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.
Black-and-white movie day!
The Night of the Hunter was creepy and suspenseful, but the second half was weaker than the first half. Still, good villain.
The Philadelphia Story was great! Cary Grant! Jimmy Stewart! Katharine Hepburn! Plus, Dinah was awesome.
Those are two of my faves, P-C! Love 'em both.
Philadelphia Story is AWESOME. Dinah is totally me. And the whole film is so quotable.
I could not sully my previous post with this, but we went to see Bad Lieutenant: Blah Blah tonight and it was SO BAD, y'all. Nick Cage would have been laughed out of freshman acting class, he was so bad. And the story veered between overheated melodrama and bad cliche cop action. I do not know where the good reviews came from.
Probably from the people who feel badly about Nic's financial situation.
Were I a critic I'd probably deal with that by advising people to go see Nic Cage movies, point and laugh at him, and remember to throw popcorn at the screen, not rotten fruit.
Wait, does the studio get royalties on popcorn sales?
I just watched Be Kind Rewind and loved it! So hilarious and full of heart.
From Time - Top 25 Horror Movies
Kinda' a broad definition of horror - Bambi made the list, and the #1 movie is Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat

Stupid.
I mean, I get that the point of such a list is to generate discussion or at least prompt some thought about what Horror is.
But Horror is not simply provoking a response of real life fear for personal safety (their #1), and it is not about tragedy and loss (Bambi).
So, I don't need another list that starts with Psycho and hits Halloween and stops at some recent decent horror flick (Let the Right One In or 28 Days). But if you're going to do a genre study you should have a freakin' clue about the genre.
