"These may not be the greatest titles of all time, but they're the right movies for right now It’s time to try to stretch that summer out as long as you can. Sit on your couch, open up a brew, and toss these in for a gander. 1. The 39 Steps (1935) – Alfred Hitchcock was born in London on August 13, 1899. So I suggest that you celebrate his birthday by watching one of his timeless classics. Just about anyone will do. Why not this one? 2. Back to School (1986) – Two months in a row I’m suggesting a Dangerfield movie. But I really loved him in this gem. And it’s time to start getting ready to hit the books again so might as well watch a classic ‘80s comedy to get you in the mood. 3. Living Legends: Broke Ass Summer Jam – Summer’s not quite over yet. Hip-hop heads and live music lovers alike can enjoy the live performances on the stage in this dvd. The highlight of this one is definitely when Living Legends perform Rabbit Hole and Ne ... "

"Wild Strawberries is the third film in the filmspotting Ingmar Bergman ("Saraband") marathon. And it's my new favorite of his films. Though the themes are sometimes heavy, an aging professor realizes that his life is empty, there is often humor and the characters are engaging. Throughout the film, the professor is haunted by troubling dreams, and these make me long for a Bergman horror movie. Though the episodes are short, they are unbelievable spooky and the cinematography gorgeous and frightening at the same time.No Country for Old Men is a shoo-in for a Best Picture Nomination, if not the win. The story follows Josh Brolin ("American Gangster)'s Llewelyn Moss as he stumbles across and drug deal gone bad and a lot of money. He is then stalked by Javier Bardem ("Love in the Time of Cholera")'s Anton Chigurh, a hitman determined to recover the money. And that's just the barest of outlines. The acting in this is amazing, especially Bardem who ... "

"While watching Wild Strawberries the other night I began to come to a realization. I was watching a road trip movie. But like most Bergman movies, there is so much more to it. I'll admit it, I'm not the biggest fan of Persona, I think it has some excellent moments (hottest sex scene in a film has no sex at all), but as an overall film I found it lacking. Wild Strawberries is fantastic.The film starts off slow, at first I found the opening narration filled with exposition, I understood the man was lonely, I get it. Let's move on. You do not really get how misunderstood this man is until we start his journey. How he is haunted by dreams and memories of the past, which I never really understood until he visited his 94-year-old mother. I truly enjoyed watching this character's immense amount of history. That being said, it is a road-trip movie and I've always had something against road-trip movies. Perhaps it is because the concept is simple "a character or a n ... "

"Wild Strawberries has a heaviness to it, but I find it very hopeful. This whole film is like a dream to me. I think the opening sequence sets the tone nicely. We weave in and out of that dream mode throughout the whole film. Even when Isak is not really dreaming, we are seeing his memories. He sees what he has become and he does not like it. Unlike A Christmas Carrol, Isak does not do a 180, but I do feel that he finds some sort of redemption. There are things in life that no matter what, will not change. Bergman is not one to give us happy endings, but this is as close as we will get. "
