	20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This is some of Disney's best work ever in live action, with the exception of MAYBE Pirates of the Caribbean. -----signature----- http://tlongpublications.wordpress.com/ http://tlongportfolio.wordpress.com/ http://thestarsailors.wordpress.com/

	The Proposal. It has it's good moments, mixed with right down corny. I liked it though. Betty White was a highlight. -----signature----- Legacy: http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/30582247/p1/?0

	Religulous with Bill Maher. Scathing, sometimes hilarious commentary on the absurdity of religious belief. The ending is unbelievably heavy-handed (any movie that ends with a montage of nuclear explosions is carrying things a BIT too far, IMO), but for the most part it's thoughtful entertainment that deserves to be seen by atheist and theist alike. -----signature----- "Chance makes playthings of us all." -- Seneca Shameless non-Manager Emeritus sock of Vortigern99.

Rogue1-and-a-half Title: Manager: Amphitheatre Registered: Nov '00	Date Posted: 6/22 2:40pm Subject: What was the last movie you saw?
	MASH (1970) – Robert Altman I let a few years intervene and gave this one another shot; I still find it almost unbearable. Altman can defend his aesthetic and philosophical decisions all he wants. I understand why the humor is crude and unfunny (in response to the madness of war); it’s still crude and unfunny. I rarely label works of art misogynistic (and usually when I do, it’s a compliment – see my review of The Chronic), but this one actually might be. I call this the definitive zeitgeist movie; I think really nothing at all has held up. It’s all very sour at this late date. The Barefoot Contessa (1954) – Joseph L. Mankiewicz Gardner’s performance here is very nearly great; this being the fifties, we can’t actually see anything of the sexual demons that drive her character, but she gives off a weird air of dissipation and sickness at times that is incredibly creepy. A great script; the cast is off and on – Bogart is excellent in his supporting role and Warren Stevens kills in a tiny part as a puritanical studio head, but the Italian cast is dead awful, especially Marius Goring who just flatlines the movie when he enters. All in all, I really enjoyed it; a shame about the last half though. Naked (1993) – Mike Leigh If you only know David Thewlis from laughable films like The Island of Dr. Moreau or exalted cameos like in Harry Potter, then you need to check this movie out, perhaps the most profane and explicit film I’ve ever seen. Thewlis is a live wire of pure anger and rage as a young man who flees to London in the aftermath of a sexual assault and spends three days preaching of the coming apocalypse and connecting, in his own terrifying way, with various other lost souls. Dense, dark, nihilistic, utterly grim; also hilariously funny at times, but not enough to keep the movie from hurting like about ten slaps right in the face. A doom-laden, gruesome portrait of alienation, connection, self-loathing, mental illness, spiritual damnation and sexual victimization; not for the faint of heart or the puritanical – still, a five star film. WALL-E (2008) – Andrew Stanton Deserves the rep? Yes, and even more. WALL-E and EVE are two of the most unbelievably real film characters I’ve had the joy to watch of late and they’re both drawings rendered on a machine of a machine. This movie, its rather heavy handed political message neatly tossed aside (yes, I can do that!), is a celebration of pure joy and euphoria. I laughed until I practically cried; the gags come from character and are directed with true artistry. And, yes, silly as it sounds, this is one of the most evocative and beautiful love stories I’ve ever seen. Essential film; Pixar does it again; I feel my cynicism leak away just a little more every time I watch one of their movies. Foreign Correspondant (1940) – Alfred Hitchcock Joel McCrea isn’t the most charismatic lead Hitchcock ever had, but George Sanders and Herbert Marshall each have enough charm for two men, so the movie balances out. Actually, the movie is absolutely brilliant. It’s high energy and classic Hitchcock at its best; an assassination in a crowd of umbrellas, a game of cat and mouse in a windmill, and a mid-movie twist that sets the rest of the movie on an even higher level of brilliance. Five stars; somewhat lesser, I suppose, than some later Hitchcock (and even some earlier), but still, brilliant. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine
