That and gymnastics... which I am absolutely obsessed with. The scoring system remains one of the world's infernal mysteries, but I am determined to crack the code.
THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
This one was made in the 1930's by Powell, and while it's a wee bit melodramatic is full of meaning and undertone.
I like the concept of the land being the edge of the world - thematically and literally for these people. The shots are stunning, and the tension is captured in such an intense way that the story becomes riveting.
Brideshead Revisited.
I got sick of waiting for someone to come and see it with me, so I went by myself.
The thing that always baffles me about these types is how the whole story revolves around a love that is completely and utterly insubstantial. They're in love, but why, who the heaven's knows?
Vicky Cristina BarcelonaLoved it.
Loved the shots.
Loved the acting.
Loved the story.
I do get the impression that Woody Allen is a bit of a pervert, but if you can look beyond that then I think you'll be ok.

hooray! hooray for movies! come down and watch some with me! i am back now!
If i lived there I would watch them with you SO fast. But not Brideshead revisited...I didn't want to see that for some reason. I'm actually signed up for a class here by NYU where you just watch movies before they are released with critics and directors. Maybe you should move HERE. By me.
You are dead to me...if I remember correctly we had plans to see Brideshead Revisted and someone bailed on me. Dead Missy, DEAD!
I want to go see that barcelona one and now that you like it i will be going.
