Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

your girl is correct. my father commented on how actors stood very close together while on screen, his exact line being "looks like he's gonna kiss him"...watch The Good German and you'll see the very same for the director used film equipment only available in 1945, the period the film was set. it made the actors speak in very loud, articulate voice and stand close together.

Cagney was definitely a rebel. and yes, playing himself in many of his films like Brando and McQueen. little 5 foot nothin' tough guy...thats why you gotta love him

You know... I notice that about The Good German!! Actually that's one of the reasons I liked it... and the lighting and classic camera angles!!!

Casino Royale

It's good to see Bond as more of a bast@rd and not so cheeky...[huh] I also like that he keeps getting chewed out for causing too much carnage:eusa_doh:

yep. he's a rookie and hasn't learned yet. this new Bond series i think is going to really take off. shows a whole new side to the infamous spy. i think Casino Royale did better than most thought.

I wanted my mom to see Peeping Tom, one of my favorites. She is another Michael Powell fan but she had never heard of this controversial film. Loved it. :D
She wanted to re-watch If... so I got it from the library. As I thought when I first saw it with my much older boyfriend 15 years ago, it would have been much better without the plot (especially after Columbine).
Saw an Andy Hardy at the hotel, and I realized I'd never seen an Andy Hardy. It was cute, loved the fashions. My sister had never seen the end of The Man Who Knew Too Much (are we really related?) so I gladly watched it with her also at the hotel.

Capote

I just saw Capote on one of my satellite channels, thought he was a different guy than the one who wrote Breakfast at Tiffanys, (I did not read the book) This movie about how he wrote "In Cold Blood" was strange, no matter how you cut it, or what the killers backgrounds were, he befriended them for the book, it was rather shallow if thats the word for it to use and not to think of the family they killed, once I saw Capote during an interview, he turned my stomach, never really like him, of course I enjoy Breakfast at Tiffany's (the movie) but it was tough to associate with Capote, weird feeling, enjoyed Tiffanys because of Audery Hepburn, not Capote.

"Into The Wild," Sean Penn's story of Chris McCandless, a privileged young man who threw over his whole life in order to live off the land in the wilds of Alaska -- the last of many poorly-considered decisions which ultimately cost him his life. A very beautiful, very lengthy film, and extremely well done -- even though I really wanted to slap the kid silly by the end of it. I'm no wilderness adventurer, but even I would have sense enough not to shoot a moose in the middle of summer with nowhere to store the meat.
