The Last Movie You Watched

[Court Jester]

Seen it several times, but it's still a wonderful movie that I watch every month or so.

Sorority Surrogate

It was a Lifetime channel movie. I wasn't expecting much, and that's about what I got.

Currently rewatching Predator 2 for about the umpteenth time.

War Of The Buttons (1994)



A Nice Little Slice Of Life Movie, that shows the imagination and creativity of childhood. This movie also has a subtle commentary of the negatives of war and the prejudice of a class system.

Ghost in the Shell. (Live action version.) 2.573/π Anime fan-bois went made when they heard this was being done. Happily I didn't give a fuck about them. I thought it was an entertaining movie, but not insanely well done. 

And yes, I've seen the original and the sequel. I own the anime video.

They Look Like People

On Netflix. Very good; very creepy.

Here's something unusual:





I discovered the big conceit of this film a couple years ago, but I never actually found a copy of the film until I saw the DVD (long Out-of-print) at a flea market. If you've watched this, you might have figured it out: there is not a single word of dialogue in the whole film. No speech, no title cards representing the gist of what the characters are saying, so this relies even less on language than most actual silent era films. The closest thing we get to speech is a character screaming halfway through and the occasional shot of text that characters are reading. Well, that and repeated shots of the insistent ring of a telephone.

Overall, though it reeks of the "Dancing Bear" factor, especially since it's an experiment in silent film made by Hollywood 23 years after they had absolutely abandoned it, married to the film noir popular at the time, and with nuclear espionage as a crucial plot point for a film made while the Rosenbergs were waiting to be executed, it's certainly a fascinating little film. It still manages to tell its story pretty well. At any rate, it lacks the anti-communist speechifying omnipresent in films of this era and theme. Ray Milland turns in one of the best performances of his career (though it's not likely to top The Lost Weekend), and Herschel Burke Gilbert's wall-to-wall music score certainly enhances it all.

Michael Bolton's Big, Sexy Valentine's Day Special.

I had a good laugh.

I couldnt get over the way the main character stomped around everywhere. In a exaggerated chimp walk. Watch it again and think of that. Ruined the film for me.

See it here, stomping stomping always stomping.

I'm a fan of Film Noir so I have my DVR set to record the 1947 Noir movie , "Framed",  this morning with Glen Ford, Barry Sullivan, and Janis Carter.
