Dark Comedy. I liked it but the wife gave up after 30 minutes. A bit salty on the language. |

I'm a big fan of Billy Wilder, but have always been apathetic about checking this out due to hearing about the nature of it's ending. I never heard exactly what goes down, but knowing something will made the movie seem like a gimmicky, one trick pony. But having watched it I can see now it's just as re-watchable as almost any other Wilder film. Great performances all around. Even though Laughton gets all the accolades, it was actually Power and Dietrich who impressed me the most. Great film, wonderfully presented. Very happy I finally broke down and gave it a spin. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...lL._AA160_.jpg This was a spur of the moment impulse purchase in the last B&N sale. Up until I bought it I had no interest whatsoever in seeing it. I'm not a huge fan of slapstick and figured like WFTP, this was going to be a one-trick pony show built around the iconic image of Lloyd hanging off the clock. It was actually a relatively brief, sweetly realized earnest lad makes good story with orchestrated visual gags more in line with Keaton. I was impressed. Lloyd was also a fresh and likable presence. I now have to shift my budget around for the November B&N sale, because suddenly The Freshmen is on my radar. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...xL._AA160_.jpg After umpteen viewings this is still a lot of fun. And this was one of the best viewings ever thanks to the HD uptick. Spectacular resolution and an eye-popping array of heavily saturated, brilliant colors. |

First viewing. Enjoyed it quite a bit. I do understand, and wouldn't argue, with the criticisms about the human characters being undercooked. But overall I appreciated the creative choices the film made. The fact they managed to make this a homage to an early apocalyptic Godzilla disaster movie and at the same time a homage to a later era Godzilla wrestling other monsters mash, was sublime. The only problem I can see is that it doesn't leave any fresh avenues for a sequel. |

Another impulse purchase during the Criterion sale that turned out to be a huge win. Glenn Ford's performance as Jubal Troop, a man whose entire life has been lived under a dark cloud, is just about the best role I've ever seen him in (with the exception of Pa Kent). For once, his perpetually boyish mug fits for a character whose sense of tragic fatalism was cemented in childhood. From the films various themes and situations, to it's exceptional casting (Borgnine, Steiger, Bronson, French, Farr among others) this has immediately vaulted to the top of my favorite Westerns list alongside movies like The Searchers, Pursued, The Professionals, Will Penny, the Big Country. Reviewers don't seem to rate it all that high even with all the passage of time. But having screened a bunch of classic westerns lately (including Delmar Daves more highly regarded Hanging Tree), this is the one that really 'spoke' to me. While the disc itself is bare bones (not even a trailer), the presentation by Sony and Crisp via Criterion is as expected, exceptional. Between the gorgeous Big Sky scenery and the exemplary condition of the elements, this is one of the most beautiful looking 50's era films in my collection. |

My brain hurts, and yet I was entertained. What just happened? Did I just watch a movie? Where am I? Words. |
