Some movies
Jul. 1st, 2007 10:39 pmI've have been watching a bunch of movies this weekend. Here is what I have watched...
A Good Woman - 1930's remake of 'Lady Windamere's Fan'with Scarlet Johannson. The costumes and sets were gorgeous (made me want to 1) live in the 30's and 2) go to Amalfi), and Scarlet was just as beautiful as ever, but something about it was off for me. Something didn't seem to quite work. Also Helen Hunt's character irritated me so much I actually fastforwarded through her. I'd forgot what a genius Oscar Wilde was. Those epigrams are just as clever as they were 0ver 100 years ago...
Pride and Prejudice - The new one with Keira Knightley. I actually loved it. There was something very comfortable/comforting about it, especially the way that everything worked out perfectly in the end. I could see how Elizabeth Bennett and Darcy live in so many people's hearts.
On the Line - Lance Bass' movie, co-starring Joey. It was about as good as expected. I really like Lance. (He is also really gay. The movie would have played just as well -better? - if he'd been chasing after the guy of his dreams. My favorite part was the spoof at the end where Justin and Chris had cameos as flaming makeup/hair stylists. For some reason the kiss scene at the end was really hot. Or rather, Lance kissing was really hot. Like porn. I don't quite understand it, but there you are. I guess it was the angle or the way the light hit him.
Stella Maris - Silent film from 1917 starring Mary Pickford, aka America's Sweetheart. I actually just skimmed through some of it, but the acting was much more natural than I expected. And Mary was a great actress. Also, her hair is just gorgeous. The really cool thing was that this DVD had news reels and Mary's home movies on it for the extras, which were really neat to watch, because I'd never seen candid footage from that time period before.
Amour de Femme - French lesbian film about a married woman who falls in love with a dancer. Very nice, quietly beautiful film. The dancer looked almost exactly like Seri from Vivi, which was kind of cool, and kind of weird.
