Oh, Handful of Dust is a fabulous movie! I haven't seen it for years now but I remember being very struck by it when I did see it. I'm a big fan of Evelyn Waugh so that helps but as you said, the acting is wonderful and the movie is very well put together.Quote:

"Cassandra's Dream"
It was one of the best films I've watched these past years; the music fitted perfectly to the scences, the acting was great; I just loved it! There was maybe one scene at the end that I thought a bit unnecessary but other than that it was absolutely wonderful!
The film's about two brothers who've got to complete an order and how this affects them.
10/10
It's a great book...and the movie wasn't bad as far as accuracy goes...not that that makes any difference but still, I thought I would mention it. :DQuote:

There were some truly hilarious scenes in this movie and most of them involved blood and gore. The ending was a little unsatisfying but the journey was well worth the time.
I also watched Mansfield Place, a very predictable but enjoyable movie.

i'd give it a solid 6/10
Vera Cruz, a 1954 western with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster, and Will Penny, a 1968 western with Charlton Heston and Joan Hackett. Both excellent films-10/10 each.

Sex and the City: The Movie
Today I could have done laundry or changed the sheets or vacuumed the rug, or lined my garden with the stones I pulled out of a Smoky Mountain creek on Saturday. Instead, I went to see the new Sex and The City Movie.
I was a fan of the series. I started watching it while I was still in college, and I loved the way Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and of course, Samantha, lived their lives. They were modern, independent, sophisticated, successful professional women who achieved it all without being dependent upon a man, and at the time, as a young 20-something, I liked that idea.
I liked that these characters were four, adult women who maintained adult friendships. Actually, I still like the idea of adult women who are true friends to each other. Most of all, I liked how kick-as.s these women were. Sure, they wanted to find/have a good relationship with a man, but their main goal in life was not to have the storybook wedding (well, except for Charlotte, but she was always the geeked out girl on the series). Instead, they had established their own identities and were functioning in the world with their own careers and paying their own bills (and that does include Charlotte). Any man they dated had to be good enough, and they weren’t settling because they didn’t have to.
Today, I went into that theater, and the series characters had been replaced by squealing, teenaged-acting forty-something-year old women dressed in hideous clothing, and ridiculous, overpriced shoes and I wondered why I ever thought these characters were so great. I swear, those ladies must have squealed 10 times throughout this 2 hour and 15 minute movie. It was like a John Hughes movie gone horribly awry – there was too much cheese and too many sappy music moments.
As I watched the movie, I couldn’t help but wonder (sorry, I couldn’t resist) what I ever thought was so great about Carrie Bradshaw, who has a closet full of shoes that she can’t afford and a maxed out credit card – is that someone to look up to? Then again, she was sort of a successful columnist who had been published, so I guess I can overlook the irresponsibility of the shoes. Still, the end of the story is that 3 of the 4 women end up married. The series wasn't about single, fabulous independent women - it was about women who took a long time to get married. The series/movie doesn’t totally sugarcoat marriage, as we do get to see Charlotte and Miranda deal with real marital conflicts (Charlotte in the series and Miranda in the movie) but in the end, the main character, Carrie Bradshaw finally gets her Prince Charming, and that’s the end. And she lived happily ever after. Great.
It's still light out. I could put those stones down in the garden. The stones are rounded, which means they've been underwater a really long time.
"Kung Fu Panda" - have some fun. Good popcorn and soda movie.
I saw this movie and loved it so much I went out and got the book to read. I just saw it in the coming soon rack at the video shop here in Australia. It gets a :thumbs_up from me.Quote:

Saw the recent version of "Hairspray". It was pretty cute, and Nikki Blonsky was just adorable. I thought I'd be more put-off by John Travolta's performance as Edna Turnblad, but he managed quite well.

The Brothers Karamazov with Yul Brynner, Maria Schell, Claire Bloom, Lee J. Cobb, William Shatner, Albert Salmi and Richard Basehart. Released in 1958, it is superb-10/10!

Blade Runner - 3.75/5
I saw the Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton.
9/10
Based off of Iron man and the Incredible Hulk, if this is what the rest of the Avenger Series is going to be like...oh my god. I'm totally ready for it! :)
papayahed, I just love "Blade Runner". I have seen it several times in my life, first with my son, years back. I am surprised you did not rate it higher. It is a classic sci-fi-noir film - quite unique, with strong performances. The sound-track is extraordinary and I own a copy on CD - Vangelis is great! It fit the mood of the film perfectly. I loved the scene when the white haired man died and the doves flew up. It is such a classic. Which ending did you see? You know there are two.Quote:

It felt as if there were so many plot holes in this film that for a moment I thought I had a bad copy. But no, it's just one of those films in which things are left incomplete...

