What is the last movie you saw? and rate it.

Given the absolute rubbish that's foisted onto dumbed-down audiences these days, I'm not sure whether you are joking or not.

I love the book but didn’t like the movie and the actor who played Georges Duroy. I hope you are not including me in the category of ‘dumbed-down’ audience.

Do you watch vampire films?

[Snowqueen]

Usually I don’t watch such movies, but I confess I’ve seen a couple of vampire films with my friends. They love these movies specially Twilight films.

La Signora di Tutti (1934; Max Ophuls)

9/10

Wonderful film. More raw than Ophuls later work, but more daringly experimental and nakedly emotional too.

'Interlude' with Oskar Werner and Babara Ferris (1968) This British film concerns the extra-marital affair between a famous conductor and a young female reporter who is sent to interview him. Adulterous affairs are legion among conductors so the basic premise is acceptable but, as the title suggests, they tend not to last and usually end in painful break-up.
The theme is rather hackneyed and the performances not particularly good, although it does capture some of the desolate undertone's that such affairs are prone to. Given their messy and inevitably doomed conclusion, one would think that they are best avoided but it only goes to show that men can seldom resist a pretty face.
5/10

Brave.

This was a nice mother-daughter story without a single vampire in the entire movie. I liked her red hair.

Score: 10/10

Great film, that.

Today I watched Slander, a film made in 1957, based on the problem of scandal magazines that plagued America during the 1950s.
These magazines relied on the prurience of readers, whose mundane lives could only be enlivened by gossip about well-known people: much the same as so-called celebrity magazines do today; the difference being that, where literally anything goes in reporting the activities of 'celebrities' nowadays, back then public perception was more adult and civilised, and unacceptable behaviour was punished accordingly. In this case, a successful performer is blackmailed by the proprietor of a scandal magazine into giving information about a famous actress he grew up with.
As a morality tale it is quite good in style and Steve Cochran, who plays the villain of the piece, is worth watching if only for the exceedingly well-cut clothes he wears: I wish I had a dressing gown like that.

Watching the broadway show with Al Pacino in a few weeks in nyc.

Cannery Row, baed on two short Steinbeck novels, with Nick Nolte and Debra Winger (some of the plot is taken from Sweet Thursday) an older movie but still a delight. I'd give it 3 of 4 stars as a light-hearted comedy with poignant themes.

[qimissung]

I'm so glad you liked it. It's one of my favorite movies. It's actually "Cannery Row," and the author is Steinbeck, but the movie does star Nolte and Winger in two of their best roles, I think.

[Hawg Horse]

Gawd ... how far off ... how far. Thanx for the corrections.

A Separation (2011; Asghar Farhadi) -- 8/10

A well-deserved Best Foreign Film Oscar. It's refreshing to see a film where there's serious conflict but no clear protagonist/antagonist and the morality is so ambiguous.
