Pasolini's Trilogy of Life
The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales were good and Arabian Nights is definitely among Pasolini's best with Theorem, Salo and Accattone. Each of the films look at sex from a different angle and as always Pasolini is very respectful of the original works that inspired him. After this Salo seems like an even more intelligent film than before, I must watch it again. There are stil a few of his films, mostly the documentaries and Medea, that I haven't seen but anybody interested in literature should watch Pasolini's work.
"And the worms, they will climb
The rugged ladder of your spine"
Actually, that is a line that I have been quoting quite often since I saw it.I heard someone say that it is the funniest movie of the year, but I have seen better. Of course it is all just a matter of opinion.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age - 8/10
It was good. Just not as good as the first.
About Schmidt - 9/10
I liked it.![]()
My movie is anonymous,many apologies.
Last movie in theater- Dark Knight. 8.5 /10. Thought it deserved a 9.5 at first but after a couple of weeks from seeing it, realized that I would still rather watch Spiderman 1 and 2 again than the Dark Knight. Not that that makes it bad, it's still a fantastic movie but I am still a bigger fan of the spidey superhero movies.
On Tv- no reservations. 6/10. nice little flick.
Singing Frog > World
Wanted 3/10. I wanted to see a great action movie and what I got was a dud - well that is the luck of the draw.
Motorpsycho 8/10
Not quite as good as Russ Meyer's masterpiece, "Faster, Pusscat! Kill! Kill!" but still highly influential and fun.
"And the worms, they will climb
The rugged ladder of your spine"
Watched Juno couple of nights ago and loved it.

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
I watched Iron Man a few nights ago. It wasn't bad. As far as summer action movies go, it wasn't as good as Dark Knight, but was better than Hancock.
Somewhere along the way, Robert Downey Jr. has become one of my favorite actors currently working.
ET - 9.5/10. Still a darn good movie!!!

A little annoyed that I missed "North by Northwest"... I started to think about movies I watched as a child... I remember watching a movie (B&W?) about a girl who becomes a spy and marries someone in order to get him arrested but the husband and his mother (?) realise that and start poisoning her. There was another spy guy with whom she was in love, I think?
Can anyone help me remember this movie's title? I am inclined to think it had Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman but it might be more of a wishful thinking!![]()
