"This blog entry is part of my "movie year countdown round #2". Read more about that here. Seven Chances The movie starts off sweet and brings a few chuckles. It starts to build and build and then just suddenly explodes. From a comedy of more subtle interpersonal interactions to epic chases of unbelievably massive crowds and endless streams of gigantic boulders. There's not too much to scrutinize here, or if there is, I'd rather not. I'd rather just enjoy it, which is easy to do. Keaton brings tears of laughter and joy. Rating: 9/10 "

"Those with Netflix will know instantly to what I am referring here. Ever log on to Netflix and check out your Recommendations page? I normally don't. I try to use a more intuitive and organic approach to discovering films, and enjoy making it more of a "found item" journey than one in which one corporation tries to force-feed me the goods of another corporation. But every once in a while, I like to check the Recommendations page out, mainly because its a quick and simple way to add more ratings to Netflix (which I am, now that I think of it, unsure of why I even do that since, ultimately, the only real reason to do that is to get things recommended to you -- which I don't like...)Most of the time Netflix makes some sort of sense with their recommendations. Take, for instance, the fact they are recommending Madea's Family Reunion to me because I highly rated both Malcolm X and The Color Purple. Recommending Futurama Season 3 to me because I loved The Simpsons Movie,

"I am not sure if there is a filmmaker in movie history whose geniuis is as self-evident in his films as is Buster Keaton's. Watching a great Keaton film is like watching Eisenstien solve equations, and also much funnier. His achievement becomes even more impressive when you know his biography (I hearilly recommend Marion Meade's book Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase). Horribly physically abused by his father and neglected by his mother, Keaton recieved almost no education while growing up and remained nearly illiterate throught his life. Despite this, he was a genius with an instincutal grasp for how movies worked- technically, the only contemporaries who could rival him were Griffith, Lang and Eisenstien, and artistically, creating holistic, hilarious and intelligent works that were far ahead of his time. Despite the fact he was unable to read a novel, he posesed an understanding of structure that allowed him to break all the rules and still have his movies flow like a composit ... "

"This is a list for Round 2 of my movie year countdown viewing project as first described here. If by any strange chance whoever is reading this is actually following along you may notice that I'm still less than two thirds of the way through my original one. Well I'm starting this new one because as much as I love old movies it can get a little tedious watching just older movies. So I'm going to be blending my watching of the two lists together. Still focusing on the original one, but every once in a while sliding in the next entry from this new list.Again these new movies are limited to full length movies that are available on Netflix. And for this new round instead of picking a movie from every year, I will be picking a movie from every two years. For example the first movie must have come out during 2006 or 2007. The second movie must have come out in 2004 or 2005. The next in 2002 or 2003. You see.The list is not finished yet, but here is what I have decide ... "
