Man, I felt pretty much the opposite. It seemed like such a forced effort at being precious to me.

Watched it last night having just read the book. I found it followed the book very well, but I failed to see why Sean Penn earned an Oscar for his performance. All the acting was good, but I found Sean Penn a little cheesy at points and unable to correctly convey the persona of Jimmy in others. I felt like Penn portrayed Jimmy as more of a villain, where as in the book, his actions are explained and somewhat justified. Also, they don't delve much into Jimmy's past, where a lot of his character development comes from. Overall it was a good film, I would recommend reading the book to compare.

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.

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.

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.
