Gran Torino-

Felt like eastwood was channeling Seedy and Unca Butt.
Yeah.  When he just growled at that kid, that was solid gold.  I burst out laughing right there.  Almost as good as Harrison Ford screaming at the little girl in Hollywood Homicide.

It was difficult to watch Gran Torino without that gauze of Languish in jokes that is draped over it.

watched "Dear Zachary" last night. Doc about an apparently awesome guy who gets murdered by the woman bearing his unborn son. Things get worse for his family from there. :cry: heartwrenching and messed up. If you don't think there's evil in the world. Look no further than the shores of Newfoundland.

Oh please, that has been used before. Look at Wrath - the Admiral, on Earth, goes out for a quick training cruise and Oops! Khan take reliant and Genesis, and there is nobody else in the entire area that can possibly respond....
Its been forever since I saw that...So this was in the vicinity of Earth?
Messed up for them to leave the capital undefended....
But sitll, no ships that can respond is a lot better than all our ships are in one other place. We only have one fleet.

watched "Filth & Wisdom" purportedly directed by Madonna.  It's ok.. has that Gogol Bordello guy in it, giving it a bit of a Borat tinge. Basically he plays himself, (annoyingly talking to the camera occasionally) living with two single gals, has the hots for one, hires himself out between gigs as a role-playing Man-Whore in the funniest sequences in the movie. Richard E. Grant has an oddly blah turn as a blind self loathing poet.

The whole thing plays like an 80's brit comedy by Bill Forsythe or someone. worth a larf or two, nothing more. Weirdly (and better for it) Un-ambitious first film for Madge.

These two points are contradictory.

That's why I used the word "purportedly".

Okay, I gotta watch this damned movie.  Putting it at the top of the Netflix queue.

I decided to watch a few movies I meant to watch when we got them at the store ages ago, but never got around to.

1st up is The Fountain by Darin Aronofsky. I heard all these crap reviews, and The customers who dug it were assholes. Yet I was always enticed by the trailers.

Turns out I quite liked it. The visuals are stunning in and out of HD. The story is really easy to follow, despite seeming tough in the first part. It all comes together nicely in a very literate way. Almost more of a novel than a film... with the parallel storylines in different times.

Also I thought Jackman & Weisz had really great chemistry. Good romance with trippy visuals. Just what I was in the mood for.

I like that they got to use Spanish He-111 and Me-109 for the movie.

My favorite scene of the movie is the one with the Polish squadron:

I watched a loverly little Quebecois film last night : "It's not me I Swear".

Beautifully shot in rural PQ is this great paean to growing in the late 60's early 70's. A young boy's home is "broken" by separation, usual family strife. He does many "bad" things in reaction. most silly, some grave. Great child acting from kids who in a few years will become crappy teen actors.

wonderfully dark yet comic realistic portrayal of small town life. Except for everyone speaking french, it echoes my own childhood very closely.

Highly recommended.
