    He's an alcoholic & drug addict, gettin' drunk at every opportunity is what people with those problems do. Since he was out of work while the investigation was underway, he had a lot of free time, and spent that time gettin' drunk and/or high.

    What else could he do?

    Jesse Stone: No Remorse - DVD

    Stopped off at Blockbuster last night after work, rented their copy of Thin Ice, the fifth movie in the Tom Selleck series. It was on par with the others in the series, I think...

    Stopped off at Blockbuster again tonight after after work, returned Thin Ice and rented their copies No Remose and Innocents Lost, the sixth & seventh movies in the series.

    Watchin' No Remorse now, makin' it the 300th "new to me" movie of the year!

    I think in the end he didn't want to drag the flight attendant's name through the mud and let someone who he saw as being heroic not be recognized as such just because he wanted to continue lying about his drinking. He wanted her recognized for helping to save that boy without it being tainted by her being seen as an alcoholic. Then again without his piloting her being able to get the kid strapped in again would have been moot.

    Maybe it's just like he said...he'd reached his limits on lies, and had finally found a reason to sober up (his new girl Nicole). He was very adept at covering his addiction generally...like not getting caught driving while drinking those beers, chugging vodka outside the liquor store and not being seen, etc...if he wanted to continue to lie he could have, he sure did during the first part of the hearing about the crash.

    Anyway...it was a very good movie and if Denzel doesn't at least get a nod for best actor I'll be very disappointed. It was HIS movie all the way and he ran away with it.

    I thought these were being phased out at the brick/mortar level? There isn't one that I know of even in the Nashville area, their site confirms it for me.

    I even noticed over summer that the Blockbuster kiosk had been removed at a local Mapco Gas Station and replaced with Redbox.

    ^

    A lot of stores have closed, but there's still one open on my way to & from work.

    I'm actually kind of bummed...since movin' to Austin over ten years ago, I lived in four apartments (before this most recent return almost a year ago). Out of those four, three of 'em have had the Blockbusters within a few blocks close after I moved out, includin' the first one I started to use.

    I don't do kiosks or redbox, and I don't have Netflix, so its either Blockbuster, Hasting's, if there is one (which Austin/Round Rock doesn't, though there is still one in San Marcos, twenty-five miles south), or buyin' the DVD outright & then sellin' it it to Buy Backs.

    ^^^
    What's your issue with Netflix or Redbox? If you're Blockbuster loyal they do have online service as well. I'd never blind buy a DVD even at discounted initial release prices knowing your likely to sell it back and only get about 20-30% of your money back. Netflix and Redbox make blind viewing affordable without taking a big loss vs the way you're describing unless I'm missing something or Hastings has an incredible buy back plan(we don't have those here).

    I said I wasn't going to see any new films this year, but AFI Fest and a screening at the UCLA Film/TV archive have allowed me to break that promise for free...

    Where the Wild Things Are: It's always going to be hard to turn a short children's book (ten sentences, I think) into a satisfying feature film. Director and co-screenwriter Spike Jones (writing with Dave Eggers) does a reasonable job confronting this obstacle, but there are still times when the lush visual design doesn't have a lot of story material to complement. Apparently the studio didn't market this as a children's film, which was probably a wise move; it's not an inappropriate movie for kids, but it's certainly darker than most.

    Apollo 13: I think this is still Ron Howard's best-directed movie. Aside from some computer-generated effects that don't hold up fifteen years later, it remains a good historical piece that keeps tightening the tension -- even when you know how it will end.

    Silver Linings Playbook: This is getting Oscar attention, but I think that has more to do with the principals (David O. Russel directing; Robert deNiro acting in a good movie!) than with the film itself. Not that it's bad or anything, but for a movie that's ostensibly about the realities of mental illness, it veers into fantasy territory an awful lot. One one hand, Jennifer Lawrence commands the screen; on the other, I never got the sense that her character was a real person.

    Sunset Blvd.: For a film made in 1950, this is as deeply unsettling as ever. The cast is terrific, the script is tight as can be, and the direction never falters. Great to see on the big screen, too.

    Something in the Air: Olivier Assayas' follow-up to Carlos is a more personal film that that epic, but still a movie deeply invested in exploring the universe of European politics in the late 60s and early 70s. Once again, it's a film that could never be made in the US; it never romanticizes it's subject nor turns these people into villains. They're just young people, with all the corresponding flaws and virtues you might find among any group of teenagers (they just happen to be involved in leftist politics). For a cast of mostly first-time performers, the acting is quite exceptional, too.

