Well, beginning my foray into classic cinema, I started with this film. This film had great chemistry between Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. Lemmon was especially great, I'm eager to see him in some dramatic work because I thought he showed real talent in this comedic piece. I was actually very pleased with the camera work in this one. While Wilder chose to just use one long take sometimes for conversation pieces, which I didn't like, the camerawork ultimately was a strong point of the film.

Really good supporting cast as well with George Raft, Joe E. Brown, and a 3rd act cameo by Nehemiah Persoff. Ultimately a very good film, maybe not as funny as advertised, but still well put together.

4/5 Stars [/b]
Monroe was so damn hot too.

Yeah watching it today made me realize for the first time how fantastic Mann's writing is right next to his stellar direction. Certain lines just have such a nice pop to them.

It's my investigation. And my
authority supersedes your rank!
And I am not settling for some
chicken shit misdemeanor!

With the heat we got, you wanna
play World War Two in the streets
with Van Zant?

What the fuck is that? Barbecues
and ballgames?

And, best line in the movie. . .

You see me doing thrill-seeker
liquor store holdups with a "Born
to Lose" tattoo on my chest?

SO F'ING AWESOME

BloodRayne * 1/2

My first Uwe Boll movie and now I know why suspect_5 likes him so much. In his opinion, "his movies are so bad they're good." That should be a pretty good indication about this movie. The fight scenes were terrible with too much blood-splatter (how often do you hear me saying that). I'm also curious how they assembled the cast that they did: Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sir Ben Kingsley.

The DaVinci Code ** 1/2

I don't think it was as bad as some have made it out to be but it is kinda long and boring in parts. However, Paul Bettany and Ian McKellen really stole the show. Not Opie's best work, but I still like him

Saw - (James Wan;2004;USA)
Two men awake in a bathroom with a corpse to find they must play a psychopath's game to survive.
While there are some things I liked about this movie, there were many I didn't like. It's slightly different then the average horror/thriller film, but not without it's cliches. Almost everything in this film has been done before. Hell, some of the sets looked recycled from Seven. It's somewhat entertaining, but ridiculously overrated. Not to mention I hated some of the editing, specifically when Glover and the other man are driving in their cars.

I'm glad Samuel L. Jackson rebounded from that piece of sh*t The Man. However, the previews promised a "shock of an ending" and it sucked. NO shock at all, it was so stupid and terribly written.

Annie Hall
1977; Allen

(my 1st Woody Allen movie)

Really enjoyed this film. Woody Allen showed great balls in the writing and directing of this movie in my opinion. I loved things such as Allen's character taking brutually candid relationship advice from random people in the street as if they were his best friends, and characters weaving in and out of their childhood's while remaining in their adult forms.

His fantastic experimentation with breaking of the narrative and character's dialouge to one another was expertly disguised in a nice little romantic comedy, but these aspects of the film show evidence of genius directorial mind to me. Great characters as well, especially Diane Keaton who I liked here more than in any of the Godfather films.

Seems as though High Fidelity was highly, highly influenced by this film.

And to address the great debate, I do believe that this film deserved the 1978 Best Picture Oscar over Star Wars.

4.5/5 Stars

Felicity Huffman was enjoyable and deserving of her Academy Award Nomination. Other than that, the movie was just ok.

I still have to watch it! :rolleyes: Isn't it a shame???

Yesterday I watched "Hide and Seek," starring Robert DeNiro and Dakota Fanning. Another unnecessary, forgettable and trivial movie with DeNiro in it. What a shame.

yeah definitely one of the great movies I've seen in my life. Woody Allen at his best, which leads to dialogue and directing as good as they come. Diane Keaton is a million times better than in any of the Godfather films.

Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville - today I was awarded with this amazing piece of film making in the middle of the afternoon, right when I had absolutely nothing to do. it was money for me. my 2nd favorite from Godard so far (only behind "a bout de souffle") and very different from the other films of him I had already watched ("a bout de souffle", "une femme est une femme" and "pierrot le fou").
if one movie on earth is worth watching over and over a lot of times, this is the one. there's depth in anything, and I don't think I got half of the meaning of this film. can't wait to watch it again.

Mission Impossible 3

This movie wasnt as bad as i expected. there are some great action scenes like the one on the bridge but the storyline is very shaky. i also believe they shouldve shown more of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but when he was in the film he was great as a bad guy

overall rating: 3/5

The Boondock Saints ****

Yet another film I'm so incredibly happy I got to view on the silver screen. Probably my favorite Willem Dafoe movie. Buy the DVD tomorrow

THE BOONDOCK SAINTS - **

Wildly popular cult movie made in the aftermath of the Quentin Tarantino/Kevin Smith pop culture-era that is a fucking mess.

Is this a comic book-ish vigilante action movie? A campy silly flick? A Irish nationalism masturbation porno?

This film tried to be a PUNISHER-comics in terms of enjoyment, two brothers killing bad people for the Lord and that shit, which is fine. However, then writer/director Troy Duffy wanted to make it part of the post-modernistic movement of the 1990s.....but because he tried to make a fusion flick, but with two incompatable narratives, the film fails because...what does it want to be?

As for Dafoe, well he does give his best, I'll give Irishman that. Hell, the only scene I laughed was when he bitchslapped that dude in bed for trying to cuddle with him.

One shot I did like, though too bad Duffy didn't put much thought like this throughout the movie, was near the end, with the boys smuggling the guns into the courthouse.

Notice that Duffy hasn't made a movie since SAINTS...but that is another story!

Full Metal Jacket ***
A good war movie when viewed in isolation. But when we bring in the fact that the movie was made in 1987, one year after Platoon and several years after Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now, I feel that the movie didn't offer any new insight into the vietnam war or the human mind affected by war. I liked the first half of the movie which shows the Marine training in great detail.

Annie Hall is fantastic; strong echoes of Bergman (whose Wild Strawberries also uses the character digressions observnig their own past).

I rate Manhattan as Allen's best.

FULL METAL JACKET (1987) - *****

Kubrick dished out another masterpiece, this time with the war genre, in a film with a brilliant 1st half, where ordinary men are trained to be killing machines until one does break down, and an even MORE spectacular 2nd half, where funny enough, for a conflict of Vietnam that we usually envision fights in jungles, it takes place in a sterile urban environment.

So much I loved about this movie, but one would be how for once, the shooting of guns isn't like some video game, where you point and BANG. No, you can see the bullets hit all over the vicinity of the target, which really you don't see much in movies. Nevermind the movie's great black humor, which unlike Kubrick's DR. STRANGELOVE, isn't really on the surface, but instead it, lurking around, only giving rare glimpses of it to people who happen to catch a glance of it. Really the Big Foot of the movie.

What did you think of it Irish? I have it but haven't seen it in a looooooong time. I only remember two deaths, mainly the one from the dog.

Some of the deaths were laughable but it was well done and enjoyable. Jessica Harper was very attractive and the use of color really stood out the most

The Search for One-Eye Jimmy **

Recommended from a customer at work. He enjoys it more than The Big Lebowski. I didn't, but it was worth my time. Samuel L. Jackson was funny as a crazy former-Nam soldier
