PARIS- I hated it. It was way too eager to please. Owen Wilson sucks. It's point was obvious very early on. etc.

ROME- I liked it. A lot actually. The stories all unfolded in unexpected directions. Watching it, I did something I haven't done in an Allen film for years and years and years: laugh a lot and enjoy myself. It's slight, but not brainless.

rome is celebrity yes? i liked it but i thought its points about celebrity were a little too telegraphed. loved the shower opera though-- this is reminiscent of both broadway danny rose (the agent of doomed acts) and zelig-- zelig because of the absurdity of the situations. damn, the first time i watched zelig i laughed so hard i had bellyaches-- hasn't fared so well in rewatches for me, but still that first time was tremendously memorable.

re: paris yes it's a bit of a sentimental movie but eh! and ellen page was great in it.

Midnight In Paris is delight and with that there is no room for any other opinion.

Sure SPOUT AWAY about how rubbish this is or how "luscious" that is but step...the hell away from Midnight In Paris.

did you notice my post to demonrail where i said i LOVED midnight in paris? cuz i do. i mentioned to evollove that yeah was a bit sentimental but "Eh!" by "eh!" i mean "whatever" or "i don't care" or "it doesn't kill the movie." plus, wasn't ellen page great in it? horrible character, great performance.

anyway evollove seems to prefer colder/more analytical movies-- for me midnight in paris was 100 times better than celebrity-- but i still liked celebrity.

I do not enjoy most woody allen movies. Just don't. I find them boring and inconsequential. even the "funny" ones.

Murmer99 · 01.28.2013, 04:12 PM

Zelig is his most underrated film, period.

demonrail666 · 01.28.2013, 04:16 PM

Maybe now, but I remember all kinds of fuss and excitement about it when it originally came out. It didn't do much for me but plenty of people considered it a masterpiece at the time. Personally I preferred Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.

!@#$%! · 01.28.2013, 07:05 PM

i just realized that due to a brain inFARTction i mixed up the stories/casts of midnight in paris and to rome with love and i threw in the name "celebrity" that had nothing to do with nothing. busy fucking day!

because to rome with love is a bunch of stories i mixed up the ellen page /jesse whatever story with the midnight in paris story. well, both involve some sort of time travel, right? hA! but midnight in paris is standalone (and great!).

then i was thinking about the roberto begnini storyline from "to rome with love" and called it "celebrity!' because, fuck, it's about being famous for the fuck of it (that's what i called "too telegraphed"). i did place the opera story correctly. i totally forgot the penelope story which is kinda like bullets over broadway in that the male protagonist decides the city is too much and goes back home (and there's criminals).

anyway, way to fuck it all up. yay me! haa haaa haaa.

Not a movie, but my wife and I finished this yesterday. Man, I did not know if I would like it when I saw the first 3 episode,s but it is sooooooo good.

demonrail666 · 01.30.2013, 12:59 PM

The Fast and the Furious

I try to find the good in most films but this really was awful.

gast30 · 02.03.2013, 06:27 PM

and if you excuse
i'm going to continue now to watch the rest of the movie of the planet of the walking apes

where 3 things are for sure
1. it is a walking ape
2. it is mortal
3. what is going to happen before death is the unknown

!@#$%! · 02.06.2013, 03:39 PM

i borrowed this from the library the other day

damn, gorgeous cinematography and great use of camera but holy shit this is longer than the amazon. i haven't finished and i doubt i will.

------

EDIT: THIS MOVIE ISN'T THAT LONG! MY NETFLIX ENVELOPE CLAIMED 3H25M BUT IT'S ONLY 100M. FUCK

gast30 · 02.06.2013, 03:55 PM

^^ i read that book
great nature peoples
natures people you never need to fear them

demonrail666 · 02.07.2013, 11:42 AM

American Gangster

Wears its Scorsese influences a bit too loudly but Russell Crowe is excellent.

Charley Varrick

Bit of a forgotten gem, this. Feels a bit like it was made for TV but no worse for that. Lots of cliched 70s bank robber types in cheap brown suits driving around 70s Reno trying to escape the Mob. No masterpiece but a great film to watch laying on the sofa with a massive sandwich when everyone's out.

Murmer99 · 02.07.2013, 12:51 PM

Roman Polanski's "Frantic".

I'm working my way through Polanski's work at the moment but I decided to watch one I've already seen. Frantic is quite honestly a perfect film, imo.

!@#$%! · 02.07.2013, 06:18 PM

wtf up with trama's self-destruct poAsts?

demonrail666 · 02.07.2013, 06:29 PM

The French Connection

!@#$%! · 02.07.2013, 06:41 PM

^^ oh man that is good stuff. popeye is such an asshole too.