The Queen (2006)
Well done, Helen Mirren was excellent for the role.
papayahed, I saw that one, also. To be honest with you, I can't recall the other ending, but I just am aware there are two. I don't think they are that much different, but may impart an altered conclusion. Not sure; I can't recall now. You could probably find out more about it, by reading reviews on Amazon. I think they mention it on there.Quote:

Me too. And I just cringed when I saw Rudy Giuliani trying to act.:sick:Quote:

If you're a fan of that film or Todd Solondz's movies (especially "Happiness" and "Storytelling"), you'll enjoy "Your Friends and Neighbors". Not for the easily offended! :)
If you feel that you are part of the counter-culture and find fault esp. with the U.S. mega-business system, then definitely rent and research "What Would Jesus Buy?" produced by the producer of "Supersize Me." Walmart and Disney don't want you to see this documentary. Also related to that Walmart movie: "The High Cost of Low Price." Both emphasize the work conditions overseas that the public needs to be shamed into taking action. Sadly, it looks like "What Would Jesus Buy?" has only done a couple hundred thousand dollars of business; quite a tribute to the gag order that big business has on it. See it for its revolutionary message, plus its very entertaining.
Elizabeth I - the HBO miniseries starring Helen Mirren, Jeremy Irons, Hugh Dancy.
I have a weakness for monarch movies, especially set in England. I did like this very much. I thought Helen Mirren's performance was one of her greatest. How can she get any better? Her sudden changes in mood and facial expression, and her command of this difficult performance, was so natural and so believable. I do think she was the best Elizabeth I so far, and the closest to the actual historical figure. The first part of the movie kind of lagged I thought, but the second part was stupendous. I really liked all portrayals of the men in her life, none of whom she was able to marry, although she loved them. I felt so much for the woman that was Elizabeth. She was a great ruler and could hold her ground in her all male council. She was quite witty and funny at times; and when need be, she could command and the results of that were indeed sometimes quite barabaric (punishments), although not many executions actually did take place during her rule or so the extra featurette proclaimed. The ones that did did seem cruel, although she showed some reluctance to enforce some of those, but that is what it took to be a real queen in those difficult times. Below all this, she did possess a loving woman's heart and I loved the line in the film "The hardest thing to govern is the heart". The ending will tear you up inside. This film, is not for the weak at heart. The actual carrying out of some pretty graphic and cruel punishment is shown blantantly on the screen. I was surprised at that. I had to look away a few times, but it was not too excessive, and it was scattered; but it was quite gory and blantant.
I watched all the extras and enjoyed them very much. I love to see just how films are conceived and where the sets are built. The costume design in this film is sumptuous and lavish. I really enjoyed that part of the film and all the visuals, although the sets are not so expansive, but still they do portray as much as is needed. The merits of this film lie in the great, great performances of all the actors. For 211 minutes, I was truly mesmorized with Helen's performance. She is one of my favorite actresses; one of the finest out there. Some said that Irons looked too old for the part, but I think his looks were appropriate, since they were both suppose to be older in age when this film begins. I think also, at that time people looked older than they do today - life was tougher back then. Personally, liked Iron's performance very much. I also likewise, loved Hugh Dancy's performance. He really exuded the youthful qualities that his character required - he was impulsive, adorable, headstrong, playful, sexy and reckless - he was quite the appealing. One could see how Elizabeth was so taken by him, even though she let her heart go past her good sense at times, with this new 'boy toy' in her later aging life. Their relationship was complex and I liked that. One kept wondering, just what were the true motives behind Hugh Dancy's amazing blue eyes.
All in all I liked the film and would probably watch it again sometime, although I did feel it was slow-paced at first and picked up in the second half. The merits don't particularly rest on the plot, since most of the first part, I knew from other films and general knowledge. The second part was not at all familar to me, so that might be why I found it more interesting and captivating.
If you notice, Antiquarian, I edited my post when you were posting. I saw lots of mistakes in my text. Anyway, yes do see it, Antiquarian and tell me what you think. I was so lucky to have it come in my library. I snatched that one quickly off the shelf. To see Helen Mirren in anything intrigues me. I think you will like it very much; but as I said the second half is a bit more active or intriguing, at least it was to me. I love the Cate Blanchett versions but now I can see that some of that is quite contrived, although there were many attempts on Elizabeth's life. The biggest falsity was the way they portrayed the King of France in the first film starring CB. He was shown as a babbling idiot and also gay I believe or bisexual. That part was a bit strange and apparently not at all true to history. In this film he is show more true to life or so the historican who spoke on the Featurette of the history stated. I would believe him over Hollywood.Quote:

