did you notice my post to demonrail where i said i LOVED midnight in paris? cuz i do. i mentioned to evollove that yeah was a bit sentimental but "Eh!" by "eh!" i mean "whatever" or "i don't care" or "it doesn't kill the movie." plus, wasn't ellen page great in it? horrible character, great performance. anyway evollove seems to prefer colder/more analytical movies-- for me midnight in paris was 100 times better than celebrity-- but i still liked celebrity. |

I do not enjoy most woody allen movies. Just don't. I find them boring and inconsequential. even the "funny" ones.

Maybe now, but I remember all kinds of fuss and excitement about it when it originally came out. It didn't do much for me but plenty of people considered it a masterpiece at the time. Personally I preferred Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.

i just realized that due to a brain inFARTction i mixed up the stories/casts of midnight in paris and to rome with love and i threw in the name "celebrity" that had nothing to do with nothing. busy fucking day!
because to rome with love is a bunch of stories i mixed up the ellen page /jesse whatever story with the midnight in paris story. well, both involve some sort of time travel, right? hA! but midnight in paris is standalone (and great!). then i was thinking about the roberto begnini storyline from "to rome with love" and called it "celebrity!' because, fuck, it's about being famous for the fuck of it (that's what i called "too telegraphed"). i did place the opera story correctly. i totally forgot the penelope story which is kinda like bullets over broadway in that the male protagonist decides the city is too much and goes back home (and there's criminals). anyway, way to fuck it all up. yay me! haa haaa haaa. |

American Gangster Wears its Scorsese influences a bit too loudly but Russell Crowe is excellent. Charley Varrick Bit of a forgotten gem, this. Feels a bit like it was made for TV but no worse for that. Lots of cliched 70s bank robber types in cheap brown suits driving around 70s Reno trying to escape the Mob. No masterpiece but a great film to watch laying on the sofa with a massive sandwich when everyone's out. |

Another one I rewatched
Shaft Seriously overrated. Take away the black angle and this is as forgettable as fuck. There's far better and more entertaining blaxploitation movies than this one, making it hard to see how Shaft remains the most well known. Foxy Brown This is much more like it. Shafts problem may be that Richard Roundtree just wasn't interesting or charismatic enough to carry a whole film (never mind the sequels), at least compared with Pam Grier. |
