I just moved that movie up to the top of my playlist, Brian!

One of my favorite films ever. Depardieu and Montand are extraordinary.

I like the second part, Manon des Sources, but not as much as Jean de Florette.

And yesterday I saw Manon des Sources :)
Although I missed Depardieu, I liked it as much as part 1.
The first half of life is spent in longing for the second, the second half in regretting the first.

Saw this one yesterday, by the same directer/writer and equally dark:



The image is not showing for me, which film is it, George?

I was impressed with this one, very dark but well acted and written.

I haven't seen that one, how was it?
I saw one of Neil Labute's plays in NYC a few years ago, a one man play that takes place at his wife's funeral. Ed Harris was the actor in a theater for about 350 people, quite intense.
Unfortunately, Labute has had some duds lately with films, he is the remake of Wicker Man with Nic Cage.

I had to sit through yet another Harry Potter movie.  This is probably the worst of the first five, which is saying quite a bit.  JK Rowling should not publish another word.

Of the movies, I have only seen 1, 6, and 7.1. 6 was my favorite simply because Jim Broadbent showed up. I view the films as some kind of character-actor reunion party, but then they invariably get ruined by all that stuff about the kids.

Lest anyone object, I did read the books as a kid... they were ok.

Heck, Jim Broadbent almost made it seem worthwhile to endure Moulin Rouge.

Todd is such a Grinch! (Or JK Rowling-approved equivalent.)

My exact feelings about that film.

Last night I watched two movies:




val

"THE DESCENDANTS"    with George Clooney

A nice movie, but I would like that the director enters more deeply in the personality of the characters, in special the one played by Clooney, instead of showing him only reacting to external events. I liked more the other movie I saw of this director, "Sideways".

I liked the pictures. (Isn't that what movies are about?)

Love Drugstore Cowboy. Haven't seen Genius Within. Reminds me that I might enjoy seeing 32 Short Films about Glenn Gould again.

Yeah, Drugstore Cowboy was great! I was surprised to see William S. Burroughs make an appearance because I didn't realize he was in the film. His rant about the drug war was great. I have 32 Short Films about Glenn Gould in my Netflix streaming queue, so I'll have to check it out sometime soon.

Which one? The original or the re-make?
