"Bringing Up Baby" with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. An old movie that, for some reason, I'd never seen before. Deeply silly but very cute and funny.

Amour (Michael Haneke, 2012)
Haneke recreated his parent's apartment, and based this film in part on the death of his Aunt. The acting from Trintignant, Riva and Huppert is superb, and if you do not stray too far outside the confines of the film this is one of Haneke's best. The problem is that it raises a moral question and as he has done before, Haneke manipulates the moral feelings of his audience while claiming to be neutral. For this reason a compelling film, if only for the stunning performance by Emmanuelle Riva. The film does not tell the whole truth about looking after someone as ill as the Riva character, but that doesn't matter. The film pays homage to Tarkovski with the music of Bach (the chorale prelude that is also used in Solaris, Wir Ruft zu dir, Herr Jesus Christ).

Blind Chance (Krysztof Kieslowski, 1981)
Kieslowski made this film film in 1980 but it wasn't shown until 1987 for political reasons. The film begins on an aeroplane that is seen at the very end, and offers three narratives of a man running after a train from Poznan to Warsaw, and either catching it or not -leading into three different stories all of which end with the possibility of that plane journey from Warsaw to Paris. I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something cold about Kieslowski's films which prevents me from loving them; they are great to watch, good scripts, good acting, but I wonder if he is too intellectual a film-maker-? His third feature after Scars, and Camera Buff, and one of his best films.

Currently watching Ghost Rider, christ, Nicolas Cage is such an amazing actor. I don't think I've ever seen him do a bad movie

With the new season of Game of Thrones starting tonight I was once again reminded of the excellent Mr. Dinklage.
You are joking, aren't you?Quote:

Manhattan by Woody Allen
The Station Agent? Really?????? I've never like Peter Dinklage in anything. In every movie, he just seems like an unpleasant guy who is waiting for someone to notice his stature so he can silently judge how shallow they are. Ive never seen the series on HBO that he is in so maybe when I do I'll change my mind but for now, I dont like his acting.
Hi barbie, did you like Manhattan? I enjoyed it but if I remember I liked Annie Hall a bit better.Quote:

Watched 'The Great and Powerful Oz' last weekend w/James Franco, Mila Kunis and Michelle Williams. They did a real nice job trying to make it a pre-quel and according to a NY Times article there were many iconic Wizard of Oz references they werent allowed to use due to legal battles over who owns what so that must not have been easy. The fact is, the movie was just tooooooo long. Two hours in and James Franco is still trying to convince everyone that he isnt a real wizard. If they gutted 45 minutes from the middle of this film I'd give it a possible 6 stars.
Book of Eli - neat story, nice cast...transition shots were great. I also like the underlying tone of their history and possible future.
He does a wild cameo in the dark and very funny In Bruges.Quote:

You are right though about In Bruges, it's good.
Whoops, my bad. But it is a really good film, worth seeking out. Colin Farrell has never been better before or since, and Brendan Gleeson is simply magnificent. But the star is undoubtedly Bruges itself.Quote:

I'd agree that he has made some wonderful films. But they've become increasingly patchy since his heyday.
Thanks for the response Barbi:). Keep us posted on the next movie you see.
Prospero, I can think of a recent Woody Allen film that wasn't spotty. Whatever Works. IMO it was bad from start to finish. I say this as a fan. But usually I find something I like even if I realize the movie isn't so good as a coherent whole.
Act of valor
Fairly predictable but not bad. Quick moving.

Madagascar (Eric Darnell & Tom McGrath, 2005)
Hmmm...the three main characters are tedious, don't know much about Chris Rock except he has an irritating voice.
The Penguins were the stars...dare I say...cool?

But all is not what it seems, and only one man can rescue the remains of humanity from the deathly campaign of the TET (no, not the Thetans, the TET). Yes, of course there is a wise old man among the rebellious human survivors, and yes, he does say of Jack Harper 'He's the one'; then upgrade him to Commander. In fact, they like Jack Harper so much there are multiple copies. And yes, the music is made up of four notes repeated endlessly to marching drums, then whooshh....silence....crash! Or snap, crackle and pop. The biggest let down is in not seeing as much of Andrea Riseborough's naked body as I would like, there was nothing else of interest in this garbled nonsense.

Evil Dead 2013. Not a bad addition to Evil Dead. I Saw Bruce Recently before seeing the movie and he said that this was not a remake, but another story in the evil dead realm. After hearing him say that I was more excited about watching it and less upset that there was no Ash character. The movie itself is Gorishly Awesome.
