It's a fantastic, taut thriller and has one of the two greatest (that is, most emotionally satisfying) revenge scenes ever. Both of them written by the same screenwriter.

Not to mention one of the most horrifying torture scenes ever. The utter confusion of Hoffman's character at what's going on is amazing.

It also makes me wonder what the hell ever happened to Marthe Keller.

Anyone know anything about this movie? I really want to see it!

Sex Galaxy, which its makers call the world’s first “green” film, is also a blue movie. A feature-length mashup of copyright-free stock footage, the campy sci-fi comedy splices together strippers, Martians, rocket ships and robots into a semi-coherent romp.

[Deliverance] isn't remotely funny, but referencing it can be in the right (or VERY wrong) context.

This.

Last Tango in Paris is an interesting historical piece. It's a good example of how daring a movie could get within the mainstream -- or at least close enough to land a mainstream star lead like Marlon Brando -- during the early '70s.

I saw Marathon Man when it came to my college campus, a few years after its original release. I walked out about halfway through -- just about the only time I've ever done that to a movie.

Stepping in to back Hec up.

I gave up on Tango after they started naming themselves with grunts.

I was all primed for the historical experience of Last Tango. Instead, I kept tilting my head in that 'wtf' movement championed by dogs with an ear infection. I kept waiting for the cool to kick in. Never happened and I felt cheated of the time.

Saw Twilight last night. It was much more dreary than I expected. And, while I like Robert Pattison, I was surprised at how distracting his facial contractions were.

At the same time, I can totally see how I would have been an obsessed Twilighter as a teen. So dramatic. So oppressed by love. Yep. That woulda been me.

having never seen the movie myself, all I have to say is:

WTF?

We just watched The Maltese Falcon. Both of us had seen parts of it before, but not the whole. Very good movie. I loved that they didn't pull any punches with the character of Sam Spade. And there's a moment where Bogart looks more terrifying than anyone I've ever seen on film.

Next up, Let The Right On In. Since we both received it from Netflix this week (time to coordinate the queues again).

Love Maltese Falcon. That's some hard boiled right there.

I'm a Marlowe girl myself, but, yeah.
