Charlie: The Life & Art of Charlie Chaplin
Superb stuff. Written by Richard Schiekel, concerntrated more on the art than the life, so it's a must for film buffs, especially Kamal fans :wink: Oh, and Woody Allen fans too. I am looking at you, P_R. :D

Bogart was an inspiring choice because "he can be tough without a gun".
Yeah many like that. Quite enjoyable.Quote:
Eddie Mars: Convenient, the door being open when you didn't have a key, eh?
Philip Marlowe: Yeah, wasn't it. By the way, how'd you happen to have one?
Eddie Mars: Is that any of your business?
Philip Marlowe: I could make it my business.
Eddie Mars: I could make your business mine.
Philip Marlowe: Oh, you wouldn't like it. The pay's too small.
Oh paathura vENdiyadhu dhaan.Quote:

The Immigrant, Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times and some shorts on TV which I don't know by name.
Among his talkies I was not that impressed by Great Dictator. Was bored by the few minutes of King in New York which I saw recently.
edhukkum documentary-ai paarthu vaippOm :lol2:
Double Indemnity
Now that's an enjoyable film.
Thrilling without having to give much time handicap.
After 'Big Sleep' I guess I was okay with a relatively straight story, told well.
As far as my personal evaluation goes, Wilder vittadhai pudichuttAr :P
Chandler had headache adapting the novel for screen, pointed out the original author's (Cain) poor writing. That "everything he touches, smells of Billy goat" :lol:Quote:

I am definitely biased when I say this is Wilder's best. Maybe :? Thilak sandaikku vanthuraporaaru.
Rendume heavy on politics (left-leaning). GD had a very poor speech scene at the end, spoils everything. King is blatantly political, though the reality TV thing was a bit prophetic.Quote:

"Exit Through The Gift Shop"
While the movie is one in which I paused and went back just to see the pieces shown...the whole premise being a hoax would help me sleep better at night...
The Banksy art was intriguing: http://www.banksy.co.uk/index.html

Watching The Inside Man Opening Credits. It opens with Universal's Logo with ARR's Chaiyya chaiyya song and after Clive Owen's monologue the music continues with the other credits.
Nice and Good.
:lol: That's Gounds' comment right? Sariya nyabagam illa. Anyway same here.Quote:
