La terre et le sang (2020)
aka Earth and Blood

A French action film that isn't innovative at all but manages to be decent entertainment for its short duration. It's French, so it's somewhat violent (not Extremely violent, though) and it has a good attitude. Passable low budget fun, nothing more, nothing less.

9.5/10
I agree. It's one of the best pictures ever made, IMO. Just heard that Allen Garfield died. He was really good as the surveillance electronics thief Bernie Moran. But everyone was superb in that one! Even Cindy Williams.

I'm not generally a fan of time era pieces like this, so take this with a grain of salt. This movie could easily be a 2 or 4 depending on what kind of mood I'm in. Chalamet is great in this movie as are all the actresses, with Ronan giving the best performance in my eyes. The first two thirds of the movie dragged for me and could have been trimmed to reduce the 2+ hour runtime, but the last third was excellent.
How would you compare it to the 1949 original, which I thought was excellent? I haven't so far investigated the '19 version, fearing too much PC...

Nope, I've never seen it. I've heard it mentioned and praised quite a bit though.

I have not seen the 1949 version. I think my prior exposure to the story is primarily through light reading of the book many years ago, in addition to some segments of the play

Dear Zachary (2008)


Thanks for the recommendation hellstorm, as this was a truly endearing (yet enraging) film. It doesn't get too in the weeds to discuss the legal process behind scheduling court dates and such, but that was a significant crux in determining the outcome here. It's painful to think about what could have been if common sense had been employed....

Ucho - 8.5/10
It's a fine movie, and very well executed. I'll paste the IMDB description, since I don't want to spoil it, but if there are some who have seen it, we can always use the Spoiler tool on here to get more in-depth.

"After coming home from a Party gathering one night, a Czechoslovakian official becomes convinced that he is about to be the subject of a political purge and tries to do damage control, while also dealing with his turbulent marriage."

A good way I'd describe it is "The Lives of Others" meets "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

I'm going to look into this movie more, but very eager to throw this out there "before its too late!"
WARNING: "Spoiler" spoilers below
I loved how the protagonist had the camera right on him, speaking to him, which also gives the viewer the paranoia they are experiencing (mostly him, but also his wife). The flashbacks are used in a great way, because in real life, someone who has a feeling of being purged will look back and think "Maybe it was THIS, or maybe it was THAT"..

Agree with everything you've said here...my favorite Coppola film...can't believe Hackman didn't win the Oscar that year, let alone not even get a nomination.

Snooze factor = Zzzzz



[Snooze Factor Ratings]:
Z = didn't nod off at all
Zz = nearly nodded off but managed to stay alert
Zzz = nodded off and missed some of the film but went back to watch what I missed
Zzzz = nodded off and missed some of the film but went back to watch what I missed but nodded off again at the same point and therefore needed to go back a number of times before I got through it...
Zzzzz = nodded off and missed some or the rest of the film but was not interested enough to go back over it

I wasn't particularly impressed by Fargo either, but I did think Marco was a bit harsh and unfair. It's a decent movie overall, but I do agree that it's overrated. 2 stars is kind of an unfathomably low rating for something that's at least an above average movie. Personally I'd give Fargo 3 stars. It had some really interesting moments, and some dull ones. I thought the bit about the car salesman and how he gets found out by the female cop was done very well, and also the crazy one of the two killers was a very interesting character. William Macy, Steve Buscemi, and Peter Stormare gave excellent performances.
