letop5: mars 2009

My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Lundi 23 mars 2009. I (still) LOVE YOU, MAN. Democracy is not dead. I LOVE YOU, MAN finished second, and that ain't too bad. A mere $6 million behind Nicolas Cage. Wait, what is "mere" about $6 million? Okay, well it was a crowded weekend, so you have to forgive the film that. But having seen it again, I will say that my initial impressions. If you were wondering, then, wonder no more: I LOVE YOU, MAN is "laugh-out loud funny! And gets "two thumbs up!

letop5: ONCE | on hbo
http://letop5.blogspot.com/2009/06/once-on-hbo.html
My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Mardi 23 juin 2009. Missed this one two years ago, and have wanted to see it since. Many compared AUGUST RUSH to ONCE- they both feature a love story, a male musician, and some great city locations- but the similarities kind of stop there. ONCE is.a remarkable achievement. And I don't mean to discredit RUSH, but ONCE doesn't just hit the ball; it knocks it out of the park. Did I just make a baseball metaphor? Yes, I did.*. In five: 4.5/5. I actually h...

letop5: décembre 2008

My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Lundi 29 décembre 2008. Letop5 announces: Top 5 of '08. The Hollywood Reporter had their film critics announce their top 10 films of 2008. This morning. I always think it's a little arbitrary to do "top 10" lists in this métier, seeing as, in doing so, one attempts to compare extremely different films. Can you really compare MADAGASCAR 2 to REVOLUTIONARY ROAD? IRON MAN to DOUBT? I guess the real question is, "Who cares? And secondly, "Is MADAGASCAR 2.

My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Samedi 25 octobre 2008. Tres cool: ENTRE LES MURS [AFI Preview]. The director, Laurent Cantet, won the Golden Palm (Palm d'Or, the highest prize) at the 2008 Cannes Film festival in May, hence the acclaim of AFI getting a hold of this great film so quickly. Definitely the one I'm most interested in viewing, and definitely going to be a packed showing. Buy your tickets after reading a few words from AFI. Press conference with the director (in French):.

My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Jeudi 31 juillet 2008. I'm so far behind, it's killing me. Like maybe literally; there are dark circles under my eyes. Or there would be, if I weren't dark, in general. And now I'm suffering, too. I feel like I haven't slept in over a week. Mostly because I barely have. But you know what, for Batman.it's worth it. I'll get to the other movies, restaurants and nightclubs later. Plot: Batman goes dark for good. In five: 5/5 (Is that a first for letop5?

letop5: Back, in the red
http://letop5.blogspot.com/2009/06/back-in-red.html
My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Lundi 1 juin 2009. Back, in the red. Wow, the last time I posted was.23 march 2009. It is now June 1st. Where have I been? There is no life. I'm like Ursula in THE LITTLE MERMAID, whose job, she claims, is to help unfortunate merfolk. "That's what I do," she tells Ariel. "It's what I live for.". Yeah, I know she was lying. But the words fit my story, so I'm using them. To remind me what's what. It's like culture homework. Bon soire mon amie! Subscribe...

My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Dimanche 8 juin 2008. YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN. I'm not sure where to start on this one. I don't know where to begin. It was atrocious on a cinematic level. The jokes were tried, the story rather weak and Adam Sandler's selfish and vain attempts at physical comedy felt like Ben Stiller in ZOOLANDER meets Will Ferrell in TALLADEGA NIGHTS meets Ben Stiller in DODGEBALL meets Will FerrelL in SEMI-PRO.in other words, selfish and vain. PLOT: imdb says...

letop5: novembre 2008
http://letop5.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
My culture crush on film and food finally has a home. Mercredi 26 novembre 2008. I don't want to be wrapped up in the sentimentality of it. I don't, but I am. This movie brought me to tears, probably especially because Prop 8 just passed in California, and I'm still smarting from what I personally, benevolently view as the unfortunate, misguided idiocy of the general public. So on the heels of that historic change enters this film by Gus Van Sant.of course I lost it! Oops, we're back at square one. Last ...
