"In order to regain custody of her daughter, whom she left in the care of her fortune-telling aunt, Mona must tell a social worker her story. Rendered with dazzling tracking shots, striking CGI effects and a pulsing soundtrack, Hungarian director Szabolcs Hajdu's risk-taking fantasia has style to spare.

Hi Laura, I`ve had Paradise Now sitting here on my shelves forever now, along with a multitude of other titles I have yet to view? Perhaps I should get on this
movie pronto? Always undecided as to what to watch lately? So thanks for the heads up !! Cheers !! Bruce

:)Winter's Bone is pretty good, butI have mix feelings about it; maybe for being a type of movie I'm not used to watch.

Paradise Now is a very good movie! I think I forgot to rate it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hi Laura, ooh do not be embarrassed. Be happy like I am !! It`s not every day that we can bring somebody back from the dead so I feel blessed !! We`ve lost too many great talents this year. Tony Curtis for one, but I was especially saddened with the passing of Patricia Neal. She was so much more than a Hollywood success story, but a champion human being having bravely battled back from a series of strokes in the 1960s. You may remember Patty in "The Fountainhead" with Gary Cooper based on Ayn Rand`s novel or as Olivia Walton in the only Christmas movie that ever mattered to me..."The Homecoming". Long live Elwy Yost !! Ooh, and "Dead of Night"....big bucks on Amazon.ca. Send me your snail mail address at bwelton@sympatico.ca and I will take care of you. Superb film !! My favorite ever !! Cheers !! Bruce

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hello Laura, I have some very good news that should make you very happy. Elwy Yost is in fact alive and well and happily retired and living in Vancouver, B.C. His wife stated on Wiki that he did have some serious surgery in 2005. It will be a sad day in Canadian broadcasting history when Elwy does pass away but not quite yet. Elwy is as Canadian as the Beaver or Maple Syrup...or Rush !! Yes, he is as warm and knowledgeable a man as one will find and his passion for film is genuine. Halloween night for me was not so much about going trick or treating than it was about his annual airing of my all time favorite film to this day, Ealing Studio`s "Dead of Night" {1945}. When Elwy wrote me back when I was 12, he signed his letter, "Warmest Regards Elwy Yost". I sure was in seventh heaven !!!It was like getting a greeting card from Superman !! My peers thought I was cuckoo back then for actually enjoying old black and white films from an age long past. I took quite a bit of ribbin`. Little did they know the extent of my passion? Now I am creating quizzes based on this material and the ones who were listening are getting the good scores !! By the way, Elwy Yost`s son has his foot in the film industry and was the screenwriter on the movie "Speed". Okay. It`s no Citizen Kane but Dad must be proud still !! Must run my new friend. Say...I`m an Ontario citizen too. Fergus, just north of Guelph !! Cheers !! Bruce

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

By the way, I really enjoy looking at the lists that you have created here and I have only scratched the surface. I think you have a wonderful profile page. "Heavenly Creatures"...now there is a flick I`ve always enjoyed. Made the transition from VHS to full screen DVD to widescreen DVD here in my library. We sure have a lot of similar tastes. I am so glad to have made your acquaintance !!

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hi Laura-thanks for the kind words of encouragement !! Yes, I must create quizzes that reflect my own passions and interests first. That`s the only way it would seem? If they attract an audience, wonderful !! If not, well I got my ya-ya`s out. It must be that early RUSH/Ayn Rand influence emerging?

"Though I know they`ve always told you
Selfishness was wrong
Yet it was for me not you
That I came to write this song..." {Anthem-Fly By Night}

My Dad used to tell me bedtime stories about his youth and the 25 cent all day entertainment on a Saturday in the movie theater. Serials went hand in hand with the comic book heroes of my youth. One of my heroes was Elwy Yost. You must remember him from TV Ontario? When I wrote to him requesting he air "The Adventures of Captain Marvel" {1941}, he actually wrote back to me and said, "Your knowledge of old serials is impressive". This 12 year old boy was floored !!

