Sahara: Humphrey Bogart.
great flick. In the dvd collection, my wife has her Sahara (with Matthew McConaghey) and I have mine (with Bogie)
Sahara: Humphrey Bogart.
Last night I sat and watched '10 Rillington Place'.
He's getting a good education
Tales From Earthsea, directed by Hayao Miyazaki's son Goro.
Alas, from an animation and storytelling perspective, he's nowhere near the master that his father is!
And as an adapation of Ursula Le Guin's wonderful Earthsea books (primarily the third and fourth novels, The Farthest Shore and Tehanu, with some plot points dragged in from the two earlier ones), it was terrible. Not as bad as the godawful live-action Legend of Earthsea miniseries from a few years ago - it did envision some aspects of Earthsea correctly - but the story made no sense if you were unfamiliar with the characters. Like the earlier adaptation, it just came at the story all wrong, and missed most of what makes the Earthsea books (especially the initial trilogy) such an intelligent and compelling fantasy classic.
Not recommended. Read A Wizard of Earthsea instead, it's much more rewarding!

Super 8 at the flicks. Old school Spielbergian summer blockbuster!
Hard to beat the originals ain't it.great flick. In the dvd collection, my wife has her Sahara (with Matthew McConaghey) and I have mine (with Bogie)
Thin man movies are fun! One thing that always comes to mind when I think of those flicks is that...nearly every scene with Nick and Nora...they always have a drink in their hand. Lol!With the Mr. last night: watched the tail end of the second Thin Man film, and the first part of the third one in the series.
