"Impossible is Nothing" - self-congradulatory wanking

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Cinema Talk Post)

lucky760 says...

Dag, I'd have to recommend that you see 3:10 to Yuma as well. It's not what you might think of as a typical western (much depth, complexity, and intricate characters) and very worth seeing, but much different than this'n.

You pegged it, Choggie. Yeah, I did see I think the first one or two episodes in that Duvall mini-series and really enjoyed it, though it was a while back and I don't remember its cinematography striking me as much, not to say it wasn't as stunning as you mentioned. While there were mentions of opium and talk about other things happening during the era, the focus of the movie was on James, Ford, and their kin folk.

Thanks Qruel. Very glad to know this is encouraging more people to see it. Anyone who misses out on it is truly missing out.

Murders in the Rue Morgue - Trailer

silvercord says...

Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932) is a Universal Pictures pre-Code horror film loosely based on an Edgar Allan Poe short story. Bela Lugosi, one year after his legendary performance as Dracula, portrays a lunatic scientist who abducts women (one a prostitute played by Arlene Francis) and injects them with fresh blood from his vicious caged ape. The atmospheric cinematography by Karl Freund has been singled out by critics as superb, along with Robert Florey's direction. Thanks to Freund and Florey, the film has the look and feel of German expressionist films of the 1920s. However, some strongly violent scenes apparently prompted Universal executives to cut the film back to 61 minutes from what was originally an 80-minute running time. (Source: IMDB)

Jump London (1st Parkour/Free-Running documentary & demo)

arvana says...

Great video! I love how much they let it "breathe" -- so many other productions would have built up a lot of drama around their big jumps, but they just let them speak for themselves. Very meditative, and some beautiful cinematography.

How They Did The Long Takes In Children Of Men

Nebosuke says...

It was a decent movie. The cinematography was great, the action was exciting, the storyline was edgy and not predictable, and the movie asked some hard questions about the future. But... it still was only enough for me to want to see it once. I guess I would recommend it to someone who wants to see a good action movie this year and it will probably win awards too.

Just to qualify that statement, not many movies make it into my list of repeat views.

Eraserhead - "Just Cut Them Up like Regular Chickens"

Farhad2000 says...

David Lynch has so done drugs its not even funny. Especially when I read that Eraserhead's cinematography was easy to create as David Lynch had a precise idea of what he wanted, the movie was in his head waiting to get out.

Aliens - Ripley vs The Queen!

budzos says...

Great movie, bad post. For some reason I really dislike seeing cinema presented in a 320x240 flash box with crap sound. I like interesting or weird or illustrative clips from films on the sift, but entire scenes from high-production-value pictures like this deserve better treatment. It's like listening to Mozart on ringtones.

By the way this is probably my favourite overall film. I must have seen it literally thirty times start to finish and I enjoy it more with every viewing. The consistent quality in all departments is way above and beyond the standard with this film. Art direction, sound design, cinematography (especially the lighting), editing, plot, costuming, props, sets, you name it, every single department hit a home run on this picture. That's why it will emerge as an all-time classic. In 100 years, people will still watch "Aliens" and it will be held up as the quintessential late twentieth-century optical-effects-based action film.

This is another one I try to make girlfriends watch. If they are sporting about it, great, but if they actually enjoy it, that's like having a 24 inch waist and D-cups.

Pasties and a GString-Tom Waits 79 Awesomly Sleazy Live Show

nazdorovia says...

why thank you, it's my first one...I saw Down by Law yesterday (Jim Jarmusch film) and the whole thing is scored to Tom Waits. It's got some really terrific cinematography, especially if you've ever been to New Orleans. Check it out.

Koyaanisqatsi - Resource

Farhad2000 says...

I love this movie.

Koyaanisqatsi: Life out of Balance is a 1982 documentary film directed by Godfrey Reggio with music composed by minimalist composer Philip Glass and cinematography by Ron Fricke. The film consists primarily of slow motion and time-lapse photography of cities and natural landscapes across the United States. The documentary contains neither dialog nor narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and the music that accompanies them. In the Hopi language, the word Koyaanisqatsi means 'life of moral corruption and turmoil, life out of balance', and the film implies that modern humanity is living in such a way.

Philip Glass and the Philip Glass Ensemble have toured with the film, playing music live in front of the film screen.

The film is the first in the Qatsi trilogy of films: it is followed by Powaqqatsi (1988) and Naqoyqatsi (2002). The trilogy depicts different aspects of the relationship between man and technology. Koyaanisqatsi is the best known of the trilogy and is considered a cult film. Still, due to copyright issues, the film was out of print for most of the 1990s.

Vahtang Kikabidze - Моя песня (USSR circa 70's)

Farhad2000 says...

This is one of my favourite songs from the Soviet film "Mimino", I would have loved to sift a trailer for you however there are no DVDs of the movies I used to watch really. He is the one who starred in the movie and also sang the songs. Prolly sifting this for myself but whatever.

Before stepping on stage this is what he says:

"Why do I sing this song? It's because I love the blue sky above Tbilisi, it's mountains, it's sun. When my soul is happy I sing it, when sad I still sing it. My song is born from this land, this sun, from my people. I sing and I feel as old age dawns, and I remember my childhood... I become very sad... but I still sing."

Kikabidze Vakhtang Konstantinovich, a professional singer, actor, screenwriter, producer, the author of many songs, was born in Georgia (Tbilisi) in 1938 on July 19th. Georgian national actor, the winner of USSR state premium, the winner of different international song concourses and film festivals. The chevalier of awards of honour of the king Vakhtang Gorgasali (of Nikolai Wondermonger and Knight Cross of St. Konstantin the Great). The honourable citizen. In 1999 in Moscow on the "Star Square" was founded his star. In cinematography he created a pleiad of eminent actors who became very popular. Here is the list of such films as: "Ne gor'ui", "Mimino", "Melodii Veriiskogo Kvartala", "Sovsem propashii" and so on. His last film "Fortuna" was made with the producer Georgi Danelia in 2000. Constantly goes on tours. As a scriptwriter and producer made two feature films: "Bud' Zdorov, dorogoi" (took the first premium on the international comedy festival in Grabovo, Bulgaria) and "Muzchini i vse ostal'nie". Married with two children and three grandchildren. Since 1996 has been brought in the international encyclopedia "Who is who".

This makes me happy and sad at the same time.
