However, I must admit that despite Stewart playing an "average Joe" sort of fellow in Hitchcock's films, he really transformed himself in Vertigo after Spoiler: show I must see more of Hitchcock's films...next on my list is Dial M for Murder, Rope, and North by Northwest - though I can't stand Cary Grant.

I'm not very fond of Cary Grant myself. He's too much on the cool side without being at the same time on the dark side like other actors like Mitchum, for example. I find him very uninteresting and clumsy in his coolness. But some of his movies are ok. Ratatouille was nice, especially considering the standards of more recent cartoons. But I don't get why animals have to be so silly to be noticed: they have to dance or sing orinvent things or cook to be interesting. Just for once couldn't they be simply... animals? I surely find hard to think of a dancing penguin or rat handling a colander as a cute creature |

I recently saw "Dial M for Murder" and "Torn Curtain." The first was a great film and I would actually say I love it...if only the ending wasn't so terrible. I don't know what to say...was Hitchcock trying to condone adultery? I was hoping Tony would get away with it. He started off as the antagonist but somehow became the protagonist and I found myself rooting for him than his wife, Margot, and Mark. How I hate Mark so. "Torn Curtain" was a terrible film. Julie Andrews does not fit the clingy, needy, wishy-washy sort of characters and yet, she's exactly that in her role. It was almost unbearable watching her because her character is so stupid and a stereotypical female. Paul Newman's character is an utter moron. Why propose if you're going undercover? Did he not think that his fiance would want to follow him considering how needy she is? Also, many of his behaviors and mannerisms are utterly dumb. Why don't we keep staring at the chalkboard and make it obvious that we're trying to memorize all the forumlas to report back to the US? Oh wait, that's right, the German activists are supposed to save our as$es because we're Americans, almost forgot. The one scene in the farmhouse was also so prolonged that it became laughable and cringeworthy. I was hoping this film would've been good but it really disappointed me.

This is definitely the time for movies here in the U.S. Saw Beowulf yesterday, a fun, "festive" little romp for the viewing public And am going to the new Coen brothers movie this morning, which is getting raves all over, should be very fun. For us Stephen King fans there is Mist, which i will likely see during the week or next weekend. Highly recommend the current movies showing here they are good, even had a blast at Fred Claus, very good cast and fun show! The previews for the new Tim Burton movie with Johnny Depp look like they will be very good, im a big Burton/Depp fan.......... Oh and hi to everybody .........

Ok, obviously went to the depp burton movie, aka sweeney todd, its a good flick though not overwhelming. Ive been to several since this thread last posted, but thought id mention Enchantment, best movie labeled as just a "Disney" movie ive seen in some time, although i also highly recommend Disney/Pixars Ratouille that came out this summer. Saw I am Legend, and was unimpressed pretty much in general, just take my word for it, lol, i saw the movie its based on and think even it was better than this will smith flick. Also saw Charlie Wilsons War and Juno yesterday, both highly recommended. Both comical and yet so down to earth as to the reality of what goes on in this ole world .....

Last movie was Stranger than fiction on DVD. It reminded me some other movie, but now I can't say which one. It was ok, funny and with its strong points, with some very clever parts.
Another good one was Oliver Twist by Polanski. Couldn't go to watch it wehn it was released, so I bought the DVD. It's a bit "softer" than the book, less gruesome, more sympathethic towards a few negative characters. But it's a good adaptation, I think. I also watched The Prestige on DVD. Nolan really baffles me. I hated Memento because despite its great potential it was a mess of a movie with awful acting. The Prestige was better, also thanks to better actors, but the sci-fi elements were cheap and sort of misplaced. Anyway, I liked it. |
