I want to get out of the cinema today and discuss what movies we've been watching at home.
This week I watched "Four Little Girls," "Five Easy Pieces" "Once Upon A Time in the West," and "The Omen."
What have you guys seen at home lately?
A better job awaits

Most recently, "Rear Window" (the Hitchcock version) for about the 10th time in my life. Yes, it's dated, but it still fascinates.
Though not technically a movie, it's what I'm watching now: I'm in the middle of watching "Twin Peaks" on DVD. All 29 episodes plus the pilot.
This week at home I watched "Ratatouille" -- what, no commentary track? You cheap b------s! -- and "Scent of a Woman."
In the latter, it's interesting that the star, Chris O'Donnell, saw his career flame out a few years later. But the guy playing the skeezy rich boy would go on to win an Oscar and become one of the most respected actors of his generation -- a young (and very thin) Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Ah, c'mon, the filters nailed me again! B-a-s-t-a-r-d-s is not a swear word!
Long live PSH! He is outstanding in EVERYTHING he's in.
Chris, did you see the "Punch-Drunk Love" extras and his leap off of the top of his (character's) furniture store onto a mattress on top of a van, then bouncing off onto the concrete? It was supposed to be a commercial for the store. I can go on and on about that.
"Love Liza" was certainly an odd PSH movie, but I agree, he's been great in everything I've seen him in.
And don't forget who brought Love Liza to Indianapolis. That little "oddball", "off-the-wall", "hole-in-the-wall" cinema on the southside!
I thought it was fun to watch PSH in "Twister." Not a heavy message movie, but fun from first to last frame!
I thought I read a while ago that you were closing? Did that even happen? or did you re-open?
I was in there about three years ago for a short film festival... then the after-party was at a hip hop club downtown... talk about an out of place group in there... :-)
Rumors of our death have been flying for years. It ain't easy doing what we do located (what everyone seems to think) on the wrong side of town. People sometimes confuse closing with wanting to move the operation anywhere above Washington St. I've never made it any secret that I want to move. The bags are packed. The brick wall has been finding 4 suitable brick walls. We plug on and do the best we can with what we have. Sometimes that's not good enough for some folks.
it's good enough for me! love live the Key!
I actually "discovered" (how long you guys been there, anyway?) Key Cinemas last month (or maybe the month before...when was Autism: The Musical showing?) and can't wait for the opportunity to return! At first I was a bit fearful..."there's a movie theater in THERE?" Then, I started giggling, thinking of the theater in Stars Hollow (Gilmore Girls fans will know what I'm talking about). It wasn't quite that archaic, but it was most unpretentious and I LOVED it (even wrote about it in a blog on MySpace). My favorite part was when I walked in the door and didn't know where to purchase my ticket. A woman came from behind the snack counter, over to another where I paid my entry...then, I walked over the snack counter...as the same woman walked back behind it to take my popcorn order. It made me smile! I noticed WristCutters is showing...hoping to make my re-visit this weekend!
But, back on topic, regarding movies I've been watching on t.v....anybody else watch Blazing Saddles?
How about some Bruce Brown... Endless Summer..
I watched "The Jerk" last night on one of the HD movie channels... and LMAO!
Keep it going!
Last Tango in Paris, Spartacus, Platoon, The Sting.
And The Jerk is a classic!
Prairie Home Companion (listen to the radio program - might as well check out the movie) Transformers (saw it in the theatre - had to own it) Casino Royale (for about the 3rd time) Spiderman 3 (missed it on the big screen) Home Videos (that I'm converting to digital from analog)
