Re: 24th Hall of Fame

My full ballot (including Rudderless) with the ratings I put to Letterboxd. Ranking and rating La Dolce Vita gave me a lot of problems, and I ended up putting it in the middle of my initial range (2...

Internet, mobile phones, and technology, in general, are such huge obstacles to storytelling. Maybe that's why we have so many 80s retro films these days.

Also, decided not to rewatch La Dolce Vita right now. In other words, I sent my ballot.

Skammen (1968)
aka Shame

I've seen way too few Bergman movies considering that he's done one of my favorites, The Seventh Seal. Shame is probably just the fourth, and unfortunately the worst, as...

Re: 24th Hall of Fame

I just finished Shame, so I've watched all the noms. A review in nearish future. As a teaser, it's the worst Bergman I've seen this far.

I may end up rewatching La Dolce Vita. It depends if I can...

I watched the first hour, and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't enjoyed what I've seen this far. I will continue my shameful journey with Shame either later today or tomorrow.

El secreto de sus ojos (2009)
aka The Secret in Their Eyes

Re: 24th Hall of Fame

I watched The Secret in Their Eyes this morning and will write a review soonish. I more or less liked it but will need some time to gather my thoughts and form the final opinion.

I'll keep this short in case suspect doesn't finish (though I think he does, isn't he watching films on the last day for all of these).

Re: 24th Hall of Fame

I just watched Rudderless. Not my kind of movie but for something that I expected to suck balls it was surprisingly OK. More on a proper review.

That discussion between Klaus and Angelo isn't shown, for the most part, but Angelo says "After what I've told you, you should take me" which probably means he revealed him knowing Klaus's background...

Antwone Fisher (2002)

Not only is Antwone Fisher a terribly sentimental melodrama, but it also feels like an ad or icon for its titular character. It never forgets to tell us how great and wise...

Re: 24th Hall of Fame

I watched Antwone Fisher today. I think it's holding the last place on my ballot at the moment. Why? Tune in for the full review later.

The Man from Nowhere (2010)

Most of the things I was planning to say about The Man from Nowhere have already been said by others. Because of that, I'll keep this short.

Re: 24th Hall of Fame

I just watched The Man from Nowhere. Like Hard Times, it was a quite atypical HoF film, but I think films like this are a welcome change. Definitely above average Asian action film, but more about...

I guess romanticizing may have been a wrong word. My idea was that the kitchen sink is about showing something as broken and in need of a change while The Whisperers appear to be the opposite; the...

I don't think that romanticizing requires everyone to be nice and noble. Besides, it's easy to rationalize their behavior through the cautionary tale (or common) logic.

The Whisperers (1967)

I didn't know what to expect from a film about an elderly woman's life on welfare. Early on, the film didn't seem to have much going on for it. I didn't feel sympathy for...

Re: 24th Hall of Fame

I just watched The Whisperers. It was one of the films I expected the least in this HoF so it being perfectly OK was a positive surprise. As usual, a proper review in distant near future.

I've actually given this and The Warriors the same rating on IMDb. The sequel to that Bronx film is a further step into badness, though.
