Last Movie You Watched

[T. D.]

The Bill Evans documentary Time Remembered.

Good but not spectacular.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. It feels like it's trying too hard. But, here's Willem Dafoe. I may stick with it.

The start of the movie is distractingly scattershot, but once Astrid and Jeremy meet, it finds its footing. I'm glad I stuck with it. In fact, I'll go as far as to say that I like it as well as the original. Which would have been a big surprise, if you had told me so last night.

Came in partway through Martin Scorsese's The Departed with Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, and others.  It's loosely based on the Boston mobster Whitey Bulger.

From IMDB's website:  "An undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston."

Hi Karl - for those who haven't seen some of these older films: 1) 'How Green Was My Valley' won 5 Oscars including best picture (AI search below); 2) 'Northwest Passage' is a fictionalized biopic about Rogers' Rangers during the French/Indian War w/ Tracy splendid as Robert Rogers; 3) 'Broadway Melody' features the superlative dancing talents of Astaire and Powell (she was just amazing but you need a yen for these musicals); 4) 'Red Dust' is a must! Pre-code film from 1932 (nearly a 100 years old) w/ a young Gable and two beautiful actresses in their prime; and 5) 'Cinderella Man' w/ Crowe playing James Braddock, who became heavy weight champion by beating Max Baer in a 15-rounder - I own about a dozen boxing films which Susan usually refuses to watch - she does like 'Rocky' and really enjoyed this one - she needs a good 'human interest' story w/ less emphasis on boxing scenes.  Dave

"How Green Was My Valley" won five Academy Awards at the 14th annual ceremony. These included Best Picture, Best Director (John Ford), Best Supporting Actor (Donald Crisp), Best Cinematography (black and white), and Best Art Direction (black and white). It was nominated for a total of ten Oscars.

Shame on me for never seeing that one. The Ehle/Firth casts all the other versions into the shade for me.

Thanks for the tip! I chanced on this one, browsing at the Library.

What? You've never seen the Darcy in the pond scene?
(Although that's not why it's so good.)

No good reason why I've neglected this. "Perhaps Mr Collins has a cousin" near made me spit out my tea.
