just watched....

Love On The Run:  The Adventures Of Antoine Doinel:  Five Films By Francois Truffaut:  The Criterion Collection - (1979) - A

Reason for score -- a wonderful ending to a fantastic series.....

just watched...

Les Mistons (The Mischief Makers):  Les Salades de l'amour: The Supplements:  The Adventures Of Antoine Doinel:  Five Films By Francois Truffaut:  The Criterion Collection - (1957) (2003) - A

Reason for score -- a nice way to close up this this set....nice introductory to see where Truffaut got his inspiration from....

watching now...

Disney's Sleeping Beauty:  50th Anniversary:  Two-Disc Platinum Edition - (1959) - A

Reason for score -- you have to love classic Disney (as opposed to most of the new junk they put out....) .... i'm saving my blu-ray copy to watch with my fiancee since it is one of her favorite movies.....it will be interesting to see the difference in image from the DVD to the Blu-Ray of this movie....

as opposed to most of the new junk they put out....

When you say that, does that include Pixar movies, as well? Because Pixar is completely owned by Disney since a couple of years.

nope....Pixar is fantastic, they pretty do no wrong (although I haven't seen Wall-E yet)

Just finished Dragon Ball Z season 6 last night.  That puts me at 194/291 episodes plus 2/2 TV specials and 4/9 movies viewed.  I'm caught up on all that is available for now.  All I can say is that 10 years later since the show ended, this has continued to be a great series.

watched yesterday and today... (just so you don't think I'm a bum or something watching all these movies, my fiancee is in California for the week, so I'm watching all the foreign films I can while she is gone since she doesn't have a huge affinity towards them....)

Also, most of the movies in the Rohmer set are either shorts, or full features that are extremely short....it looks like a lot, but I didn't spend that much time on the set....I'll finish up the rest today....


The Bakery Girl Of Monceau:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1963) - A

Reason for score -- an excellent way to start the set, really pulled me in...

Presentation Or Charlotte And Her Steak:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1960) - B-

Reason for score -- wasn't an amazing short, but it held it's own....ended abruptly though....
 
Nadja In Paris:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1964) - A-

Reason for score --  decent short, very documentary-esque, but good none the less....

Suzanne's Career:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1963) - A-

Reason for score -- didn't like this one too much until the end, but then it really came together...

My Night At Maud's:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1969) - A

Reason for score -- fantastic story, i can see where the critical acclaim comes from...

On Pascal:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1965) - D

Reason for score -- more or less a complete waste of time...

A Modern Coed:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1966) - C

Reason for score -- this short was nice to see, but nothing special.....more a documentary on education that anything else...

La Collectionneuse:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1967) - A

Reason for score -- an utterly fantastic story.....very well done...

The Curve:  Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales:  The Criterion Collection - (1999) - C+

Reason for score -- to me, this doesn't fit Rohmer's style.....if I wasn't viewing it as part of the set, this short would have gotten a higher rating, but combined with the moral tales, this one doesn't do it for me...

DBZ is awesome!  I remember watching it on TV every day 5 years ago. That network were a bunch of A-holes though, they'd show until the end of the Freeza saga atleast 3 times and then start over

I think I saw the Freeza saga completely atleast 2-4 times...they eventually aired the Cell/Perfect Cell saga too, but only like a year later.

[tholly]

watched today....

Claire's Knee: Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: The Criterion Collection - (1970) - A

Reason for score -- another great movie in the Rohmer set...
 
Veronique And Her Dunce: Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: The Criterion Collection - (1958) - A

Reason for score -- a good short, nice extra for the set...

Love In The Afternoon: Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales: The Criterion Collection - (1972) - A

Reason for score -- a great way to finish up the Six Moral Tales set.....i highly recommend this set....

[tholly]

watched tonight....the first criterion i have watched in a while that didnt like....

The Complete Mr. Arkadin A.K.A. Confidential Report:  The Corinth Version - (1955) - B-

The Complete Mr. Arkadin A.K.A. Confidential Report:  Confidential Report Version - European Version - (1955) - B-

The Complete Mr. Arkadin A.K.A. Confidential Report:  Comprehensive Version - (2003) - B-

Reason for score -- i liked the concept, but it could have been so much more, but i guess the history of the movie, if you look it up, explains the lack of direction and cohesion....also, the acting was sub-par at best....

[Sirgin]

Yesterday and today:

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - (2004) - B

It's a HP movie.

Babel - (2006) - A+

Excellent movie.

[tholly]

watched last evening and today...

Henry V:  Olivier's Shakespeare:  The Criterion Collection - (1944) - B-

Reason for score -- decent film, i wasn't blown away by any means, but it was good none the less...

Hamlet:  Olivier's Shakespeare:  The Criterion Collection - (1948) - A

Reason for score -- i didn't know it until i started watching it, but i had seen this one before, way back when in high school....good movie...

Richard III:  Olivier's Shakespeare:  The Criterion Collection - (1955) - B+

Reason for score -- reasonably good movie, but the young kids in it are terrible actors....oh well....

Indy 4 was not bad. Considering the old ones get A+, this one gets a solid B.

The alien stuff just didn't fit in.  This movie seemed like an after-thought (which I guess it was.)  Didn't seem to match up with the rest of the series.
