Watched Infamous last week.
Not bad but this version didn't give me the intensity of Capote.

so my wife and son are away for a few days. I decided today I'm going to have a film festival. but I can't decide between Bogart films and Woody Allen films.
here's where you come in: which should I choose?
here's what I have:
voting starts NOW!

you can link them with 'Casablanca' / 'Play it again Sam' .
on the Bogart-side of this you'd flank these with 'The Malthese Falcon' and 'The Big Sleep', on the Allen-side with 'Manhattan' and 'Purple Rose of Cairo' - and then you'd buy the Allen-movie 'Deconstructing Harry' which misses in your collection.

Went and saw Choke yesterday, was perfect. They didn't stray from the book or fluff it up with bullshit. Has anyone else seen it?
Black Swan
Abord the Yorikke!
yesterday I saw "Religulous",a Fred Phelps' documentary . I found it very entertaining , almost enlightening . Very funny stuff!
I do not mean to offend anyone who is religious.
The faith of many religious people is questionned in such a way that they wonder themselves what they just said . Larry Charles also directed 'Borat'.

Saw this Canadian documentary on Michael Moore last week. Not bad at all.

yeah. but what i like the most is the ubercool attitude of Jake and Elwood.
Like, when they're in that elevator - the whole world right around the building in full riot, time is short, and they are standing in that elevator, where 'The girl from Ipanema' [!] is playing and they don't even move the smallest muscle on their faces:
or the one and only John Lee Hooker playing on the streets and they're just standing there, faces like cement:
or all the other little cameos and humor:
or the whole cool thing in general!!!

Yeah, I need to go see this. Love westerns.
Bukfan
"The law is wrong; I am right"
Me too! I love a good western. Some of the movie was shot at Dripping Springs, near Austin, at the "San Antonio/Alamo" set that was build for "The Alamo" (2004). It was of course altered to fit "Appaloosa"...

Appaloosa has Renee Zellweger in it. I could not see that in the IMBD link. I wonder why they did that?
clip with Zellweger
I see, you have to click the more button under the cast.

Guy Ritchie is Back and that is what I plan to see. Has anyone seen it?
I went to the movies today and saw Body of Lies which was excellent if you like an action thriller. If you love or hate Leonardo DiCaprio you'll like the movie, same with Russell Crowe.
But....if you want a down to earth believable movie you might not care for it. Ridley Scott made it so you know his track record.

jesus christ. I just watched this. finally.
fucking epic masterpiece in the grandest American style, but still instilled with a dark European influence that always wins me over.
it's rare that a movie that reminds me of sooo many other movies affects me the way this one did. I saw Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Giant, East of Eden, Citizen Kane, A Face in the Crowd, and even a bit of El Topo all wrapped up in this beast.
and Daniel Day Lewis limping around channeling John Huston was excellent.
one of my favourite American films of recent memory.

I agree hooch. I've seen this one three times and each time I'm more convinced that this is best thing I have seen in 20 or more years. A true masterpiece.
Hamsun's Hunger:
Just saw the Danish/Swedish/Norwegian co-production of Hunger from 1966.
Its been re-released on DVD recently.
This has to be one of the best film-adaptions of a novel I have ever seen.
Its also one of the best B&W movies I've ever seen.
Wonder IF Buk ever saw it - living in LA I would guess not.
It won the gold palm in Cannes in its day.
It was filmed in the old part of Oslo that, at the time, was just about the same as it was when Hamsun himself was wandering around there, crazed by starvation and full of mad dreams of his own greatness. (All the old buildings are gone now.)
This is a movie you can watch once a year.
The extras has a conversation between Hamsun's granddaughter & Paul Auster who actually hadn't read Hamsun before he saw the film.
Auster curiously mentions that Hunger wasn't available in English around 1967. Perhaps it was out of print or something.
See some snippets here:
and, of course, don't forget: (in the radio-speech at the end he supports the German occupation and urges all Norwegians to stop their resistance and accept the greatness of Germany.)
