"The Guns of Navarone" and "The Towering Inferno" I saw both movies for the first time and found both of them to be very enjoyable.

Had a date night with Missus H and saw Knight and Day. Lotsa grinning, lotsa death, lotsa what feels like improvised lines. Not really a story line to speak of, just lotsa boomboomboom. Missus liked it, I thought it was okay.

An Education - great acting by the leads, but the movie did not live up to the hype. It was just good.

Cinderella Man - yesterday on television. I enjoyed it very much, production design, wardrobe, wowo... and alllll those hats man!.. made me dizzy, wonderful, just wonderful! Moving story, superb feelgood-factor.

Hi

I watched Mullholland Falls, a hat movie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117107/

I usually like Nick Nolte in movies, he's gives "crusty old fart" a whole new meaning.

Mullholland Falls was the inspiration for me to go and buy my first hat - a Stetson Temple about the time the film came out for rental.

Goldfinger - for umpteenth time

 

[John in Covina]

Goldfinger - for umpteenth time

JB: Do you want me to talk, Goldfinger?
GF: No Mr. Bond I want you to die!

Operation Grandslam.

Who doesn't love the grandma shooting the Schmeisser at Bond in the Aston Martin?

 

[swinggal]

Indeed. I just happened across is channel surfing.

PG: My name is Pussy Galore.
JB: I must be dreaming.

Re: Goldfinger, why does he gather all the crime bosses, explain to them his plan, then kill them afterwards? If he was going to bump them off, why spend the time on his heist scheme? If he was bragging, then there was really going to be no one around to admire him.

He was a megalomaniac. Normal (to us) social interactions can't be applied. Even though he was going to kill them he still wanted their approval, wanted them to be awed by his plan. Also, he led them to believe he was going to steal the gold and pay them for their investment in that enterprise. But with theft not his actual plan, pay them from his own pocket? Leave them to point to him later? Nope. Kill'em all.

Just watched a flick called Sunshine. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448134/

Highly recommend it to any SciFi fans out there.

 

[swinggal]

Ah yes. Sci Fi.

This 'Sunshine' is very good. Starring Raph Fiennes and about one Hungarian/Jewish family throughout the 20th century.

I love that Sunshine.

The Invention of Lying is terrible. It's not funny, and even though it's easy to be forgiving of plot holes in a comedy, the ones in this movie are so big that it's hard to believe it was ever made.

Three Came Home - 1950

 

[Cricket]

Finished Shutter Island and The Road. Great movies!

Loved the feel, look and twists to Shutter Island.

Loved the thinking and emotions with The Road. My husband read the McCarthy book and his exact words were: "I wonder how they are going to put that to film. The book was great but I am curious how they are going to pull it off."
By the end of the film, we just sat in silence for moment. His reply: "Dang, they pulled it off."

 

[Lefty]

^ Same thoughts on The Road. It's hard to imagine the bleakness translating to the screen until you see it.

 

[pimple]

nothing classic, but toy story 3 in 3D.
pretty neat...

On a more mundane level, it's also a nice expositionary device so the audience know what Auric is planning....

Well, yea, that too.

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)

Oh, how I love this movie. It makes anything those Coen brother punks make look ridiculously redundant and watered down.
