As always I will follow gladly your advice Sir Henry. Our Man in Hawai is on his way already!
BTW: Can anybody explain to me, why all those Disney movies are so damn expensive?
Thank you for the Sir, but I only remember recommending Our Man In Havana???
Obviously a redundant question. Shame on you.
OK, I'll play.
Greed.
Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037. Wonderful documentary of the year-long path of some carefully selected spruce lumber and twelve thousand pieces of other materials into a concert grand piano. Craftsmanship is not dead yet.
That's (almost) true, and I immediately followed your advice. Man With A White Suit wasn't available, though.

Sounds legit..and I thought it was about collector items. Glad I got Fantasia and Basil quite cheap then.
Not a movie per se, but I've gotten through the first 3 seasons of Breaking Bad over the past 2-3 weeks on Netflix. Watched the premier live and it just didn't catch my attention.
A friend told me I needed to watch this after I told her The Wire was my favorite show.
She was right.
Can't wait to watch the 4th season on Netflix and start catching up on the current season OnDemand.

Did I just watch the whole season 4 this weekend...
what a great ride!
I'm quite late, too.

Just watched The Sunami and The Cherry Blossom. A documentary I saw on HBO. Wow. Basically it's about how the Japanese gain strength from the Cherry Tree during times of trouble.
This is a better thread for television: What's on T.V.?.

"Bad Day At Black Rock" is an excellent, taut, sharply edited and very well scripted movie. Terrific acting, too and beautifully photographed in crisp, clear (and ominous) black and white film. Small town USA at its xenophobic nastiest.
It is also unusual - and courageous - in that it was a very early movie which dealt with the somewhat controversial (or embarrassing) and very shaming topic of the treatment of Japanese-Americans in the USA during WW2 (a topic also covered in the excellent book "Snow Falling On Cedars" by David Guterson).
The fact that Bad Day at Black Rock dealt with this as early as the 1950s is yet another reason that this crisp, excellent movie is an absolute classic.

Yes. There is something in that, I must admit. Greed, greed, pure and simple avarice....
That's very strange, I received the DVD 2-3 days ago and tested it yesterday, because I was curious about the strange smell (!) of the DVD and somewhat cheap look of the coverprint..not to say that it had Korean stuff printed on the back...what have you become Amazon!
The print was actually fine, just curious now, because it was in color?!
Ah, it is funny how memory works. Had you not pointed that out to me, I would not have considered the matter. So, I vividly recall it in black and white (and still see it in my mind's eye as a black and white movie) because, (now that you have drawn my attention to it), I first saw it on TV when we still had a black and white TV.........
Anyway, what did you think? When I saw it as a teenager, I thought it was a really superb movie.....
No, I haven't seen it yet. Just wanted to see if the print is ok and the language in english, because the package seemed so incredible cheap for 12 GBP.
Sometimes they think of old b&w films as unbearable for modern audiences and start releasing colorized versions of brilliant movies (Dangerous Game comes to mind or The Last Man on Earth), so I became sceptical reading your post. As usual.

I'm looking for reports on Total Recall (2012). Almost went to see it today, but decided I did not want to be a guinea pig. No spoilers please!

The mutant chick with the three boobs better be in this new version.
28 Days Later- This movie scares me with it's vision. The people are just as scary as the infected. (I'm thinking of the soldiers at the end.)
I watched Contagion a week or two ago, and although it wasn't a great movie, they did a very good job portraying how people and the government would react to a massive epidemic that kills millions of people.
I found it a bit scarier than 28 Days Later......I guess because there is more of a chance that the scenario in Contagion could happen.
I got the same feeling in War of the Worlds. It seems like when portrayals of civilization and normalcy breaking down, a new set of "me" standards arises.
Just went to the cinema to see this. I liked it.
