Just back from Hot Tub Time Machine. It was intensely stupid, but also hilarious, as one would expect from the title. Did we know Christophe Beck was scoring this?

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.

Has anyone here seen The Class? It was one of our movies this week. I absolutely loved it.
Also saw The Appeared and The Soloist. Both were ok, however one got better, the other...did not. I will leave you to ponder which is which.

It is French and it is divine.

Oh okay, I've seen that (and liked it very much). The teacher is basically playing himself--he's a former teacher and the movie is based on his novel.

Hey. New board.
I found it rather painful, especially when my dad, afterwards, said "I hope your students act better than that!" to which I could only reply: "Oh, mine are WAY worse."
It may have been part of my decision to leave urban public schools.
It was a good movie, though.

The Class is by Laurent Cantet, and it is indeed an amazing movie. Cantet's one of the best working today.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to watch I pugni in tasca (Fists in the Pocket) in preparation for Bellocchio's Vincere tomorrow, but I just can't get into it.
