It helps that Binoche seems to be in every third movie coming out of Europe (at least that's my impression based on all the times she turns up on Independent Film Channel). She's certainly had an impressive career -- far beyond what I'd have thought the first time I saw her (in The Unbearable Light...

Most of you are way too kind, here. I think this is in many ways a shockingly bad movie. And I have to disagree right from the start that the film does any kind of job re-creating 70s America. I thought the early setting-the-scene section didn't ring true for one moment. The cute family arguments, ...

So...to last night's results... Every Democrat I know was pleased in basically every way. No one questioned that the White House had to support Specter, in gratitude for his switch that made health care possible. But most of us also thought Sestak was 1) a more reliable Democrat (Specter only becam...

I have an attachment to I Remember Mama totally unrelated to its quality. When I was a kid, I found the book Mama's Bank Account in the children's section of the library, and read it, utterly unaware it had been subsequently mounted in basically every medium then existing. It's slop, but slop I dis...

The political season gets its first real kick-start tonight, with hotly contested primaries in several states, as well as the special election to fill John Murtha's seat. I have vague ideas about how things will turn out, but I'll refrain from comment until results are in. I will, however, predict ...

But what did you think of the photography, which was the most striking element of the film? That's something I'm always hesitant to comment on based solely on a DVD watch. I'm partial to black and white, and that look -- along with the Powell-esque color sequences -- was fine, but nothing so wowish...

Magilla, I have to dissent sharply from your take on Tetro. For starters, I thought the kid who played Benny was bad on an almost amateur-night level. As for Vincent Gallo -- saying he's the best he's been since Buffalo 66 is no recommendation for me, as I despised him in that (and never put myself...

My memory of The Paradine Case is the same as everyone else's -- low ebb for Hitchcock, and Barrymore was barely in the movie (I'd actually have guessed she only had the one scene, near the end -- certainly it was the only one worth recalling). Nominating her for this rather than Farmer's Daughter ...
