The last movie you watched, part III

When Harry Met Sally

"Sunset Boulevard". I finally watched that famous cult film! I really liked it. Quite scandalous for its time.

I finally got around to watching it a month or two ago, too. It was better than I ever imagined it to be. Really good little film. Glad you enjoyed it as well.

I saw Sunset Blvd. the A.L. Webber musical with Petula Clark.

I watched Ghostbusters 1 & 2 today. Yay for National holidays!!

The one I saw was definitely not a musical.

Blades of Glory - I don't like Will Farrell, but this movie was pretty funny.

Will Arnett's in it, what more do you need?

That's true; I mean, C'MON!

Quarantine.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

It's hard to believe the same actor played Raoul Duke and Captain Jack Sparrow.

I went to see Quantum Of Solace yesterday.
Overall a very good film, tho I thought Casino Royale was a bit better.
The bond films were never character driven, but I found the moments when you could see the development of Bond the most intersting. How he turned from a ruthless killer, not thinking about his kills, to a person more reluctant to kill and how he deals with his feelings for Vesper.

I couldn't get into the first half of the movie. To many action scenes without good reasons. Once the story got clearer and you got follow what Bond was up to it became a much better film. I like his moments with Mathis and the more emotional stuff.

It has more elements of traditional bond films, and especially in the first half it has more action scenes then "Casino Royale". Perhaps that's why suportes of that movie were disapointed by Qantum of Solace, but nowhere goes it overboard like "Die Another Day" does, and it certainly isn't a Pierce Brosnan kind of Bond film. Perhaps why some other critics and fans don't like it.

However I think it's a good film and the right direction for the bond films in the future. No doubt I'll buy the dvd, but I think Ill go see it for a second time. If we get a gun barrel at the begining next time, a bit more of the Bond theme and perhaps a Q like figure next time it would be even more perfect.
Beautiful Bond girls who played their parts well. Certainly above the standards of Denise Richards.

With this direction and Daniel Craig as one of the best bonds, I can't wait for the next Bond film.

Saints and soldiers
Iron man

The credits say that the redhead's full name was Strawberry Fields.

Ooh... that's a great one...

I watched "Sherlock Jr" last night.

There's nothing like a Buster Keaton film. Great flick.

Buster Keator was the greatest actor and director, in my humble opinion.

That's so great that you like him, too. I've always loved his work. Have several of his films in my collection. Got to see Seven Chances on the big screen at a funky little silent movie theater house back in March. THAT was incredible. And I've been on a Buster kick for the last few days for some reason...

In fact...

Our Hospitality - Buster Keaton

Ooh...Buster Keaton! Thanks for reminding me. Think I'll dig out my DVD of "The General" and watch that tonight.

Our Hospitality was the first Keaton movie I watched. My favorite is Steamboat Bill Jr.

Have you seen his early ones with Fatty Arbuckle?

Oohhh... I'm not sure if I've seen that one/not... been a while if I have... I'll have to get that one

And I have seen the ones with Fatty... but... it was a long time ago... loved them, though... (I should look into getting those ones, too... don't have those in my collection yet, either...)

He was absolutely amazing, though. Definitely one of the greats. Just love him.