That is a good strong cast! You can't go wrong with an Oscar Wilde adaptation and play. Have you read both plays yet? I love them both and also "Lady Windemere's Fan" - not sure I spelled her name correctly; too lazy now to look it up.
I just watched 'Under the Tuscan Sun' today. I loved it! I'm not a big fan of Diane Lane, but I think she did a great job in the movie. It's hilarious at times and sad at times. I think it's a very good movie. 10/10
It is worth it just to see her performance. I just adore her - she carries it off so well for an older woman. She really has 'class' I think.Quote:

I have both "The Importance of Being Earnest" and "An Ideal Husband." I don't think I have the best adaptation of "Earnest" as I have the film version with Reese Witherspoon and I thought she was miscast in her role. I have seen and read the plays, though and just love them.
I think the movie the made from that story had a different name - I believe it starred Helen Hunt. But my memory is vague on that one. Also been awhile.Quote:
you spelled "Lady Windemere's Fan" correctly unless we're both misspelling it. LOL I agree. I love that one, too.
The sound neat; did the BBC put them out?Quote:
There's a boxed set of Wilde's plays available at Amazon right now.
Oh, well those sets are costly usually. I put them into my 'Wishlist' often just to dream. I have about 8 pages now in my WL.Quote:
It's a bit costly for me at the time as I've bought more books than I should, am enrolled in a writing workshop, and my husband just bought me a "real" wedding ring. (We were rather poor when we got married and we had very inexpensive rings - well cheap ones, truthfully. LOL) So, I feel I shouldn't indulge my love for Wilde right now, though I'd love to. I did put the boxed set on my Wish List in case I hit the lottery or Publisher's Clearing House comes knocking at my door. ;)
That is wonderful. I bet that was a surprise. How sweet of him; he doesn't want you getting away.;) I didn't even have an engagement ring; and my wedding band was just plain and so cheap. Well, the marriage did not last, so who cares.
Oh, now my husband wants to watch "Where Angels Fear to Tread," probably because of Helena Bonham Carter, but I want to see that one, too, so either is fine with me. Maybe we can work in both as he doesn't have to be at work until three in the afternoon tomorrow.[/QUOTE]Quote:
Maybe next month, or later this summer I'll get ahead.
I checked that out last night to buy it, and realised I saw that film before. I had forgotten, but the synopsis brought it back to me. I really did like it, but decided not to buy it, not just yet. If your hubby likes HB Carter, I have two films in-mind he might like, but can't think of the titles right now. It is thundering, so actually, I came up to unplug the computer. I always have to check threads/responses first.;) We may have storms all night - in which case I won't be online.
The last movie I saw was "Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull," which I thought was pretty good. I would rate it 8/10 (is that how you do it?), especially considering I saw the very first one at the movie theater when it was first released. It was fantastic, the epitome of the summer movie. And since this is the fourth one in the installment, I thought Spielberg (or whoever wrote it) did a pretty good job with the script-it is almost impossible to meld something fresh with something familiar, but I thought they pulled that off fairly well. I went with my 18 year old son who just graduated from high school, and I was just so happy that he wanted to do something with me, that I would have probably gone to see just about anything, so this was a happy surprise.
I watched "Juno" a few weeks ago; it was adorable. 10/10. Clever, clever script. What a refreshing change from the drivel that passes for entertainment these days.
I've seen both versions of "The Importance of Being Ernest", by the way; I liked them both, but I would recommend the earlier version, with Michael Redgrave (sp?). I think it was a teensy bit better. I actually thought Reese did a pretty good job, although she brings such a modern sensibility to her work that I think it's hard to see past that, sometimes. Antiquarian and Janine, did you like her as Becky Sharp?
I adore "The Ideal Husband," by the way; maybe it's time to watch that one again.
I am currently watching Untraceable and without seeing the ending, I am going to give it a quick and maybe too generous 8/10 because it's got my late night brain thinking about how our activities on the internet might have repercussions in the real world. We think we're just online and somehow that fact makes our interactions with our online friends and foes a little less significan, but this movie makes me think otherwise....
Or maybe I am just getting sucked into this silly little drama.
An internet killer murders his (or hers I guess...though I'm thinking it's a male) victims over the internet and the more people log onto his website, the faster people die.
The movie shows the cyber cop on the case trying to hone in on where this killer is (because we're all traceable online you know, and the right people can pinpoint where we are and who we are in seconds), but she can't because this guy has major Interweb kung fu, and the drama unfolds...
Don't I know it! I don't think I have ever seen her give a bad performance. She was in the film I watched tonight and she was stellar and so real. The film I had seen before, called "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" based on the Tennessee Williams novel. I understand there was an earlier version starring Natalie Wood, but I have never seen that one. I guess this is Helen Mirren week for me.Quote:

