I Was Just Watching a Movie ...: I've Just Seen: Ninotchka (1939)
http://iwasjustwatchingamovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/ive-just-seen-ninotchka-1939.html
I Was Just Watching a Movie . Saturday, 15 August 2015. I've Just Seen: Ninotchka (1939). I loved this film. No surprise really: it's a romantic comedy from '30s/'40s Hollywood, directed by one of the best directors of the genre. Ninotchka. Unless you hate romantic comedies, black-and-white films or subversive portrayals of politcal philosophies, you should enjoy this film. 15 August 2015 at 09:08. Even if there was nothing else to the movie than Garbos hardline communist it would still be a wonderful mo...

I Was Just Watching a Movie ...: I've Just Seen: Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)
http://iwasjustwatchingamovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/ive-just-seen-mission-impossible-rogue.html
I Was Just Watching a Movie . Friday, 14 August 2015. I've Just Seen: Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015). Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. I remember seeing the first two Mission: Impossible. Films many, many years ago. I did find the first one fun and exciting, with the vault scene a highlight. Of the second film, I only remember clocking the Sydney landmarks featured in the film ('hey, the Sydney Opera House! I was only twelve.). Based on Rogue Nation. As my favourite action film, Rogue Nation.

I Was Just Watching a Movie . Sunday, 30 August 2015. I've Just Seen: Man on Wire (2008). I am terrified of heights. I barely coped walking across the Harbour Bridge (not over the arches, just across the flat part! I do enjoy looking out at beautiful scenery, be it from tall buildings or cliff tops, but one look straight down and I suddenly feel incredibly unstable (and begin internally freaking out! Is partly a love letter to these two buildings. This is a wonderful, awe-inspiring documentary. It sp...

I Was Just Watching a Movie ...: I've Just Seen: Night of the Living Dead (1968)
http://iwasjustwatchingamovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/ive-just-seen-night-of-living-dead-1968.html
I Was Just Watching a Movie . Friday, 14 August 2015. I've Just Seen: Night of the Living Dead (1968). Night of the Living Dead. Director: George A. Romero. I started watching Night of the Living Dead. And was concerned that it would turnout to have aged terribly. The signs weren't great: the cinematography was grainy and the acting from Barbra (Judith O'Dea) was incredibly hammy. Would this be as unintentionally comic as Invaders From Mars. How modern horror fans would view this film is something I cann...

I Was Just Watching a Movie ...: I've Just Seen: The Deep Blue Sea (2011)
http://iwasjustwatchingamovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/ive-just-seen-deep-blue-sea-2011.html
I Was Just Watching a Movie . Wednesday, 12 August 2015. I've Just Seen: The Deep Blue Sea (2011). The Deep Blue Sea. Plots like this run the risk of seeming melodramatic (which, for me at least, can be a problem); why doesn't Hester just rid herself of both men and start again? Or simply get over it, and stay with her husband, who does care for her? The Deep Blue Sea. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I blog about my two favourite things: films and Jane Austen.

I Was Just Watching a Movie ...: I've Just Seen: Chokher Bali (2003)
http://iwasjustwatchingamovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/ive-just-seen-chokher-bali-2003.html
I Was Just Watching a Movie . Thursday, 13 August 2015. I've Just Seen: Chokher Bali (2003). Set in early 20th century India, the story of Chokher Bali. Revolves around the lives of widows who, after their husband's death, begin living an ascetic life. Remarriage if frowned upon, a heavy price for those widowed young. This is the case for Binodini, a widow after one year of marriage. She is similar to Hester Collyer in The Deep Blue Sea. As well, knows how to get the best from Rai. Subscribe to: Post Com...

I Was Just Watching a Movie ...: I've Just Seen: It Happened One Night (1934)
http://iwasjustwatchingamovie.blogspot.com/2015/08/ive-just-seen-it-happened-one-night-1934.html
I Was Just Watching a Movie . Tuesday, 11 August 2015. I've Just Seen: It Happened One Night (1934). It Happened One Night. There are so many scenes in the film that are a joy: that one, the striptease, the Walls of Jericho, the hitchhiking demonstration, the 'Quit Bawlin' dialogue, all of it is wonderful. The fact that it is Pre-Code makes this film all the more interesting: a year or two later and the striptease scene would not have been allowed. First, so that It Happened One Night. Ive Just Seen: Rab...

Lindsey's Film Odyssey: March 2015
http://lindseywatchesfilms.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. The Grapes of Wrath (1940). Today is Cesar Chavez Day! Chavez worked hard to promote fair conditions for workers and was famous for organizing a grape strike. So today, we're watching. The Grapes of Wrath. To see just how bad things were for migrant workers back then. There's no computers, no facebook, no way for the police to track him at all, except for the paper trail that he himself is creating! Fool needs to be in jail! This movie shows that even though things were really ba...

Lindsey's Film Odyssey: À bout de soufflé (Breathless) (1960)
http://lindseywatchesfilms.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-bout-de-souffle-breathless-1960.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. À bout de soufflé (Breathless) (1960). Today's film is À bout de soufflé (Breathless). I honestly did not like this film. It begins with a car thief (Michel) shooting a cop and fleeing to Paris. He visits his sort-of girlfriend, an American named Patricia who sells newspapers on the street. Patricia starts off with "boo hoo I think I might be pregnant but I'm not going to make sure or even mention it again for the rest of the film". Wasn't she supposed to go to the doctor? Complet...
