I am not sure how this film could have been improved. It is, considering the time when it was made, about perfect. Just an awesome film.

Apartment 7A. I enjoyed it because I like "scary" movies as my wife would say, but I was wondering if Rosemary's Baby needed to be remade. I thought the acting and sets were great.

 

 

Spoiler

Turns out it is a prequel to Rosemary's Baby revealed in the final scence. Well done.

I recently saw The Brady Bunch Movie and thought it was way funnier than I remember. I guess I’m getting old but I thought it was way ahead of its time for what it was trying to do. 

The kid who played Greg Brady was also in a TV series, Day By Day, which I don't think lasted too long but, in one of the episodes there was a dream sequence where the kid dreamt he was in The Brady Family. It was quite clever.

From Wiki:

"A Very Brady Episode"

The episode titled "A Very Brady Episode" aired on February 5, 1989, and reunited six cast members from The Brady Bunch – Ann B. Davis, Florence Henderson, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Maureen McCormick, and Robert Reed.

In this episode, Ross is lectured by Brian and Kate about his poor study habits. Ross's explanation that he was watching a Brady Bunch marathon only angers his parents more, and he is warned to shape up. Ross bemoans his predicament, noting Mike Brady would never yell at him because he had flagging grades.

Ross falls asleep, and finds himself in the opening credits of The Brady Bunch., where he dreams that he is the Bradys' long-lost son, Chuck. After he gets his hair permed at Mike's suggestion, he visits with the various family members (except Greg, Jan, and Cindy), who reprise some of the scenes in the Bradys' most famous episodes ("Chuck" and Marcia running against each other for class president, "Chuck" being bullied by Buddy Hinton episode, etc.)

After "Chuck" gets some advice about his poor grades from Mike, the family begins to repeat their dialogue. "Chuck" wonders what's amiss, and Carol explains what he's seeing is a rerun. Everything becomes chaotic and Ross wakes up, vowing to improve his study habits.

Christopher Daniel Barnes, who played Ross on the series, would later portray Greg Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie and A Very Brady Sequel.

The actor who played Greg captured the essence of OG Greg so well in this movie. It was fun that Barry Williams made a cameo as the record exec who tells Greg aka Johnny Bravo he sucks. And Christine Taylor was so good as Marcia. Jan’s face in this clip kills me every time.

Pretty funny sitcom. Surprised it didn't catch on.

I know I’m re-quoting you again but I would love for this actor to play a young @immamac in the made for TV movie highlighting what can go wrong at a tailgate.

City of God is in my top 4-5 all time list.

Just watched this yesterday for the first time since it came out. It’s even better than I remembered and everything a movie should be.

Did two polar opposite classics today. Lawrence of Arabia and The Big Lobowski

Both men adhere to their own code in the service of masters that do not share it, succeed at their errand somewhat by accident while losing their illusions, and achieve wisdom in the process.

Watched the Prestige again last night. This was the first time probably since the first time I watched it that I saw it from the beginning, usually picking it up in the middle when it's on TV somewhere.

This watch got me wondering .... NOTE SPOILERS AHEAD (but the movie is 18 years old so DEAL) ...

 

 

Which Borden survives at the end? Alfred or Fallon?

For some reason I always felt that it was Alfred that survived at the end of the film and that somehow him and Fallon swapped places at the end in jail (not sure how) and that Fallon was the one executed.

But in rewatch I now think it was Fallon.

First here is how I separate the two men as:

Alfred is actually the Borden we get the bulk of the film. He was driven to become a player in the illusion world and concocted the idea of two men 1 single life. He was also the one that was obsessed with Angier. I will call him Borden in this.

Fallon was in disguise the bulk of the film. He was timid and went along with his brother's ambition to become famous. But he didn't share the ambition, but enjoyed the results.

 

A lot of the reviews have Alfred surviving at the end of the film. I noted above how I thought it was him too. HOWEVER watching again last night ...

1. The Borden caught and thrown in jail was caught because he was obsessed with Angier, sneaking in to find the secret of his trick.

2. When Borden and Fallon are meeting at the very end, Alfred is commanding him to live his own life - the life he was not allowed to live up to that point, because he was the timid one.

3. At the end when Borden gives the reveal of their trick, he notes that he loved Sarah (Rebecca Hall) while the other loved Olivia (ScarJo). This is the biggest tell of them all. First because the attitudes of the women better fit with the personalities of the men they match. And second, because the driven/angry one is the one that is always yelling at Sarah and in fact didn't care she committed suicide. Plus not only that, think of how their relationship both started, Fallon is interested in Sarah while Borden took Olivia because she was there.

4. When Borden and Fallon are talking at the carousel, not long before Sarah kills herself, Borden is commanding Fallon to fix things with Sarah while he is off to be with Olivia. It also makes you realize ...

5. The Borden with Olivia is the obsessed with Angier one because that is how he gets the diary handed off. 

6. Finally at the end the Borden we have seen all film would have gloated over Angier when he killed him. The man that "won" at the end was mellow, just to have a bit of his life returned.

There are a lot of other clues too, but these were my prime ones.

 

 

In the end, I like this result better because Borden and Angier are both bad people in this film. This at least makes the one that lives in the end, somewhat likable (the less dick Borden brother).

Thoughts?

 

Just some other realizations:

The Borden that is buried by Angier and Cutter is IMHO Alfred and not Fallon. His attitude when he is drunk that night fits Alfred.

Lord Caldlow is Angier's real name. I always glossed over the part that he said he changed his name to not embarrass his family (at their request).

Fallon is likely the Borden that tied up Angier's wife, hence why the rest of the film Borden doesn't know what knot he tied.

 

Oh and Borden was by far the better magician. He spends the bulk of the film making his own illusions, while Angier has to use Cutter the whole time. But Angier was the better showman.

Stayed up last night and watched They Live on TCM.

Damn that is a good movie and John Carpenter, who does a lot of his own music and did so here, created a haunting score.

Very similar to the score for The Thing.

The Thing (1982)

great cast, story and suspense hold up well(some of the creature effects don’t show great in HD).

the dog(or handlers) deserve a supporting actor oscar.  The scene where the dog walks down the hall to its first victim is incredibly paced and expressive by a…dog.  Chilling.

 

Based on the novella "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell. Written in 1948(!)

had some insomnia last night.  

Watched: 

Emperor of the North.  1973  Lee Marvin Ernest Borgnine

 

Borgnine went all-in on the psychotic train character and was a bit beyond bizarre at times.  Lee pulls off cool alpha-hobo well.

Real star of the movie is the train.

Anora - this won the Palme D’Or this year and has gotten great buzz from other fests. I loved it. It was funny, sad, scary, thoughtful, etc. It’s definitely a movie that will stick with you. It’s going to be in the mix this award season, especially for Mikey Madison.

Love that movie. It was hard to find before the internet.  A#1 to Portland!
