Educating Rita
Experts on relationship
By

paul on spout.com
"
Very similar to my complaint about Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), the first half of Educating Rita wades through a bunch of outdated jokes and, like a child whose taken too many theater classes, there's an awkward effort to come across as "cute." However also like Alice, the film finds the real meat of what it's trying to be in the second half. Unfortunately, there is ...

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
The softer side of Scorsese.
By

I watched Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore again the other night. It has that feeling of being heavily influenced by a studio system, although I'm not sure what the story is on the making of this particular film. It's full of manufactured cute moments and mom/son banter. It made me wonder what it will be like to watch a Meg Ryan flick like French Kiss twenty years from now. It p ...

Flightplan
Predictable, even if aboard an airplane

Reel Thoughts
"
Well, I watched Flightplan for free, as we have a bit of an office swap going because two people, myself included, are addicted to movies and like to watch bunches. I'll watch anything, but I'm pretty picky about liking something. This movie had some tension and suspense, but it was altogether predictable. And somewhat beyond belief - in order to render the plot plausible, an ...

Maybe I was just in a weird mood, but I found this movie strangley...very funny. I recommend watching this movie, and then letting me know if it is actually funny.

Gone With the Wind
Nothing compared to the book

Pammyk's thoughts
"
I failed to see why this movie was so good because I was so distracted by how much better the book was. I was living in the south at the time and I had just spent the past few weeks soaking up every last bit of the book. I found the movie at my local library and was so excited to watch it. I can't even begin to list the things the movie left out, and how disappointed I was. ...

Raising Victor Vargas
don't miss a chance to meet Victor
By

ktincu Blog
"
I decided I needed to watch Raising Victor Vargas when I found out that it was shot by Tim Orr, who did David Gordon Green's George Washington. Although Raising Victor Vargas is a different sort of film--funnier, faster, and shot in Lower East Manhattan rather than rural North Carolina--I wasn't disappointed. The cinematography was beautiful, not in an aching, lingering way, bu ...

Adult films for children

An inordinate number of peppers
"
I said this once and everyone laughed at me, but seriously. What I'm thinking about are those moments when out of parental pride you take your child to the opera or the ballet to expose them to "culture" with the idea that something enriching goes on in the experience of art. Perhaps it was a hit, perhaps it was a Fantasia moment and the child is suddenly overjoyed with the exp ...

Macbeth
Polanski--Man For the Job
By

on
SkyPilot Blog
"
Polanski was probably too prepared to film Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in 1971. His wife, Sharon Tate, had recently been murdered by the Manson family. I hear that some critics have used this incident to explain why Polanski shows Macbeth kill Duncan onscreen (Shakespeare's script keeps this offstage). The performances are impeccable, and of course the English language doesn't g ...

Doctor Gore

Before I saw "Body Shop" I believed there were two kinds of bad cinema. (1) Your average, completely uninspired fare (i.e. "Constantine"), and (2) the work that is charmingly bad, or so-bad-it's good (a la "Manos The Hands of Fate"). Now that I've seen "Dr. Gore" I know there is a third kind of bad movie: the utter crap sandwich. Mystery Science Theatre disciples beware, this ...

Ator l'Invincibile 2
Theme Park Please!
By

SkyPilot Blog
"
"The Blade Master." This charming sword & sorcery epic is populated by cavemen, samurai, giants beasts, and effete warlords... needless to say, it merits its own theme park. Scuttle your way through a prehistoric cave maze! Hang-glide onto a castle wall! Bungee jump into the pit of the Snake God! Under the title of Cave Dwellers this movie made for one of the all-time g ...
