Just saw The Lovers (1958). I just KNOW that DJ couldn't get enough of beautiful Jeanne Moreau in a beautiful sleeveless black dress lifting her beautiful arms to revealing a very unbeautiful patch of armpit hair
x-men: day of the future past - 5.5/10This is officially my favorite superhero film that goes by the book (that is to say outside the dark knight, watchmen and unbreakable). It's also every well shot for a blockbuster and the script is far from lazy. Still, bad over explaining dialogues and some ridiculous stakes all over the place. The modern days scenes are here to remind you how much superhero films usually suck. A few very good scenes though, such as the full bullet time scene (that convinced me to see the movie).
You went to NO and that's the best thing you came up with?
No other scene approached the excellence of that one though, eh? By "modern day scenes" I take it you mean those set in the 70s?
Yeah, that was the best scene by far.No by modern days I mean those when they're old and their castle is under attack.
Killers Kiss (1955) 10/10
Uh, then wouldn't those be called . . . Days of the Future (or "future days," or simply, "the future")?
Can you give more of your opinion on this one?
Killer's Kiss (1955) director Stanley Kubric, with Frank Silvera as sleazy dime-a-dance hall owner Vincent Rapallo, Jamie Smith as boxer Davey Gordon, Irene Kane as ballroom taxi dancer Gloria Price and Jerry Jarrett as Albert (the fight manager). Could very well be the quintessential New York Noir, from the opening scenes of the old Pennsylvania Station, the decadence of Times Square to the industrial alleys and rooftops of lower Manhattan, it speaks volumes of what can be accomplished in a short film on a shoe string using real locations, and of the talent of Kubric as a director, writter, cinematographer, and editor. <spoilers>The story is basically, a prize fighter falls for the taxi dancer he peeps on from across the air shaft in his apartment house, juxtaposed cuts of him fighting a loosing bout in the ring and her fighting off the advances of her horny boss establish the dynamics of the story. He comes to her rescue after Rapallo accosts Gloria in her apartment, and they hit it off. Exchanging hard luck stories they decide to take a vacation from the city and to travel West to Seattle to a horse farm that Davey's uncle owns. Davey needs his money from his last fight and Gloria needs her paycheck. They arrange with Davey's manager to meet at the ballroom. All goes hay-wire and the events that propel the story to a memorable conclusion are started in motion.Definitely on the A-list with another 10/10.
