  1. I think it goes without saying that I'd never think that about Chabrol. Here's the last word- http://www.rogerebert.com/scanners/i-saw-a-rohmer-film-once-the-truth-behind-the-night-moves-meme
  2. I'm afraid Rohmer is lost on me. I agree with the Gene Hackman line from ' Night Moves '. I've tried rewatching his films over the years , always thinking that age will improve my appreciation. I hasn't worked and I've abandoned him as a lost cause.
  3. Bill Withers Johnny Paycheck Donna Summers
  4. Madame X - David Lowell Rich (1966) Trashy tearjerker with a good perfomance by Lana Turner. Not without it's moments and an entertaining enough way to pass a couple of hours.
  5. Christopher Lambert Swingin' Shepherd Old Cowhand
  6. The Hermit Of Misty Mountain The Misty Miss Christy Chrissie Hynde
  7. Rewatched 20th Century Women. Great film.
  8. Barry Humphries Barry McKenzie Bruce & Sheila
  9. Portrait In Black - Michael Gordon (1960) Wall to wall melodramatic cliche, scenery chewing leads with almost zero on screen chemistry. The appearance of the asiatic looking maid, who played no significant part in the narrative, was accompanied each time by daft Japanese sounding music. Although it has similar visual flourishes to Douglas Sirk, it just proves how great he was and how poor this director is. For all that I quite enjoyed it, as an Airplane type comedy. I like All That Money Can Buy & The Devil & Daniel Webster and have seen them both several times. Diva didn't do anything for me. Like Le Plaisir very much. One of the pleasures of digital recordings is the freedom to stop the film and have doze. I do it quite often.
  10. The Third Secret - Charles Crichton (1964) Nice B&W widescreen and moody music. Looked good on paper but was boring and rather pointless. I kept wondering what I was missing.
  11. Fiona Apple Snakecharmer Gunter Grass
  12. Red Under The Bed Bull In A China Shop Pandemonium Donnie
  13. Raymond Carver Gene Hackman Steve Cropper
  14. Someone To Watch Over Me - Ridley Scott (1987)
  15. Gregory Peck Peter Piper Art Pepper
  16. Feud : Bette & Joan - Ryan Murphy Loved the first episode. Susan Sarandon really nails Bette Davis. 24 Legacy Unmitigated disaster. No redeeming factors, amateur hour.
  17. Michael Finnigan James Joyce Dubliners
  18. Thelma & Louise - Ridley Scott (1991)
  19. Maybe I have a minority opinion but I found it all very silly and pointless. How are you getting on with Legion? I've no idea what's happening most of the time but it's visually arresting and more-ish.
  20. Frederic Chopin Eldridge Cleaver Norma Shearer
  21. Spotty Muldoon Lorna Doone Michael Doonesbury
  22. Pol Pot Shashi Kapoor Little Weed
