The rest of us talk about what we liked and don't liked about various movies but don't belittle others for their opinions on the same films. Sorry, Jay, but 1/ who's berating anybody, and 2/ what makes you think I'm so old? Every time I post a review, I'm right. Every time! I mean...is a bird showing off, when it flies?

A24 4,327 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Interesting movie. It's about homosexuality and interracial relationships in the '50s. Why is it interesting? Because the entire film is made using the stylistics of a '50s movie and in the '50s both subjects were not talked about in Hollywood. Julianne Moore is perfect. Elmer Bernstein's music reminded me of John Williams' autumny scores. 7/10 Alex Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,508 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Agreed. Now, this is a 7/10 film, Alex. Dennis Quaid gives a customary low-key performance, that reminds me of his character in PLAYING BY HEART, another underrated, under seen film. Haysbert is fine, and ever since I saw Julianne More bottomless, in SHORT CUTS...well, let's just say I've been a fan This is the best film that Douglas Sirk never made.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Love and Friendship (2016) Outstanding Whit Stillman film from last year, now streaming on Amazon Prime. This immediately shot into the highest tier of Jane Austen adaptations for me. It's probably the most genuinely funny, witty period piece I've ever seen. Kate Beckinsale is great as the awful, but entertaining, Lady Susan. The entire ensemble cast is excellent from top to bottom, they all really seemed to be able to channel the arch, satirical tone the film was going for. The style of the film is very cool as well, with each character getting an introductory "title card" explaining who they are. An overlooked gem of last year!

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Indy and the last crusade. Wow, I never expected it to be THAT good! Where to start? The whole thing sounded so much better overall, you'd think they made the other two films thirty years ago. Though the story is at times absurd for non-religious people, it was much more compelling and interesting than the first two. Actually, I'd rather just pretend Temple of Doom never existed. What a drag that was compared to this one. This entry was also much more light-hearted and even funny at times. Sean Connery really hash an enormoush speech defect, good gracioush. But the best aspect was undoubtedly Williams' fantastic score. The holy grail theme is just magnificent. This was the first time that JW moved me so deeply, I just couldn't get enough of those solemn brass chords. Then the theme heard in 'Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra'... I love it when Williams uses trumpets and oboes to play triplets at the same time. Then the Nazi theme... I've been watching a lot of Williams films this month: three Indy movies and Born on the Fourth of July, and then I also listened to a bunch of Boston Pops albums. I'm officially hooked on his scores and this one had better have a good album representation. Nick1Ø66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always my second favourite of the three Indy films (and still is), but I find myself enjoying it more now than ever. In some ways I think it's superior to Raiders, and IMO the last act of Crusade beats the last act in Raiders. That said, what hasn't grown on me is the "flashback" prologue, which I used to find to be interesting but now I just think its distracting. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
