Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Gemini Cricket]

Born Yesterday - I was so curious about this movie for awhile and got to see it on TCM on Demand just recently. Loved it. I had heard people impersonate Holliday before but had never seen the real performance behind it. Good stuff.

Nobody's Fool - Liked Newman in this one. Such a cool, mellow movie.

Superbad - I can watch this one again and again. It's so much fun.

Krull - Liam Neeson's in it. I think this was one of his first films. I liked it as a kid, don't think I'd enjoy it now. I think the last time I saw it was on HBO in the 80's.

Half Nelson - Couldn't get through it. It was too dull, imho. Liked Gosling's acting in it but not enough to keep me tuned in...


Last night, I watched 3/4 of The Great Ziegfeld. It's a good film, but man it's loooong. Weird that Myrna Loy gets second billing she shows up 2hrs into the film. The spiral staircase scene is still one of my favorites of all-time.
