Sounder (1972)
A Great movie, my first time viewing.
I don't know much about movies, don't watch many but this is a great film. The scene where the boy (David) and Sounder meet the schoolteacher Ms Johnson is especially poignant, and of course, he hears her quoting Du Bois. The shaming of Clarence, a schoolboy, after he claims to have saved his sister from drowning, is another great scene.
All in all, its a truly great film.
I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006)
If You Like "Curb......"
If you like "Curb..." you will like the main character, as they are so similar to the "Curb.." formula. I should watch the entire thing, I guess, before making comment. To me it's a one-trick pony film, and the trick is insignificant, if I see it at all. "Chubby-chaser" jokes are typical of this low-rent, low-interest genre. Perhaps this is meant to have all sorts of important underlying comments about weight, rejection etc, but there is nothing subtle or watchable about it to my eyes. Sarah Silverman is OK, for the time I saw her in the movie at least, but nothing special. That rally sum up this film, for me, in that it is Nothing Special, just typical.
