looking very much forward to Grand Budapest Hotel :)
Ellen Degeneres at the Oscars: "Tonight, there are so many different possibilities. Possibility number one: 12 Years a Slave wins Best Picture. Possibility number two: You’re all racists! Now, for our first white presenter, Anne Hathaway!"

The security guard came in this morning and told me he was going to stay up to watch the oscars, so he asked me not to tell him who won, I said "sorry - I really don't care."

Last weekend:
Silk Shoes: South Korean drama with weird comic bits; works in its own peculiar way.
Driving with my Wife's Lover: slow-paced kind of road movie. Sometimes it is funny, but most of the times it is just boring.
Gunda: epic Hindi nonsense, it just proves Bollywood doesn't really care about worldwide cinema and that's why I love it.
Last Action Hero: one of my guilty pleasures. In fact, I still think it is a great film, too often overlooked. It is written especially well.

Enemy Of The State - Frightingly relevant, and prescient. And an entertaining movie.

Last week was this piece: Edes Emma, drága Böbe. A Hungarian film, sad, interesting. Describes the transition after the Communism and the fall of some characters because of it.

You know when you worked all day (say 9, 10 hours in the office) and you need the comfort that only a good friend is capable to give? Since not that many good friends around here, I pick one of my all-time favorite movies and the smile is always back. A practice I'm doing quite often lately but it always works, so who cares, let's do it and chill out. (It also works with books and music, as I was saying somewhere else)
Last night I went back to a film that somehow it is connected to my love for Exotica music and culture: Joe Vs The Volcano. So quirky and plainly dumb in its own funny way, with that volcano nonsense at the end and that superb soundtrack. It's like a well-told tale, but a tale only few might enjoy as I do.

The frightening part (at least with the folks that I know), is that people know they are being tracked (ala GPS) and they just don't care.vic wrote:Enemy Of The State - Frightingly relevant, and prescient. And an entertaining movie.
I *think* Neil Postman got it right when he said:
-HNeil Postman wrote: What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate. In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility.

My weekend:
Viva Las Vegas: Ann-Margret Olsson is so beautiful in this one. Sorry Elvis, she wins. Still, the movie is not that great. Blue Hawaii was a bit better.
The Terror Live: very good South Korean thriller. Despite what other critics say, I liked the ending (and I would have probably done the same...).
Zardoz: a total mess, but so much fun with it.
Austin Powers 1 and 2: I like the first one more than the second one. They are both funny action comedies, and you laugh more if you know 007 movies very well. I avoided these films when they were showed in Italy years ago cause I thought they were not my kind of comedies. I still think I would have loathed them if I'd watched them dubbed though.

^ commenting on the only ones i know: yes, Austin Powers needs to be appreciated in its original proper British to even understand half of the jokes. very funny indeed :)
i like that you also watch the old Elvis movies :)

If you need something on acid, very hard, no censoring, a trip into art movies the Balkan style then watch Sweet Movie and then try to understand the shit. Try to find the uncut version. Though it is nothing for the softies.

I found out the movie is still forbidden in some countries. :) Talk about censorship, haha. Many movies of Dušan Makavajev were already condemned in the former communist Yugoslavia.
Re: Movies, Flicks, Films, Videos, cinematography
Some of my recent views:
BAG IT / FOOD, INC / EARTHLINGS: three interesting documentaries, they taught me really a lot.
CASABLANCA: yep, the old classic. Never watched it before, shame on me. After 70 years, it still is a very great movie.
DEJA VU: despite what many critics say about Tony Scott (especially and sadly after his death), I've been loving his cinema for ages. This is still one of my favorites of his.
AUSTIN POWERS 3: not as good as the first one, but still a bit better than the second one.
