Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Um, what did Spielberg have to do with Flags of Our Fathers or Letters from Iwo Jima? Was he an exec producer or something?

Even if so ... those films were the artistic vision of Clint Eastwood and no one else. (well, I suppose the writers, blah, blah)

Watanabe would seem great in a slasher film. He's got moxie to spare, and he's great in everything he does. Still ... Letters from Iwo Jima = standard war film (in Japanese) ... Flags of Our Fathers = not your father's war movie.

Tonight I watched For Your Consideration. Let's just say ... Hollywood satarists should not turn the lens upon their own world. Least funny outting by the group who gave us Best in Show and A Mighty Wind.



(And .... it skipped ahead of the "long wait" movies on my Netflix queue, which means I will not be seeing Half Nelson before the Oscars on Sunday. Bah.)
