Dawn Davenport! The scene where (s)he trashes the family Xmass tree because there were no go-go boots underneath is comedy gold.

OK DR MORBIUS I WATCHED YR PRECIOUS MUNICH.

it was ok. about what i expected. eric bana was pretty good although as the movie went along i could hear spielberg saying "ok but more INTENSE." some fairly ridiculous dialogue. and serious aesthetic conflict between spielberg's affinity for snappy action sequences and the moral freight those sequences are supposed to carry. also, the closing view of the twin towers was the cheapest of cheap shots.

Speaking of Israel - weird 70s Israeli flick called "Metzitzim"

Basically consisted of Arik Einstein acting surly and a lot of dudes perving on ladies at the beach

I'll think to rent something like The Wicker Man because it seems funny though, I mean really Nick Cage punching Leelee Sobieski in the face, screaming "BITCHES" while wearing a bear suit--that is good for at least one laugh, in a group setting.
The best part is the facefull of bees!! Don't ya wish that scene was for real?

ps i did not see 21 grams or crash

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Sunday, 28 January 2007 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I'm really not saying it's good, but I'm sort of taken by how loathed it is. Maybe not quite as loathed as Munich (hyuck), but both deserve better.

Notes On A Scandal. Total, TOTAL trash but lots of fun.

shopgirl, ugh, awful

― dmr (Renard), Monday, 29 January 2007 03:36 (nineteen years ago)

Aw, really? It's on my list.

i just started watching "A Place Called Chiapas" on google videos

― mothers against celibacy (skowly), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:08 (nineteen years ago)

first half of In The Bedroom - Dubus adaptations appear to be 0 for 2 thus far.

― milo z (mlp), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:13 (nineteen years ago)

the good thing about shopgirl is how it portrays LA - i liked that.
mostly though, not such a good movie. lacklustre script that seemed to want to do something else or was just bad. people/lives i was not interested in. overall pretty boring.

i liked her apartment stairs, the driving scenes, and the LA views and sidewalks and the light

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:14 (nineteen years ago)

the novella starts out super-twee and sweet and then just kind of peters out after a while.

― milo z (mlp), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:43 (nineteen years ago)

Got so stoned and went to Holy Mountain/El Topo double feature last night at the Brattle. Liked Holy Mountain (which I'd never seen) way better, though I don't know if that was because of the "OMG IT'S THE INSIDE OF MY BRAIN" effect (they showed it before "El Topo" for some reason).

gyps, the WTC shot was so "cheap" I can guarantee you a majority of the audience probably didn't get it (and in some cases, see it -- the towers were in the b.g., after all). I thought the Hitchcock/Costa-Gavras suspense/moral weight thing was perfectly balanced.

I generally didn't mind 21 Grams much, maybe I will rent Babel or see if I can find a $6 show.

A Scanner Darkly. It's the first tme Robert Downey, Jr succeeded in annoying the shit out of me.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 29 January 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Little Miss Sunshine, it made me feel good about life. There were better movies of 06, but not many that made me want a hug from my little sister so much.

Hoodwinked, far funnier than it had any business being.

i believe that the item in question is cha-cha heels, not go-go boots.

ayep.

Before Sunset
Miami Vice

Not a masterpiece or even really very good, but why this gets as much hate as Crash is, I think, knee-jerk aftershock from that film.

Very much OTM.

Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain (because I was hoping beyond hope I'd see J3nna Jam3son in a non-porn role keeping her top on; WRONG) (also, not even enjoyably bad) (also, take LONGER to kill off the annoying stud-douche, k thx)

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

Repast (Naruse) ... maybe not the best intro to this guy's work, but still great in a low key way

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

just watched spirit of the beehive. haven't caught pan's labyrinth yet.
saw children of men last night. when the title card flashed i thought we'd reached intermission!

Oh also: The War Room (hi gabbneb)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

Tampopo! So classic. Egg scene, still one of the hottest movie moments for me.

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

kiss kiss bang bang was good, but suffered from the plot device of, i'll keep accidentally running into the same people over and over, cause this happens in real life all the time

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

I got Two Drifters at home. Anyone seen it?

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 29 January 2007 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

It's next up on Netflix for me.

the movie exists in such a fantasyland that really didn't bother me

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

very true, I thought the whole point of the movie was to exist in some noiresque action-adventure fantasyland

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

oh by the way in breach chris cooper uses the phrase "as dumb as a bag of hammers"!!! i almost fell out of my seat!!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

oh oh btw Back to the Future was on tv yesterday and I would like to point out that 50's Biff's line, "WHY DON'T YOU MAKE LIKE A TREE AND GET OUT OF HERE?" is one of the greatest lines ever.

― Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

having downloaded the complete 2nd season of Veronica Mars, I watched a seriously unhealthy number of episodes yesterday. oh man. and there's STILL MORE.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:08 (nineteen years ago)

How was Breach, slock!?!??!?! I thought the trailer was kinda hokey, but A) Chris Cooper, B) Laura Linney, C) the director of Shattered Glass (or so you said), so!?!?!??!

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

i really liked it. it was like shattered glass 2: the chriscooperning.

laura linney was terrific and cooper was AMAZING... totally fascinating, complicated, weird role.

ryan philippe i actually like but i don't think he really held his own against cooper here.

but it really is similar to shattered glass (which i love) in a lot of really good ways.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

i saw a movie called 'sack of hammers' once. it was 3 hours long.

― roger goodell (gear), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

being there for the first time A+

― 69 (plsmith), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't like Being There at all. I saw it for the first time last summer.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Monday, 29 January 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

I saw ten or so Naruses last year, Eric, and that one's as good a place to start as any -- like Fassbinder, his career is one big film.

woooo, Two Drifters very pretty, pokerfaced and totally bananas

Prince Ehtejab
