The 13TH Hall of Fame

Well, I spend at least 60 hours a week looking at MoFo, and another 60 hours watching your guys Hof movies

For me it's evenings, including Saturdays for a 6 day, 45+ hr work week. Don't care for the 6 day work week but I DO like working evenings as opposed to a day shift. Always hated getting up in the morning.

I don't think I could work evenings or late nights. I've spent years getting up at 4am to go to work, and it would just be too drastic a change. Even on my days off I'm up as soon as the sun is haha.

I think I forgot to mention it earlier, so I'll say it now: thanks for taking over hosting MV.

I'm so glad you posted an updated link post. Great idea.

that's all my reviews so far. I'm in the middle of Broken Circle Breakdown. VERY good movie. Very, very sad, but VERY good.

Camo said he added an extra week when Blix joined. Deadline is therefore on 09.08.17.

I've been done except for Clazor's nomination. I'm just waiting to see if he turns up before sending in my list.

09.08.17. is that August-11-2017 ?

I thought @cricket was done already?

August 9th.

Just waiting to see if I should watch The Quiet Earth.

Okay, I've changed the deadline to the 9th.

I PMed Clazor asking him to let us know if he's still in or not. Hopefully I get an answer soon.

Clazor says he's still in and will be done by the deadline. So @cricket, yes you should watch The Quiet Earth.

I am all done watching the films, actually. I just haven't gotten around to writing about the last 3 films. I was holding off sending the list until then (that is what I usually do). I will try to get to the last 3 write-ups this week.

I'm not very active sorry, but I will send a list and I've already watch a couple of movies.

Namely, Jeux d'Enfants and The Three Musketeers. (Which I'll review later)

So the only ones I have to watch are: Buffalo 66, Wings of Desire (rewatch), The Great Dictator (rewatch), Nightmare Alley, Fresh Blood and Dances with Wolves (rewatch)

Buffalo '66

I wasn't at all familiar with Vincent Gallo before watching this film. From occasional glimpses of other reviews and Cricket's boiling hatred for the man, I was intrigued. Gallo to me looks like a homeless man Joaquin Phoenix and after reading about him later, he is in fact a bit of a douche. But I have to hand it to him, Buffalo '66 was refreshingly clever and well versed film.

The film starts as Billy (Gallo) is released out of prison for a crime he didn't commited. In a flashback, we can right away see that Billy is deeply unhappy man and possibly traumatized from his experience in prison. After a phone-call with his mother, Billy decides to kidnap a young tap-dancer Layla (Christina Ricci) in order to fill out for lies he was feeding his parents.

First of all, I thought the scenes in Billy's parents home were amazing. The tension between him and his parents was so palpable. I liked how we got to see a brief insight into Billy's childhood and where his anger towards the world originated from. Christina Ricci gave an amazing performance, especially considering she was about 17-years old at the time of shooting. Her chemistry with Gallo was great and she served as a contrast to his character with her warmness, compassion and unlimited tolerance. It was really nice to see her character reaching into Billy's tormented soul and giving his life a new meaning.

Buffalo '66 was also very nicely written and funny. I was cracking up several times, especially during the photo-booth scene. I also appreciated the score and a cinematography. But one of the most impressive aspects of the film was its versatility. It was both funny and depressing, surreal and realistic, brutal and tender... Really a perfect blend of comedy and drama. Great film !
