captain america is a bit shit.
casablanca rules!
and i liked american hustle a lot-- very entertaining. not sure what people missed in it.
...
lately i've watched a ton of good movies. can't post all the pictures so just google the titles for ample proof.
A BRIDGE TOO FAR - great 70s movie about operation market garden in ww2. maybe a bit confusing and scattered with all the characters, but great epic scope. also stellar 70s cast-- excessive, even.
CRIES AND WHISPERS - bergman's most color-based movie. in insane RED interiors! wowza. sven nyqvist won an oscar for cinematography.
THE RIVER - jean renoir's first color film-- in great garish technicolor. a simple story, but beautiful, told from the point of view of a child
wim wenders's angels in berlin diptych:
WINGS OF DESIRE - gorgeous, and pretty experimental, with all the rilke in it. an adventurous film.
FARAWAY, SO CLOSE! - a lesser film than wings of desire, more straighforward and hammy but still very nice and somehow managed to win at cannes.
and lastly:
ST. VINCENT - hilarious. and a bit of a tear-jerker too. i approve.
oh, and tried watching INCEPTION too but the blu-ray was fucked up. waiting for a replacement to arrive.
