I've attempted to watch Django at least three times and each time I end up having sex instead.

lol, the first and only time I watched it I fell asleep around half way through it, as I was watching it in bed and it was late, or early morn. I still have it, but like amanda I dislike watching things twice, I might try and give it another watch if I have nothing to watch sometime.
 
The Butler.

It's a little too heavy-handed for its own good, but it's rescued by (just enough) humor and Whitaker's fine performance. Worth a watch. 3 1/2 out of 5.
 
I watched 'lovelace' about that 'deep throat' porn movie from back in the day. It was ok I thought, but then I saw two docos on the same thing, one called 'the real linda lovelace' and then 'deep throat' and I enjoyed them much more than the movie, as they had interviews with people who were actually there and they told stories and stuff, then I could see how they got alot of the ideas for the movie 'lovelace' and how pointless the movie was when these 2 docos that I had previously not seen had covered most of it anyway.
 
Hmmm, maybe i need to try watching Django.

I happened upon Suicide Kings on IFC while shoving my sub into my mouth. I love this movie.

It is the reason why I call those round vessels used for carrying water a "busket".

Just watch this movie last night It's called V/H/S which is a compilation of short horror films. I'd give a 3 stars our of 5 as I have somewhat enjoyed the movie but the stories could have been made much better IMO.
 
Don Jon. I'll copy and paste what I wrote on another site:

I really enjoyed it, and that's saying something for a rom-com, which is a leper-colony genre in my universe. Moore comes dangerously close to a MPDG, but her skill and just the right lines keep her straight. The film is a better drama than a comedy, but all parts of it work well enough to be well worth a view. And, maybe it's just me, but I felt a vague but unmistakable Guy Ritchie vibe in its style.

It hit a little close to home for me, but that's probably why I wanted to see it in the first place. Solid 4 out of 5.
 
Dead Poets Society


I thought it was pretty stupid. Boy meets girl for dinner, falls in love? Boy develops acting passion before ever being in a play?
 
For real, I like was WTF you pussy.

That's pretty much what was going through my head most of the film when I wasn't groaning.

glad to hear it. and your anna gif is wonderful. i drag and drop -- no right-clicking -- but it is now among the other thousands of french actress image files on my computer.

The Oh in Ohio

parker posey plays a character with a marketing career in a lot of movies. this one is like a really bland woody allen film.
 
And I'm just about to watch Vivra Sa Vie for the first time. Then Belle de Jour tomorrow.
 
Vivre sa vie is a great film that an intelligent person with good taste could easily dislike. i'm interested to hear what you think of it.

oh, and it has my single favorite shot in all of film. you've kinda seen part of that shot.

Vivre sa Vie is the third Godard film I've seen (Made in USA, Pierrot le Fou). It lacks the 'experimental' nature of the latter and the colorfulness of the former, but it makes up for it with it's subtle charm. Not the least of which comes from the lovely Anna Karina.

Godard's close-ups accentuate the simple contours of her face. Her restraint, at times, to not reveal much. And yet she gets so much expression out of that same simplicity, the way she plays with the camera is unlike any actress I've seen before. Truly Godard's muse.

Going back to the subtle nature of the film, there are self-referential moments in the film that Godard works in so wonderfully. The magazine story the girl reads in the record shop, the Joan of Arc film Nana goes to see (great shot, btw), the reading of Poe's The Oval Portrait. The last works on many levels, [SPOIL]foreshadowing her death while acting as an allegory for a woman's beauty becoming her ultimate demise.[/SPOIL]

The film carried a tinge of existentialist themes which I always enjoy (see: my love of Bergman) and I thought the silent/subtitled scene following the philosophical discussion on language and it's usefulness, or lack thereof, was ingenious.

I also loved the quick (inadvertent? nah.) Jules et Jim nod towards the end. A reminder I need to see more Truffant. The ending was abrupt yet somehow . . . oddly fitting.

Overall, as with other Godard films, it will take me several viewings to fully appreciate this one. For now, it has certainly left me satisfied and entertained. And it also left me wanting to see more jump cuts in films. God knows YouTube bloggers have already beaten that poor horse to death.

I've been making entirely too many gifs lately. Without a Tumblr as an excuse, no less!

yup.


Blue Jasmine

marisa tomei would have been so great for the brunette. she would be too pretty, but it's a movie. i guess my favorite actresses can't play every role, and whoever plays the girl instead does a good job. cate blanchett does a good job too. even though it's not quite the usual lose, explorative romance, it's still just another woody allen movie. slightly better than his average. there was something i found relatable about it. beyond the benzos and interest in chanel.
