films on a friday: fire burn and caldron bubble

"by the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes"

the last few months i had time for almost nothing
so, after several days of working from 10 to 10
i decided that i deserved to take at least an hour and half at the end of the day
(or sometimes two hours and then some more)
and watch a movie.


i kind of missed the film friday section
so here's a little summary of the films i watched last week.

the blood on satan's claw, 1971

ivan's childhood, 1962

the phantom carriage, 1921

the tragedy of macbeth, 1971
(dear roman, i love you.
dear william, i love you too.
and you too, lady macbeth)

nostalghia, 1983
(yes, andrei, i love you too.

there's something so hauntingly beautiful about his films
that i really believe he does not make movies,
he makes poetry in motion)



also watched: cronos and harry potter and the sorcerer's stone




have a wonderful weekend!

some films on a friday

gate of hell / black narcissus (and the red shoes) / onibaba / mulholland dr. (and blue velvet) / in the mood for love (and chungking express & 2046)

only lovers left alive / freaks / phenomena (and profondo rosso & suspiria) / cría cuervos / the wind rises

days of heaven / scanners (and videodrome) / the mirror / tess (and repulsion) / viridiana

since there's no film friday today, nor any friday during january,
i thought i'd do a little recap of some of the snobbish films i liked the most this year.
there's only one image per director, but really,
i love all of wong kar-wai, lynch and argento's films alike.
and early cronenberg. and powell & pressburger. and...


and here is the complete list of the films i watched in 2014
including the ones i loved, the ones i didn't like at all,
some guilty pleasures & the always entertaining shameful ones.



hope you all had a wonderful start of the year!

film friday christmas edition: love actually

"oh! fuck wank bugger shitting arse head and hole!"

love actually, 2003.
i confess myself not much of a christmas spirit lover,
however, there are a few movies that you just have to watch at christmas
as a child of the nineties, die hard and home alone (*) are most definitely on that list.
as tim burton's fan, the nightmare before christmas is too.
and for many years my list remain the same

but then came 2003, bill nighy sang, hugh grant danced
and the list expanded.


hope you all had a wonderful time,
full of laughs, family and friends.





ps. we'll be taking a little break in january, will be back with more films watched together in february
ps2. i'm telling you, that's totally rick
(*) dubbed and with tons of commercial breaks, please

may you have a wonderful new year!