    I'll use Netflix if I'm at a friend's place that has it, that instant stream is kind of awesome. But I'm not a customer, so I don't really have an issue with 'em.

    But Redbox...I don't like just standin' there at a vendin' machine tryin' to figure out what to watch. So, I've never even tried to use 'em.

    I used that service for awhile, a couple of years ago. Got it at a discount, free trial offer sort of thing when one of their stores in Burleson was shuttin' down.

    Didn't care for it much, except how easily I was able to watch some classic Doctor Who stories.

    I just like goin' into a store, lookin' the selection over and then decidin' what to watch. Some times, I go in knowin' what I want to see, but most of the time, its a matter of findin' something to fit my mood.

    Anyway, finally got around to watchin' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on DVD...bought it for five bucks at Wal-Mart awhile back, popped it in to watch, but haven't finished, since I've paused it to type this response.

    There's only one other movie that surprised me more than Flight did this year, based purely on watching the trailer and coming out of the movie with an entirely different experience. That movie was "The Descendants". Based on the trailer, I went in expecting a comedy and came out thinking I saw one of the most depressing movies ever.

    Well, here we have Flight, which is a movie I've been looking forward to because of Zemickis and because the trailer made it look really good and I like Washington. I thought this was going to be a story about someone who has to deal with the media pressure after being a hero and how does one go about with the "hero-worship" stigma.

    That's not what this movie was about, and I walked out of the theater thinking it was a great movie for an entirely different movie. I really don't want to spoil the plot of the movie because I think the experience is a lot better if you go in having seeing the trailer and thinking only based on what you've seen from there. I'll just say this was a great character study movie and will say:

    If you have issues with drinking and don't believe in Alcoholics Anonymous, watch this film. In fact, I think this film will be shown at AA meetings for years because it was a perfect example of showing how someone is held hostage to the bottle.

    Watched the seventh movie in the Tom Selleck series yesterday. Nothin' spectacular, but still worth watchin'. Makes me want to check out the novels, so I guess that's a good thing.

    Just finished Butch & Sundance on DVD. Picked it up for five bucks at Wal-Mart awhile back, and while I know I've seen bits & pieces (and parodies) of it over the years, I'd never seen the whole thing through. Not too bad a movie, and I can see why folks would have thought it was better back in the day.

    Gotta work the next couple of nights, so no clue what the next new movie will be, though I do have a plan to try & see Skyfall at midnight Thursday...

    Another old film series at the Screening Room, this time Audrey Hepburn-themed. One of her earliest hits (after the breakout Roman Holiday, which I've already seen), this is a late screwball comedy of sorts. The opening scenes with Hepburn's character make her seem almost like a stalker, but it picks up from there, and has the usual Wilder charm. Humphrey Bogart takes a role in a comedy, not exactly the norm for him (though his dramatic roles always had a pretty heavy dose of wry humour, so I don't know that it actually varies his persona much, just the story around him). Unlike a lot of these stories, the script lets Bogart reveal the truth on his own, without some narrative contrivance, which adds power.

    127. Robot & Frank

    A great performance by Langella who plays a former thief suffering from dementia. His son gives him a robot who should take care of the household, but he trains it to become a thief as well.
    While there are no big surprises (since the trailer basically shows the whole film), this was a nice little comedy.

    305. The Château (✩✩) - DVD - Two brothers go to France to inherit a chateau. Stars Paul Rudd. Most of the movie involves him butchering the french language in front of the staff. Rudd is pretty good with his improvisational skills but the movie itself isn't very good. It's so poorly shot that it looks like a high school project that's barely worthy of YouTube rather than a motion picture. The two stars I gave it are mostly for Rudd.

    306. Skyfall (✩✩✩½) - Theatre - Saw it last night. Wasn't blown away, but I enjoyed elements of it. Bardem was a good psychopathic villain and I like what they did with Q and Naomie Harris' bond girl. Some of the locations were also pretty exquisite. More here.

    Never heard of it. It looks good. Reminds me of Bicentennial Man.

    Berberian Sound Studio: There seems to be some discussion over the last act of this film, which enters David Lynch territory. I think it works, but some viewers will undoubtedly view this exercise in surrealism as a betrayal of the first two acts of the movie.

