I watched the Ealing version of 'The Ladykillers' yesterday.

Marvelous movie and Katie Johnson (Mrs. Wilberforce) just charms my socks off.

i just finished doing a 5-disc set of Guinness's early comedies.. if you can.. check them
out.. they're all fantastic..

the ladykillers
the man in the white suit
kind hearts and coronets
the lavender hill mob
the captain's paradise

all great movies

I know this isnt everyone's cup of tea, but has anyone seen Religulous? It looked quite good when I saw Bill Maher interviewed on the Daily Show so I rented it the other night and am yet to watch it.

Next on my list :

Rachel Getting Married : Obligatory semi girly movie that I have to watch every once in awhile.

Burn After Reading : I've got a feeling this is going to be a stinker.

Max Payne : Yeah, this ones gonna suck not sure why I'm even subjecting myself to it.

Appaloosa : I'm holding out hopes that this will be the best of the bunch.

I laughed... but I also thought Bill Maher was kind of a jerk to a lot of the people he interviewed. Then again, if you're watching a movie called "Religulous", you probably shouldn't expect a fair, open debate about such things (and I don't mean that as a knock on Maher, either; it's pretty obvious that it's going to satire religion going in. since it's his film, he can be as big of a jerk as he wants if he thinks it'll sell and make people laugh)

don't watch it then with that attitude.. i thought "burn after reading" was a little slice of genius..

Ok cool, so it is what I thought it was. Im still interested as I think its funny when people are asked why they feel so passionately about things and then get angry when they dont have an answer of why they believe or feel the way they do. But thats just me.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. It was really funny.

I've just heard bad reviews about it (which I don't pay much attention to). I pretty much go into most movies w/ no expectations.

I saw "Milk" over the weekend. It's a fantastic movie. And yes, Sean Penn does a great job, but he's not the only reason to see it by any means. Hell, I thought James Brolin did a better job than Penn.

I also watched a four hour documentary about the Nazi occupation of France- "The Sorrow and the Pity". If you're a history buff, especially a WWII history buff, I'd highly recommend seeing this thing.

IMO, it is prob. the best movie I have seen in quite some time.
