2001: A Space Odyssey
DVD/ Color/ 148 Mins./ G/1968
Based on Arthur C. Clarke's story "The Sentinel," Stanley Kubrick's quiet masterpiece probes the mysteries of space and human destiny. In the years between primitive man's discovery of lethal weapons and the birth of the star child, astronauts David Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood) confront HAL-9000, the computer operating their ship. Nominated for four Academy Awards, Kubrick's epic won for its stunning special effects.

Check out IMDb for some interesting trivia.

BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
DVD/ Color/ 109 Mins./ R/ 1970

Film critic Roger Ebert penned the screenplay for this Russ Meyer classic, which isn't so much a sequel to the original (based on the Jacqueline Susann novel) as an ebulliently vulgar remake. Chronicling the adventures of a trio of female rockers who find their way from the heartland to Hollywood, the film features all the Meyer staples: bountiful breasts, lesbian love scenes and drug-fueled descents into murder and madness.

Can't stop watching it. Looking for the soundtrack. The movie has the Strawberry Alarm Clock in it and The Carrie Nations. I am going to have to watch this again with my friend Ralph this weekend but this time with the commentary by Roger Ebert (he has a lot of explaining to do). Would prefer to hear what Russ Meyer had to say about this film but unfortunately he passed away (GOD rest his soul).

Not a movie, but I just watch the "Long Way Round" & "Long Way Down" series almost in one sitting. I am definitely going to do something like this in my life someday.

My sister and I rented the second Fantastic Four movie, and 300, and those are the films I've seen recently. They were alright, but not too exceptional, in my opinion.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
NA/ Color/ 96 Mins./ R/ 2007
From the minds of the people who brought you "Freaks and Geeks" comes this well conceived parody of the life and times of Dewey Cox, a ficticious musician with an interesting, yet comical rags to riches story. Good for it's broad portrayals and it's poke at the recent surge of biolographical genre movies, this film will no doubt bring a tear to your eye from all the laughing that you will do.


...oh and I watched BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS again.

3:10 To Yuma
DVD/ Color/ 122 Mins./ R/ 2007
Rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) agrees to transport the captured outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe) to the nearest town with a rail station, where they'll wait for a train to court in Yuma. Holed up in the hotel near the station, Wade wreaks psychological havoc on Evans, while Wade's henchmen plan their next move. Director James Mangold's suspense-filled Western is a remake of the 1957 classic starring Glenn Ford and Van Heflin.

Cloverfield was the last film I saw.
I thought it was pretty good.
It wasn't bad. I thought the way they weaved the love story subplot into the movie without the usual omnipotent director techniques was clever and - considering it was in the midst of a Godzilla like monster attack - fairly realistic.

September Dawn
DVD/ Color/ 111 Mins. / R/ 2006
More than 100 years before Sept. 11, 2001, another act of religious fanaticism claimed the lives of upwards of 120 men, women and children when a band of Mormon militiamen and Paiute Indians slaughtered a wagon train of westward-bound settlers. This tragic tale chronicles those events, juxtaposing a fictional love story and a fact-based account of the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre. Terence Stamp, Jon Voight, Lolita Davidovich and Dean Cain star.

As horrific films go, it wasn’t as bad as critics panned. Going to IMDB for more information, I found the forum boards to be as active as some of the discussions found on RF.
