"This blog entry is part of my "movie year countdown round #2". Read more about that here. The Big Clock This movie is an exciting piece of film-noir. The main character, George, is a bit stupid and unsympathetic at times, at least to me. The crux of the movie is supposed to lie in the fact that you are sympathetic to him for trying to change his life around and start spending more time with his wife who he loves rather than working his life away at his job. He quits his job so he can go on a retreat with his wife. It's clear that making the decision to go on this retreat is what he needs to invest in completely as a last effort to prove to his wife he really cares about her more than his job. He quits his high paying job to go on this trip. And then after he quits, he goes to a bar and starts drinking with some other woman to waste time. Then he misses his train!! From there it's hard to be sympathetic. But nonetheless, the movie is saved by the fact that Charles Laughton ... "

"Paul Newman passed away on Friday after a long battle with cancer, and he will be sorely missed. As early as May he had been planning to direct a stage version of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, but he had to cancel due to his health. He’s a winner of every major award an actor can pull down, from Oscar to Emmy, and he appeared in over 50 feature films. Besides his work in film, television and on the stage, he also served in World War II, and has been a longtime humanitarian. Paul Newman retired from acting in May of 2007, but he left behind a large body of work that should be in your Netflix queue or on your shelf at home. Here’s a look at some of his best films, and why you should be watching them in tribute. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Arguably the film Newman is the most famous for, this was the first "

"I can envision moviegoers exiting “Burn After Reading” with the same befuddlement some have stated upon witnessing Joel and Ethan Coen's Oscar-winning “No Country for Old Men.” In fact, the directors are gracious enough to have one of the characters (a hilariously deadpan J.K. Simmons) say it for them: “So just what have we learned from all this?” His fellow C.I.A. officer squirms and kind of shrugs. I could sense the audience grumbling in agreement. But I could not join my fellow patrons in their dissatisfaction, for “Reading” was as unexpected, meandering, and precision-crafted as any of the brothers' comedic outputs. And it was a hell of a lot of fun. In fact, if I may commit an act of heresy amidst my fellow film-loving friends, I had more enjoyable time here than on my initial viewing of “The Big Lebowski.”

"The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) How did I miss this gem of a corporate slam back in the mid 90's? Certainly then I wasn't entrenched in corporate culture. It's sweet and funny. Granted it could move a little quicker, but I wonder if back in the 90s we weren't multi-tasking so much and now expect so more from our films to keep us engaged. Of course, I watched this while sewing and piecing together various fabrics for my designs. "

"Sleek, evanescent, shadowy, with a low-gloss platinum luster reminiscent of Wender's Wings of Desire, Kerry Conran's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a grand ride, full of whiz-bang gimmickry and homage to the glory days of retro-Science Fiction. An attempt to refine, fulfill, and exceed the spirit of wonder and astonishment that permeated comic books, novels, and movies like The Day the Earth Stood Still, Flash Gordon, and Metropolis. Funny though, once you start making a list of Sky Captain's numerous visual allusions, it's hard to know where to stop — Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Star "

"Well, let me start off by saying that I originally saw this two weeks ago and loved it. So I decided to go back and see it again. The Coen Brothers seem to have formed a pattern that has worked for them over the years. After putting out a serious film, the switch gears to a comedy one. Blood Simple brought Raising Arizona. Miller’s Crossing brought The Hudsucker Proxy. Fargro brought The Big Lebowski. The Man Who Wasn’t There brought Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers (both of which kind of suc "
