Friday, two in and two out:

Paris, Je T'Aime - very enjoyable, only three of the shorts I didn't care for (Tykwer, Payne, and Suwa), though each had redeeming bits. Most enjoyed Schmitz, Van Sant, and Depardieu & Aubertin.   

The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai - great pink film update of Strangelove, though this one works its anti-war, anti-phallic critique through theme of rape culture.

The Last Laugh - really didn't like it.  On top of being somewhat bored with it, the epilogue of gaining wealth and sharing with the less fortunate was crap.

Orlando - I need to watch this one again when I am more attentive.  I quite enjoyed the film, but great appreciation came with about 20ish minutes remaining.  Great commentary on sex, gender, and pleasure.
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

I found Orlando to be as pleasing to eye and ear as it was pleasing/stimulating to my mind.  The music is perfect for the film.
The heads. You're looking at the heads. Sometimes he goes too far. He's the first one to admit it.

Tonight I am going down my favorite theater to watch a double feature of Bicycle Thieves & Umberto D. Let me just say There Will Be Tears!

What a fabulous double bill!  Wish I could experience that.  What's the theatre?

Brazil - I absolutely loved this film.  That someone would even think of butchering this masterpiece is absurd.  Gilliam is a genius.  This might even make my top 10!

Hardbodies 2- I'm not sure if it's bad or so bad it's good, but I now long to see Hardbodies again...

The Woodsman-  Excellent movie.  Difficult subject matter but worth the effort of getting involved in the story.  All the acting is great especially Kevin Bacon.  Who knew he could be such a powerful actor?

Thanks to my local Revival Theater, I just caught a double feature of Bicycle Thieves & Umberto D. Although I have seen both films before, A big screen viewing is always like a first viewing.
