Superman Returns (Singer, 2006)

Problematic, but enjoyable. I still don't know why they wanted to spring-board off the first two Superman films. Nevertheless, it was Superman, and I came out of the cinema feeling pretty fantastic. You can read my official review here.

Bonnie Scotland (1935)
I loved this Laurel and Hardy movie. T’was very funny with their brand of physical humor and gags...with a big laugh at the end. The commentary with Leonard Maltin and Richard W. Bann was equally great with alot of interesting tidbits about L&H and all of the supporting cast members as well. Very well done and interesting.

If a Man Answers (1962)
I liked this movie alot. Very fun. The first half spends alot of time setting itself up, but the last half is very funny. Nice cast too with Sandra Dee, Bobby Darin, Micheline Presle, Cesar Romero and Stefanie Powers. The movie has the feel of a Doris Day/Rock Hudson movie.

I could definately see this being updated, revamped and redone. It would be perfect for someone like Reese Witherspoon. The concept of a young newlywed using a puppy training book as a guide to handle her husband...and the effects of her mother’s advice is a real hoot.


Lust for Life (1956)
I loved it. Kirk Douglas was wonderful as Van Gogh and it followed his life pretty faithfully. I was also impressed with Anthony Quinn as Gauguin. I had forgotten that they had been friends at one time. The movie made me want to go back and re-read my art history book on Van Gogh's life.

One, Two, Three (1961)
I finally saw this and it was great fun. Cagney was perfect as was the writing with alot of great lines. The time period was pretty interesting too.

Failure to Launch (2006)
Very cute date movie...and I liked the cast alot. I loved Zooey Deschanel, Justin Bartha and Kathy Bates inparticular.

Oh i love dis film. Beautiful score.
Oh i love dis film too.

Six Days, Seven Nights (Reitman, 1998)

Not particularly engaging, but really fun. Excellent chemistry between Anne Heche and Harrison Ford. The island location is really nice, but it isn't shown off enough. Yeah.

Fallen Angel (1945)
I liked this alot. The cast was solid. Loved Dana Andrews as the con man and Linda Darnell was perfect as the hard, self-centered beauty. She usually plays the good girl, but here she was convincing as girl from the wrong side of the tracks playing every angle. Alice Faye was ok, but a little stiff. I couldn't believe her character could fall so easily for Andrews, but it didn't spoil the story for me.

O. C. California, started the second season.

Apart from a few old ones (Full Metal Jacket, Goodfellas, A Clockwork Orange) the latest new one is...

ahem... thanks!

just got done watching the Station Agent--this was a feel-good one for me (a smart person would wait til the end of the day to list all the movies they watch on a Saturday afternoon but i am kind of digging at it with an ice pick).

i'm not good at those... i just like reading them. Strummer, you should do one. you're excellent with words.

um.... okay.

Thanks but I can't. I haven't seen either film. It's true that I haven't written a review in a long time, but I have several short stories in various stages of completion (1st and 2nd drafts mostly) that I'll send you if you're interested.