Thanks for the link Laura. I shall explore. Cheers !! Bruce

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hi Laura...well a Canadian Film quiz is planned, but it may be on the back burner for a bit? I`m a tad bit discouraged with a lack of interest in my Canadian Talent quizzes. Great ratings both, but very few takers.
Always happens, quizzes I create, the ones I am really passionate about, riding a crest of a wave, they often fail to attract a large audience. But great average ratings. Then I do something like "Animals in Film Titles" which is probably the lamest thing I`ve posted and get 160,000 takers? Go figure? There seems to be those people who want easy and another crowd who enjoy a challenge? I prefer the latter and I`ll just keep on churning. No..I`m not really discouraged at all. It`s all in the interest of entertainment. With quiz creation, if we can sneak in a little educational element, that`s a bonus !! Cheers !! Bruce

sabrina irfan _{2 years ago}

Your welcome! I also liked your taste and reviews..so thats why I added you..its nice to meet you!

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hi Laura, Glad you enjoyed the "Where in the World" quiz. Thanks for sharing !!
Prep work for quiz creating is the key element. Have everything mapped and planned out before staging. I collect all my images first and certainly do a lot of old fashioned paperwork. Yes, it is a lot of fun !! It`s neat seeing how well they do...or not??? My two Canadian stars quizzes are doing great ratings-wise but sputtering as far as the numbers of takers. Not to be discouraged though, I shall attempt a Canadian film quiz sometime soon. You will definitely be the first to know. Film books are great !! I actually did my grade six speech on classic serials of the 30s and 40s...you know, chapter plays aka cliffhangers. Happy film research and quizzin` !!
Cheers !! Bruce

I know! The promotions so far are great! The first trailer was just released tonight too - at Yahoo if you're interested. I've only seen the A&E version, but liked it a lot. Are you a fan of the book?

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hi Laura, I had a quick look at your two Canadian Film lists. Some good titles on both. In addition to the excellent "C.R.A.Z.Y.", I loved "One Week" with Joshua Jackson. A wonderful road movie and love song to Canada !! Your lists triggered thoughts about a Canadian film quiz? This will require much research and preparation. I`m thinking about it though? Or perhaps you would like to give this a whirl? Taking quizzes is fun, but creating them...that is where the real fun lies !! I`d be more than happy to share "insider secrets" with you, my new friend !! Cheers !! Bruce

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hi Laura, I too would love to get that Criterion "Ice Storm" DVD. I`ll always remember my first view of this gem of a film. I was absolutely nailed to my couch and could not wait to share it with friends. "The Barbarian Invasions" was excellent too !! I`ve watched it twice. Sort of like "Big Fish" without the fantasy elements. Geez, I get goosebumps just thinking about these flicks. Okay...I have a very high recommendation for you. A film from Quebec called C.R.A.Z.Y. with Michael Cote and a great young cast. Among my favorites. Happy viewing and quizzing !! Cheers !! Bruce

Bruce Welton _{2 years ago}

Hi Laura, thanks for accepting my friend invite. I wanted to say thank you for your excellent ratings on some of my recent quiz creations. Much appreciated and I`m glad you enjoyed them !! I had a look at your profile and some reviews and we share some similar tastes. A mutual love for "Double Indemnity" and Phyllis Dietrichson !!! "The Ice Storm" and "The Barbarian Invasions"...2 very fine films !! Glad to make your acquaintance here on Flixster !! Cheers !! Bruce

Annoying Person I would like to kill - #56

Randy Tippy _{2 years ago}

"In 1980, the film version of The Tin Drum was first cut, and then banned as child pornography by the Ontario Censor Board in Canada.[2] Similarly, on June 25, 1997, following a ruling made by State District Court Judge Richard Freeman, who had reportedly only viewed a single isolated scene of the film, The Tin Drum was banned from Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, citing the state's obscenity laws for portraying underage sexuality. All copies in Oklahoma City were likewise confiscated and at least one person who had rented the film on video tape was threatened with prosecution. Michael Camfield, leader of a local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, filed a lawsuit against the police department on July 4, 1997, alleging that the tape had been illegally confiscated and his rights infringed.

