So having spend an ungodly number of hours on a plane this last week, watching a big haul of movies, instead of writing some kind of meaningful summary of my opinions or plucking an arbitrary score out of the air, I thought I'd sum some of them up with nice short sentences. Anchorman 2 Trying a bit too hard. 12 Years a Slave :'( Robocop I don't need to see that bit with the lungs anymore, thanks. Ender's Game Orson Scott Card is a bit of a cunt. Her I've got the weirdest boner, right now. |

"The Godfather, Part III" continues the Corleone family history in 1979, some of the dialogue scenes, especially in the beginning, sound vaguely awkward; the answers do not fit the questions, and conversations seem to have been rewritten in the editing room other shots - long shots, into the light, so we cannot see the characters' lips -- look suspiciously like scenes that were filmed first and dubbed later the whole ambitious final movement of the film - in which two separate intrigues are intercut with the progress of an opera being sung by Anthony -- is intended to be suspenseful but is so confusing, we are not even sure which place (Sicily, Rome, London?) one of the intrigues is occurring The final scene of the movie, which is intended to echo Marlon Brando's famous death scene, is perfunctory and awkward and yet it's strange how the earlier movies fill in the gaps left by this one, and answer the questions it is, I suspect, not even possible to understand this film without knowing the first two, and yet, knowing them, "Part III" works better than it should, evokes the same sense of wasted greatness, of misdirected genius both Don Vito Corleone and Don Michael Corleone could have been great men But they lacked that final shred of character that would have allowed them to break free from their own pasts Or perhaps their tragedies were dictated by circumstances perhaps they were simply born into the wrong family. -

Registered 9 years agoI caught up on a load of classics I hadn't seen recently. In no particular order:
12 Angry Men
All talking, all awesome. Basically works like a play
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Bad guy not nearly as bad as everyone says, ending is just as sad as everyone says.
Seven Samurai
Over-the-top acting and everyone yelping for three straight hours is pretty tiring, but it's interesting from a historical viewpoint.
City of God
Kids killed by kids who kill more killer kids. I routed for the chicken.
Once Upon a Time in the West
Sooooo.... slooooowww.... like a particularly pretty snail. On a horse.
Psycho
Where the main star... is in like 3/4 of the movie, despite what everyone says.
Rear Window
Flash attack! And isn't the girlfriend badass?
Casablanca
Insert famous quote HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
Life is Beautiful
Slapstick comedy + the Holocaust = ALL OF THE FEELS! I didn't know I could cry that hard (joking aside, it's the best film I've seen in years, seriously). -
