Time to head off to Krim's Movie tailgating party. :good:

Speaking of movies, I've been wanting to watch Polanski's Ghost Writer. It got some positive reviews in the press.

I liked too. It was good not great, but definitely entertaining. I think Helena Bonham Carter stole the show, so to speak.

Her bulbous head was so hot. :hot:

For sure. The Red Queen was definitely my favourite. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"

my other friend seems to not want to watch, and my other movie buddy has already seen it with this chick he just met, so... i think ill have to ask my CPA, i owe her a movie anyways. actually she owes me for dragging me to see Valentines Day with her.

Just finished watching JFK... Incredibly thought provoking film.

Moved with helpful instructions from BMW


Last night I watched a French film from years ago. It was a black and white Jacques Tati film called 'Mon Oncle' Not a silent film but very little dialogue... did not really need it. Very interesting Tati direction with very revealing accents of life as it was around the late thirties and into the forties. One of those comedy dramas that you really need to experience.

Human traits and follies and obsessions in daily life. Very funny.


I would also now like to see Fernandel in his film 'Man who could walk through Walls' I have looked but cannot find his version. That was another French take on a fantasy.

+1 :victory:

while The White Queen really gets on my nerves :beaten:

I saw Welcome yesterday. It was absorbing, but sad. Simple story, good acting performances. I was not as affected or moved by it as some viewers though judging by the comments, and the friendship between the two main characters was a little disappointing because it felt mostly one way.

Just viewed Election, Johnnie To fim from a few years ago, hard hitting mobster film. :metaldevil: Think in the last few years, the HK Triad films may be better than the Japanese Yakuza ones. Seen quite a few To films, this one and Breaking News are worth a watch. :applaud:

kind of want to check out the film fest this sat for Ramen Girl, and Whirlwind Restaurant on sunday...

I guess I should follow up my previous viewing of Fast Times at Ridgemont High with Ferris Bueller's Day Off. :mrgreen:
