To quickly sum up The Pledge, it is a movie about Jack Nicholson going crazy. It was interesting in parts, but not enough to keep me captivated. I kept waiting for it... More

Closely Watched Trains (1966)
Agrees With....
Posted on 9/5/08 at 11:38 AM Closely Watched Trains was kind of a shock to watch. I would never have expected a coming-of-age sex comedy from 1966 czechoslovakian film. Once I figured out what this movie was, though, I couldn't help but somewhat appreciate how ahead of its time it was. In general, films about a young adults sexual escapades aren't really my thing, but this wasn't that bad (although his 'adventures' were still a little ho-hum to me). I saw a lot of similarities in style to Wes Anderson, and I have to assume this was an influence on his work. The framing of the shots, the subtle humor, and the somewhat mundane characters were all features I enjoyed. Overall, not a bad watch. |

I've been wanting to see this for quite a while... too bad it only grabbed a 7 to you, but maybe my comic leanings will kick it up a couple points for me, plus I'm even more interested now with your Wes Anderson comment.

It almost landed an 8 from me, but I kind of got sick of the focus on a certain 'health' problem he was having. At first it was funny, then it just got old (You'll know what I mean if you see it.)

Well, I was wrong, I grabbed this a couple days ago and I ended up pretty much sharing your reaction exactly.
I've also finally got Real Girls at home, so I'll be watching that soon.
