A thoroughly satisfying weekend for movie watching. All 4 films were great.

That Agnes Varda doc starts here in a week or so. I'm really looking forward to it.

Nightcrawler





An interesting storyline.

The Bar - latest from one of my favorite Spanish directors, Alex de la Iglesia. It's another pitch black comedy of human condition. Bunch of random people get trapped in a bar when an unseen sniper starts shooting anyone who steps out. As story progresses it becomes dog-eat-dog scenario of survival for the protagonists. Dark and funny, as usual with de la Iglesia. Blanca Suarez in the female lead is quite gorgeous and I'm obviously getting old as I couldn't recognize that I've seen her in two films previously.

Available on Netflix.

Secret in their Eyes





A chilling concept.

Okay, so I watched [the Daniel Craig] Casino Royale again last night.  Dang, but it's good.

One of my last bluray purchases while l was still able to watch them, and l heartily agree. Imho, Craig makes for a near-perfect present-day Bond, rivaling ( some might even say surpassing ) Connery.

It's a very pretty film. Italy, summer, sun, lots of green, swimming, sound of crickets, music, falling in love ... Even if I didn't knew that James Ivory wrote the script I would have thought that it has the feel of an Merchant/Ivory production. The only minus is that it is a bit dramatically flat.

So yesterday, I watched both Quantum of Solace and Skyfall . . . I do not believe I have ever watched two complete Bond films in a single day ever before, FWIW.

Man, but the bad guys are miraculously well organized . . . .

If you're going up against 007, you had better be organized...

Breach





Quite a good, factually based film with good performances all around.
