic Scorsese' films, the other being Raging Bull, most of his other films are tepid or just too self-indulgent.

What a pity we cannot erase Marilyn Monroe from history; this was a woman with no talent whose alleged popularity was based on her tits and her ass, and nothing else. I cannot think of a single film which she stars in which is worth seeing, The Prince and the Showgirl being one very long embarrassment.

"Some Like It Hot", Stavros... or are you totally estranged from popular culture?
