Movies From February

Brokeback Mountain (2005) Ang Lee was supposed to be at this showing. He wasn't. Jake & Heath were. And they refused to "reenact" the movie. The kissing part, anyway. Jake sang "Fever Night" for the crowd. A few bars, anyway.

Buffet froid (1979) A dark comedy. VERY dark. And French too.

Camille (1921)

Camille (1936)

Chamade, La (1968) From Francoise Sagan's book. With Catherine Denueve.

Choristes, Les (2004) Extremely good. And touching too. I bawled.

Ciociara, La (1960) AKA Two Women w/ Sophia Loren.

Dentellière, La (1977) AKA The Lacemaker

Dom za vesanje (1988) AKA Time of the Gypsies Emir Kusturica

East of Eden (1955)

Eraserhead (1977) Very strange. See the very bottom of this post.

Final Destination 3 (2006) Perfect Valentine's Day movie.

Genou de Claire, Le (1970) AKA Claire's Knee (Eric Rohmer)

Giant (1956)

Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) w/Writer Grant Haslov who claims that getting drunk is the key to writing a successful screenplay.

In the French Style (1963) Jean Seberg double feature at UCLA

Jacquot de Nantes (1991)

Journal d'un curé de campagne (1951) Diary of a Country Priest

Lilith (1964) second viewing Jean Seberg double feature at UCLA

Ma nuit chez Maud (1969) AKA My Night At Maud’s (Eric Rohmer)

Manderlay (2005) Over the top movie about slavery by a director (von Trier) who has reportedly never set foot in America. Very offensive content! With exceptional performances by almost everyone but Bryce Dallas Howard.

Night Nurse (1931) Barbara Stanwyck again!

Roma, città aperta (1945) AKA Open City

Route de Corinthe, La (1967) AKA Who's Got the Black Box? (yet another Claude Chabrol film)

The Sheltering Sky (1990) This movie was playing at a revival house this month, but I was too cheap and rented the movie for free at the library. I made up for it by seeing a Barbara Stanwyck double feature at the end of the month. See Baby Face & Night Nurse.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)

Vic (2006)

Winter Passing (2005) This wasn’t as great as I had hoped, but I wanted to catch it.

Eraserhead:

Now compare Jack Nance's hairstyle to the Country Priest:

I agree. Too freaky. They could be the same guy. But they aren't.

I saw La Belle et La Bete in French class... I found it actually quite good except the ending was too cheesy for my taste.

Re: Movies From February

excellent! Yeah, I found it weird what the beast turned into. But I was so surprised by it because of how different it was than the Disney version. It was good that it was so different, so I wouldn't be watching the same movie over & over...
