I'm also intrigued by THOR-- the clips look good, and I think it's big pop mythology landscape is a great place for Kenneth Branagh's larger-than-life tendencies to run amok.<br /><br />I hate to be a nitpicker, but can I mention a correction? THE ROCKETEER was released in 1991, not 1988. Terry O'Quinn will always be my favorite Howard Hughes.Brian Doanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903729233401672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-67831367550467333302011-04-27T01:18:09.308-07:002011-04-27T01:18:09.308-07:00It's not so much that Wayne Wang went away, bu...It's not so much that Wayne Wang went away, but he did do a couple of smaller, truly independent films.<br /><br />By the way, you might want to check out Japanese films that are about, and probably mostly for, teen girls.

I like Von Trier more than you do, but not much more, yet like you found ANTICHRIST really stunning, and if Von Trier wants to follow that up with a movie about a PLANET SMASHING INTO THE EARTH, then yes. Please.<br /><br />TREE OF LIFE is something I don't want to assume anything about. I worry that all the rampant speculation over the past months might dead its impact on me. I don't like that I'm susceptible to that sort of thing, but oh well.<br /><br />And CAPTAIN AMERICA! Go Cap!bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.com
