Steamboat Bill, Jr - 1928

Made the year my dad was born.  I liked it, but it really made me appreciate how big in scope the The General is and would have been for its time.

Up in the Air.  It is a good movie and Verara Fammigan is a handsome woman.

Vera Farmiga. Her little sister Taissa is smoking hot, too.

Clint Eastwood double feature tonight:

The Mule

Million Dollar Baby (never seen it)

The one before those:

Lords of Chaos

3/3 all good stuff.

Million Dollar Baby is rough though...

Only the Brave.  I'm halfway through, and I know how it ends.  This is gonna be a hard one to finish.

Heaven Is a Traffic Jam On The 405

A truly bizarre documentary. The subject of this documentary is a wonderful artist but wow she has problems. This was a really tough movie to watch.

Bone Tomahawk (2015). 

Fun enough not to be a complete waste of time, but very nearly a complete waste of time.

 

Was quite a killin' at the end, though....

Rashomon (1950)

Yikes.  A bit of a chore.  I know its one of the great/important ones but the screeching/per minute ratio is just a bit too high for me.

Watching Midnight Run for the 1000th time.   Such a great film. DeNiro and Grodin are perfect together. 

Q1: You know, Jack?  You have 2 emotions: silence and rage.

Q2:  I have two words for you. Shut the fuck up!

I put this in a Blaze Foley thread on the music forum, but I just watched Blaze and thought it was great. Ethan Hawke seems to be a bit of a whipping boy around here, but this is a really well done movie. Ben Dickey and Charlie Sexton are remarkably good.

The Mule and Grand Torino are some of his best, non western's

Hiroshima, Mon Amour (1959)

Although I didn't really care for the last 20 minutes or so, I thought this was terrific.  I think I had previously tried to watch this and given up during the long introduction where you just see photos of the Hiroshima aftermath, but this time, stuck it out and the early scenes of the affair are very affecting, as is the backdrop of the woman's story.

Arty and a bit frustrating, I still thought it packed a nice emotional punch.

tumblr_pd56pvr8Yf1tv0ch1o1_500.png

Hiroshima mon amour has been described as "The Birth of a Nation of the French New Wave" by American critic Leonard Maltin.[5] New Wave filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard described the film's inventiveness as "Faulkner plus Stravinsky" and celebrated its originality, calling it "the first film without any cinematic references".[6] Filmmaker Eric Rohmer said, "I think that in a few years, in ten, twenty, or thirty years, we will know whether Hiroshima mon amour was the most important film since the war, the first modern film of sound cinema".[7]

Destination Wedding

Yes, a woman made me watch it, and no, this movie is not good.  

The Mule.  Eastwood always fantastic, but the script writing made me a little ragey at times.

Aquaman.

I missed the mushroom bowl on the way to the livingroom... furk.

Only the Brave. Has this been discussed on here at all? Holy shit I’m shook. Where was the hype for this movie?

I wish I was writing as I was watching.  Some things just seemed out of place, the mood was different than it maybe should have been.  The first interaction with the guys in the garage.  I didn't care for it.  The interaction(s) with his ex-wife at times.

I can see that

BlacKKKlansman. Pretty good. Closing credits are pretty upsetting.

Bohemian Rhapsody. The movie drags but the performance scenes are great.

Raise Hell:The Life & Times of Molly Ivins.  I highly recommend this movie as it has some great archival footage of some of her best interviews along with stories told by her fellow journalists.  I still miss the days when she was on the Austin desk for the Star Telegram reporting the monkeys running the zoo when the legislature was in session.

The Big Heat (1953)

I love Glenn Ford -- I don't think anyone portrays nice guy going crazy inside better, but he just doesn't have the size and threat to carry this off.  Perfect for something like Blackboard Jungle -- but I just don't think he'd win more than 50% of his fisticuffs and I don't think he'd make Lee Marvin cower.

But a quibble because it's all fun.  Gloria Grahame has some smoke.

Just started re-watching Band of Brothers. This time, at the request of and with my 16 year old son. This is the fucking good stuff.