That is "The Importance of Being Earnest" with Reese Witherspoon, Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Dame Judi Dench. I like it, but Reese just seems out of place to me.
I will have to check it out. I don't own any of those films. That would be just great to own, eventually....another item for my long Wishlist! ;) :lol:Quote:
Yes, BBC did put out the Oscar Wilde set, Janine, and it's not costly like I thought it was. I had to be confused with something else. It's $23.99 and you get: "The Importance of Being Earnest," "The Picture of Dorian Gray," "An Ideal Husband," and "Lady Windermere's Fan." But I won't get them now. Maybe later.
I keep things there just to refer to them sometimes - to know they are in existence. I had wanted this one Lawrence book and now it is over 100 dollars - may even be 200. It is the last one in the Cambridge series of new biographies - called "The Dying Game". I have to laugh at my futility keeping it in my list. It would be a miracle if it ever came down in price.Quote:
I know. LOL I have this huge Wish List, too. LOL Some of the stuff I'll never buy, though.
Well, quite honestly, I told my finance I didn't care about an engagement ring. I was a fool, I guess; but I knew we didn't have the money when we were young. Back then in the 70's we were near hippies and it seemed frivolous to me. I still think some are way over-priced. My son spend a near fortune on his wife's huge diamond. He had it made up, also. Her wedding band is quite impressive, too. I don't think I would want to wear something that expensive, not at my age; but hey, to each his own. I have other nice rings I have collected over the years and wear those often. I do want to see photos of yours though; that is quite exciting. My son's ring was designed and is very nice; suits him well. Her two rings are lovely.Quote:
I didn't have an engagement ring, either. Not the second time. And I had a very inexpensive wedding band and a very simple ceremony, but it was lovely because of the beautiful weather and the lovely words spoken by the man who married us.
Best way to do it - have it made up at the jewelers. I can't wait to see it. Sounds gorgeous and you have pretty hands to put it on. Your husband sounds sweet and very caring.Quote:
These rings are gorgeous, though. I'll have to show you a photo of them when I actually get them. They have to be made. We went to the jewelry store and picked out what we wanted, though. My husband said, "Well, that's the most money I've ever spent on any one thing in my life." (He's never bought a car. Not yet, but he takes his driver's test next week, so maybe soon.)
I do recall that film because I recall that Helene and Judy or Rupert, go off to try and rescue Helen in Tuscany. Wasn't she their cousin or some relative? I love Judy Davis in a number of films. She is a fine actress.Quote:
I liked "Where Angels Fear to Tread," Janine, and there's no doubt the cinematography of the Tuscan landscape was gorgeous. Helen Mirren was fantastic in the film, as always. I thought everyone did a good job. And Judy Davis from "A Passage to India" was in it as well. I need to rewatch that one. I'd give it 9/10, maybe 9.5/10. I love all the film adaptations of Forster's books.
No, the plot I am thinking of is what I wrote above.Quote:
Could you be thinking of "A Room With a View" and "The Wings of the Dove?" HBC is in both of those.
I agree and I had the same feelings about her in English films. I adored her film when she was just a very young girl - something about the moon, can't recall the name now; I will look it up. I loved her in "Walk the Line" - was she in "Coal Miner's Daughter"? I have only seen an older version of that film, with Cissy Spacak (sp?) Yes, she was good in "Sweet Home Alabama". She was cute in one about a woman who dies and appears to her boyfriend - forget the name of that now, too; it is late. Something with 'Heaven' in it.Quote:
The problem for me with Reese in these British movies is that I see her as the “quintessential American girl” and so for me, she just doesn’t “work” in a British film. I didn’t like her as Becky Sharpe for that reason, though I think she’s a good actress. I prefer her in American comedies, like “Sweet Home Alabama,” thought she did a great job in “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”
I thought of the Helene Boheme Carter film title - one of them "A Merry War" - it is fashioned after Orwell and his wife from Orwell's book, called "Keep the Aspidistra Flying". I got such a kick out of that film - very sweet. The other film stars Paul Betany as her sister's husband whom Helene has an affair with. That is a very interesting and intense film. She plays Dina in the film. I wish I could recall the name. I really liked it.
I've been killing time at work, so I just watched "Rashomon" on my computer. What an excellent movie! I haven't seen a Kurosawa film yet that I didn't like. The best part, though, is knowing that I was getting paid to watch it! hahaha
A very good book. Here is the review I wrote for it:Quote:

