Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 22, 2014
This post is my hopelessly late contribution to the excellent British Empire in Film Blogathon (thank you, crippling four-day migraine). Go check out some of the other fine entries! When you’re done reading this one, of course. George More O’Ferrall’s The Heart of the Matter is an read more
AFI Fest 2014: November 11
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 19, 2014
Day Four: Takashi Miike’s Over Your Dead Body (2014) I had a ticket to Song of the Sea, the new animated film by Tomm Moore (The Secret of Kells, 2009) but couldn’t make it. I’m looking forward to seeing it, albeit on a much smaller screen, when it comes out on DVD. I don’t read more
AFI Fest 2014: November 10
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 13, 2014
So this is the movie I took my Mom to. Mind you, that wasn’t the original plan. We planned to see Mr. Turner, Mike Leigh’s new film about the painter J. M. W. Turner. That was before we realized the film was 149 minutes, and we agreed we weren’t ready to commit to almost 3 hours read more

Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 11, 2014
This is my contribution to the Fairy Tale Blogathon hosted by the always-fascinating Movies Silently. Check out more of the posts there! Let me start this post about Secret Beyond the Door by blaming the enchanting Angela Carter. Carter (1940 – 1992) wrote some of my favorite books, including The read more
AFI Fest 2014: November 9
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 11, 2014
My two Sunday movies at the Fest were Run, written and directed by Philippe Lacôte, and then A Hard Day, written and directed by Kim Seong-hun, both from this year. I was excited to see Run not only because it sounded great, but because it’s a movie from Côte d’Ivoire and there just aren’t read more

Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 9, 2014
I’m not sure why every screening at the AFI’s annual Fest isn’t packed, regardless of the day or time. It’s FREE. F.R.E.E. I have a ticket to see Sophia freakin’ Loren honored at a screening of Marriage Italian Style (1964, Vittorio de Sica). Technically, it’s a read more
Ministry of Fear (1944)
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Oct 22, 2014
After the first couple of paragraphs, this post is pretty much nothing but spoilers. Ye’ve been warned. During the 30s and early 40s, Austrian-exile Fritz Lang wanted to make not just anti-fascist pictures, but anti-Nazi pictures. In the American studios where Lang began making movies in 1936, this read more

1984: Wheels on Meals (Kuai can che)
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Aug 31, 2014
This post is part of Forgotten Films’ 1984 Blogathon. So much 1984. So little time. The year 1984 was not awesome in a lot of ways. But it was a great year for films – check out the other 1984 Blogathon entries – and it was a big deal specifically for Hong Kong: The Sino-British Jo read more

Peeping Tom (1960) – The British Invasion Blogathon
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Aug 3, 2014
I first saw this peculiar film about ten years ago, sometime when I was still in grad school. I can’t remember why; I must have stumbled across it at the very fine Four Star Video Heaven, which is—somewhat miraculously—still in business. Neither am I sure why I liked it so much so immediately. read more

Go see “Snowpiercer” … if you can
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Jul 21, 2014
Go. Now. I had the good fortune to be in Los Angeles when Bong Joon-ho’s new film, “Snowpiercer,” opened there mid-July. So, I dragged my mom to see it at the only place it was playing on the West Side, a somewhat run-down multiplex on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade. L read more

Playtime (1967)
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Jul 14, 2014
originally intended as part of the 1967 in Film Blogathon hosted by The Rosebud Cinema and Silver Screenings (and then I got horribly sick—children are Petri dishes of contagion —so it’s only, uh, three weeks late) Anyway, check out the plethora of great posts from the Blogathon! read more
