Movies

A pretty good week. Lebanon B-, Wild Grass B+, Martha qui venait du froid B+. Also saw In Bruges for a 2nd time and will "upgrade" it to B+

I was tempted to rate Lebanon a mere C- because I felt so uncomfortable (claustrophoby + the ME context)during the whole movie but I will admit that it is efficient and well filmed.

Wild Grass (Les roseaux sauvages) is not for everyone.  It's just that I have been a regular of Resnais, his band of actors (Dussolier, Azema, again) for several decades and every new movie is a delight. May Resnais live 15 more years and make 10 more movies.

Martha Who Came In From the Cold (my translation) is a National Film Board documentary.  It relates from Martha's perspective - she was a little girl, then - the abusive moving further North of bands of Inuits during the fifties. All this for claiming Canadian rights to the Arctic. It makes you ashamed to be Canadian.  

In Bruges... I still like the story and the acting. The + is for Bruges, seen from Brendan Gleeson' perspective.

So Who Saw What? (me - Piranha 3D: B-, Cop Out: C+, She's Out Of My League: B, The Room: umm...Z minus, I guess? islander Aug 30, 08:02

If there weren't enough breasts in PIRAN, maybe you should look into some sort of porn DVD club :) {nm} secretstalker Aug 30, 08:10

ah. I'll leave that alone then except to say I really like Lebanon {nm} Moviesnob Aug 30, 10:06

That was an easier one than notfabio's "dl exo" a couple of threads below. Nobody asked what it meant. I don't feel like an insider :) {nm} Diapason Aug 30, 10:13

City Island (2009) B+ , Edward Burtynsky: Manufactured Landscapes (2007) A , The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008) B+ , and... joeoftexas Aug 30, 09:08

Hey Joe.., you saw a lot of dvd's this week. Bad weather out there ? JMT Aug 30, 11:24

Not really anything bad, just *HOT*... A month of 100-degree Texas days in August is always good for staying home indoors & watching movies. {nm} joeoftexas Aug 30, 12:27

If you watch THE ROOM alone, it is a Z-. If you watch it with a pumped up midnight crowd... A+++ {nm} skamanfu Aug 30, 09:25

Time Travellers Wife (F, a bit creepy and not a genre I like anyway), Pocahontis (B the first time, please shoot me by the tenth time.) {nm} shadowking Aug 30, 10:45