This led to a high-profile series of hearings on the film's merits as a whole versus the controversial scenes, and the role of the judge as censor. The film emerged vindicated and most copies were returned within a few months.[3][4] By 2001, all the cases had been settled and the film is legally available in Oklahoma County. This incident was covered in the documentary film Banned in Oklahoma, which is included in the 2004 Criterion Collection DVD release of The Tin Drum.[5]"

Subtitles - The 'Theatrical' Version

Randy Tippy _{3 years ago}

Subtitles - The unpopular version

Randy Tippy _{3 years ago}

The theatrical release had one set of subtitles, but when the US DVD first came out it had a completely different set, with loose translations, ruining a lot of the subtlety. The company eventually caved in and re-released a different edition with the original subtitles - but only because people were boycotting the DVD. If you get the box, you can tell because on the back, at the bottom it will say "Subtitles: English" or "Subtitles: English [Theatrical Version]"

Randy Tippy _{3 years ago}

Whoo Hoo! Did you know about the subtitle problem?

Ghiuli Reiz _{3 years ago}

I'm glad you did like it. I think the similarities are normal when it comes to the same author, don't you? So, what are you reading now? I wanted to start "My name is red", but I just can't bring myself to do it.

Andhika Buana _{3 years ago}

hoho yeah happy new year (and new decade) too!glad you like my recommendation!

What do you mean with the way Woody Allen portrays women? Most of them are very bright and interesting, with a few exceptions specially in his last movies. Annie Hall was not the most intelligent, but was the most adorable and funny for sure.
Have you already seen "melinda and Melinda"? Two different portraits of the "same" character.

"Crimes and Misdemeanors" is a masterpiece, I love it too. It�s because of this movie I couldn�t like "Match Point" at all.

Randy Tippy _{3 years ago}

Good job on the MCT "soul mate" :)

lol

Andhika Buana _{3 years ago}

yeah,.believe me,25th hour is a good strong drama.and 2046,.just pure art.wonderful...

Lady Aleena _{3 years ago}

I wish I had the talent to make that avatar, but it was one I swiped from a long dead forum I used to be on. I wouldn't suggest using an actor's image. It could be misleading. :)

I have seen so many bad movies, I sometimes wonder why I keep watching them. I am particularly tired of Lifetime, Hallmark, and Family channel movies. Too much moralizing for my taste. I fear that they might be a tad to the Christian right, which means we can't get away from their "message" whatever that is.

If you have any friends that would like to work on uber-movie lists, let them know that I am thinking about it too. I would love to collaborate on more.

Have a nice day!

Lady Aleena _{3 years ago}

Speculative fiction covers a LOT of ground; science fiction, fantasy, horror, punk, disaster, and superhero media. There are crossover genres like romantic fantasies and gothics (horror + romance). It is such a diverse genre, that one doesn't know what to expect next. (see my user page on Wikipedia to get a full view of the genres)

I had only seen a small bit of Shallow Hal and would like to erase it from my memory. I hope that you don't mind if I purposefully exclude it from the list.

What do you think of bromances? I can find them on TV programs more than in films which is sad.

Also, which one are you in your avatar? :)

Lady Aleena _{3 years ago}

Romantic comedies are not my favorite genre, speculative fiction is. Romantic comedies are after speculative fiction, but before parodies, satires, and spoofs.

When you put speculative fiction with romantic comedy that is just a bonus in movies such as
Kate & Leopold and What Women Want. If you know of more in that vein I would like to know about them. What do you think of the movie Vibes? Romantic comedy or not?

My first foray in the romantic comedy world was with Meg Ryan, then Sandra Bullock, then surprisingly Janeane Garofalo, then Cameron Diaz and Ren�e Zellweger. The only men I know who are romantic comedy staples are Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.

I hope that you don't mind if I argue what is and what is not a romantic comedy. Some people list any romantic story as a romantic comedy, when sometimes the story is a romantic drama. Then there are the romantic tragedies. ACK!

I am sorry that I just went on and on there. I tend to do that on many occasions. It is just wonderful to have someone who shares my appreciation of this genre.

By the way, can you tell that I like linking things? :)

Have a wonderful day!

Lady Aleena _{3 years ago}

Thank you for your suggestions on my list of romantic comedies. I have added the two movies you suggested and the other My Man Godfrey. If you have any more suggestions, please just keep adding them

Would you be adverse to a friend request?

Have a very nice day!
