Just watched the new Indiana Jones film.
Never been a fan of Indiana Jones and now I'm quite glad of it because the series just got butchered in my opinion.

i watched a film called 'the number 23' with jim carrey in it. the concept is quite interesting but it could have been a better film. the second part of the film just let me down. poor acting too.
LadyWenthworth, Was the film "The United States of Leland?" - just a wild guess really....Quote:
Is this the one with Sandra Bullock? I think Ben Chaplin played her partner and Ryan Gosling was one of the students. Is that the one? If not, the story is very similar. The title has completely left my mind right now.
Believe it or not (and now you will all jump on me), I have never seen "Psycho". Not long ago I went to my library; thought they had it, but they did not. Years ago I would not watch it, because of that creepy stabbing scene in the shower. I would watch it now, but then I was too freaked out about the knife and they would always show that part in a preview.Quote:
Honestly, I have never been able to understand how he didn't even get a nomination for his performance in this.
I love "Dial M for Murder"....one of my favorites. I tend to like the ones that take place basically in one or two rooms, like a stage. I like "Rope" for that reason and "Rear Window".Quote:
I have never seen this one either. I watched "Dial M for Murder" again not that long ago. I think that is one of my top Hitchcock films. I love Ray Milland.
Yes, and he plays some creepy and dangerous minister - very fanatical. You can see the cuts on Youtube, but as I said this may be from an uncut version I had not seen years back when I first saw that film. I recall Kathleen Turner being great in it. I don't even remember Perkins being in it...which is strange.Quote:
I know what this film is, but I have never seen it. Isn't Anthony Perkins in this with her?
I actually saw Anthony Perkins in person once in a disco bar in Philadelphia (about 1980). My friend said he brushed past me. I said she was crazy and sure enough, we worked our way through the dance crowd, to the bar and thought it was him. He was with a young lady and they left together after a few minutes and his friend stayed at the bar - my friend, Lynne, asked him if that was who we though it was and he replied "yes, he's in a play in the Playhouse in Fairmount Park this week". Geez, if only we had asked him for an autograph. He was much shorter and slighter, than I envisioned him on screen. He seemed really nice.
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress -- worth all the awards it won -- character study, nostagic ending
I've decided to go through the AFI: 100 Years... 100 Movies (2007) list to see if the "experts" know what they're talking about. I own #s 1-4, so first up was Singing in the Rain. I'm normally not a big fan of musical movies, but I have to admit, I really enjoyed this film. Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds were very good, but Donald O'Connor stole just about every scene he was in. I wouldn't necessarily say it was the fifth best American film ever made, but I'd definitely recommend seeing it if you haven't already.
Next movie: (#7) Lawrence of Arabia
"burn after reading". funny as hell.
Boy A - 9/10 Favorite DVD so far this year (not saying much!)
Hannibal Rising - 6.5/10 Not as bad as I anticipated.
Wall-E - 8/10 Better than I thought!
Mad Money ~ 7/10 kinda cute.
Amélie - 8/10 I'd give this 9/10 if I was a fan of the romance genre =)
A Tale of Two Sisters 8/10 Watched this Korean horror film in celebration of Halloween. Little late to celebrate but it's my first day off since Halloween :) Much better than any American horror film made in the past 10 years.
Edward Scissorhands. 9/10. The best producer, actor and actress all in the same move...excellent.
Saw "Max Payne" in the theater last night. Normally, i do not watch this type of films but this one was based on one of the best shoot em up pc games i have ever played...well it was quite dissappointing..it seems that the film industry can't even be faithfull to the scenario of a pc game (let alone books).
Miller's Crossing - 8.5/10 Very well done crime drama.
(I thought Max Payne was disappointing also but I think they recreated the video game's atmosphere very well)
I guess i expected something more film noir -ish..and they omitted all those weird dreams that were really spooky in the pc game ;)Quote:
