I just love BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
It still works. Sven mentioned Young Frankenstein a few times , though I think Bride is very funny on it's own. Young F was an amusing spoof, but I only saw it once, I saw the original dozens of times and still love it.

there is a movie where someone asks what you do for a living. the person answers"well I check a long list of numbers that someone checked before me and then they are checked again" or something similar to that. I just can't seem to think what movie its from.
The reason I'm thinking of it is the way things are right now, and my day to day thoughts of doing the same thing over and over again.
That's from The Bridge On The River Kwai, Geoffrey Horne and Andre Morell.

7) In the scene where The Captain finds out Ensign Pulver was on the ship for fourteen months but never met him, James Cagney said that he found the scene so funny he had to keep rehearsing with Jack Lemmon so he could get through it without laughing.

Everything Waits To Be Noticed Art Garfunkel -Oct 2002
Garfunkel's first in the 21st century. It is significant because he collaborates with two other singers Maia Sharpe and Buddy Mondlock. also because this is the first time he has written songs (co written with Sharpe and Mondlock), As for the album, it nicely played and beautifully sung, though not very memorable. "The Thread" is one of the songs co written by Garfunkel, some parts talk about New York streets and the Waldorf-Astoria, I would assume those were contributed by him. "The Kid" is an interesting tale of a kid dreaming about running away with a circus., The most memorable song for me was "Perfect Moment" a dreamy ballad of love at first sight.

I'd like to find a disc of the TV movie remake of FROM HERE TO ETERNITY with WILLIAM DEVANE as Warden, NATALIE WOOD as Karen Holmes, STEVE RAILSBACK as Prewitt, KIM BASINGER as Lorene and PETER BOYLE as Fatso Judson. JOE PANTOLIANO's Maggio wasn't up to Sinatra's, but very good anyway.

I saw that when first broadcast, I thought it was pretty good. The only problem I had was Railsback, I could not get the image out of my head of the crazed Charles Manson he had played in Helter Skelter.

From Here To Eternity (1953) TCM on Demand 10/10
The troubled personal lives of a few soldiers stationed in Pearl Harbor just before the 1941 attack.
One of my top ten films of all time. I haven't seen it in awhile since TCM broadcasts it quite often and I wanted to wait till I was in the mood. I still love it, though I constantly hear everyone talking about the Burt Lancaster/Deborah Kerr beach scene and that this is the one Frank Sinatra won his Oscar. I always felt those were subplots, the main story is Prewitt (Montgomery Clift) being bullied by his superiors into boxing on the company team. I thought those scenes had the most effect, and one of my favorites was when Prewitt finally fights back against one brutal sergeant. Ernest Borgnine also makes a great impression as a hateful, grinning bad guy.

You're The One Paul Simon-Oct 2000
A good album, Simon's first in 3 years and his first in the 21st century. "Darling Lorraine" is an interesting story about the life of a marriage, from first love then breakup and death. My favorite track is "Old" which is a tribute to Buddy Holly, he is mentioned in the lyrics and the arrangement is done in his style. "Pigs, Sheep and Wolves" is interesting for being most sympathetic to the wolves, usually depicted just as ravenous predators. It ends on a tranquil note with "Quiet" about trying to find peace at last.

Anybody watch last night? I was out fishing.
I caught the ending of it, but I have seen this a few times. It did not seem very "noir" to me but I think it is a great suspense film. The only time Robert Wagner played a psychopath and he does very well. He is still the well groomed character he had played before but this time has danger behind that mask.
This was based on an Ira (Rosemary's Baby) Levin novel and it is worth reading. The great thing about the novel is we follow the villain in the beginning and we are never sure who he is by the end since he is never referred to by name at the beginning. In the movie, of course we can see who he is from the start.

I am not a ballet fan but I saw The Red Shoes last night for the first time and thought it was very good 7/10. Surprisingly my favorite sequence was the Red Shoes ballet, it was a great combination of color. dance and some dazzling direction. I thought the framing story of Moira Shearer and the two men dragged a bit but the powerful ending makes up for it.
Black Swan (2010) is my favorite film about the ballet, it really captures how difficult and how physically brutal it can be.
There was a film of Romeo And Juliet (1966) which was a filmed record of the Royal Ballet performance. I never saw it but it is an example of an actual ballet on film.
