I really need to see what was called Season of the Witch when I watched it again. I saw it so long ago that the memory is too hazy to rely much on and I was still just a pup, so my impressions were raw rather than filed away by concept or name, but the impression was a strongly positive one at the t...

Man, this is not my week for polls. I know Edwards has his fans within the critical community, but I'm definitely not part of that crowd. I think the only reason I've watched as many of his movies as I have is somewhere between trying to figure out if I'm wrong and hate watching to re-verify I'm not...

That's just bizarre and idiotic. It's not like his movies have been that popular or so critically successful for that to make sense. I mean some have done well enough in box office and some decent notices for Parker to have a little attention, deserved or np, but there's no good reason at all for hi...

oh. crap. yeah I forgot, another of the seen more than I like to admit directors rather than an enthusiasm, but here ya go.

I guess I'm done viewing, so I'll post my list later tonight at work, since I don't have time right now.

Used Cars Contact Flight Back to the Future Forrest Gump Beowulf There's a lurking low misanthropic cynicism under so many of his movies that's really irksome. Less for existing as such necessarily, then for being so outwardly directed while refusing self-critique. Milos Forman is the fancy-pants Eu...

Heh. Blowing the lid off another movie scandal. Your investigative work is tops Jiri!

Must not like musicals much. Sidney was the competent go to guy for a lot of 'em and a few slightly swashy bucklers, close to musicals in their type of showbizzy spectacle. Hard to pick between a lot of them really.

The sorceress is great! (I didn't wanna go with witch after google translate pulled sorceress as an option since witch seems so old fashioned. Heh.) Anyway, she's fun to watch be all meh shrug okay if that's what you wanna do about things while the chambermaid is getting into the whole deal up until...

It is done. Kinda a long weird mess of posts for those frickin' character limits, but to get giffy wid it I guess that's what ya gotta do.

I will adjust my to watch list accordingly!

I really dug Eagle Shooting Heroes when I saw it, but the memory has unfortunately faded a fair bit since then so I'll need to rewatch it sometime, probably not soon though since I'm more gung ho on 2021 and 1911 right now. And Shammi's the best, so I'll have to check that one out too sometime, when...

Bordwell's great for certain things like tracking the history of blocking in films and such, so I'm happy to read him on that. The Blom film I've watched for the year, The Dangerous age had that mix of formally clever, but situationally daft staging, where the woman twice gets busted getting her fli...

This is one of those Twitter things I totally didn't really know about. I mean, sure, I figured there'd be posts about celebrity deaths, but I had no idea what excitement there was in the daily anticipation of who'd be next in the death feed and what stream of content there'd be posted to remember t...

I'll add a fifth if needed, but probably won't make much difference unless there's a spot short.

And then Stratton's younger sister, without forgetting Cybill Shepherd in there too. Truly a man of refined taste.

It's good to see they used science in this effort. By experiments on his own perfectly healthy children, Wienholt proved that there are natural forces existing whose stimulations are never perceived in waking life: he made passes over the face and neck of his son with an iron key at the distance of ...

A circumstance where I felt need to actually cast a vote for Rhinestone is a remarkable one indeed.

It only seems like magic because cops are so advanced in their psychological training, way ahead of the rest of us mere mortals who might feel uncertain about questions of character and action. Cops see right through that smoke screen and are expert in fereting out the real motivations behind the cr...

I'm sorta torn on that, I mean part of it is likely just because we sorta know how things turn out, so people are looking for the small steps that get us there, but there is also some real excitement for me in seeing someone figure out a new way to show something, so there can be a mix of feelings i...

Yeah, I've seen ten, so McTierman isn't a problem from my end, at least in numbers of movies seen. Heh.

Might be tough to get a full top ten though since there could be a couple that don't get votes, but we'll see, maybe Rollerball has some quiet admirers.

Maybe not everything, but a lot of neat stuff this year. I suspect some of the more outrageous items came from audiences getting tired of the routine stuff and looking for more exotic fare, which was easier in to do in subject matter than craft for most still, but improving quickly in the latter.
