Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Not Afraid]

We've watched a few things lately (besides Miazaki).

We watched The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari again the other night. This is such a GREAT film! I am always amazed by the sets, the make up, the overall design and look of this film. It is one of those films that any person who apperciated film should see.

Last night, because we missed it at the cemetery, we saw A Place in the Sun. First of all, I can name 3 films where Shelly Winters has a encounter with too much water. How odd is that? Montgomery Cliff is such a babe and Liz looks amazing in this film. She was at her prime. It has been ages since I've seen this film and I was foggy on the plot and ending. It was great to see it again and remember why I loved it so much the first time.

We also saw The Man Who Came To Dinner (a GC recommendation). I had no familiarity with this film before seeing and and was very pleased with the great ensemble of character actors playing such unique and colorful characters. What a fun play this must be to do live. Betty Davis was wonderful as usual. Great fun!

I think that's been all. Still need to see Cars.
