Someone is bashing Wes Anderson films? Not gonna happen on my watch. Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited, Royal Tennenbaums...all classics.

Plus he uses some great music sometimes. Seu Jorge singing Portuguese covers of David Bowie songs? Genius. David Bowie even said he prefers some of those covers to his own version.

It was good I found the acting pretty dated though. Rebecca Demornay was sexy in it I'm not sure why.

Love this movie.

Just saw William Friedkin's Bug last night. I really think its his best after French Connection and The Exorcist (although I havent seen Sorcerer which I hear is great). It was based on a play and from what I read it follows it pretty faithfully, and you can really tell that it was a play because of a the dialogue (which is great) and the sole location. I dont see why this movie was so panned when it was released, I thought it was very effective

Spielberg's War of the Worlds. It was pretty good, though the book was better.

Yeah, the book doesn't have that annoying kid screaming throughout.

The movie was ok, coulda done with having a different director and main star.

Yeah, the screaming was really annoying. And Tom Cruise was ok in it but I think there are better roles for him. They probably should have gonee with somebody else though.

Intervista (1987) by Federico Fellini.

^Begins with a crew form a Japanese television, coming to interview Fellini, continues with a movie inside a movie inside a TV show. All, with the usual absurdities.

Ginger e Fred (1986)by Federico Fellini.

Plot: Amelia (Giulietta Masina) and Pippo (Marcello Mastroianni) are reunited after several decades to perform their old music-hall act (imitating Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers) on a TV variety show.-IMDB
Extremely hilarious. This whole melodramatic story happening between Fellini's wife and his alter-ego, I found that breathtaking, while attacking mercilessly the stupidity of television. Another great movie.

I'll be watching La Strada next, and for the second time, as I missed young Giulietta Masina, that woman is a joy.

I liked it. I liked it a good bit. It was funny. Some parts dragged but that was alright.
