Montage 66: Really Short reviews
http://bunuel.blogspot.com/2015/03/really-short-reviews.html
8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Thursday, March 05, 2015. A few recent older movies I've seen. Heaven Knows, Mr Allison. Nun But the Marines. Good solid Hollywood film by John Huston with Deborah Kehr and Robert Mitchum stuck on an island in the South Pacific together as they hide from the Japanese and await the war to end. It darn near almost gets hokey and heavy handed but ends on the right tone. The Sun Shines Bright. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Montage 66: January 2015
http://bunuel.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Monday, January 26, 2015. These lists get harder to do each year because I find I have a difficult time make a definitive list; and all too often I'll enjoy a film but then find flaws that keep it from being truly great and making a 'top ten' of the year. I found 2014 to be a good year but not an exceptional year; even though there certainly were exceptional moments in many films. Here, then, is a list of films I enjoyed last year.

Montage 66: Films re-watched 2014
http://bunuel.blogspot.com/2014/12/films-re-watched-2014.html
8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. Each year is a year of film discoveries; some new, some old. But too each year there are films I re-watch because I enjoy them or because I want to see them again. Here are some of the films I saw again in 2014. I grew up in Colorado and I love skiing so it fits the bill every time. This is really one of the best sports movies ever made because it cuts through the rah-rah-rah. Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud.

8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Friday, January 16, 2015. Older Film Discoveries 2014.

Carol Reed, 1965] - Charlton Heston as Michelangelo! Julian Duvivier, 1963] - A nice slice of French noir by Duvivier that no one has seen. The Most Wonderful Evening of My Life. Ettore Scola, 1972].

Montage 66: April 2015
http://bunuel.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Sunday, April 12, 2015. Clouds of Middle Age. Clouds of Sils Maria. Olivier Assayas continues his trend toward making smart, well-written, meta-narrative films laced with a trace of irony. The film is deserving of a longer review but others have done that so I will instead give a list of references in the film as well as things I saw that reminded me of other films and such. So what about clouds? I find the poem 'Mutability'.

Montage 66: Woman on the Run
http://bunuel.blogspot.com/2015/03/woman-on-run.html
8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Woman on the Run. Woman on the Run. Norman Foster - 1950]. Considering this is a prominent San Francisco noir it is ironic that the two best scenes were not shot in San Francisco - the first scene was shot on Bunker Hill in Los Angeles, and the final scene was shot in Santa Monica at the Ocean Park Pier. It will show again at the Noir City Festival. April 3rd at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Origins o...

Montage 66: Man of Flowers
http://bunuel.blogspot.com/2015/02/man-of-flowers.html
8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Monday, February 02, 2015. Man of Flowers [Paul Cox - 1983). This terrific film made in 1983 by Australian filmmaker Paul Cox is about an eccentric, lonely middle aged man [Norman Kay] who derives pleasure from flowers, bronze statues, music and a female stripper named Lisa [Alyson Best] whom he has hired to perform in his house once a week. The one weak character in the film is the artist boyfriend who tries to force Charles to b...

Montage 66: Whiplash
http://bunuel.blogspot.com/2014/10/whiplash.html
8217;Party of the first part’ sometimes comes out ‘arty o’ the irst art.’. Sunday, October 19, 2014. Some would say Whiplash is about a music conservatory student drummer who - with the help of a sadistic teacher - achieves success. But really the film is about a student who has to endure the abuse and manipulative tactics from the teacher on the way to achieving success. It's a terrific film; entertaining, intense and rather unpredictable. Especially the final scene when the student gets humiliated ...
