Am now watching "Julie and Julia" which I borrowed from my mother. Its actually quite entertaining. Also Stanley Tucci has a really nice Fedora in this movie. (He plays Julia Child's husband and i think they are in the 50's)

Last movie watched in a theatre was, "Sherlock Holmes" with Robert Downey and Jude Law. I'm a self admitted Sherlockian and I loved the movie. :eusa_clap

Stylish, tho stylized, boxing drama that was the first starring role for 20yo William Holden, so young he is barely recognizable except for his unusually mature voice. He must choose among his talents on the violin, the love of Barbara Stanwyck, or a promising ring career under promoter Adolphe Menjou.

We brought a friend home from an art opening last night, and after a bit of wine and a fine taste of Patron coffee tequila (gorgeous!), we showed her "Romance and Cigarettes." John Turturro and the Coens, along with James Gandolfini, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Susan Sarandon, a very tartiferous Kate Winslet, have created a film that can't really be accurately described.
The only problem is it's so funny and entertaining that I always seem to forget about the poignant ending. Made our friend cry. :(
But I still think she enjoyed it.

Took my night off last night with "It's A Great Life," a 1930 MGM musical marking the only starring role for the legendary Duncan Sisters. If I were short and blonde and had an even crankier disposition than I do, Rosetta Duncan would be my new role model -- she spends the whole picture snarling and sneering at Lawrence Gray, which I suppose is the only reasonable thing to do if you find yourself alone in a room with him, with his whiny, foot-stomping, stop-upstaging-me-you-awful-woman personality. No wonder she preferred Jed Prouty.

Seriously, though, the dramatic portions of the picture are the weak point -- but the musical numbers, if you like the Duncans' style of hokum harmony, are excellent. "Sailing On A Sunbeam," with its bizarre chorus-girls-sliding-down-giant-slippery-slides finale, has to be my all-time favorite Technicolor musical number of the early-talkie era.

Thanks! Yes, it's my jacket, and I did the painting on it. The jacket is a no name A-2 repro that was custom made for me. (this was way before I learned about Eastmans, Aeros, GWs, RMJ, RMZ, etc. on the VLJ forum) I attended a luncheon for the Flying Tigers and had 8 of them autograph the jacket. You can see their autographs in gold above the pin-up girl.

Chan-wook Park's Thirst.
An excellent entry in the very lame vampire genre. I might be doing the film a disservice to classify it as such. Just check it out..
Watch it after the kiddies are asleep. This isn't your teenage daughter's vampire film.

This offering from late 1940 is supposedly close to being historically accurate. Kit Carson is played by Olivia de Havilland, Errol Flynn as Jeb Stuart, Raynond Massey as John Brown and, other than some dude by the name of Reagan trying to be Custer, a pretty much all-star cast.
A very good silver-screen offering :eusa_clap

I love Park Chan-wook, notably The Vengeance Trilogy.

Lured, with George Sanders, Lucille Ball, Charles Coburn, and Boris Karloff. Sort of London noir, with Karloff's billing a ringer, so's you'd think it was some sort of chiller. Don't be fooled...

Part police procedural, part whodunit, sort of fun. It's almost like it doesn't know what to be.

Definite rental for Lucy fans and noiristas.

Yet that some dude named Reagan is the only person in that group who has a chance of being remembered in a hundred years :rolleyes:.

Avatar in IMAX 3D. Fascinating! I did come away with the feeling I was watching 'Dancing With Wolves' updated to the 22nd Century. Not unlike 'Star Trek' had been an updated 'Wagon Train' -Did you??

Caught The Dirty Dozen on television last night. Fell asleep and missed the last twenty minutes, annoyingly, but I'm sure I'll see it again...
