"I find movies about secrets to be terribly interesting. Affairs, murders, accidents, humiliations and the lengths people will go to hide them generally make for pretty compelling stuff. "Three Monkeys," the Turkish entry for the best foreign language film Oscar, is one such movie, and (I think) probably a pretty strong contender. I'm assuming the title has to do with the proverb "see no evil, hear no evil, do no evil," since the family at the center of this movie has plenty of issues that they deal with by not talking about them. Things start off when a Servet, a campaigning politician, is involved in a hit-and-run accident. Not wanting to tarnish his reputation right before the election, Servet has his driver, Eyüp, take the fall for him in exchange for a sum of money to be given to his family. In the meantime, Eyüp's wife, Hacer, has an affair with Servet, only to have it abruptly cut off when her ne'er-do-well son discovers them. Oh, and the family is also haunted by t ... "

"To all of you who saw that embarrassing, border-line incomprehensible and hastily removed post from a while ago - I'm sorry for being weird about it and I hope this serves as an explanation of some kind. Officially "breaking up"(so-to-speak) a month after the fact is a weird, weird thing. But, good ultimately. i guess. No. It's good. It's completely terrifying and hard, but good and necessary. Closure is truly an amazing feeling, I've found. It was great to talk, and learn about scary new jobs and new long-distance boyfriends and other things I would have not missed out on knowing about if we weren't being so stupid. We talked everything out, and I could tell that it was a good conversation because I lost my appetite and wanted to cry. driving home and listening to a mix* I later found out was made for her by the new boyfriend before he headed home to LA, I kind of did a little. These were straight up hardcore over-the-top "I love you" jams that completely tore me up late 2004. ... "

"Crimes and Misdemeanors is often considered one of Woody Allens masterpieces. Though I dont think its quiet in the league of Annie Hall or Hannah and Her Sisters, this is a good movie (for the record, I saw it for the first time back in middle school, but thought I should take a look at it again). The film is essentially a better written (and less plagiarized) precursor to Match Point. The main story revolves around Judah Rosenberg (Martin Landau), a wealthy, and seemingly happily married optometrist. In reality, Judah has been fooling around with Dolores (Angelica Huston), who is emotionally unstable and is getting more and more frustrated with Judahs refusal to leave his wife, and is threatening to reveal some shady business deals. The doctor finds himself considering the unthinkable- murdering Dolores to save himself and his respectable position. In a secondary but parallel story, Allen plays Clifford, a documentary filmmaker who for money makes a film about, Lester, his brother ... "

"I noticed the other day that our 'on demand' cable movies have a number of old Woody Allen flicks listed this month, and I revisited this one the other evening. I was once a big fan of his films, and a lot of my friends use the excuse of his messy personal improprieties to explain his films falling out of their favor in recent years, or the fact that he has a bad habit of pairing himself with younger and younger leading ladies leaving a bad taste in their mouth.My falling away has more to do with his insular vision, the way he sets his stories in the same comfortable environs of priviledge and class, and the few times he ventures outside of it, the tone comes across as condescending, or as if he's 'slumming'. You may say that he makes films about 'what he knows', and that's fair I suppose, and you gotta applaud the guy for regularly churning out halfway decent material without spending a gazillion dollars a picture, and still attracting talented acto ...
