I watched Rogue One for the second time tonight. I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time at the cinema.

Jaws
The movie is hard to criticize. No fat, not a word, not a scene too much. Great effects. Thrilling despite having watched it a few years ago. The USS Indianapolis moment is still haunting.

[Red Robe Jaldari]

Ramayya Vasthavayya 2013

It was cray cray.

[Chubistian]

Rome, Open City. I liked it, though the end was too preachy compared to the more subtle plot that goes for most of the movie

This film was on our list when I did Film Studies many years ago. Do you know the story behind how it was filmed?

They were filming just after the Nazis had been driven out of Rome and as the Alllies were occupying Rome. They had limited resources and were filming on the fly, imporvising scenes. Most of the actors are non-professional with the exception of Fabrizi and Magnani. They had to scrounge for film stock and the bad film processing gave it that cheap look.

Rossellini was making a movie--originally supposed to be two short documentaries--based on two real life events from the war and advocated by their main investor--an old lady--but they were always running short of money to finish the movie. So it's a miracle that it got made at all.

I would liken this to an early Dogma movie. In that it's establishing certain rules for Neo-Realism but these rules are being made up as they go along, due to the limitations of the moment.

Rise and Dawn of, as well as War For, the Planet of the Apes. This is such an amazing trilogy. Andy Serkis as Caesar is just an absolutely perfect character.

[Za Waldo]

Those new Planet of the Apes movies probably make up the best movie movie series of the last six years.

One of the most perfect movies I've ever seen.

The older I get, the more impressed I am with such economy of storytelling.

The Samurai Trilogy(1954-56) starring Toshiro Mifune

It's about the legendary samurai Musashi Miyamoto(played by Mifune).



They're pretty movies with good soundtracks and some nice actions scenes. However, Musashi's journey from a wild rogue to a renowned swordsman isn't very interesting, and all the women are portrayed as weak-willed and deceitful.

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope for the zillionth time.

[Jim Kelly]

I have a feeling that if STAR WARS was going to get another title when it came out in 1977, it wouldn't have been A NEW HOPE. Who would go to see a movie with that title?

Mind you I thought STAR WARS itself was not a great title at the time. It didn't sound very special.

THE SCOUNDREL, THE PRINCESS AND THE FARM BOY would be misleading--sounds like the title of a bodice-ripper. A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY has the right ring to it.

[The Whovian]

Watched "Housebound" last night on Netflix. Very entertaining movie. It's like the British version of 'Disturbia'.
