Still haven't seen this but I'm pumped, it looks like it hearkens back to early Linklater which was my favorite!

Mark has voiced his qualms about Rio Bravo in the past, it being slow and overlong I believe. I wouldn't be surprised if this is an increased rating but I'd have to check to find out.

Wow, a rapperetta sounds like it could be one of the great worst movies ever made if done right

Re: Movie Tab II

Out 1 is about 3 hours shorter than Berlin Alexanderplatz, it's the closest I've seen to something of that length. Out 1 is segmented into 8 parts, and each part begins with title cards and a series...

Haven't gotten into Lav Diaz yet, I was planning on it for the summer. Last summer I tackled Jacques Rivette's mammoth films. I'm a bit wary to get into Diaz for a number of reasons, but I don't know...

The hotel scenes at the end are exactly what I'm talking about when I say watching his other movies is important, among other scenes. I love all three of his 00s pictures, but I think Tropical Malady...

Re: Movie Tab II

I remember Daniel M gave a similar rating (3 stars but on mubi that may mean 2 1/2) to Peeping Tom the other day. I haven't seen much of Michael Powell's movies aside from a couple Powell-Pressburger...

You should see Make Way for Tomorrow then, his best film and one of Hollywood's best from the period.

Captain Spaulding, have you seen McCarey's original version of An Affair to Remember, Love Affair? It's just as contrived and manipulative, but I think I like it more. Mostly because of my affection...

It's there for a purpose in Ford too, as with Hawks, as with Lubitsch, as with many many others. With Ford, the theatrical acting is key to his Brechtian approach to cinema. Ford's framing, his...

Re: Movie Tab II

Why is it that whenever people use the term "theatrical acting," it's always in a negative context? What's wrong with theatrical acting?

Re: Movie Tab II

For the record, I don't think The Searchers is John Ford's greatest film. For that I'd choose more along the lines of The Sun Shines Bright, Young Mr. Lincoln, or Steamboat Round the Bend. Nor is it...

Interested in BlueLion's comments as always. There are reasons to dislike The Searchers, but there are a lot of wrong reasons to dislike it as well. If he dislikes it for some wrong reason I've got...

This sounds like a lost cause, a complete lack of openness and perceptiveness. No, the fact that your favorite movies are from the 70s or 90s doesn't give you the right to say that the 70s and 90s...
