JSngry Posted June 27 Author Report Share Posted June 27 I think I saw it a long time ago...no clear memories of it though. But Stewart was generally quite good in serious westerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was the oldest on the list, so it was the first one watched. Really well done with not a lot of "lens shifting" needed at all, which for 74 year old Western ain't bad at all, imo. The one up today was not so luck. Bend Of The River from 1952. Good core story, well-told, but also with a whole lot of period trappings that are just distracting and uncomfortable. I like Westerns, especially the ones that don't have really happy endings for anybody. Me too. "The Searchers" is a case in point. I think Duke's character knows that this happy ending won't last, and that a young woman raised in a tribe won't be happy coming back. Of course, that may just be me, but I do love that great, great Western! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted July 5 Report Share Posted July 5 World on a Wire (German: Welt am Draht), a 1973 German sci fi TV serial, directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, courtesy of the Criterion Channel. Very prescient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Pretty interesting film. As the poster suggests, it has more in common with Rebel Without a Cause than, say, The Defiant Ones.

Dub Modal Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 finally got around to watching American Fiction. Have been trying to catch this movie for several months. It was stellar, although the ending(s) isn't without some confusion on my part. Watched through the credits and noticed Patrice Rushen plays piano on the film's score. Check it out. Satire like this doesn't get made enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me, in an oblique way, of Sideways. Something about the pacing, the characters, the relationships, and I'm sure the music too.
