Yep, seen Like Crazy, and yep Felicity Jones was terrific in that<br /><br />John Cleese is the main character in Fawlty Towers, in arguably his signature role. If you like British humor, I think you'd find it amusing.<br /><br />The Place Beyond The Pines soundtrack has only one track by Ennio Morricone. The majority of the score is by Mike Patton.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-23733969483737628092013-08-09T08:11:21.288-07:002013-08-09T08:11:21.288-07:00Hello Chris!

You've seen Like Crazy right? Felicity Jones was terrific in that.<br /><br />I should check out Fawlty Towers! That's the one w/ John Cleese right? I quite like British humor!<br /><br />As for soundtrack, I haven't heard that soundtrack from Ennio Morricone, though generally I love his work, esp. Cinema Paradiso.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-38934018889283141122013-08-09T00:37:53.742-07:002013-08-09T00:37:53.742-07:00@bonjourtristesse: I haven’t seen that Belgian fil...@bonjourtristesse: I haven’t seen that Belgian film The Loft, not surprised that you have though, considering what you usually review (: <br />Yeah, that chess scene in The Wire is remarkable. <br />I remember you offered to do it, ok then, look forward to the guest post!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-75063111523115441842013-08-08T23:15:53.807-07:002013-08-08T23:15:53.807-07:00You're welcome!

I'm the sort who's not really comfortable standing up and telling the world everything about myself, and I doubt I ever will be. That's why you'll never learn any of those things from reading my reviews. That said, I don't have any problem with sharing details when asked.<br /><br />Interesting, I hadn't looked before, but I see that one of Schoenaerts' future projects is him reprising his original role in an American remake of the Belgian film, The Loft (2008), also by the original director. <br /><br />I love that scene when D'Angelo explains how to play Chess to the youngsters. We'll talk more about it after you've seen the rest.<br /><br />Would be happy to write up a guest post on Camera Obscura. If you recall, I did offer to do a music post a few months back, I didn't forget, I just could never come up with the right theme. Now I've found it. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-7376732017941709872013-08-08T14:08:28.500-07:002013-08-08T14:08:28.500-07:00@Quirky BookandFilmBuff: Thank you, it was fun to ...@Quirky BookandFilmBuff: Thank you, it was fun to write!

Good to get to know a bit more about you. I never took you for being the motorcycling, guitar playing, and snowboarding type :) <br />Agree about Matthias Schoenaerts, after Rust & Bone, that must have caught the attention of the film industry, I can see he has a bunch of projects lined up on IMDB, anyway. <br /><br />The Wire, I've only seen season 1, which I loved, addictive and suspenseful. I was late to the show. My favorite scenes are when those youths sit out in the yard and talk. D'Angelo Barksdale is my fav character. Does a good job of blending both relatable and despicable characters within the police department and among the drug dealers. <br /><br />I was thinking of blogging about Camera Obscura’s albums in future. Since you are knowledgeable about the band, maybe I can convince you to do guest post on a specific album by them? Or top 10 tracks from their career? If so, let me know.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-21014644652604081002013-08-08T10:31:22.327-07:002013-08-08T10:31:22.327-07:00Great post!

Favorite actor/actress (who's not a household name yet)?<br /><br />There are several I can think of, but in my opinion Matthias Schoenaerts is the most likely to become a household name soon.<br /><br />2.) Favorite Animal?<br /><br />The Snowy Owl. Beautiful and majestic.<br /><br />3.) Favourite Non-Alcoholic Drink?<br /><br />Coffee. Black. Can't start the day without it.<br /><br />4.) Favorite music?<br /><br />Almost everything, but there are a few I always go back to: Wilco, Camera Obscura, The New Pornographers, Electrelane.<br /><br />5.) Favorite TV-show?<br /><br />Of all time: The Wire<br /><br />Current: Game of Thrones<br /><br />6.) Favorite sport<br /><br />To watch: Ice Hockey, F1<br /><br />To play: Snowboarding, Bowling<br /><br />7.) Movie most people love that I dislike<br /><br />Gone with the Wind.<br /><br />8.) Favorite short film?<br /><br />I'm much more into features, so I don't have/can't remember many favorite shorts. I'll have to agree with Mette and say La Jetée.<br /><br />9.) My Passion.<br /><br />Aside from the obvious. Motorcycling. Guitar playing.<br /><br />10.) Favorite soundtrack from 2013?<br /><br />Haven't seen/heard very many 2013 films.

She was wonderful in that film. <br /><br />Very interesting that you mention "Wasp" as I stumbled upon it the other day and considered giving it a watch. Maybe now I will.
