:) welcome back. Last thing I saw was San Quentin, which was mediocore. A pretty compact gangster/prison flick from the Warner stables. Seeing Bogey playing a 25 year old while he was nearly 40 was pretty funny. Also went to the PAC (Pathé Alternative Cinema) festival this weekend where I saw Das Weisse Band (the new Haneke) which was terrible, Whatever Works, the new Woody Allen with Larry David (what a hero!) which was very funny and pleasant to watch. We also saw Bright Star, a costume drama about a woman and John Keats, it was a shame they kept pushing all that poetry on us, I got kind of tired of it after a while, if you ignore that it's a really nice film, for a costume drama. And Antichrist, I saw it for the second time, and I have come to the conclusion that I don't like it very much. From time to time Lars manages to create a pretty creepy atmosphere, and the movie is build really nice and 'smart', but it doesn't move me at all, so the drama part doesn't work and as a pure horror movie it isn't interesting enough either, next to that I'm kind of over his provocation (I'm not even talking about the disturbing scenes, more of things like the Tarkovsky hommage at the end of the movie), it makes him look like a kid that desperately wants to be taken seriously. Other things I've seen this week: 230. The Band Wagon (Vincente Minnelli, 1953) :: 10.0 231. Bride of the Monster (Edward D. Wood Jr., 1955) :: 7.5 232. Goyôkiba (Kenji Misumi, 1972) :: 7.5 Also saw forty-five minutes of Touchez Pas au Grisbi, which made me fall asleep. :') I don't know what it is with those French crime movies from the 50s, but to me they always seem incredibly boring, I still need to find one that doesn't make me fall asleep. [edit] Just finished watching Touchez Pas au Grisbi, and I must say I'm really impressed. From minute 40 'till the end it's a feast!