    In my view, this will join the likes of Blow Out and The Conversation as one of the great movies to tackle sound rather than the moving image. It's certainly features a well-designed sound scape, which is not to say that it is a dense one. Frequently, the film draws attention to sound by its absence rather than its presence, which is a welcome counterpoint to the bloated mixes of modern blockbusters.

    Toby Jones delivers another solid, understated performance here, playing a timid sound designer called in to take charge of an Italian horror film in the 1970s (the movie-within-the-movie is fictional, but it borrows from Suspiria heavily enough that at least one other person in the audience noticed). His character slowly loses control, in both a practical sense (he can never seem to get his reimbursement check for his flight to Italy) and a psychological one (his alienation is well-dramatized visually and sonically; he also can't speak Italian, which further isolates him from his co-workers).

    Tarantula: In terms of Jack Arnold's sf output, this film falls in the middle of the pack. It features a couple of good performances (especially Leo G. Carrol, who played small parts in four films for Alfred Hitchcock, but really shines here as an elderly scientist), but the effects mainly consist of ineffective process shots. The movie can't impress in visual style, either (it's set on the Universal backlot and in the Vasquez rocks area, and features a lot of poor day-for-night photography as well as sequences that are underexposed). Only the make-up (on Carrol, who again gets the best material) really impresses.

    Still, in terms of 50s sf cheapies, this one is perfectly fine. It's just not as masterful as, say, Arnold's The Creature from the Black Lagoon or that other giant bug movie, T.H.E.M.!

    The Delta Force: This is essentially two movies that have been glued together with shoddy plotting, poor direction, and (at best) forgettable acting; neither of these movies are good. The first is a ripped-from-the-headlines airline hijacking, led by Robert Forster (sporting a spray tan and mumbled Arabic that are pretty offensive). My favorite scene may be when Forster (who hates the Jews and is, I think, supposed to be a Muslim) decides to wear a golden ring with a Hebrew inscription for...no discernible reason. The first part of this movie wastes no time blaming civilians (and, through a Jimmy Carter era prologue, liberals) not only for getting soldiers killed, but for losing the Vietnam War(!). Others have surely dismantled it's right-wing ideology.

    The second-half is a movie where Chuck Norris gets to save the day (mostly single-handedly, despite having a couple dozen other soldiers with him). Hardly anyone is killed except for the bad guys, and the good soldier who doesn't make it gets a dramatic death scene. The worst part of the movie might be watching Lee Marvin try to play the action hero one last time. He frequently looks physically uncomfortable with the action; although he was only 62, alcoholism had turned his body quite frail -- he looks 70 or older (he died the following year, making this his final film). We're at least granted the dignity of only having to watch him hit on a waitress for a brief scene in the beginning. Still, it's hard watching him (along with several other great old-timers, including Martin Balsam and Shelley Winters) forced into playing second-fiddle to Chuck Norris, a man who has no acting ability to speak of.

    Took my buddy Joe to see SKYFALL last night. We each had a Vesper martini to go with the movie, too.

    I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, especially the parts with Q and M. Bardem was a great villian, and the thing with his face...Jesus!

    I'm all set for more Daniel Craig as Bond in this continuity, too.

    Definately gonna go see this one a couple more times...

    - edit, to add -

    Went to see the documentary The American Scream this afternoon. Its a look at three families in Fairhaven, Mass, and their preperation for Halloween & the haunted houses each of the family within eight blocks of each other. Rather enjoyable, too, if a bit poorly timed to be playin' the week after Halloween.

    Got moved into a new place today, and turns out my new roommates have Netflix!

    Just finished watchin' Does This Need to be Said?, the Craig Ferguson concert. I saw the show live in Oklahoma a couple of years ago. Still funny.

    Watchin' Jamie Kennedy's documentary Heckler now.

    Yeah, the film nearly passed me by too. I just found it by accident, looking at the schedule of a cinema.

    ^ The trailer makes it look pretty good and it has some big names. I wonder why it's not getting a wider release. Gonna read more on that. I also see that the budget was supposedly $2.5 million. That's pretty impressive for what looks like a more expensive film.

    Skyfall was incredible. I highly recommend it. Not just as a great Bond film but on its own merit as an action thriller. A+
