Nevermind. I just looked at it through Amazon. I would be highly suspicious of the character of anyone who reccomends it for reasons other than it being a "part of a program on the history of cinema" seeing as apparently it caused a ridge in the film industry and had a lot of real - life effects on society after its release.
I like 'Gone With The Wind' but I wouldn't promote the racial undertones of the book, and it looks like that is exactly what was intended by him hawking the 'theme' of the film.
Idiots.

The last movie I watched was some random-ness on the SciFi channel. It was called the Forsaken. It was terrible. I was NOT impressed to say the least. Waste of film, Waste of time is what I say.

I don't get it. But I also have seen that particular movie.
I do like Kiss meets The Phantom of the Park, in all it's glowy cheesy goodness. But most probably you'll find me glued to the screen drooling over Gene Simmons.

QUEENOFDARKNESS57: First off, with the exception of several adult cartoons ["King of The Hill", "Family Guy", "American Dad", "The Simpsons" & "South Park"] & maybe the Weather Channel, most Amerikkkan television programmes since 2001 went down the tubes. My favourite Film-Noir flicks will require a totally seperate post. So get ready to do some reading.

QUEENOFDARKNESS57:My favourite Film-Noir movies are:
*Sin City [2005].
*L.A. Confidential [1997].
*Last Man Standing [1997] [most violent one ever].
*Scarface [1932 Howard Hawks version with Paul Muni as Tony].
*Sunset Boulevard [1950].
*The Postman Always Rings Twice" [1946 version with Lana Turner, Hume Cronyn, John
Garfield & the future Fred Flintstone, Alan Reed].
*Brute Force [1949].
*Detour [1947].
*Raw Deal [1947].
*Diabolique [1955 French version].
*White Heat [1947] [best James Cagney movie ever].
*Scarlet Street [1945].
*Mildred Pierce [1949] [loved the movie, still hate Joan Crawford].
*Baby Face [1933] [one of Barbara Stanwyck's best roles].
*Gilda [1946].
*The Killers [1946].
*The Narrow Margin [1950].
*Criss-Cross [1952].
Plus: Anything with Orson Welles, Niagra [1953] & Don't Bother To Knock [1952], both with Marilyn Monroe.
OK. So the 1st 3 movies on the list were Neo-Noir flicks. But they count

Good Bye Lenin
Fantastic German film about the dissolution of communist East Germany and its consequences for a boy and his mother, to not spoil the plot, which I think is described on the back of the DVD, but nevertheless... I loved everything about this film. The actors are great, the narration (by the boy), the way it describes this period in history in such a personal way, the music by Yann Tiersen (who did Amélie, which is also lovely, and similarly engaging on a human level) and just the whole aesthetic of it hits all the right spots. Made me feel all nostalgic about a time and place I've never even experienced, which is as good a testament as any to the emotional impact it has. If I hadn't watched it with a friend of mine, I would probably have cried at least thirteen times. As it was, I mostly laughed, and got goosebumps every five minutes, which is good too. Highly recommended, definitely. Will have to buy it soon...

The last movie I watched at home was Ju-On. I have to admit that after I saw the original, the Grudge made a lot more sense to me. Of course, watching Ju-On makes watching the Grudge a lot more painful.
The last movie I saw in the theater was Underworld Evolution. I still haven't gotten over my disappointment and I am a little irate that I will never get back those two hours of my life. A shame really, because I liked the first one.

Dark Star. An early sci-fi film by John Carpenter and Dan o'Bannon. Four disfunctional freaks on a scout ship under orders to blow up unstable planets. With talking bombs and the least convincing alien ever.
That was a couple of weeks ago, mind. Might watch it again tonight. I'm in a nerdy mood. (No changes there.)

LOY: I've read "Dark City Dames" during the Xmas/Kwanzaa/Chanukkah holiday weekend. Great book! Thanks to reading it, Marie Windsor, Coleen Gray & Audrey Totter are my new favourite oldschool actresses. There was another actress mentioned in the book from the ATL, my old hometown. She came to Hollywood in the 1940s this poor White bigot with a thick Southern accent, no acting skills & great looks. After meeting/dating/eventually marrying director Charles "King" Vidor, this ATLien Film-Noir actress spoke with better diction, became more Liberal [especially in the race-relations area], learned other languages & landed some choice film roles. She also had director/actor/ranch owner John Huston as her 2nd husband, then divoriced him & left Hollywood in the dust. Once again, great book! Muller did his homework. Fully. Haven't read "Dark City" yet. Speaking of Coleen gray, she came to S.F. to be guest speaker at a 2-week long Film-Noir movie festival called Noir City at the Palace of Fine Arts in Seacliff [the rich part of town--love the mansions, hate its snobby, classist occupants]. I missed her appearance! Damn.

Hidden Fortress Dir. Akira Kurosawa
This is one of my all time favourite Japanese films, and if you watch this film alongside Star Wars Episode 4, you will see some interesting similarities in the story, as this film was a major influence on George Lucas.

I like Akira Kurosawa films, I especially enjoyed Kakushi-toride no san-akunin, I mean talk about it being an old film. I also enjoyed Shichinin no samurai, Yojimbo, Ichiban utsukushiku, and Tengoku to jigoku. I think Akira was a great director and writer. I was saddend when I heard of his passing 8 years ago.
Well recently I just finished watching the movies Audition and Another Heaven. I thought they were really good movies not to mention pretty entertaining.

A documentary about the slave mutiny aboard the Amistad. Actress Alfre Woodard narrates, with character voices/co-narration by actors Charles Durning & Brock Peters. Just something I felt like watching to commermorate Black History Month.
