ceesmiles is getting ready to run another 5K race; 5K has become usual run

I just have 2 years ago

Birth of a Nation left?! I can do this…but do I want to do this, over Christmas…hmmm, some samurai movies maybe?

Lack of interest 3 years ago

I find myself not too interested in movies at the point and without a paid Netflix subscription now. =( So this goal will have to wait until I find a way to rent cheap movies again.

Broken Blossoms 3 years ago

I wanted to see something with Lillian Gish, so this movie was the one that I could get. I tried my best to watch it without being horrified, but all of the stereotypes and some of the language…very cringe-y.

This one would be good to contrast with the Sheik, in the different portrayals of hero and heroine and cross-cultural love affairs.

One more to go…

Never mind what I said 3 years ago

My library does have DVD rentals…educational ones for free, others not so free. 2.75 per rental isn’t bad, but I’m reluctant to pony up the money.

I guess I’ll have to wait then.

I just remembered! 3 years ago

My library has free DVD loans. I can’t believe I forgot about that. This way, I don’t have to wait for Netflix or buy the movies myself. I can just run out to the library and pick up a few.

Yay for libraries.

Hmm 3 years ago

I’ll have to research this endeavor and find a list of movies to watch…and of course pair it with what’s available on netflix.

Just caught a couple on Turner Classic Movies. But I’m not sure how to go about finding these movies.

I could just sign up for Netflix. I’ve been meaning to, but I keep putting it off…

It 3 years ago

Clara Bow was very pretty, feisty and charming. I am glad that I got to see one of her movies. I would watch this one as a double feature with “It happened one night”.

After you watch Nosferatu 4 years ago

follow it up with “Shadow of the Vampire” a what-if story of the filming of Nosferatu in which Murnau (John Malkovich) engages a real vampire, Orlok/Shrek (Willem Defoe) to play the part of a vampire in his movie. Funny but also creepy, this is a great movie about film making and the vampirism of art.

Nosferatu (1922) 4 years ago

“Your wife has a beautiful neck…”

Fright Night was one of my favorite movies in junior high, so I’m glad I watched this movie.

The soundtrack included on the version I watched was just obnoxious, so turn it to mute.
