Description: Past movies.
 

The Road (2009) 
  Dir:John Hillcoat What an awful film! This is a post-holocaust plot looking for a reason to exist. To emphasize a mood, there is very little colour, and this goes for the plot, too. I have a liking for post-holocaust movies which don't have Zombies in them, so I endured this to the end,... more »

The Colossus of Rhodes 
  The Colossus of Rhodes 1961 NR 128 minutes When Greek warrior Darios (Rory Calhoun) arrives in Rhodes in 280 B.C., he finds it under the thumb of the dictatorial King Serse (Roberto Camardiel). Under the watchful eye of the massive statue of Apollo, Darios romances Diala (Lea Massari) and joins Peliocles (Georges Marchal) in his rebellion against Serse. Director Sergio Leone's debut film is set against the backdrop of one of the real-life, albeit now toppled, Seven Wonders of the World.... more »

MASH (1970) 
  I didn't much care for this in 1970, and liked it only marginally better on second viewing today. Visually, the Last Supper shot was a forgotten delight, but dwelling on the tableau too long detracted from it. In general the visuals of the military camp were well done, though. To me the best line, which no doubt everyone remembers... more »

Errol Morris's One Good Eye 
  A year and a half ago, after reading the New York Time review of "Believing is Seeing" by Errol Morris, I posted a pointer to it for friends for their disregard. The review itself was interesting enough for me. [link] Since then I've seen "The Fog of War" as well as his TV series "First... more »

"A Life In The Theatre" Broderick/Lemmon 
  Has anybody ever seen this film? I saw the trailer, and really wanted to see it, but it never came to any cinema or TV station near me, so now I'm looking for a DVD of it, and even Ebay is not very productive... So I guess it wasn't a huge hit. Melanie

Happy 90th, Indian director Mrinal Sen! ("The Case is Closed," 1982) 
  The last movie he directed was in 2002. [link] "Sen's films have won numerous international awards. The Case Is Closed (1982), a scathing look at the hypocritical reaction of a bourgeois Calcutta family to the death of a servant boy, took home the Jury Prize from the 1983 Cannes Film Festival."... more »

Ping: gtr 
  Gtr, Not sure if you liked Ramin Bahrani's Man Push Cart, but I recently saw Goodbye Solo and Chop Shop and I definitely recommend both. Great stuff.

"Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" - rude shock 
  I don't expect Leonard Maltin, in his guide, to include warnings of certain sick elements in ALL such movies.....there are far too many. But this HAS to be an exception. What excuse would any author have for not doing so? By that I mean: While it's not that surprising, sad to say, to see a racist musical number in a 1950s movie - in this case, a cannibal scene that conveniently includes a gorilla - what made it worse than unbelievable was when they started singing "Ain't Misbehavin."... more »
