I enjoyed the first Stepford Wives, particularly the downbeat ending.

most of the jmfcsts (the jmfcst, wife, two oldest kids) enjoyed A Streetcar Named Desire (1951, w/ a young and buff Marlon Brando) last night...the kids are now used to having all the characters smoke in films prior to 1970.

the jmfcsts gave it four thumbs up!

You're probably thinking of the original then, not the stupid remake.

Extended version of Gettysburg which I had recored off TNT onto VHS back in 2007. It has commercials and between that and the extended length, it is six hours long. I started it at almost 10 PM last night and watched the whole thing.

The Lives of Others- a German film about a Stasi agent who becomes the guardian angel for an East German artist and dissident. A well written film which entertains and enlightens (like most foreign films).

Eclectic mix.  Excellent movies all. 

I watched Life is Beautiful last night.  The first half is bawdy and hilarious.  The second half is deeply depressing.  Overall, I can recommend it.  Watch it with a woman.

At the moment I'm watching A Time to Kill on ION Television.  It's a good flick as well.  Matthew McConaughey's character's wife is fresh and creamy.  Boing.  Sandra Bullock isn't bad either.  (yes, I said it.)  Samuel Jackson is spot-on perfect in his role.  Even Donald Sutherland and his boy do justice to their characters.  Very well cast, imho.

The Shore was shown on BBC4 a few hours ago and I watched it thinking that even if bad it'd only be half an hour wasted. And quite liked it; a basically sweet (but never cloying) little story that had a certain something and also some fantastic acting.

entertains and enlightens (like most foreign films). 

I take it that you have not been introduced to the tender mercies of Sex Lives Of The Potato Men.

Hud 5/5
 
Great movie, especially the writing and Paul Newman's performance (I would argue the best of his career)!  The film does a good job of delivering its message about the importance of integrity in a way that is neither contrived nor heavy-handed.  I think being shot in black-and-white adds to the film's effectiveness, I can't imagine it in color, for some reason.  Highly recommended.

Just finished watching "Mondays in the Sun."  It was a bit depressing.

Encounters at the End of the World by Herzog. Not a big fan of nature documentaries but parts of it were absolutely brilliant.

Suspicion by Hitchcock. Some pretty good parts, but overall not one of his best.

The Paradine Case, pretty far from Hitchcock at his greatest, but for whatever reason I'm sort of thinking the judge might be the single most fascinating villain/antagonist in any Hitchcock film I can think of right now. Well, there's Bruno from Strangers on a Train, but I'd say he's a bit overrated. Hitchcock's villains aren't anywhere near as tremendous as his heroes, I'd say.

Watched The Lorax last night.  Aw, man, we watched it a movie theater.  I was reminded of how much I hate going to the cinema.  I like watching movies, but I hate going to see them in a theater.  First, it says it starts at 5:10 PM, so we get there at 5:05 to get a good seat.  And we sit there ten minutes before anything happens.  Finally, at 5:15 the screen flickers and a defeaningly loud voice starts to sqwauk about Cinedyne or some such company in the speakers.  Really loud, and it remained loud for the next two hours.  But still the movie doesn't play.  We are treated to at least ten minutes of advertisements, some for popcorn and Pepsi products, but mostly for trashy pop movies that will be "coming to a theater near you" very soon.  Finally, maybe after we'd been seated patiently for about half an hour the movie starts.  To add insult to injury, this particular movie was a "3D" movie.  For the unitiated, it's where they charge you 12 dollars instead of 10 dollars to see the movie, and they give you a cheesy pair of plastic glasses that you have to wear, because if you don't, everything looks blurry.  How uncomfortable to sit there with glasses on during an entire movie.   It was my first experience with a "3D" movie and hopefully it will be my last.

Ah, well, the movie itself was good, with a decent prosocial message and the boy has been asking me for two weeks to take him to see The Lorax and I finally promised him that I'd take him if he had three good days at school.  And he did.  So I did.  I think it's only the second time in his life that I took him to a movie in a theater.  The first one was Alvin and the Chipmunks, about 3 years ago.  I take him to plays, concerts, museums, recitals, carnivals, haunted houses, and the like, but I have generally avoided taking him to cinemas because I don't like them.  I also bring him a DVD movie home about once a week, so he sees plenty of movies.  Still, once every three years is okay for me.

I'm never going to make any promises about any "3D" movies again.  That's for sure.

Saw this a long time ago. I don't remember a lot about it beyond the fact that it was really weird. May have to watch it again.

My lady friend and I saw The Artist. It was pretty good but I'm not sure why everyone loved it so much? It was obviously well-made and well-acted and all that, but the story was sort of mediocre and it was kind of boring at times.

Not sure it's the kind I'd watch again, to be honest. Tongue

It does include the smearing of a man with feces and the delicacy of glazed penis for dinner.