I watch it every year.  I cry a few times every time.   Just perfect 

Saw Peanut Butter Falcon over the weekend. One of the better new releases I have seen in awhile. Rather see something on that scale than a Marvel remake. More originality from Hollywood please 

Guy that used to work for me - his g-father was Doc Roe.  Guy is a Plano PD officer now.  Walks into work one day wearing a Currahee shirt - rest was history.

So the actors are an amazing group.  They've coalesced around that film and the veterans like I've never seen before.  They always meet each year in Europe during the anniversary.  They are constantly attending services for the veterans, memorials, special occasions to bring attention and awareness to these great men.  All with zero fanfare for themselves.  His page is one of the reasons I cant' quit FB.  He's always posting pics of him with both the veterans and the actors, going through old battlegrounds, trenches, sites of historic battles, etc.  

Shameless book plug

I can't tell you how many hours I spent picking his brain.  What was Winters like?  Was he really this amazing man (he was).  Was Guarnere really such a smart ass (he was).  What was it like to walk the hedgerows where they had their first engagement.  Or the fox holes surrounding Bastogne.  Simply amazing.

Until the day she died.

 

Pather Panchali (1955)

The first entry of Satyajit Ray's trilogy.  Once again, I can't believe how good some of the restorations have been since the turn of the century, and how terrible the prints were when I first tried to watch this (probably on VHS).

It's a pretty sad tale, but the relationship between Apu and his older sister is well done.  The biggest takeaway was the old aunt.  I have never seen a more decrepit human on screen.  But she had some good lines.

Getting old sucks, but getting old in a mean ass Indian village?  Yikes.

If you like the sitar, this one's for you.

 

Just saw MIB International. The whole movie is a horrible plot hole.

Hustlers with JLo ok.  Bunch of ass and tits. 

Laughed a bit. Had some clappers in the audience when it finished 

Ready or Not.

A rare cinematic feat, actually -- a fairly formulaic dark comedy that manages to still be entertaining even though it is thoroughly predictable. You know exactly what's coming, but the gore, the camp, and the sentimentality are blended in an amicably humorous package. I can't think of any movie which ends with the heroine smoking a cigarette on the front steps of a burning building full of dead bad guys that I haven't enjoyed.

X-men Dark Phoenix: Really lame. I never really enjoy the X-men movies, they seem pretty bad.

Aladdin: Will Smith was lame, the whole movie was weaker than the original, and Jaffer was horribly cast.

Just a movie but disappointed the band members allowed the truth be distorted so much.  It’s not like they needed the money and just seems like they sold out.

I’m kind of glad they watered it down because I was able to take my 12 yo daughter. Now she’s a huge Queen fan.

The Lady Eve (1941) 

Not sure I'm a Preston Sturges fan, the gags just keep going and going.  I've got Sullivan's Travels (1941) in the queue, so maybe that will tell me yea or nay.

Barbara Stanwyck had something going on.

Always like to watch that one. Veronica Lake is nice to look at.

Watch The Palm Beach Story. You'll be a Preston Sturges fan.

 

Palm Beach Story is in the queue.

Night and Fog (1956)

Alain Resnais 32 minute documentary of the Holocaust.  Typical terrifying imagery.  Very straightforward. 

The lack of obvious emotion is one of the first things to strike home. There's none of Claude Lanzmann’s potent silences or Steven Spielberg’s heightened pathos. With little over half an hour to play with, there isn’t time for either even if Resnais had wanted to include it. Night and Fog doesn’t dwell, nor does it rush. The format is simple. Archive footage works through the rise to power of the Nazis, the creation of the camps, and subsequent life within them. Camp society is sketched out from the hierarchies amongst prisoners to the distant brutality of the SS, killing and humiliating out of sheer boredom.

Sophie Scholl- The Final Days

War time true story.

Entire movies can be made about the Kangaroo courts of the last few months of the 3rd Reich.  

Good story with subtitles. 

Fuck Nazis.

Do you get as case of the Clap with paid admission too?

The Bigamist.  50s melodrama that seems pretty pedestrian viewed through a modern lens but probably looked like a rather scathing critique of the institution of marriage when it was released.  

Finally watched Into The Spiderverse. Best Spidey film by a mile.

Also, just watched Between Two Ferns: The Movie. Ignore the so called plot and just enjoy the "questions", best ones are in the credits scenes.
