Hangover

The Hangover
By Risselada on Risselada Blog
" The Hangover I'd been wanting to see the one because of Zach Galifianakis but missed it in the theatre. I ended up seeing it unexpectedly at the end of a night at a house party. When things were dying down someone started playing what I assume was a pirated copy and I couldn't help but just staying and watching the whole thing. It was pretty much what I expected from previous ... [More]"

By Risselada on Risselada Blog
" This is the first film I've seen by director Otto Preminger. Anatomy of a Murder A good courtroom drama, but less for the reasons that I would have expected. At some point finding out what really happened and who is guilty or innocent is not quite as important as just watching all of the different characters involved, their motives, methods, and relationships. Also notable for ... [More]"

Moral Tales, Filmic Issues
By Risselada on Risselada Blog
" Moral Tales, Filmic Issues This one isn't in the Spout database but I thought I'd mention it because I enjoyed it. You can see this on disc one of the Criterion Collection set of Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales. The first film in the set The Bakery Girl of Monceau is so short at 23 minutes that it would have seemed kind of wasteful to have nothing else on the disc. So we get t ... [More]"

" This is the second feature length film I've seen by director Andrzej Wajda. I chose to watch this film based on previous good ratings I've given other films by this director and to better my favorite directors by algorithm listing. Kanal I'm always so thrilled to find new movies as great as this. It's not great because everything that happens in it is so pleasant, but because ... [More]"

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Snow White
By Risselada on Risselada Blog
" Snow White The final feature length film from the DVD set "Treasures From American Film Archives" is a classic tale, but set some of the future standards of cinematic interpretations. Or at least it is known to have been a considerable influence on Walt Disney in his inspiration and execution of his own version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. My biggest complaint is that ...
