Viewed in June
A Love Song for Bobby Long - I liked this a lot. Travolta is such a good actor, and Scarlett Johanssen shows some emotion here. A tragically sad story of finding your family.
Venus Beauty Institute - a not very good French film about a woman who works in a cosmetic store
The Merchant of Venice - hoo hah! Pacino chases this down trying to kill it; an interesting version of what is usually played as a comedy
Viva Maria - what a hoot! Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau as show girls/ bandits in the Mexican frontier; quite humorous
Gladiator - well, we'd never seen it. I could have lived without having done. Joaquin Phoenix played the evil character well, but the cgi violence was beyond disgusting and gratituitous
Dogfight - hadn't seen this one in a long while. Lili Taylor looked so young, and River, ah, man, what a waste.
Unforgiven - don't usually care for westerns, but this one is so good. Eastwood tells such a damned good story.
After seeing the Revenge of the Sith - ugh! The dialogue! Ugh! The same old light sabers! - we decided we wanted to watch the originals. Luckily friends of ours have the box set from the mid-90s, so we watched all three. In a
row! Star Wars; The Empire Strikes Back; Return of the Jedi
Titanic - hated the hype at the time, but this is actually a pretty good movie
Roger Dodger - Campbell Scott as a rude pig whose young nephew unexpectedly shows up for a visit
The Bride Wore Black - Jeanne Moreau has some business to attend to!
Mr and Mrs Smith - what a treat! This was a lot of fun.
Cinderella Man - too sappy, and they made Max Baer into an evil dude. Shame on you, Ron Howard!
Batman Begins - ah, I loved it. And I hope he really does keep going and redoes the Joker movie.
National Treasure - enjoyable caper with Nic Cage
The Day the Earth Stood Still - great 50s B movie!
Close Encounters of the Third Kind - hadn't seen this in years! I remember not really liking it when it came out (in my defense, I was nine years old) but really enjoyed it this time.
