I watched Separate Tables(haven't reviewed it yet), and stayed with me, so thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteDidn't love M*A*S*H as much as you did. Glad you loved The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, love the sets and atmosphere of that silent film. Wendy and Lucy is another we agree on.I need to see The Big Sleep and Liberty Valance.
No problem. Glad you liked it, Chris.
DeleteOh, The Big Sleep and Liberty Valance are two worth checking out. Not sure if you'll love them like I did though.
Again, amazing the number of movies you managed to see Josh. What are your thoughts on Amour??
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised by how many others watch. Toby at "blah blah blah gay" saw 72 in January!
DeleteWonderful performances in Amour. Great direction/screenplay by Haneke. It moves at a deliberately slow pace and can be quite depressing, but it's worth the struggle. Thrilled that it got 5 Oscar noms! :)
Holy potatoes, you watched a lot of movies last month! That's awesome. :-)
ReplyDeleteI watched Compliance last night, and it was a 4/5 star movie for me too, though I found it difficult to sit through. My 18-year-old daughter found it even more difficult than I did.
Haha, as many as I see, there are always tons waiting to be watched. :)
DeleteYeah, Compliance is a difficult watch, but a rewarding one. I'd actually give it a 4.5/5 rating, and I'd round it to 4/4 on the blog. I should switch to five stars on here, but I love the 4-star scale too much.