Antiquarian, You might be right; now that I think of it. I was researching Natalie Wood films for my sister, but I also researched some of Vivien Leigh's, for a friend. I will have to check my Wishlist for the details; they do look something alike.Quote:

I liked this film; my library got it in and I saw it before; I love films set in England by the seaside. I thought it was sweet and touching. Judy Dench really pulled off her character. I think her sister or friend is played by Vanesa Redgrave. Of course she is great, too.Quote:
Oh, I’ve been meaning to watch “Ladies in Lavender.” LOL I adore Judi Dench.
I didn't have time yet to check them out, but I will. I love them so much; at least I can place this into my 'Wishlist' for now.Quote:
I love those Oscar Wilde plays and they aren’t nearly as expensive as I had thought they were. You can find them here:
http://www.amazon.com/Collection-Imp...3907720&sr=1-1
I do the same thing, Antiquarian. The Lawrence books are abundant and expensive; that is why, once I said in a thread that Lawrence had not lost his popularity or following; I think I commented to something Virgil said - that his popularity had dropped off. Virgil and I don't always agree and usually we end up :lol: about the fact.;)Quote:
I sometimes keep things on my Wish List to remind me I want to read them someday. LOL So many of Lawrence’s books are just terribly expensive. I wish someone would put out an affordable collection of all his stories, like with Faulkner and others.
I was just watching a film about movie scores/composers. You would have liked it. It was so interesting and showed many excerpts from films. One was the "Women in Love" film I own. Now it made me want to see it again. It stars Alan Bates, Glenda Jackson, and Oliver Reed; I think it came out in the early 80's. It is close to L's book but some liberties were made; still I adore the film. It was directed by Ken Burns who did the "Lady Chatterly" film you own. I like his films.
Yes, such a shame you can't get the complete set of the short stories. They have so many new books coming out of Cambridge - perhaps they will put together one soon. Till then I have to make due with my shabby old books - the ones in set of three. One is completely loosing it's pages.
I did too. I just recall that the character Helene plays is kind of mad and in an annoying state since she is angry with her cousin who stays in Tuscany; funny that is how I recalled the film.Quote:
Yes, that’s the one. I loved the cinematography of the Tuscan countryside and the old Italian villages. Very beautiful. It’s a very sad movie, though.
Oh this movie score film I just saw it showed her in the film "Carie" - did you ever see it? It looked really good. I don't recall seeing it, but maybe I just did not remember.Quote:
Oh, you’re exactly right. I’m wrong. It was Sissy Spacek in “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Reese was in “Walk the Line.” I always get those movies mixed up for some reason. I think you’re thinking of “Just Like Heaven,” but I haven’t seen that one.
Those two films about singers are easy to mixup; they both involve Nashville. I love both of those films.
That is the one "Just Like Heaven" with Mark Ruffalo. I liked it; it was entertaining and cute, and funny.
I own a "A Merry War". It is on tape. It also stars the actor who directed 'Wah-Wah'; I reviewed that film awhile back. I am so blank right now - tired; I had to take a pill tonight; it sometimes makes me forget detailed things (side-effect). Anyway, he plays the character representing Orwell, himself. He works in an ad agency, Helene character is that of a commercial artist. He finally quits his job impulsively, thinking he can survive by just writing poetry. It is pretty funny at times; but oh so truth.Quote:
I never saw either of those. I’ll have to look them up.
The last movie I saw was The Water Horse for a one of those family movie night thingys that parents like to do. I would probably give it an 8 and a half or 9. It was pretty good
The last two movies I saw were M and Metropolis,both directed by Fritz Lang. It was my second time watching M and only the first time I saw Metropolis - and I must say,I liked it even more than M,which is,if I'm not mistaken,considered Lang's finest work. I give Metropolis 8.5/10,truly a great movie.
I also watched Mulholland Drive by Lynch for the second time,and now I'm even more confused than before,although the point of watching it for the second time was to clarify some things :D
All About Eve, the archly cynical 1950 look backstage at Broadway. Superb-just like another 1950 film, Sunset Boulevard, which cast a wry eye on Hollywood itself. No doubt about it-10/10.
