Movies Watched -- Désiré (1937)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In French. 92 minute running time. Another David Lehman reco… late 30s French comedy, servant class and ruling class, you know, upstairs downstairs … all about sex because this is a French movie and the French are sex-obsessed … this was mildly funny but don’t go out of your way to see it.

Do I look like a prostitute?

Movies Watched -- Hopscotch (1980)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

106 minute running time … this was recommended by an old lady named Sunny and I wasn’t thrilled with it, though I do like Walter Matthau and his face … had a 1970s vibe and I was surprised that there were quite a few F-bombs dropped… you can give it a miss.

Antiques in trade

Movies Watched -- Clockers (1995)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

129 minute running time so 40 minutes too long … a Spike Lee movie about life in the projects, drug dealing, violence, crime, desperation, the pathology of Black life … it’s depressing. Non-stop swearing, every other word is the F-bomb, it’s tiring. Harvey Keitel is good as a tough cop. Not fun to watch, esp. the opening sequence which was filled with graphic, crime scene photographs. You can give this a miss.

Yo, shit is mad rough when you livin' in the city

Movies Watched -- Bay of Angels (1963)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In French. 79 minute running time. A story about degenerate gamblers… it wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t very good. What could be worse than playing roulette on the French Riviera, just depressing… Jeanne Moreau has a beautiful mouth but otherwise looked oldz… you can give this one a miss.

Gambled away her little boy…

Movies Watched -- The Catcher Was a Spy (2018)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

94 minute running time … the story of Morris Berg, who was a pro baseball player who became a WWII spy … Jewish (non-practicing), handsome, homosexual? (bisexual?), brilliant and not just at throwing a ball from home plate to second base … it wasn’t terrible but I guess in the end the story was sort of underwhelming though they did bring in fog machines and wet down all those city streets … lots of smoking and fedoras … Paul Rudd can learn long strings of foreign language dialogue apparently. This had a lot of A-list actors and must have had a pretty sizable budget… I bet they lost money on it. Rex called it “a juicy true story told blandly .... [with] Sluggish, follow-the-dots direction.”

Movies Watched -- Bob Le Flambeur (1956)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In French. 102 minute running time. Black and white. Heist movie. I wasn’t super thrilled, but it was interesting to see that the chemin de fer scene probably inspired the casino scene in the James Bond movie, Dr. No. There’s also a safe cracking scene using a stethoscope, which made me laugh. High Rolling Bob was a Silver Fox, a tough guy with a soft spot, yada yada … I like the loose morals in these French movies, maybe why they were shocking or popular in 1956 America, assuming you could see it.

No kiddie slaps in French cinema

Movies Watched -- Ripley's Game (2003)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

110 minute running time so at least 20 minutes too long … I wasn’t in the mood for this, and I don’t think it would have been very good even if I had been … pointless violence … Malkovich once again as psychopathic killer … Ray Winstone plays Ray Winstone … I was attracted to both of the lead actresses (Lena Headey and Chiara Caselli), but overall I wasn’t thrilled, you can give this one a miss.
