I’m going to get one of these Bluebird cards as an experiment … it looks like the lowest-fee prepaid debit card out there.

Movies Watched -- The Third Man (1949)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

104 minute running time … zither music fairly maddening plus all the cockeyed angle camera shots, but this is a legitimate classic, a green-go, telling a story of post-war corruption in rubble-strewn Vienna, Orson Welles plays a good bad guy (like he did in The Stranger) … the final scene is perfect and apparently Carol Reed had to fight David Happy-Ending Selznick to get it made right.

Pity for dots that stop moving forever, old man?

Movies Watched -- The Matrix (1999)

136 minute running time so 30 minutes too long … cutey Keanu when he was young … turns into a John Woo style shoot ‘em up at the end … it’s not bad, it’s OK, everyone who likes action movies and sci-fi should probably see it. I’m sure many consider it a modern classic.

Spread ‘em

Movies Watched -- Blue (1993)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

In French. 93 minute running time … looked sort of promising in the beginning and Juliette Binoche is stunningly beautiful, but I got bored of it pretty fast and went to fast forward and can’t imagine watching the whole thing at normal speed. Another “Greatest Film of All Time” you can miss.

Do you have a cigarette? [Of course, it’s a French movie.]

Movies Watched -- The Watermelon Woman (1996)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

90 minute running time … amateur movie made by black lesbian with a shaved head … the story of Fae Richards looked interesting, but there wasn’t enough of it and I quickly quit watching this one. Clearly this is on The BFI Greatest Films of All Time list because it ticks the boxes of being a movie made by a black woman and a lesbian (a two for one deal!), but it doesn’t deserve to be on any list. It’s terrible how politics have invaded these lists… this is why it’s so important that I produce my own Greatest Films of All Time list that are truly great.

Movies Watched -- Morvern Callar (2001)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

97 minute running time … a Lynne Ramsay movie desperately in need of subtitles … I didn’t understand a word so I had to fast forward through all of it… this was on the BFI list so I saw it … the lead actress Samantha Morton reminds me of Emily Watson (Breaking the Waves) … kind of a strange story, I don’t know what the audience is supposed to make of it? I’ve seen Ratcatcher (depressing), and I still think You Were Never Really Here is Ramsay’s best movie ever.

Morvern Callar has no inner world that's penetrable, intelligible or even credible … She leaves us totally baffled about her motives, emotions and mental state.” — Alexander Walker .. it’s true, you do wonder about her…

“…rare is the movie that convincingly presents the interior life of a cracked mind.” — Michael Agger
