Anybody here from Missouri or Arkansas? Especially the Ozarks? The last film I saw was "Winter's Bone" a brilliant but bleak picture of life among some very poor folk in the Ozarks. Boy - this is a part of the US that the modern world gave only bad stuff to. The picture is one of unremitting darkness and ignorance with the central character a young girl trying to take care of her family the only real moment of redmeption. Terrific though.

It was a terrific movie! I recently watched another movie situated in another part of the US that isn't often portrayed in popular film (Upstate NY) called Frozen River. Lead actress was also outstanding.

High Noon

High Noon

Classic movie which has resonated since childhood. The look of cold disdain as Gary Cooper throws down his badge at the end left me with a lifelong loathing of Harry Morgan, even when he played the genial Col Potter in Mash.

Last night I watched a French/German/UK co-production of a 19th century story which combined elements of Dickens, Hardy, Zola and others, called Verborgenes Feuer. Beautifully acted and well-paced.

And it did have Sophie Marceau as the female lead, another of those beautiful and sexy French women who can act everyone else off the screen.

'Nuff said.

The next last film you see might be the film you saw before the last one: remakes are all the rage according to an article in today's Observer -can you believe a remake of Don't Look Now where the excuse is as follows:
"The original was very atmospheric, so we'll provide a little more of the narrative that audiences expect," producer Mark Gordon said.

I can't think of a director whose visual sense and editing style is so individual as Nicolas Roeg, and I can handle all sorts of 'narratives' Mr Gordon! A remake is an insult -not just to Roeg, but to me as well...

That film scared the living shite out of me when I was kid, and thinking back, still gives me a bit of a shiver.
Can't see a remake having the same effect!

I hated this movie...to me - one of the most disappointing endings in a movie of this nature.

..(not to mention, the whole thing plays like a bad television movie)
