AFI Fest 2014: Takashi Miike’s Over Your Dead Body
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
Day Four: Takashi Miike’s Over Your Dead Body (2014) I had a ticket to “Song of the Sea,” the new animated film by Tomm Moore (“The Secret of Kells,” 2009) but couldn’t make it. I’m looking forward to seeing it, albeit on a much smaller screen, when it come read more
Sunday Random Roundup, September 15, 2013
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
Not really. It turns out this post is all about Hong Kong cinema. Other interesting tidbits will appear later this week. Well, now it’s been *two* weeks since the last post. Apologies. Since I’ve actually got a day job now, I have to learn how to manage my time. And I was experiencing te read more
The “Austere Wickedness”* of Alain Delon in “Purple Noon”
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
My husband refers to Alain Delon as “farcically good-looking,” and, really, Delon is so good-looking, it’s practically an insult. He was a mere 25 when he made “Plein Soleil” (known in English as “Purple Noon” for no good reason I can find) with director René Clément. read more

Day Five: Suha Arraf’s Villa Touma (2014) In the spirit of recent posts at Krell Laboratories (“Rethinking the American Canon”) and Girls Do Film (“A Realisation…and a New Year Resolution”) on the paucity of work by women directors, and in the less lofty spirit read more
Tuesday’s Sunday Random Roundup, October 1, 2013
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
The zombies made me miss the Roundup last week. But now we have an actual developing story…perhaps even a scandal of sorts. So there’s no actual Roundup here, unless you think of it as a Roundup of one thing. I should make it clear that I have not yet read either Doherty’s or Urwan read more
Army of Shadows (L’armée des ombres, 1969), Part 1: Snoopathon
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
Once again, I seem to have chosen the one of the least typical examples of the genre for a genre-based blogathon. “L’armée des ombres” (“Army of Shadows”), Jean-Pierre Melville’s 1969 film about a small group of French Resistance fighters during World War II, is undeniably a spy film. And read more
SBIFF 2015: “Second Chance” (2014) & “Confession” (2014)
Random Pictures Posted by Amy on Nov 30, -0001
Taiwanese film number two of the festival was the frothy “Second Chance,” directed by Wen-yen Kung. Okay, maybe not frothy exactly, but definitely bubbly. “Second Chance” is (I assume) one of the only action movies about pool. Yes, that kind of pool, where you stand around read more
