And this one with a very young Julia Ormond....
If you are interested what I think of the recordings I play, PM me, and I will go into further detail.

Johnny Mercer - a TCM documentary by Clint Eastwood that appeared last night on the Turner Channel - just excellent and amazing 'how many' songs/writers that he contributed the lyrics!  Copied to my DVR, so may 'burn' a DVD later - unfortunately, just an hour - could have watched more -  :D



I was bowled over by his number and quality of songs. That was truly the golden age of popular music.
If music be the food of love, hold the mayo.

I enjoyed Constantine a lot more than the typical reviews suggest; (Metacritic = 58, though a lot of these are from video game reviewers  :-\ ).  Not Keanu Reeves' acting of course, but the story's concepts resonated.  I loved 'Satan' as played by Peter Stormare, and Tilda Swinton as 'Gabriel'.

Susan & I just returned from a long weekend trip to Richmond, VA - just 4 hrs up the road - love to stay @ the Jefferson Hotel & sample their fabulous Sunday brunch (will report soon in the 'eating thread'!).

But of course, there is much American history in that state, both involving the American Revolution & the American Civil War - so stimulated me to watch both a documentary (will finish tonight) & a movie that I enjoy:

I think Liebelei isn't available on DVD, states or no states. You can either get it on VHS (usually pricey) or recorded from German TV from the internet. Since TV rips are not under copyright here you go:

Well after our recent trip to NYC including a Broadway show, we needed some show tune history & performances:

Richard Rodgers - The Sweetest Sounds (2001) - outstanding bio documentary; includes his work w/ Hart & Hammerstein -  :D

Barbara Cook In Mostly Sondheim (2003) - excellent concert performance of a variety of popular tunes from the past; we saw her live in San Fran about 6-7 yrs ago - a joy!  :)

The first movie was fab, the second shit, and the third one fab again.
There was some data trouble in the II and III film.
If you are interested what I think of the recordings I play, PM me, and I will go into further detail.

For anyone who cares, Criterion is releasing Ophuls's Lola Montès on DVD and Blu-Ray this February. Can't wait to finally see it!

Call me sentimental, call me old fashioned, but I love this film. Never I saw Demi Moore more beautiful as here. The scene with the pottery is beyond believe, the most sexy scene I ever saw. This woman would even turn a ancient mummy on.

Ghost is also a sentimental favourite here. Like Forrest Gump too. 'Little' movies can make a big impression.
