I do feel that both of the movies you mentioned deliberately aim for sentimentality which if you like that kind of thing (or are susceptible to it) would make for an enjoyable cinema experience. I tend to edge more towards hardboiled though I guess.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-45502139912056328722013-03-12T04:09:00.125+08:002013-03-12T04:09:00.125+08:00I can't agree with you on The Artist (it was m...I can't agree with you on The Artist (it was my number one film of 2011), and I liked Robot & Frank well enough. I do agree on most of the others in your skip list that I've seen, though.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-30413855297052326132013-03-07T18:25:44.138+08:002013-03-07T18:25:44.138+08:00Thanks.

It's a strange thing how Baron basically vanished afterwards despite making such a raw and striking and respected film. I hope you love it.<br /><br />I know you will enjoy No, political history drama aside it's a cinephiles dream I think.<br /><br />Somebody messed up with Suddenly, it's in the public domain, I feel a bit put out having paid for a copy. I was legitimately surprised by how good Sinatra was. He's no Britney Spears. Thankfully. Actually this month I plan to see Johnny Cash star in a noir - Door to Door Maniac AKA Five Minutes To Live, which I imagine might be a very different story.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-92027857126303355582013-03-07T10:59:54.345+08:002013-03-07T10:59:54.345+08:00Love your Blast of Silence mini review.

Also, I'm really looking forward to No, and I guess I need to finally watch my copy of Suddenly.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-76019893780930079372013-03-04T17:05:29.664+08:002013-03-04T17:05:29.664+08:00She really was, without her the movie falls quickl...She really was, without her the movie falls quickly to schlocky exploitation levels of quality I reckon. I'm going to watch Dead Hooker in a Trunk and fully expect it to be lacking in the quality acting stakes.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-31130777809103247492013-03-04T16:19:55.895+08:002013-03-04T16:19:55.895+08:00Just saw American Mary last night.
