What DVD / Video did you watch in the past week? I watched The Last Samurai. It's pretty much what I expected from a Tom Cruise film - watchable, but nothing special.
I heard that about The Last Samurai, that it was nothing special. Anyway, I watched Festival Express for the first time, and I Love You Alice B. Toklas and Woodstock: The Director's Cut, both for about the hundredth time.
The Alias boxset I borrowed off my friend. Must confess I'm totally addicted. Honestly can't remember the last movie.
In the past week, I've watched these DVDs: - A documentary called "When We Were Kings" - Ani DiFranco's concert DVD, "Trust"
I watched a whole mess of Takeshi Kitano DVDs (Kikujiro, Dolls, Zatoichi, Hana-bi, Kikujiro again). Yah, Last Samurai is ok. It's better than most Hollywood stuff, but not quite as good as anything else. The dogwood blossom scene always gets me though. *snif*
Eugene O'Neil's ANNA CHRISTIE. The great GARBO, that sphinx of an old ancient soul, in what some call her most profound role, inhabits the body of the young seeker ANNA CHRISTIE. GARBO inhabits ANNA CHRISTIE like a dis-embodied spirit. GARBO the spirit, mourning the shear waight of projecting the face of a persona, verges on the point of disolving before our very eyes in front of the camera. No other woman I've seen has ever expressed the gulf between spirit and ego like the strange inigmatic GARBO. This is one of the most important cinematic experiances I've had in a long time. There are no more Eugene O'Neils, there are no more Greta Garbos, and the transcendant pain of ANNA CHRISTIE is deeper than the shallows of today.
i finnaly got round to watching August undergrounds Mordum. mighty disturbing and um powerful perhaps? but great flm and some "Kids in the hall" dvd's
i watched Without A Paddle last night because my frined loves it for some reason.it was actually alright
