Completely shatters my personal record.<br /><br />Haven't seen most of these, but I completely agree with you on Seeking a Friend. Really interesting premise but it became a complete wreck at the end.<br /><br />I also thought The Lady Vanishes was a little disappointing, at least when compared to the constant praise I heard beforehand. It was a good little film, but not one of Hitchcock's finest. Still need to see The 39 Steps.Erichttp://twscritic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-24615418827165123112012-12-08T06:46:55.283+08:002012-12-08T06:46:55.283+08:00That movie rocks.

Your content is consistently high quality and focussed, you definitely give that impression anyway and the gaps in daily content surely aren't noticed so readily because of it. It must be hard work watching so many films and adding them to your seemingly encyclopaedic knowledge bank.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-65861756754117047012012-12-06T19:29:00.406+08:002012-12-06T19:29:00.406+08:00Glad you didn't notice.

Partly because I've been distracted, but I think the biggest factor is I spend far more time and effort in my writing these days compared to when I started.

Although I may skip Saint Joan and the other really long religious one. I have little patience for the subject matter and the Milla Jovovich version of Joan of Arc is the only one for me ;)blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-43104685889359473472012-12-06T12:18:51.452+08:002012-12-06T12:18:51.452+08:00The thing that really bugged me was that the idea ...The thing that really bugged me was that the idea is pure noir and the execution managed to rob it of that at it's most basic level.

And I must admit I have a slight fondness for The Three Musketeers, even if it is bad. :)<br /><br />Yay! Glad you watched Metropolis and Anatomy of a Murder. I agree on Witness for the Prosecution, but I haven't seen AOAM in a long time.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-80352507910728293362012-12-06T06:45:32.550+08:002012-12-06T06:45:32.550+08:00Nice write-up here.

It's a great way to watch movies. Tomorrow we attend the opening of one of the locations for a screening of Argo, which I'm quite excited by.<br /><br />Six new films is pretty low but your content hasn't faltered in the slightest, I might never have known!. I'm glad you agree on The Master, I had a feeling that it was going to be an unpopular reaction. Film bloggers are a hyperbolic bunch about things like this, there's no room for just being good, we must outdo each other in attempts to use the most superlatives and more fool the loser who points out that the emperor is wearing no clothes.blahblahblah Tobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370451386116555733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048087291064672035.post-74960985233841005612012-12-05T14:13:02.599+08:002012-12-05T14:13:02.599+08:00That rooftop cinema sounds very cool.

It rains so often here that the concept of an outdoor cinema seems completely absurd to me.<br /><br />I had a real lazy month, mostly catching up on festival reviews and working on other things. I probably only saw a half dozen new films.<br /><br />Once again, very glad my recommendation came through, and I totally agree with you about The Master.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.com
