What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

I just watched The Assassination Of Jessie James by the coward Robert Ford starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. This movie is a great character study movie and both stars do a great job. It is a slow moving movie but I was completely engrossed in these two characters relationship.

This film presents the story of these characters congruently. However, I do not know how accurate the story is.

Great movie- absolutely not what I was expecting going in, though. I think the pace of it is what gives it its edge. It makes you tense just watching it.

At the cinema: The Duchess

At home: Beyond the Sea

Miss Pettirew Lives For A Day

Marvelous. I agree with Lulu in NY, it isn't particularly deep, but it is fun. Of course now that I've seen the making of feature, I think I need to read the book!!

Streets of Fire. I love this movie. Who doesn't dig the pick-axe fight climax?

"The Fighting Seabees".
Wow. I really would like to know how that movie was received in the era in which it was made.

The love-triangle thing seems completely hokey and unbelievable to this viewers jaded eyes. Maybe things were more simple back then.

All-in-all, a typical, solid John Wayne flick...

The Forgotten The public library is great for free movie rentals.

I watched "The Strangers" on DVD last night. Its almost Halloween so I'm hitting the horror flicks pretty heavy. The movie was very good and created and maintained suspense throughout.

I just watched Citizen Kane on TCM's salute to RKO tonight. Fascinating character study. I'd seen it in pieces, but never straight through from the beginning.

Also in this past week:

TCM followed up a documentary on gangster films with a showing of The Public Enemy. I always enjoy a James Cagney movie, and this is considered one of his best, but the pace of the story seemed out of balance. Too much time on Tom Powers, child hoodlum, and too quick an ending to Tom Powers as a journeyman gangster. Still, very enjoyable.

Also, I saw a pre-release screening of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. This is a beautiful picture. Like the first, it's an unusual blend of cell-animation style characters with rich, obviously 3D-animation scenery. It refers to Madagascar 1 in places, but doesn't really depend on it to be enjoyed.

Is this the one with Peter O'Toole?

Yes, it is the one with Peter O'Toole. Also Omar Sharif, Donald Pleasance and Tom Courtney.

Horror Hotel with a very young Christopher Lee

And Zulu the movie that introduced Michael Caine

China Seas (1935) with Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and Wallace Beery. A great adventure film set aboard a ship sailing from Hong Kong to Singapore. Check out Gable's suit in the his opening scene, I'd like something like that for a summer suit myself. Robert Benchley is also aboard for comic relief as the constant drunk oblivious to all but his loyal companion....the bottle.

The Hunting Party (2007). Good fox hunting movie.

Winner Take All - 1932 James Cagney

Today I watched the 1944 movie "The Lodger" with Laird Cregar. Its a part of a boxed set "Fox Horror Classics" I picked up at Barnes & Noble. It was pretty good!
Tonight I have "No Country For Old Men" playing....its become a stand-by when nothing is on cable.

I watched this on my flight from Chicago to London. I was so excited when I saw it in the plane's viewing guide! It was a fun romp and I definitely would like to own the DVD.

Watched an oldie, but a goodie: The Great Escape. I still love McQueen's character. Classic.

I saw two really good movies yesterday during my lazy Sunday afternoon.

The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) & Indigenes (Days of Glory) (2006).

Over the weekend I watched "The Man Who Wasn't There" and "Barton Fink" two of the Coen Brothers more serious movies. Both very good character studies, I think, and some great suits and hats to boot!

Another good "serious" Coen flick is "Blood Simple". Its one of the first (if not the first) big Coen pictures. Its well worth a look!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with my daughter. I decided it was time too take back the TV.
