Maybe. I didnt exactly want to find out what happened past the ending but the acting was all top flight and it handled itself pretty well by and large imo

i liked SPOILER

Did you read Five Came Back?

Not a bad book.

Haven't read it yet, but I've been catching a bit of the Tuesday programming built around it on TCM. Harris' intros are very good and have got me excited to read it.

Anyone got any opinions on Ben Urwand's The Collaboration? I have read quite a few people ripping into Urwand's loose interpretation of source material and it's historical veracity, but it got a lot of positive reviews as well.

Hanna (re-watch; I saw it in theaters, and own the DVD). Wish more genre movies were this weird and beautiful.

Bring Me the Head of Tim Horton (2015, Maddin) (31m) 7/10

So Maddin's got *two* new ones I gotta see, huh?

^that's a weird subversive making-of he did for a gung-ho Canadian war movie. May not circulate.

i was very fatigued during the Joe -- a medical/political ghost story. Has nurses joking/poking about morning erections.

Garrel nearly as good as Jealousy, only Louis only narrates... Unsentimental dissection of adultery as self-inflicted guilt trip. Contrasted with the grays of the French Resistance!

Sicario 6/10
A Touch Of Zen 8/10

is Louis nude in it

sounded nude

lol what is "it's not me, I swear!"?

Canadian film, somewhat in the style of My Life as a Dog.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1163752/

yeah I looked it up. Sounds darker than the title suggests

Definitely--the kid is precociously acerbic and morose and always threatening to kill himself.

hi-five for Foxy Brown

yeah, Foxy Brown (racist trash) is better than Meet Me in St Louis, what a relief to find out

Re-watched the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers last night. Still scary as hell. More surprising was the realization that it was rated PG. Ah, the Seventies...

Yeah - it was rated PG so I was taken to see it while still way too young. Dog-Man haunted my nightmares for a loooong time haha.

PG? Surprised too. Besides just how scary and intense it is at times, there's a flash of nudity. It played at the theatre where I ushered in 1979--might be the best film we had for the year I worked there.

I was just a bit too young to see the Kaufman remake when it first came out (I think it was an 'AA' certificate in the UK, which meant you had to be 14 years old or over to see it), but I did own the photonovel:

http://flashbak.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/photonovelbodysnatchers.png

The DVD has a quote from Pauline Kael on the back - "Undiluted pleasure and excitement. It may be the best film of its kind ever made." - which is going it a bit.

I goofed--Foxy Brown was supposed to read Jackie Brown (night I got Pam Grier's autograph).

Bridge Of Spies : 7/10
Mr. Holmes : 6/10 (though edging into 7 mainly because of how faithful it is to the source novel. Found McKellen too sympathetic as Holmes.)
Voici les temps d'assassins : 9/10 (incredibly dark late period Duvivier. Gabin as a chef is A++ casting. Just a great film.)
Danny Collins: 5/10 (Oscar bait crap but I admire Pacino's kinda restrained perf. )

I think Morbs must be busy with the sportsball playoffs and such so I'll fill in for him.

Sicario (Villeneuve, 2015) - 7/10
My Darling Clementine (Ford, 1946) - 6/10

wtf you heathen

some ppl just don't deserve John Ford
