Can't believe no one has started a new thread of this since the old one is locked up.
Might as well start it up...
I stayed up all evening and watch the Crosby & Hope "Road to" films on TCM
Road to Singapore
Road to Zanzibar
Road to Morocco
Road to Utopia

I kept looking for a new one that they would have started after the old one was closed.
This week:
π(pi) and 3 Extremes, I'm starting to go through all of my movies and watch them.

3 Extremes is insane, especially Dumplings.
I watched Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke last night before falling asleep.

Extract: A lot of people and critics raved about it, and a lot didn't. The ones that didn't were right. Some good things in it (for once, David Koechner was the strong part of something.) Mostly, just blah things. Everyone involved (yes even Affleck) have been better in better things. Starting to look like Judge should stay on TV.
We'd like to wish EZMOHR all the best in his future....ah forget it.

Let's international up this board right here. I've been watching some old Indian cinema.
This week the great depressive Guru Dutt trilogy:
Pyaasa, 1957 (The Thirsty Man)
Kaagaz Ke Phool, 1959 (Paper Flowers)
Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, 1962 (King, Queen and Knave)
All of these movies were great commentaries on the state of Indian society and the relation between art and commerce. And some of the songs in these movie are also examples of the best poetry written by contemporary poets. Pyaasa, alone, has two of my favourite songs in the whole world.Last edited by thespianphryne; 01-29-2010 at 01:16 PM.

What makes these films stand out in particular? I've been wanting to get into more Indian cinema, particularly if it's nothing like Slumdog Millionaire (which I like because I have to).

Rewatched 12 Monkeys. Now, onto the overly long period of 24 episodes before my next movie.

Choke
While its not as good as Palinuik's novel, it was entertaining but not great.
Sam Rockwell is a great actor working with a sub-par script but pulls it off nicely."If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf."

Nice to see some odd and fun movies on cable
Matinee
1993 Joe Dante comedy that John Goodman does a great job as a William Castle type personality debuting his latest film in the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Fun and a nice nostalgia feel to it.
The Sting
1973 Oscar Winning film...Newman & Redford con job film.
Worth watching every time. I love this film
The Burbs
Once I put this on at any time the film is on, I have to watch it to the end.
Tom Hanks' neighbors... are they killers or is everyone on the block just thinking it? Great cast... Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Rick Ducummen, Henry Gibson, and Corey Feldman."If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf."

Needed a Jennifer Connelly/Angelina Jolie fix, and picked these two film this morning."Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is."

Local Hero for the second time.
Seriously wonderful in every respect and just as good the second time. Why this film isn't more widely acclaimed is beyond me.Check out my latest review: Iron Man 3
