NUDE NUNS WITH BIG GUNS (2010)

What the ...........??

Was it not what you expected?

North by Northwest

What is there to say? Perfect movie on every level. Witty, daring, inventive, simple, fun, beautiful, endearing, classic. This throws out the rule book and decides to have a little bit of fun with us all.

The Criterion CLV edition features the original mono soundtrack in PCM and is in every way superior to the 5.1 remix. You can't go back once you've heard this original mix. Image is opened a bit to a 1.75:1 framing and the color looks very natural if a bit off form the recent restoration.

41 prairie stops out of 4 balls. No I didn't steal Laura's Mercedes!

Brave

Possibly contains Disney's first POV boob-diving sequence.  Movies really need more of these.

I hear 005 watched John Carter...

John Carter

Dear Xhonzi,

Allow me to take this opportunity to apologize to you and everyone else who enjoyed this movie in theaters and told me to see it. I honestly feel bad for not supporting this movie when it really mattered, for now we'll never get a sequel.

I was unsure watching it at first, it was confusing at first, but by the time it got going I was along for the ride. It was well made, decently acted, with gorgeous visual effects.

I am genuinely sorry for not listening to you. You would have thought I learned after Inception.

I will never not listen to you again, xhonzi.


Sincerely,

Five

I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means, does it?

 

Yes.  It does.  It really, really does.  As Dominic says, "cleavage-diving" might be a more appropriate term.

Just got back from this. Wow. That was one awesome movie. Going in I thought this was probably going to be low budget and corny. I hadn't watched a trailer for it beforehand, just saw the poster. This movie was off the rails. It was a huge film that balanced everything almost perfectly. It captured the time period perfectly, the actor they got to play Abe was great. I really can't think of anything to complain about. It had its corny elements of course but they're easily forgiven. Fun flick.

My girlfriend, who was a huge fan of the book, hated that movie.  She said that, not only did it not follow the book in any way, shape, or form, but that it was completely incomprehensible to anyone who hadn't read it.  Indeed, she said several members of the group she saw it with kept turning and asking what the hell was going on.

Story about a Japanese boy taking care of his little sister during the American air raids on Japan during WWII. I cried.

Everybody cries during that. I did and I don't tear up very much. Genuinely emotional. If there was ever a movie to point to to say that animation is art.

Saboteur (1942)

I love this movie. I love every single jam-packed inventive second of this gleefully B-grade wrong man thriller. Everything being on a lower scale helps the story seem more realistic, especially the use of non major stars in the lead roles. Liberal borrowing from the structure of his own 39 Steps allows Hitchcock to run rampant with a simply enjoyable great movie. No, it's not as good as Foreign Correspondent or The 39 Steps. But it is a chance for Hitchcock to get away from the controlling Selznick and his lavish overdone extravaganzas. What this film really is is the link between the British Hitchcock period and Foreign Correspondent with the Americana of Shadow of a Doubt.

4 balls out of 4. Classic but largely forgotten today.
