Tuesday Links and Other Stuff #19

What I'm watching tonight...


The only movie that I absolutely have to watch tonight in Machine Gun Preacher, as it is the only thing coming out tomorrow apart from Puss in Boots (which I've already seen, and it didn't actually arrive today so I could see it again). But here are the movies I have to watch as well: The Round-Up, In the Mood for Love (I wanna see it again), Les Miserables (the 1998 version with Liam Neeson), The Duchess, Cloverfield, Chicago, Heartless, The English Patient and Memoirs of a Geisha. What do you suggest for tonight?

Video of the week...


I rewatched Romeo + Juliet last night (and it is still as great as I remembered it to be), and I was quite taken by the soundtrack. One song I love, though, isn't on the actual soundtrack. Radiohead, a.k.a my current obsession, wrote a song specifically to play in the end credits of the film. The song is simply called Exit Music (For a Film), and it is amazing.

A bit of randomness...
The blog passed 300,000 hits yesterday! Does this mean I can stop blogging now?

Haha, jokes. It may not be a big deal to most people, but I like how it has only taken three months to get from 200,000 to 300,000. I love Google Images. And everyone who has clicked on my site, and commented. I appreciate it a lot. I really do not deserve it at all.

Links...
Though I wasn't a huge fan of it, Nikhat offers up a brilliant review of Michael Haneke's The Piano Teacher.

Rachel (from Rachel's Reel Reviews) and Jess (from Insight Into Entertainment) have teamed up to create Reel Insight. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future!

Ruth picks 20 moments of 'cinematic awesomeness' - which is such an awesome idea for a list!!

Leith hits 100 posts and celebrates it with five of his favourite dystopian films. Great list.

Diana highlights Paul Thomas Anderson's brilliant Magnolia, and it seems she enjoyed it just as much as I did.

Speaking of being a fan of Magnolia, Tyler loves that film. But one thing he didn't love? Jack and Jill.

It seems that Mette loved Drive almost as much as me. Which is impossible, since I love it so freaking much.

Nick reviews one of my favourites, City Lights, as part of his 50/50 series.

Inspired Ground just celebrated their second year of business. Go wish Andina and her blog a happy birthday!

And finally, this joke never gets old. I can't wait to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo again.

Final word...
I guess...what should I watch tonight out of those movies I said?

  3. Thank you for the kind mention, Stevee! So nice of you!
    About your movies selection, many of them I haven't see yet. But I loved Chicago a couple of years ago when I first saw it.
    Have a fabulous day!

  5. I'm curious about Machine Gun Preacher. Looking forward to your thoughts.
    Congrats on your 300K hit!

    Off-topic: I can't recognize the movie that's on the top of your best 2011 list. I see that it's arranged alphabetically but still no clue. What's that?

    2. Indeed, thanks! I saw the trailer twice... but it was a while ago. Anyway, I'm interested in this film. Glad to see that Stevee likes it that much.

    3. Yah, it is Another Earth. Really good film!

      I probably won't write a review on Machine Gun Preacher, but it was pretty alright. It was a bit too long, though...and it didn't really have a clear direction. I did enjoy it, however!

  6. Hmm, of the movies you plan to see... Well, considering you have sort of a thing for him, I suggest you watch The English Patient for Mr. Fiennes.

    1. I've seen The English Patient, but I wanted to see it again (to see if I actually like it)...I'll get around to it, one day!

  7. I'd recommend Les Miserables with Neeson, really wonderful movie! The rest kinda depends if you saw them before - I'm not a big fan of English Patient but I think every single Fiennes fan should see this one.

    1. Is it? I'll get it done this weekend! I need to figure out if I'm a fan of The English Patient or not, but man is Fiennes good looking in that one!

  8. Ahhh, I got to this late. I would have suggested Chicago (I love the music in that film. I sing along). I just got home from watching Mr. Gerard Butler in RocknRolla! Danke for the link though, Stevee!!

    1. I saw that one! And RocknRolla is such a cool film!

  9. OK Computer... my 2nd favorite album of all-time. I love that song as well and from that movie you mentioned which I saw this past weekend on TV. I liked it! It's been years since I've seen that film. Who really likes Jack & Jill? I refuse to watch a second of it.

    1. OK Computer is great! And I'm still gonna see Jack & Jill, even though I know how shit it is going to be.

  10. Hey Stevee, thanks for the mention and linkage. I know it's late, but regarding what you should watch, I actually really love 'Cloverfield'. Let me know what you think of it when you've seen it.

  11. A.) Congrats on the milestone number of hits. Quite impressive.

    B.) I've been dying to christen my Blu-ray of Romeo + Juliet (maybe after all my Denzel viewing is done for the next RI episode). Leo was such a huge part of my high school years that I'm actually considering seeing Titanic in 3D just to see it on the big screen again.

    C.) It's far too late to recommend a movie :(

    D.) Thanks for the link love to the new site!

    1. A) Thanks!

      B) I'm seeing Titanic in 3D on Sunday so I can see what it was like to be a part of Leo mania. I came to the party like, 13 years late!

      C) Most of them are still there, unwatched!

      D) You're welcome!

  13. Congratulations Stevee! I just recently passed the 300K mark too. It's really cool to see all my favorite blogs growing and growing.

  14. Great Radiohead selection! My personal favorite from Romeo & Juliet is "Talk Show Host" -- I'm still holding out hope that I will see them perform that live.

    Also, congrats on the 300K! I just found your blog recently, and I am happy to have added it to my reader.

    1. I love that song! I would love to see Radiohead perform live, full stop.

      Thanks for adding me to your reader! I will do the same on your site!

  15. Thanks for the link, as always! I've been so lazy lately, I should start seeing more movies and being more active on blogs!
    Congrats on passing the 300.000 posts mark- a couple of days ago I passed by my 10.000 one and I was so happy :)
