Patricia Barry, is educated, graceful, beautiful, well respected in the industry, but most impressively, apparently very faithful, having been married only once in 1950, and remained married to her spouse until his death in 1998. She is still going strong at the age of 92 which means I still have a chance with her, just as I do with you, and Nadia! :kiss: :angel:Quote:

Driving naked on the PCH through Huntington Beach in "The OC" :devil:
Sorry, but on a naked ride shouldn't the camera have been focused on the driver and his/her facial expressions and sayings? Could have become a nice piece of a cine-verite......:angel:
And now that some guy said my fav genre is soft porn, I suggest to shoot such things when you're on your bike. :devil:
Coming back to the title thread I hope this weekend I'll see Birdman.
Sorry, if you want to see the rest of the narcissistic photo I will have to PM it to you. :angel:
As for naked scootering; it is still a little chilly even in Southern CA. For that activity, but I promise when the weather warms up a little you can have an exclusive viewing of my naked ride home, before it goes viral. However, back on topic, if you, happened to miss it, a classic:

This thread is about movies not photos and anyway it would take you too many Newcastles to ever dare. :pQuote:

I saw Barbarella, and Cat Ballou a long time ago, and fell in love with Jane, and to this day I would crawl three miles over broken glass just to ****-*** in her shadow :angel:Quote:

:laugh: Sorry, I missed Barbarella. But I think I saw Cat Ballou and Barefoot in the Park about 20 times. I liked Jane Fonda too, but Peter was the fav of their family.
Sweetie, I went mountain biking today at a place called Chollas Canyon. I happened to bring my scrub MacKodak with me.Attachment 479 Attachment 477 Attachment 480Guess what I found at the end of the rainbow?Attachment 478

Taz dear, you're so sexxxxxy.........::kiss: :heart:
The fact that the camera was focused again on the wrong target doesn't do you justice. :angryfire:
. But I know that the two deleted messages weren't your usual posts under the influence but witty tricks to stir my imagination. :angel:
OK, enough with the jokes and let's go back to the movies. They say that Birdman is a must see so I saw it. Technically it's more than correct and the actors play very well. But nothing more from my point of view.
After being severely criticisezed by keysersoze, this movie offered me a few petty satisfactions. Because this movie is also*pointing a finger to the Holliwood film industry that has become a sort of *machinery of sequels*in search of more and more money, , to the actors that comfortably accept this financial game and give up serious projects, to the elitist snobism of Broadway, to the impact of the social networks and to the public lack of interest for real art and even the incapacity of this public to perceive art.
Taz, hands off of my little gadjo!
It's February 2nd so it would be a great day to watch one of my favorite comedies, Groundhog Day :laugh:... if only I had the time.
TBH those were a double post, and a triple post. I was trying to edit out the one attachment that was not focused, and I screwed up and it had reposted twice before I had realized it. No drinking this weekend, just old and confused, but nice conspiracy theory. :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

I also had a serious contribution at little Laura's story.:angel:
This week movie is another Cannes 2014 success: Le meraviglie ( The wonders) by the young Italian director Alice Rohnwacher. It's about a strange family that live in a bee farm and by far the most interesting character is the oldest daughter. The real "meraviglia" of this movie isn't Monica Bellucci ( who has a short part ) but the little girl Maria Alexandra Lungu ( Romanian origin, BTW :laugh: ).
There's no much action on the screen but I really enjoyed the movie, there's nothing thrilling but I felt involved in the tough existence of those people.
A special mention for a song in the movie. Unfortunately I couldn't find out who's singing.
As a minus - It's no sex scene during the movie. :s Just the father wearing only his underwear for about 50℅ of the time.
Some of you use to watch old movies. Last week I got to rewatch ( probably for the millionth time :laugh:) All about Eve, a great movie in my opinion.
I watched a kooky little movie from 1968 called "Sol Madrid". It was kind of dumb, I starred David McCallum, and Stella Stevens :love:,
but it co-starred three of my fav character actors; Rip Torn, Ricardo Mantlban, and Telly Savalas. Telly is the best, "Who loves ya' baby?". It's about a Government narc Sol Madrid (David McCallum), that goes down to Mexico to bust a Mafia run cocaine operation, He has to take high end hooker Stevens with him. I enjoyed this movie. on TCM. :)
Tonight it is The Philadelphia Story, and Citizen Kane. Seen them both numerous times so I'll look for alternatives. ;)
Last night watch first time since the 50s one of the greatest films of all times: John Ford's "The Searchers".
Blown away.. every shot a masterpiece...complex story. Wonder full..
Gadjo Dilo you must watch it.....once we did make movies worth a damn in America...
Yeah, old american movies are great. I guess my ''problems'' with american movies started with the end of the 90"s productions,
I don't think I've ever watched The Searchers. But I saw and liked a lot of John Ford's movies: Stagecoach, The grapes of wrath, My darling Clementine, The man who shot Liberty Valance, Cheyenne autumn,How green was my valley, Fort Apache.
Not even sure how I found it (or the time to watch it), but I sat down long enough on Saturday to watch The Philadelphia Story. It's a well acted and very witty movie from 1940, starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and James Stewart. Nothing life changing about it, but the script and the acting were simply amazing. And considering that I only knew her from later in life, Katharine Hepburn was quite fetching when she was younger.
As has been mentioned in this thread, what shocks me when I watch certain old movies (foreign and domestic) is that they tend to rely on story and acting and not as much on special effects and shock value. Too many modern movies (and TV shows) are written based on the rules of political correctness and test audiences = unwatchable garbage.
:stareup: I re-watched It also dawg. A thoroughly entertaining, well acted, funny movie. Kate, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, and also Ruth Hussey, all put in great performances. Of course my fav character is Uncle Willie. :angel:
Got to love TCM!
Taz, I guess one benefit to loving (good) movies, but hating what they have become now, is we're forced to seek out great movies from the past.
I really liked American Sniper (but hated The Hurt Locker with a passion) and that's the first popular movie I've enjoyed in probably ten years.
Yep, TCM for the win!
Isn't it funny? This thread was meant for discussing the latest movie releases and we keep talking about the old movies....
Also funny is that I never watch TCM ( I get this channel only between 10 pm and 6 am).
You made me curious about this Philly Story and I found it online with Romanian subtitles. It's too late to watch it now but definitely I'll do it these days. Also find the Searchers online.
About Katherine Hepburn, I think she was a great actress but always had a sort of old look. Loved her in The African Queen and in The Rainmaker ( what movies....what actors.....)
And now surprise, surprise....On one of our public television channels we'll have The Mummy with Boris Karloff. As a youngster I dreamt of watching one of these old horror movies. Wonder if I'll get scared.....
Gadjo dilo, I didn't know this was for new stuff so I looked and here is the first post:Quote:

