I didn't realize there were two!
Will have to find the silent verison. Thanks Lizzie.

Last films I watched:

La Dolce Vita - First time for seeing this classic.
The Circus - I've probably seen this film a dozen times
A Night at the Opera - Astonishingly, this was the first time I'd seen it, and I've seen just about all of the Marx Brothers films, especially the Paramount films.

Spellbound

My daughter and I went to go see G-Force (guinea pigs as secret agents - I know. How did this story ever get sold in Hollywood?) tonight. I was prepared to be disappointed, but it was actually pretty cute.

The Locked Room, with a brunette Barbara Stanwyck and an oily Rod LaRocque. Smooth cad Rod is shot by husband of Barbara, but Barb tries to take the rap for her otherwise noble spouse.

From 1929, its got that weird combo of actors emoting like it was still a silent film, and the rest actually acting. Barbara steals the show, only once or twice falling victim to the story's stage origins (stiff gesturing, clunky dialogue).

Set design by William Cameron Menzies, who delivers a gambling ship, a rogue's luscious digs, and the good guys' palatial abode, sometimes dwarfing the acting.

The Rains Came....

...with Myrna Loy and Tyrone Power. Good movie.

 

[Elaina]

The new Green Lantern cartoon. I made my kid watch it because I feel better saying "But he wanted to see it!" then admitting I did. Now I need to go hide my t-shirt with the ring logo.

 

[WH1]

After the Thin Man (1936)
William Powell, Myrna Loy and Jimmy Stewart, in a surprising role! Oh and most important, ASTA the wonder pooch.

I just watched "Welcome to Jack Taylor the Movie" about the suit maker to the starts and are own MK. It was very entertaining but I wish it had been a bit longer. You can find it on Netflix if I send it back that is.

 

[Antje]

Oliver Stones The Doors with Val Kilmer, outstanding acting by Kilmer as Jim Morrison.

It was on last night, but It was too late,
(I had to work this morning early)
so unfortionatly I didn't see the end,
I did like the movie for what I saw of it,

great acting, you really think it is Jim great

 

[SayCici]

Zorba the Greek! Some of it, anyway, and A Letter to Three Wives. Waiting for me at home is State of the Union, from Netflix.

 

[Shangas]

I was watching the film "Meteor: Path to Destruction" last night. Very very good!

 

[LizzieMaine]

Sitting in the projection booth watching "Cheri" for the thirteenth time. Michelle Pfeiffer does a fine job, and the Belle Epoque settings and costumes are suitably lush. But I have never seen, and will never see, what any intelligent woman could possibly see in a empty-headed puffball like Cheri. Get a haircut and a job, ya upper-class parasite.

Get a haircut and a job, ya upper-class parasite.

Hahahah, that really made me laugh.

The last movie I watched, well, rental wise was "M" and telly wise, "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House." While I have seen the latter quite a few times, that one scene regarding the paint colors never gets old. lol

As for the former, I had not seen it prior to, though I will say I enjoyed it quite thoroughly. One of my favorite scenes in that film would have to be where they first bring in Peter Lorre's character in for "judgement (in lacking of better words)," and they do that long shot of everyone just staring at him in complete silence.

just finished watching my well-word dvd of My Man Godfrey.

All is well with the world!

William Powell, Myrna Loy and Jimmy Stewart, in a surprising role! Oh and most important, ASTA the wonder pooch.

I just saw that this week, great movie! My wife and I bought the whole series and began working through them. I am now a Myrna Loy fan.

About a dozen of us die-hard fans watched It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World. We started the evening quoting our favorite parts, the way some folks do A Christmas Story.

At the intermission we made old-fashioneds, in homage to Tyler Fitzgerald.

MBBHDH is in my personal pantheon of films, classic or contempory. The scene where Lex Barker asks Mr. B if he wants the joists should be rabbited and Cary Grant's reaction never fails to crack me up.

I can't believe the way he just sailed out there!

Maybe he was a practical joker?

We're the ones in the Imperial and we're last?!

What could happen to an Old Fashioned?

They're gonna be stumblling over you in the dark!

How many people has he killed?
There'll be more!

You vandals!

Did you all hear what mamma said?!


I went to see this as a little kid with my brother when it came out and it's still one of my favorite films ever.

The Awful Truth

Last night I watched "The Awful Truth" 1937 with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. This is a film that was made 72 years ago and is still very funny. I bet not many people will be laughing at "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" in 2081. They just don't make movies the way they used to.
