Strider Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Well, that's just great. I've been after the folks at either Cinefamily or the American Cinematheque to get Jeff Krulik's "Led Zeppelin Played Here" to screen in Los Angeles and now it's finally here tonight...but I have another gig scheduled that I cannot break. Goddammit. http://www.ledzeppelinplayedhere.com/ Has anybody seen this yet? ebk? Jeff Krulik is the guy behind the underground cult favourite "Heavy Metal Parking Lot".

It's a lovely little film. I'm not sure how much anyone not from around here would get from it because at heart, it's really a story about the local music scene and some of the characters who live here. But I enjoyed it a lot.

Ady Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 "Wake in Fright" (1971) One of the best films I've seen for years and years. I watched it on youtube first. It impressed me so much, I bought the blu-ray to see it in all of its glory - it was definitely worth it.

Strider Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Saw this real great creepy double-bill the other night...both directed by Robert Wise. YES, the same Robert Wise who directed "West Side Story" and "The Sound of Music"!!! Of course, "The Haunting" is well-known by most of you...based on Shirley Jackson's story "The Haunting of Hill House". The sexual tension between Claire Bloom and Julie Harris is sublime. But "The Body Snatcher" from 1945 was one I had never seen before, and what a treat to see it for the first time on the big screen in a gorgeous print. The last film that Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi did together, it also stars that Master of Snide, Henry Daniell. Paul, we share a love of Karloff and Lugosi, so if you haven't seen "The Body Snatcher" yet, put it immediately on your list! Karloff is malevolently superb in this...a brilliant performance!

paul carruthers Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 ^^ I've seen The Body Snatcher, but it's been a few years & my memories of it aren't that good. I'll be sure to check out a copy from the library sometime in the near future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Pusher (1996) A Danish classic. I first saw it back in the 90s and watched it again last night.

Hell yes, Ady. This is one I noted in my Mads Mikkelsen post. Are you continuing with the entire trilogy? Namea, thanks for the tip about "The Grump". I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it at the upcoming film festivals and foreign releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Great Pic !!! Robert Wise did an incredible job on the Haunting...in my top 5 of all time for sure...Claire Bloom was soooo hot ! The sexual anxiety and apprehension between her and Julie Harris was great in that movie and may have been a first of its time, it was in the horror genre for sure....a true classic.

Strider Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) One of the last movies I saw before going on holiday was this fascinating and informative documentary on one of the gloomier periods of U.S. history: "Last Days in Vietnam". Definitely a must-see for anyone interested in history and, given the beginning of our bombing campaign in Syria, still all-too-relevant to today's world. Here is a list of release dates and cities for the film: Sept 5–18, 2014 New York Sunshine Cinema tickets Sept 5–18, 2014 New York Lincoln Plaza tickets Sept 12–Oct 2, 2014 Washington DC E Street Cinema tickets Sept 19– Oct 2, 2014 Boston Kendall Square tickets Sept 19–25, 2014 Philadelphia Ritz Bourse tickets Sept 19–25, 2014 Los Angeles Nuart tickets Sept 26– Oct 2, 2014 Los Angeles The Landmark tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 San Francisco Opera Plaza tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 Berkeley Shattuck Cinemas tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 San Rafael Rafael Film Center tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 San Jose Camera 3 tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 San Diego Ken Cinema tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 Irvine University 6 Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 Providence Cable Car Cinema tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 Asbury Park The Showroom tickets Sept 26–Oct 2, 2014 Sag Harbor Sag Harbor Cinema Sept 27-28 Pasadena Laemmle Playhouse 7 tickets Sept 27-28 Claremont Laemmle Claremont 5 tickets Oct 3–9, 2014 Chicago Music Box Theatre Oct 3–9, 2014 Denver Esquire Theatre Oct 3–9, 2014 Seattle Varsity Oct 3–9, 2014 Austin Violet Crown Oct 3–9, 2014 Ann Arbor Michigan Theater Oct 3–9, 2014 Minneapolis Uptown Cinema Oct 3–9, 2014 Sonoma Sebastopol Cinemas Oct 3–9, 2014 Sarasota Burns Court Cinema Oct 10–16, 2014 Phoenix Camelview Oct 10–16, 2014 Amherst Amherst Cinema Oct 10–16, 2014 Rhinebeck Upstate Films Oct 10–16, 2014 Pelham Pelham Picture House Oct 15, 2014 Norfolk Naro Cinema Oct 17–19, 2014 Missoula Roxy Cinema Oct 17–23, 2014 Atlanta Midtown Art Oct 17–23, 2014 Houston Sundance Cinemas Oct 17–23, 2014 Dallas Magnolia Oct 17–23, 2014 Fort Wayne Cinema Center Oct 19–22, 2014 Nashville Belcourt Cinema Oct 20, 2014 Bellingham Pickford Film Center Oct 24–30, 2014 Pittsburgh Harris Theater Oct 24–30, 2014 Tulsa Circle Cinema Oct 29, 2014 Torrance South Bay Film Society Nov 7-Nov 13, 2014 Tucson Loft Cinema Dec 5, 7 & 9, 2014 Columbus Gateway Film Center Edited September 25, 2014 by Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Going to the Angelica to see this tonight !!! The entire train scene from the time they meet in the dining car to the sleeper car pas de deux between Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint is one of the classily seductive and dare I say it, EROTIC, scenes in cinema history. Throw in James Mason and Martin Landau as a devilish pair of smooth criminals and you have one of the classic movie thrillers ever. First-rate entertainment from beginning to end.
