A doctor was assigned to the unit in Mexico and one night he had to attend to John Huston, who had an adverse reaction to marijuana, having smoked it for the first time with his father. He never touched the stuff again.
A Woman in Berlin
Based on the autobiographical book about the plight of the German women at
the hands of the Red Army. A very powerful and well done movie with some
outstanding acting. (2008)
Had us going through many emotions. Had many characters that we loved to hate, and hated to love.
Clooney's acting continues to impress, and Shailene Woodley is wonderful in her part. Seeing Hawaii pictorially as the backdrop somehow adds something unreal to the movie, which makes the story even more bittersweet (if that makes any sense).
If you've ever been left by anyone (deliberately or not), you will appreciate the movie.
It should have gotten the academy award, we think.
Re-watched The Birds, for the I don't know, the 20th time. Family time, so seemed acceptable, 80 yr old in-law hadn't seen it since the old days when one went to the theater. He said it scared the pee out of him!
"It's the end of the world"...
Then for the midnight show,
Female Trouble (1975)
A riotously funny bad-taste epic from director John Waters, Baltimore's "Prince of Puke," this sick classic tells the depraved life story of obese criminal Dawn Davenport (Divine), from her bad-girl youth as a go-go dancer on Baltimore's infamous Block to her death in the electric chair. Mink Stole is terrific as Dawn's bratty daughter Taffy, conceived following a romp on a junkyard mattress with a fat derelict in soiled underpants (also played by Divine). Mary Vivian Pearce and David Lochary
Gonzo chemist,
Your right about that I listened to the first book on audio books love it the reader is fantastic, and now I started to read book 2 clash of kings and enjoying it alot.
"Che" (now on streaming Netflix). 4 hours. I'll grant you I have leftist leanings, but that aside I found it an excellent movie. Even Fatty would find something to admire (lol) Entering into the life of a guerrilla. History, drama, tragedy all mixed into on. Makes free soloing look light weight.
Wildest Dream with Anker and Houlding (on Netflix). Highlights: Anker at home w/family, Houlding doing a sketchy free climb, Houlding winded on Everest, and final dedication to Natasha Richardson.
Joey F.: The Birds never gets old. Doesn't Bob Newhart's wife get pecked to death? Do you think the Hitchcock blonde became the David Lynch brunette in the 90s?
Beginners (Chris Plummer best supporting actor)
Melencholia (Lars Van Triers latest)
The Tree (Charlotte Gainbourg) she's also in melancholia
Young Adult (Charlize Theron)
Breaking Bad season 4 (not a movie but entertaining) Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are great.
Let us know!
