'The King of Hearts' right? Think I'd like this one....after the day I've had today!!!!!! Especially with the lovely, naked Alan Bates.....it's a must see.''Le Roi de Coeur'' with the last scene of a naked Allan Bates,holding his caged pigeon aloft,waiting for the Nuns to let him into the Lunatic Asylum where he will be re-united with his friends,the Sane.

The Great Debaters
I teach Public Speaking as an elective in high school and The Great Debaters came out on video the week before we needed to do our own debates. Since most of my students have never even seen a clip of a debate I thought it might help them conceptualize what a debate was and how one needs to support his/her arguments. I was really pleased with how good the movie was overall. The acting was compelling and the story line (based upon a true story) was true. For those who are unfamiliar, it takes place in Texas during the 1930s and tells the tale of a debate team from an all-black college who go on to great and unexpected success. (I won't give any specific spoilers). I also gave it to the teacher of Law classes and he was intrigued and loved it as well.

Never seen in a bad film ? Cher !! She has good taste or a clever agent. I particularily liked ''Moonstruck'' and ''Come back to the Five and dime Jimmy Dean--'' and singing ''All I ever need is you.'' Magic.

Do you mean, "Inglorious Bastards"? I hope you do not offer a term paper on this topic, you would have to offer a refund. You are a spammer, and I do not appreciate it!mickhel wrote:Inglourious Basterds

I believe that is the correct spelling of the title, Suzanne, for what it's worth.Suzanne wrote:Do you mean, "Inglorious Bastards"? I hope you do not offer a term paper on this topic, you would have to offer a refund. You are a spammer, and I do not appreciate it!mickhel wrote:Inglourious Basterds

Re: Seen any good movies recently?
I'm afraid it is indeed the correct spelling. Usually when an American movie appears here in Germany, the title is translated (sometimes well, sometimes one wonders what in the world the translator was thinking about)...with this movie, however, they left the title and its spelling as is. I suppose translating or transliterating misspellings from one language to another just doesn't work.DWill wrote:I believe that is the correct spelling of the title, Suzanne, for what it's worth.Suzanne wrote:Do you mean, "Inglorious Bastards"?

Re: Seen any good movies recently?
Few weeks ago I watched an excellent Japanese movie titled "Departures", directed by Tojiro Takita in 2008. A jobless man is mislead by a job announcement in a newspaper and ends working as mortician. After watching the movie the viewer may start seeing death as a completely natural phenomenon that we shouldn't fear, and may start believing that it has space for art and beauty. When I started to see it and found out that was about death I was going to stop it and move to another movie, but I kept watching it. I am glad I did.

Re: Seen any good movies recently?
I saw Alice in Wonderland about a week ago, and it was quite good. A bit dark for children, but it IS Tim Burton, after all.
Hopefully I'll see Repo Men this weekend. It sounds like a ripoff of Repo! The Genetic Opera, but hopefully it'll be good.

Re: Seen any good movies recently?
Quentin Tarantino meant to spell Inglourious Basterds the way he did. He hasn't elaborated as to why, but if you know anything about him as a director and writer, you know not to question it and just accept it as one of his quirks. It is, despite its strangely spelled name, an amazing film and one of my personal favorites.oblivion wrote:I believe that is the correct spelling of the title, Suzanne, for what it's worth.DWill wrote:Do you mean, "Inglorious Bastards"?
