Le Boucher/The Butcher  1970, Chabrol, Fr 1st time; big screen Fresh from the Indo-china war, an ex-soldier returns to provincial France and assumes responsibility of his father's butchery, where he falls for the village school's headmistress... An absorbing, clever film on the transferrance of guilt; a linear, simple narrative offers complex, noirish undertones about human desire and selfish want, with endless references to Hitchcock.Absolute masterpiece; see it now. Mick

Although I was a little disappointed with the Nurse Ratched character. The performance was fine but I thought she was going to be more "cold" or more of a "villian" [/b] Nurse Ratched is one of the most hated vilians of all time. When whacthing Cuckoo's Nest you just want to reach inside the screen and choke her. Spoilers When McMurphy finally does this to her, you can't help but cheer. This is Milos Forman's Masterpiece

Nurse Ratched is one of my favorite characters to hate from ANY movie I've ever seen. (Conversely, even though Will Sampson's part is relatively small, he's one of my favorite film characters).

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America - (Mike Judge/Yvette Kaplan;1996;USA) - Two lazy, stupid teenagers journey across America while searching for their TV in order to "score" while the FBI chases them."Beavis and Butt-head" was one of those great TV shows like "Ren and Stimpy" or "Rocko's Modern Life" that we just grow up loving so much. This has always been hilarious to me. Every scene has laughs, and despite what Ebert says, the characters are easily likable, at least by fans. Like Election, one of the only good things to be produced by MTV. Judge is great at comedies. I hope to see Office Space soon.

No I didn't. I think Beavis and Butt-Head is being played on a few weekdays at & PM. Not EVERY weekday. I just hope it's not temporary. There was a marathon this morning. You can look it up on the http://www.comedycentral.com schedule.

Angel Heart I saw the special edition DVD in Wal-Mart for 10 bucks, so I picked it up. What a surprisingly great film! After the film was over, I really had no idea what the hell just happened, but the 10 or so minutes afterwards, it all clicked (I think). I only bought it because Robert De Niro was in it, and I hadn't seen a Mickey Rourke movie since 9 1/2 Weeks. I was very pleasantly surprised, and that's saying something for a film that's so grotesque and twisted. ***1/2 out of ****

Seven Samurai ** 1/2
A village is constantly attacked by well armed bandits. One day after an attack they seek the wisdom of an elder who tells them they cannot afford weapons, but they can find men with weapons, samurai, who will fight for them, if they find samurai who are in down on their luck and wondering where their next meal will come from. They find a very experienced samurai with a good heart who agrees to recruit their party for them. He selects five genuine samurai and one who is suspect but the seven return to the village to protect it from the forty plus bandits.
This was my 2nd time viewing this film and although I did enjoy it more the 2nd time around, I still don't see this movie as a masterpiece unfortunately. The story was very good and the actors and everything else were fine, but sorry to say ronnie, it was long (3 and 1/2 hours). This is supposed to be Japan's equivalent to our Citizen Kane and although I haven't seen Citizen Kane yet, I must admit that I was disappointed with the Seven Samurai yet again. The Kikuchiyo character was a little weird IMO but did add some comic relief when needed.

Chinatown #19 on the AFI Top 100 List ** 1/2
Los Angeles detective Jake Gittes is hired by a woman claiming to be a Mrs. Mulwray to spy on her husband. Shortly after Gittes is hired, the real Mrs. Mulwray appears in his office threatening to sue if he doesn't drop the case immediately. Gittes pursues the case anyway, slowly uncovering a vast conspiracy centering on water management, state and municipal corruption, land use and real estate, and involving at least one murder.
Not a bad movie but Nicholson I didn't think brought the same presence as he did in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Also, Mr. Mulwray's character was a real piece of sh*t. I was kinda disappointed
Psycho #18 on the AFI Top 100 List ****
Phoenix officeworker Marion Crane is fed up with the way life has treated her. She has to meet her lover Sam in lunch breaks and they cannot get married because Sam has to give most of his money away in alimony. One Friday Marion is trusted to bank $40,000 by her employer. Seeing the opportunity to take the money and start a new life, Marion leaves town and heads towards Sam's California store. Tired after the long drive and caught in a storm, she gets off the main highway and pulls into The Bates Motel. The motel is managed by a quiet young man called Norman who seems to be dominated by his mother.
My favorite Hitchcock film without a doubt! Terrific performances by Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins. I absolutely loved the camera movement in this movie by Hitchcock and it's easily one of my favorite "suspense/horror" movie

Wild at Heart  1990, Lynch, US 1st time A snakeskin-jacketed parolee goes on the run with his girlfriend, with a violent-minded would-be mother-in-law hot on their trail. Darkly comic, anything goes adventure; a modern translation of The Wizard of Oz , with sex, violence and the most surreal of touches from all sides; only the photography has any kind of tonal consistence, and the whole thing gives the feel that it was made by a bunch of people on drugs.Mick
