BillF Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 The Lucrecia Mantel is a sophisticated filmmaker worth watching. The Holy Girl is well up to the standard of The Swamp. Her obscurity is a little too much though in The Headless Woman.

Jazzmoose Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) First time for this one. A very interesting movie. Like the more familiar one, the dialogue is largely straight from the book, so it's almost like watching same movie-a "dueling directors" clash of sorts. I certainly wouldn't pick it over the Bogie version, but I can't help but wish Huston hadn't had to deal with the code. By the way, this came in the three pack along with the original and The Devil Meets a Lady, the middle version. I've seen it before, and you couldn't pay me enough to watch it again.  Edited July 19, 2016 by Jazzmoose double double post post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted July 21, 2016 Report Share Posted July 21, 2016 John Huston double bill. Moulin Rouge (1952) HD copy from tv Freud (1962) Fantastic film. Why is it so hard to obtain ? Dark, moody, incredibly inventive, impressionist filmmaking coupled with a straight forward narrative and powerful avant garde type score The Lynchian flashbacks and dream sequences are amazing, I've watched this twice recently and there's still enough left to appreciate to warrant a third viewing. The best ' previously unseen classic' I've seen in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duaneiac Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 First time for me seeing this classic: There's so much to like about it, beginning with the screenplay by Billy Wilder & Charles Brackett. The two stars were excellent, even if one does not naturally think of Gary Cooper as a comedic actor, and the supporting cast was terrific with legendary character actors like Oscar Homolka, Cuddles Sakall, Dan Duryea, Elisha Cook, Jr. and even a youngish version of the perpetually old Charles Lane. And there's a brief appearance by Roy Eldridge in the Gene Krupa band's scene playing "Drum Boogie". My question is, why was the "G" of MGM producing this picture at RKO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is, why was the "G" of MGM producing this picture at RKO? I've probably watched this one nearly a dozen times over the years, just endlessly enjoyable.  This was an independent production by Samuel Goldwyn, RKO was only the distributor (that's why the credit states; "released through RKO Radio Pictures, Inc").  Here's a Wiki page about Samuel Goldwyn Productions.  It mentions that despite his name being part of "MGM" he never produced films at the studio.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Goldwyn_Productions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Star Trek Beyond (2016, Justin Lin)Â Saw this in IMAX 3-D at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday. Â I don't often spend the extra dough for IMAX screenings but Star Trek is a special occasion. Â A fun, action/adventure film that basically plays out like a big-budget variation of the TV series. Â Heavy on action, light on plot, with many nice character moments. Â Doesn't break any new ground, but in a series this long-running that's not even really a necessity, the fans just want to spend a couple hours with characters they're familiar with. Â It's not as overtly earnest as the second J.J. Abrams film, feeling much more like a popcorn serial entertainment (which is what it really is after all). Â Lin put his action chops from the Fast & Furious series to good use here, the film contains many dizzying action set-pieces. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
