"This blog entry is part of my "movie recommendation site suggestions". Read more about that here. Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo (I Was Born, But...) An old silent Ozu film. On the surface, a simple film about children moving to a new town and the and the problems they face in making new friends and dealing with bullies. There's a contrast between the world of children and adults and how children see the adult world and judge each other based on who their parents are and how they act. I couldn't find as much profundity here as a lot of critics seem to. Maybe there are aspects of Japanese culture I just don't get here. I'm not too sympathetic to kids who show too much pride and disrespect their parents so that got a little frustrating at the end there. But it's well done for what it is and the children actors are pretty good. Not as good as I was expecting for something suggested so highly "

"This blog entry is part of my "movie recommendation site suggestions". Read more about that here. The Hustler This was one of the most highly recommended movies for me from all three of the different recommendation sites, thus my expectations were incredibly high. Unfortunately they were not met, but fortunately it was still a good movie certainly worth seeing. The acting is the great thing here. Paul Newman, George C. Scott, Piper Laurie, and Jackie Gleason are the big names and all fairly compelling. Scott is my favorite here. He usually is. The actual pool playing was pretty cool too although sometimes a little disconnected. I guess it's the reality of the game that what really counts is endurance. But you don't really get the sense of intensity that each shot really counts that much except in a few cases. What turned me off a bit was what I think of as a Tennessee Williams kind of low class couple drama. Specifically, the relationship between Eddie Felson and Sarah Pac ... "

"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 rate movies on so many different websites that offer movie recommendations based on those ratings that I figured it's time to actually start watching a lot of the top recommended movies. Three of the main sites I get recommendations from are Movielens, Filmaffinity, and Netflix. Below is a list of films that I will be watching based on what these websites predict my ratings would be. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------- Sholay - NF 5/5Andaz Apna Apna - NF 5/5Double Indemnity - NF 4.9/5, ML 4.5/5, FA 9.3/10Monster in a Box - NF 4.8/5, ML 4.5/5Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo (I Was Born, But...) - NF 4.6/5, FA 9.3/10La Ronde - NF 4.6, FA 9.3Kumonosu jô (Throne of "

"Finding myself in a 'Paul Newman' mood lately. Recently re-watched 'The Verdict' a few weeks ago, then caught 'Hud' the other night on TCM, and then while shopping at Target the other day, I couldn't resist the 5.50 price tag on 'The Color of Money' in order to add to my Scorcese collection.The first time I watched this I would have been 24 years old, and saw it in the company of a friend 20 years my senior who fancied himself a 'pool afficienado', and I don't think I totally got the movie. It was flashy, it had a lot of great music, but being younger, I think I found myself seeing it as a 'wisdom vs. brash youth' flick with a particularly unlikable young Tom Cruise. But over the years I have come to have a certain fondness for this movie, and perhaps a clearer understanding. Like a fine scotch, it gets mellower with age. At the time I remember Scorcese getting a lot of grief for 'selling out' with this picture, it ha ... "
