I'd love to read what it is I've been missing.<br /><br />The Kurosawa connection was the only reason I heard about Runaway Train, it must have been heavily rewritten. Voight was completely miscast too.<br /><br />The noir project may need a couple of catch up posts, I really want to cover them all properly to document the growth of the movement. 1957 and 1958 were amazing years for the style obviously. It's not quite the same as Criterion but the BFI take a lot of time over their DVD selections, Luke at Wanna Go To The Movies mentioned that they have a massive sale on at the moment if that's of any interest to you?blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-50342713505905931632012-09-01T20:27:28.966+08:002012-09-01T20:27:28.966+08:00Brilliant, you're comparing my movie taste to ...Brilliant, you're comparing my movie taste to your dad!<br /><br />I've seen you loved Cosmopolis actually, I felt so disconnected from the characters and the action from the opening shot. That's not a good way to start a movie and there's no real way back.

I'd seen Monroe in a few films (loved her in Bus Stop, Some Like It Hot, and The Misfits), and I randomly found The Seven Year Itch for $10 on Blu-ray. That was shortly after I finally saw her in The Misfits, so I went for it and loved it. It's going in my top 100 on the next update. <br /><br />Need to see The Asphalt Jungle.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-35461365774018114972012-09-01T13:41:06.061+08:002012-09-01T13:41:06.061+08:00It's a shame that you didn't like Cosmopol...It's a shame that you didn't like Cosmopolis, I was dead-set sure that you would.

Cosmopolis is one polarizing picture. <br /><br />Runaway Train, hard to believe it was originally penned by Kurosawa from the end result. Noteworthy for being Danny Trejo's first role though.<br /><br />I agree about AHX being overrated, actually I feel that way about most of Ed Norton's back catalog.<br /><br />Pierrot le fou. Need to see it again, but I remember loving how random and spontaneous it was.<br /><br />My Blueberry Nights - Yeah Portman was annoying, but Weisz cancels her out. Love that her character's name is basically an anglicized version of Maggie Cheung's in In the Mood For Love and Days of Being Wild. Also anytime I hear Otis Redding, I just can't hate. Jones and Law didn't bother me either, but I do agree that Darius Khondji while capable, didn't have the same chemistry with WKW that Chris Doyle had. <br /><br />Nice to see you are continuing with the noir project, even if you aren't doing detailed posts like before. I've had Kiss Me Deadly and Sweet Smell on my watch list for ages. Will have to pick them up at the next Criterion sale. And yes, Jeanne Moreau accompanied by Miles Davis in Paris at midnight is perfection. If the film was 90 minutes of just that, I would have no complaints.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-53315455547065337022012-09-01T05:13:13.041+08:002012-09-01T05:13:13.041+08:00I know, people have hated it but then other people...I know, people have hated it but then other people have absolutely loved it. If you can get past the dialogue I think you have a good shot at enjoying it.<br /><br />Deep Blue Sea was set in England so I'm afraid you meant to say the Underground shot is breathtaking. ;)<br /><br />Marilyn Monroe eh? Tied in to seeing My Week With Marilyn or a long standing interest? I've only seen Some Like It Hot and Asphalt Jungle, she was fabulous in one and OK in the other.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-86888578527497201752012-09-01T05:10:31.793+08:002012-09-01T05:10:31.793+08:00I've not seen what's coming soon but i thi...I've not seen what's coming soon but i think there's not likely to be a female performance that would beat The Deep Blue Sea.

Make no mistake, The Avengers is a pretty good superhero/action movie and nothing more. If RDJ refused to be in it the movie would be a massive waste of time.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy Deep Blue Sea, it's a whole new way to appreciate cinema.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-3689101191640082052012-09-01T02:15:12.109+08:002012-09-01T02:15:12.109+08:00I don't care if Cosmopolis is the worst film o...I don't care if Cosmopolis is the worst film of all-time. I'm still seeing it. ;)<br /><br />Glad you loved Sweet Smell of Success. A terrific film that more people should see.<br /><br />I wasn't that crazy about The Deep Blue Sea, but I loves Weisz's and Beale's performances. And the subway shot is breathtaking.<br /><br />The one film I saw in August that I'd recommend is The Seven Year Itch. Monroe gives her best performance in it.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-60828411788703810092012-08-31T21:24:22.610+08:002012-08-31T21:24:22.610+08:00Ah, Sweet Smell of Success.
