Mother Joan of the Angels (Kawalerowicz, 1961)


Dr. David Sorfa of The University of Edinburgh has a terrific paper on this movie. You should read that.

First viewing of M&M yes. I liked it but it never hit the heights of Cassavetes other films. The scene with the mothers was hilarious though.

1. Woman under Influence
2. Chinese Bookie
3. Love Streams
4. Opening Night
5. Faces
6. Husbands

How come its always Camo that spots the mistakes?!

Silence (2016) -

Not since GO I really happy to see Yusuke Kubozuka again .

The Light Between Oceans (2016)

The movie is about this enormous moral dilemma. Characters are torn between sadness and anger. Their conscience was truly speaking to them each with a different approach to the issue. Even I was torn between sympathy and disagreement. Up until now everything played to my cards. However screenplay and directing was torn between too many aspects. The cast was excellent. I could see the true emotions but why to do so much underlining of emotions? Let's say there is an emotion expressed by story itself, plus the same emotions expressed by an actor and on top of it the emotion is underlined by change of weather or different shot of ocean, landscape and such. I don't find this emotional crescendo necessary. Also, I haven't read the novel, but I think the story in the book is more extensive and it is not always possible to make a picture of all of it. Well, I think, Derek Cianfrance tend to squeeze all of it in 133 minutes. It was too packed.

Summa summarum, the story was interesting, cast did their best, visuals were beautiful however the execution of the movie went wrong. It didn't reach out to me how this kind of story supposed to.

Too Late Blues is the best movie about music -- strongly urge to see it. It was made in the studio, still great, but he went independent after this starting with "Faces"

John didn't even want his name on "Big Trouble" -- Peter Falk was starring in the movie, and they fired the original director in mind, and Peter asked John to do it as a favor, and John took it (probably for medical bills, since he was dying) but part of the deal was to put in his name. Stanley Kramer did the same thing -- weasel.

I couldn't get into Bookie -- so muddled, I will try one day.. I'll try to list my Top 10.

1. A Woman Under The Influence
2. A Child Is Waiting
3. Too Late Blues
4. Love Streams
5. Minnie and Moskowitz
6. Husbands
7. Opening Night
8. Gloria
9. Shadows
10. Faces

Conrack - 7/10

Could have been better. Jon Voigt is a good actor, but this isn't one of his best, and some of his material was bad. Maybe this is Ritt trying to compromise (he was blacklisted) -- I've seen his talent (Hombre is on TCM tonight).

Tower Block (2012) +



I don't regret watching it. It was good enough.

And So It Goes (2014) +



A lot better than Dirty Grandpa. Douglas is great as a grumpy, horny, rude and outspoken grandpa.

Inglorious Basterds.
10/10, would get murdered by Bear Jew again.

She looks straight out of Something's Gotta Give.

Suspect's Reviews

The Front - 7.5/10

I wish this movie had a more serious tone, with a virile leading man. The blacklist killed any sense of balance (politically) in the US, and the Left died and never recovered. You can't have a blacklist in a free country.

Punch-Drunk Love (2002) -

This deserves a perfect rating because Paul Thomas Anderson managed to make Adam Sandler act
