| 01.29.07 | Music Monday | It was nice to see this projected in a real theater and hooray for Kier-La being so hot and buttered by Jack Wild to want to play this. I think it's a very sweet and charming movie that moves more like a book than a film. It's filled with bunches of things specific to being a kid, and even more specific to being a kid wherever and whenever this was. I could tell it was a bit too sweet and too slow for some, and the audience turnout was... questionable. but what the hell, I liked seeing it again. Probably not a movie I'd get in the habit of seeing every 6 months, but once more didn't kill me. |
| 06.05.06 | Friend's House | Watching Jarrette's 16mm print at his place... this movie is notable for having original score by the Bee Gees, being Alan Parker's first script, and not being available on video or DVD. At first I was really surprised to hear that a Bee Gees movie isn't available but then I watched the movie and wasn't so surprised anymore. Not to mean it's bad, I actually enjoyed it in a casual way, but it's a story about a 10 year old boy who falls in love with a 10 year old girl and they want to get married so the whole class of children skip class to perform a wedding ceremony and all the teachers in the school chase after them... then there's a complete breakdown and the kids assault all the teachers and blow up their car and chase them off while the two kids hop on a railroad trolley and pump themselves off into the sunset. The movie's actually pretty slow and pointless until the last half hour or so, with the last 10 minutes getting outright flabergasting. I can honestly say I did not see that coming. |
