Move Trailer of the Day: Stolen Kisses by Francois Truffaut
The Antoine Doinel series continues with my second-least favorite in the series. This film is beloved by many, but in my opinion, is upstaged by its successor, Bed and Board.

Movie Trailer of the Day: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me by David Lynch

I saw this movie in the theatre when I was 17 years old — my mother dropped me off and then picked me back up. It was an amazing revelation to me — it’s not David Lynch’s best film, but it’s definitely interesting and serves an intriguing beginning and finale to Twin Peaks. Tweet This [...]
Movie Trailer of the Day: Three Kings by David O. Russell
about 7 months ago - No comments
Three Kings was a great comedy and action film, while serving as a commentary on Bush I policy in Iraq and the unintended consequences of it. You wouldn’t have a movie so critical of the U.S. government these days (unless it was produced by Obama-hating teabaggers) and certainly one that presents the troops in a [...]
Movie Trailer of the Day: Lost Highway by David Lynch

I know Mulholland Drive has its fans, but Lost Highway is — in my opinion — the last great David Lynch film. Mulholland Drive is okay, but Inland Empire is a complete and utter mess. The trailer holds up surprisingly well — many trailers from the 1990′s do not. Tweet This Post
Movie Trailer of the Day: Love on the Run by Francois Truffaut

Ah, Francois Truffaut. Some of your films were great, but your last films were absolutely terrible. Love on the Run, despite being the final installment of the classic Antoine Doinel series, falls into that category. Not only is it the cinematic equivalent of a clip show, featuring scenes from the other films in the series, [...]

The third film in the Antoine Doinel series is also my favorite, dealing with Antoine’s marriage and fatherhood (and infidelities). I kind of wish the series had ended here, but no — there’s one more left. And it’s terrible. One of my favorite running gags in this film, though, is a friend of Antoine’s — [...]
Movie Trailer of the Day: Antoine and Colette by Francois Truffaut

Okay, this is a bit of a cheat — this is the ending montage of the film (but it doesn’t give anything away). Antoine and Colette was the short form sequel to the 400 Blows, featuring a teenaged Antoine Doinel, so doesn’t have a trailer. The next proper film in the series is Stolen Kisses. [...]
Movie Trailer of the Day: The 400 Blows by Francois Truffaut
about 7 months ago - No comments
As I continue my journey through the French New Wave, I offer up one of the most important films in the movement (and perhaps one of the top ten most influential films of all time), Francois Truffaut’s “The 400 Blows.” Note that Jean-Pierre Leaud, who plays Paul in Masculin-Feminin, plays Antoine in the film. Obviously, [...]
Movie Trailer of the Day: The Sweet Hereafter by Atom Egoyan

“One man must find the truth …” Despite the lameness of the trailer, which has 1990′s pseudo art film cheese written all over it, this was a strongly emotional film based on an even better book by Russell Banks about the devastation a school bus crash causes a small Canadian town. Ian Holm has a [...]
Movie Trailer of the Day: Picnic at Hanging Rock by Peter Weir

Oh, Peter Weir. You were once a great director, and Picnic at Hanging Rock was your greatest film. Eerie, scary, bizarre — a surrealistic classic. Don’t mind the zombies in the intro — they don’t have anything to do with the film. Tweet This Post
