Promised Land. Gus Van Sant. 2012. ★★☆☆☆☆
Gus! What are you doing!
Amaretto Sour with Prosecco: 😃
CM&C:LXXXII White Material
White Material. Claire Denis. 2009. ★★★★★☆
Basil Prosecco and Limoncello: 😒
CM&C:LXXXI Top Hat
It’s just like The Lido from the Death in Venice movie.
Top Hat. Mark Sandrich. 1935. ★★★★★☆
Champagne Bowler: 😃
CM&C:LXXX Gravity
I laughed out loud at this shot. Like “HA HA HA HA”.
And this isn’t a satire.
When the actors shut up, it’s almost unbearably exiting.
Whenever they talk — dialogue or monologue — I wanted to skip the rest of the scene. The talk only in hackneyed cliches.
Someone should remix this movie without any talking, and removing the shot of the family snapshot hovering above the corpsicle, I’d give it full score.
Gravity. Alfonso Cuarón. 2013. ★★★★☆☆
Mimosa: 😃
CM&C:LXXIX Prêt-à-Porter
Prêt-à-Porter. . . ★★★★☆☆
The “Milo” scenes made me subtract a star. They were loathsome. The movie worked best when there was no plot going on, but it was mostly hugely enjoyable. The Robert Altman scatterbrained movie thing is very attractive.
Champagne Antoine: 😒
