What Movies Are You Watching Lately

[The Ernesto]



sme of the sound effects (the "pwe-e-e-e-eh" noise of ricocheting bullets, for example)

lol - the missus and I were having a laugh about that exact same thing! It was like a 50s Western.

Have always liked the Brioni gear.

As some well-deserved escapism, I enjoyed Man From U.N.C.L.E. Yeah Cavil is a real looker.

Just watched the Man from UNCLE. Henry Cavill inspires massive jealousy on my part - he is just too good looking.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I liked Ant Man along the same lines… just a fun diversion.

La battaglia di Algeri - Gillo Pontecorvo (1966)




This is probably the best political movie I've seen - and much needed in our political polarized time.
It's an oldie, 50 years old, but feels fresh. The camerawork is eminent in between, and mixes the use of actors and people in RL. Exiting as well, we know the leads will be killed, but their cause will win in the end.The movie is never sentimental, but points to the ridiculous politic where the mighty country suppresses the weaker, and we are never in doubt who to sympathize with. The movie is in black and white, and some parts of the conflict is also in monocrome - but still we see real people both among the french and the Algerian.
Every once in a while this movie reminded me of early Eisenstein, since it it is not the actors that's most important - it's the story.
A good flick.

Had freebies for this last night

A retelling of the Faust story set amongst the greed and despair of the Florida realestate market post GFT very good performances from the leads. 4/5

Mrs GF commented its more like reality TV. Heavy going but worth it.

The best of the Three Colors Trilogy - probably because it's the most thought provoking. A kind hearted model meets a cynical retired judge, and in seemingly opposing ideologies a relationship blossoms.

One of my favorite movies

I thought I was very respectful to Michael Gross when I met him many years ago.

Les parapluies de Cherbourg - Jacques Demy (1964)

Second visit, twice as tormented. This is pure beauty. All who have loved and lost watch this.

Y tu mamá también - Alfonso Cuarón ( 2001)

Two immature friends take a newly separated woman on a roadtrip, mostly to ******** with her. But they are mistaken since she has more to her than just being sweet and fuckable.

Just loved this beautiful and bittersweet movie about friendship, youth, loyalty and the important matters compared to agespecific peerpressure. Filming is good and fresh and there are some quite nice shoots in here. Relaxed acting. Just a joy.

The Motorcycle Diaries - Walter Salles (2004)



An other roadmovie with Gael García Bernal an okey actor, not brilliant, but good and not just good-looking.
This is a charming movie about two friends, Augusto and Che Guevara, in their youth, traveling in South America and the strains and joy of their friendship.
It is also a story about how Che changed from an ordinary middle class boy most concerned with fun to become deeply social concerned after the unjust and exploitation he witnesses.
The story is entertaining and not without irony and humor. The camerawork is just ordinary, not much new or different here. Good move, fun to watch.

I Agree with you.

Good movie but not a great one.

Bad education - Pedro Almodòvar (2004)




This is an interesting movie about trust and misuse, lies and truth, passion and identity, who is exploiting who? It's also a movie about making a movie, and there are quite some twists in here. And it is a movie about love that is not returned.
Almodòvar is a true artist, and has his very own style: bright colours, a typical clearness in the scenes and always people who have to come to terms with some hidden secrets about their past. He is an actors director, and he is good at showing persons with a wide range of qualities, and his movies seem always well prepared and well done. His movies can easily be watched several times, there is much in there to discover.
It took me some years to like his intellectual and somewhat distant, almost chilly way of telling stories, but after 'All about my mother' I just love him.
