Rosemary's Baby
Writers: Ira Levin (novel), Roman Polanski (screenplay)
Cast: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes and Ruth Gordon
Year: 1968
IMDB
My Rating: 9/10
It's a classic, along with Psycho, The Shining. Of course, these films are all from master directors, and this one is no exception. Quite a good story for Polanski to play around with in the film. The dream/sex sequence is one of the best and the most bizarre scene in all the movies I have seen. No, it's not a dream, it's real!
Smoke
Writer: Paul Auster
Cast: Harvey Keitel, William Hurt and Forest Whitaker
Year: 1995
IMDB
My Rating: 8/10
The plot of this movie, like smoke itself, drifts and swirls ethereally. Characters and subplots are deftly woven into a tapestry of stories and pictures which only slowly emerges to our view. Typical Paul Auster? I don't know...
I love the fact that both this movie and Blue In The Face share the same setting and principal cast. Harvey is perfect as Auggie, a tobacco store owner in the Brooklyn neighborhood. I think... I read story to get to know people, not necessarily the story itself. In another words, I like character-driven story. And this is one of those films.
A Single Man
Director: Tom Ford
Writers: Tom Ford, David Scearce, Christopher Isherwood (novel)
Cast: Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode
Year: 2009
IMDB
My Rating: 6/10
Too beautiful, too much cliche in the lines. But I give credit to Colin Firth, his acting is the reason why I finished this movie. By the way, I think this is a perfect film to project on the wall in a museum, or a private party. Cuz, essentially, this film doesn't have much too say. Just full of beautiful people and gay people. If I was a beautiful person, or a gay or into fashion, I would give this film ten out of ten; but I'm none of those people.
