Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

One of these days I'll actually watch the Three Colors trilogy. I bought them back in February. Of last year.

:laugh:

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

They are pretty wonderful, Vicky. I rated Blue

and BlueLion says I'll like Red even more.

I agree with Bluelion. Red is my favourite, but the full trilogy was excellent.

Also I just watched Mud for myself the other day, really enjoyed it. That's me just found it was from the same guy as Take Shelter, so another reason to watch it :)

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

Yeah dude Mud is great, glad you liked it.

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

I still don't know how anyone can prefer Red to Blue. :confused: I suspect Swan will prefer Blue because he's a style guy.

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

Yeah, I go with Blue, Red then White although White still gets a

+ from me. I think your'e right HK, Swan will prefer Blue.

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

Watched Blue, but never got around to the rest.

Now I feel like I better rewatch Blue to refresh my memory and then go through the other two...

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

I saw the Three Colors Trilogy and I thought Red was the best too.

Blue

White

Red

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

Is there anyone here who likes White most?

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

Is this still going Swan? If so, keep it up!

It's just that I have been really busy and quite absent from the forum.

Love and Mercy (Bill Pohlad, 2014) -

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/n...psxhrkwasf.jpg

Fascinating, unusual biopic that switches between 1960's Brian Wilson and his fall into schizoaffective disorder and 1980's Wilson dealing with a monster of a psychiatrist and somehow landing a hottie for a girlfriend. Quite inspiring for me, as someone who loves music and making music and also deals with similar stuff, it was cool seeing someone who took his symptoms and made incredible art with it.

Paul Dano was brilliant as Brian Wilson, he deserves an Oscar. And I thought while he didn't look the part, John Cusack portrayed schizophrenic perfectly. I admired both their performances greatly, and fortunately neither overshadowed the other - the only reason I preferred Dano's performance was because he almost uncannily looked the part.

When I think of incredible, pioneering albums of history on, among other things, a production level, there are really three albums I think of. Dark Side of the Moon, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and Pet Sounds. This movie helps to show how genius and ahead of its time Pet Sounds was. The Beach Boys were incredible with harmonies, too, but I don't think anyone will or can dispute that. Anyway, I think Pet Sounds is the underdog of those three albums - for some reason, sadly, The Beach Boys don't get the kind of widespread recognition they deserve anymore. Everyone has heard of them, but I don't really see young people still listening to them, while they do still listen to The Beatles and the Floyd. Maybe I'm wrong there, but if I'm right it's incredibly disappointing as The Beach Boys were every bit as admirable.

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

John Cusack portraying schizophrenia perfectly? A miracle! I'm gonna see this film. Great review Swan.

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

Love and Mercy seems to have flown under my radar. Added to the watch list. Cheers Swan

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

I'd been kind of on the fence about seeing this one. I like The Beach Boys, but am not really a fan and I hate Paul Dano. I do, however, love John Cusack and your review just might get me to get off the fence and see it.

Jaws 3-D (Joe Alves, 1983) -

Not much to say really. My friend wanted to show it to me so we watched it while waiting for the pizza to arrive. I remember the pizza better than the movie. I didn't hate it or anything, it was just a bit of a bore. Though it had some wonderful so-bad-its-good moments, especially with the hilarious awful special effects.

The Burning (Tony Maylam, 1981) -

Third viewing and still one of my favorite slashers.

HATED Jaws 3. But not as much as Jaws: The Revenge.

Only seen the first and this one, but yeah, not very good.

Watch 2, which is actually pretty good. Avoid Jaws: The Revenge.

Re: Movie a Day by the Bay

C'mon. Jaws 3-D is Lea Thompson's best film before Howard the Duck (or Back to the Future if you wanna be that way :)) Yep, I was in the theatre with those chintzy glasses.
