Love it, Coco. Such a beautiful and haunting film.

[Karl Henning]

I thought so, I remember that one!

Interesting! This is the first ever I've seen it.

I admit to thinking better of both "A Passage for Trumpet" & "A Game of Pool."

[TheGSMoeller]

Going to watch all of Malick's films this week, starting with Badlands, great cinematography and music, uses Carl Orff's "Gassenhauer" which makes for a great score. In fact, I used in a home movie I made of my son last year.

Yeah I didn't actually like that one even though it was written by Matheson.

Love it, Coco. Such a beautiful and haunting film.

My third time watching it — gets lovelier every time. The last few minutes hurt my heart.

Which one did you prefer Drasko?  I think the original for me.

Is that the one where the people in the spaceship crash on the planet?

No David.

I agree, David. Although Nolan's version wasn't bad.

Well, still replacing some of my DVDs w/ Blu-ray discs (if the price is right and extras are added) - last few nights Clint Eastwood in his two initial 'police series' roles - really just wanted Dirty Harry but the 2-BD set was just $9 at Amazon - both films still enjoyable!

The Norwegian original, no contest. Nolan's film is a fine, very well made Hollywood confection thriller but with all the usual cliches and ironed out rough edges (dog shooting scene is a no go, good guy-bad guy dynamic, compulsory redemption ending). The same story but Nolan changed the characters so much that films actually are barely comparable.



Just came in from Cinematheque, nothing beats watching film at the theatre.

Such a good movie. Must be great in a theater. The Gene Siskel Film Center is playing Bresson's Une Femme Douce and The Trial of Joan of Arc this Sunday.

Not del Toro's best but a fun movie:

It's a remake of a made for tv movie from the 70s which I haven't seen.  This was good despite the fact that the monsters were cgi, and shown too much.

Went to the cinema with the girls last night to see Hugo, entirely charming.

[Fëanor]

"Best Vampire Movie Ever" -- well maybe, but I'm not an aficionado.  This one is good, though: 4/5*

Let the Right One In ~ Dir: Tomas Alfredson





Also pretty good: 4/5* ...

Hugo ~ Dir. Martin Scorsese

The bottom quote on that poster is a better description.  The first one is a Simpsons reference when nobody watches the Simpsons anymore!

[Karl Henning]

Nor did I ever, je-je-je.
