I watched both versions of My Darling Clementine today. It's a pretty entertaining telling of Wyatt Earp and Tombstone but there are a lot of factual errors here and there. But still another good John Ford film. (ie. James Earp was the eldest and not the youngest and Morgan Earp was the one assassinated causing the whole vendetta.)

I have a crush on Robert (Bob) Cummings. He was really, really funny! I'm watching Princess O'Rourke right now. Goofy slapstick comedy. Love it. I loved him in The Devil and Miss Jones, too. And he was there at Disneyland's opening day. What's not to love?

Love that Bob.

Never Cry Wolf
Great movie.
Darn that Brian Dennehy!

I wish I hadn't chased after it on its 3rd and hopefully near last weekend of release. Where the Wild Things Are was a huge disappointment. The kid was great as Max, but the whiny, neurotic, boring "Wild Things" were a what were they thinking mistake of monstrous proportions.

Holy crap, Jeff Daniels was incredible in The Squid and the Whale. Just rode that character straight through the film without any deviations. Fantastic. I've been avoiding this one due to cringing at this type of fare but it was well worth wincing through.

Watched No Country For Old Men tonight- I love that movie, Rose just says it's a stupid movie.

No Country was my fave movie of that year, so I was surprised that it won Best Picture. That same year, I also adored There Will Be Blood, but I felt lonely in that response.

innerSpaceman · 11-11-2009, 10:32 AM

I liked There Will Be Blood a lot more than No Country, though I really enjoyed them both. Purchased the former, though it's not the kind of movie that has high repeatability with me. But didn't buy the latter, which is telling of my preference.

Both were great films. I want to see the new Coen Brothers movie, but I fear it will be out of theaters before I get around to it. Not doing too well, I think.

No Country was alright, it just didn't have enough substance for me. It never went beyond, "Dude, check this creepy motherfvcker out!" Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the creepy motherfvcker, but it left me wanting so much more.

Never did see TWBB.

Regarding Squid and the Whale...LOVED it. I've been putting off seeing it because of the luke warm reception it seemed to have received. I knew not at all what it was about, and once we started watching it I was worried because, like CP, I generally don't really enjoy movies on that subject. But it sucked me in, the performances were so great and the film so well put together. Maybe not a lot of repeatability, but I'm really glad I saw it.
