A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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?

move out and draw fire
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 just saw Maltese Falcon a few months ago for the first time, as well! Excellent film. Lorre and Greenstreet are terrific in it, as is Mary Astor, and Bogart too, of course.
