Re: Least and Most Favorite Movie of the week

Last week I saw three movies, none of them fully successful. Courage for every Day is a mid-sixties Czechoslovak film about a young member and Communist part member who faces the growing disillusionment of those around them. At least that's the plot Wikipedia and tv guides give. Actually watching th...

Re: Rustin (2023)

Of the five nominees, I'd place him fourth. And I would have no trouble thinking up better nominees to exclude him altogether.

Now it's time for 1964, which was actually the year I began talking about the subject, but where my post has been mostly obliterated in the great deletion of my posts. Here are the Academy's choices: Black and white Zorba the Greek The Americanization of Emily Fate Is the Hunter Hush...Hush, Sweet C...

Re: April 2024 Schedule Posted, Marlon Brando is SOTM

Two weeks from now they're also showing The Men, Brando's film debut, a movie they took some to confirm on the schedule, and one that TCM doesn't show that often.

And if we had to include two of the Academy's choices? Picture: Dangerous Liaisons and maybe Mississippi Burning ? Actor: Hanks, no change Actress: Streep, no change S. Actor: Phoenix, no change S. Actress: Davis, but I think Pfeiffer still wins, since Dangerous Liaisons now has a best picture nomin...

Re: Least and Most Favorite Movie of the week

Last week I saw five movies. Let's start with the two from last year. About Dry Grasses may be the best Nuri Bilge Ceylan film I've seen yet. Admittedly, I haven't been the biggest enthusiast of his movies, and I do admit the movie not only rivals The Return of the King in length, but also in last m...