The Mummy won't scare too...too much..
I have been watching movies from all over the world for well 60 years but in recent years with wikipedia and you-tube there is so much to be discovered...
I have been delighted and surprised at the work of "the Archers" ...a partnership of English Michael Power and the Hungarian/English emeric pressburger..
See
Every one of those are all wonderful--and every one different...Quote:
Michael Latham Powell (30 September 1905 – 19 February 1990) was a renowned English film director, celebrated for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger. Through their production company "The Archers", they together wrote, produced and directed a series of classic British films, notably 49th Parallel (1941), The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), A Matter of Life and Death (1946, also called Stairway to Heaven), Black Narcissus (1947), The Red Shoes (1948), and The Tales of Hoffmann (1951)
I can barely think of "A Matter of Life and Death" without choking up, (even now just writing this I have to pause) ...so creative, so exciting, and for an lifetime romantic so touching..
Another wonderful film is:
I Know Where I'm Going! in all these you have to loosen your mind and put yourself into the time they were released---and really look at all the various messages...
Trust me!
I watched a French crime drama , The Crimson Rivers (Jean Reno) on the week-end..as usual nothing worth watching on tv channels (apart from endless runs of Transporter/former, Ong Bak, Twilight, Resident Evil and bullshit like that) but found this...Not great plot wise but it kept me captivated with the acting/cinematography and overall pace....Actually I haven't watched hundreds of them but the French do know how to make movies!
Just finished watching The mummy. Not scary at all. And quite entertaining for a 1932 production. More watchable than the 1999 version.:devil:
Have you ever seen a north korean movie?Quote:

I've only seen that once or twice when I was young, and still remember it to this day. Without a doubt a stand out movie, especially for the era it was filmed in.Quote:

NOBODY in that theater even budged until the credits were almost completely over, and it was dead silent. I heard one woman on the way out say "I didn't know if I should clap or continue crying".
Gadjo dilo, I know you have expressed that you often don't care for "mainstream" US movies.... but I'd bet money that you would appreciate that film.
Well, there's not a total boycott of american movies. Sometimes I watch them if they seem interesting or are recommended by people who share my taste. If you confirm it's a good one I'll give it a try in case it will be broadcasted in “my” theatre or I might watch it online.Quote:

I have become very enthusiastic about a romanian movie called Aferim and I hope I'll have the chance to watch it. These days it was released at the Berlin Film Festival, one of the most prestigious în the world, and it's a serious pretender of the big prize- The Golden Bear.
Since keysersoze asked what's the role of movie critics I come again and say that a review may make you interested în watching a production. And so far these movie has great reviews:

And here's the trailer of the movie:

He likes looking at the type of personality that is drawn to it and especially the impact it has on the people that get involved who are internally scarred for life.Quote:

Bradley Cooper is also in 'Aloha', seems lighter material than 'American Sniper'.
http://youtu.be/O3mf_ewjc7s trailer
http://youtu.be/28r87OzTVeo (Good Kill trailer) - drone movie from Andrew Niccol/ Ethan Hawke - will probably create a bit of discussion. I wonder if Top Gun 2 will be the same or just a whizz bang movie. The drone pilot who 'spoke out' had a reported tally of 1626 , ten times Kyle's. Long term drone pilots must have some large tallies.

http://youtu.be/ji8Tsuj3u0c (Housebound trailer -nz horror comedy)there is probably too much kiwi vernacular in this movie for a wide release - therefore it will get a Hollywood/ new line remake.
