I think it was based on a foreign film?

Let's hope it was better! Actually, I just read that it was NOT filmed in one take and has about 10 edits in it.

It's quite technically impossible to film a movie that is 86 minutes long in one take. The film cameras could shoot as long as 10 minutes before changing the film, digital cameras can shoot without a break for about 40 minutes.

Bond...James Bond. November 9.

Orfeu negro. My life is a bit more complete.


Two days ago I watched Lars Von Trier's Melancholia. I was affraid it might be some pretentious stuff but since I actually do not know anything about cinema I was able to shut up and enjoy the images, the symbols, the music, etc. I loved it, even though there are many things which are quite mysterious to me - I'm sure they mean something but don't know what.

I'm cheating and pre-posting because I won't think about it tomorrow. I'll be watching "The Grey" tomorrow night with my husband

Sasha Baron Cohen is a genius.

Love this movie.

Hardta believe 45 years have passed, since I saw it in its original release. Movies maybe were a buck then, and popcorn twenty-five cents.

I must digress, by saying I saw a Jimi Hendrix concert in 1968 for $4.

I need to start watching more Audrey Hepburn. I haven't seen too many of the older movies, but I think it'd be neat to get into them.

They style of acting was very different from today although I'm sure you know that. Even though the acting style was less intense it's a very dramatic film well worth watching.

Funny Face, "Breakfast", and Charade are my favorite Audrey films, but I also have much fondness for her finale, a TV documentary series, Gardens of the World. The beauty, grace, dignity of, were enhanced by the hostess.

I think Funny Face is my favorite then perhaps Sabrina and Roman Holiday then "Breakfast"

I'm going to check netflix this weekend to see if they have any of her movies....probably not, it seems like everytime I check netflix for a desire movie, they don't have it.

This shall tease you, Sonata. What amazing cinematography (Ray June), art direction (George W. Davis/Hal Pereira), costumes (Edith Head) and direction (Stanley Donen) of course. And we haven't even mentioned Audrey & Fred. A classic in every which way.

Best in Show, a classic from Christopher Guest with memorable performances from Eugene Levy and Fred Willard. The whole cast really is great. One of the best comedies out there.
