So far Juicy's choice for Best Picture at the Oscars, and this is fair as Juicy usually sees all the best pic noms. So far this IS the best. Have not seen Moonlight or a few others, yet. Juicy is fair on Oscars and will see all, if his opinion changes, will let you know. But so far none of them are meh. Really enjoyed most. LA LA Land, not sure I enjoyed, as much as respected (music is so amazing, as acting, as are the dreams that come true, and don't, like life.)

The Enchanter - Vladimir Nabokov: [link]http://www.amazon.com/Enchanter-Vladimir-Nabokov/dp/0679728864[/link]
First Love - Joyce Carol Oates - [link]http://www.amazon.com/First-Love-Joyce-Carol-Oates/dp/0880014571[/link]
From Quilty - "A dark and sure-to-be controversial little tale of Josie, eleven-years-old, who comes to stay at the home of her great-aunt in upstate New York, where her 25-year-old cousin, Jared, Jr., also resides. A seminary student on temporary leave from school, Jared, Jr. has only the most perverse plans for Josie in between his bible studies. And so one summer afternoon, by the bank of the river at the back of the house, a distinctly sadomasochistic sexual relationship blooms. A darkly erotic, almost gothic tale. With illustrations by Barry Moser."
Quiltys' Favorite Photography:
Jock Sturges - Misty Dawn: Portrait of a Muse: [link]http://www.amazon.com/Misty-Dawn-Portrait-Jock-Sturges/dp/1597110744[/link]
Graham Ovenden - Childhood Streets: [link]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1888425105[/link]
From Quilty - "When Ovenden was a teenager, he spent many weekends roaming the streets of London (mostly the East End) with his Brownie camera photographing children. Thirty-five years after the fact it is obvious that the work was not only brilliant artistically, but it constitutes an important historcal document showing, in pictorial form, life on London's streets before the social effects of "urban renewal" and the proliferation of the automobile. Some of the work is truly astounding and also presents a rarity in the history of photography: the eye of the photographer-youth."
Nancy Buirski - Earth Angels: Migrant Children in America: [link]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0876540736[/link]
From Quilty - "Nancy Buirski portrays the lives of children of migrant farm workers, an almost forgotten part of American society. These are children caught in a life of poverty who nonetheless maintain a spirit that transcends their difficult childhoods. 144 pp. of color photographs, text by the photographer, as well as quotations from farmworkers and their children."

- DirectorThomas FrydetzkiAnnette StefanStarsKai Michael MüllerWilli GerkKaty KarrenbauerMax and Moritz are two brothers living a life of petty crime. After the two boys steal a car, they are sent to a boot camp; stole another car and when they acquire the key to their military school's ordinance depot, things start to change.From brandlbua (Germany) -Highly underrated!!!!
Max und Moritz reloaded is an old story by Wilhelm Busch about two really mean brats that torture their environment and are force the tortured ones to respond. The reloaded film reinterprets the age old story in a present days German setting.
In Germany, when this film was released, the critics were not at all euphoric about it, and as far as I can tell, they were successful in keeping the crowd out of the theatres. Shame on them! This film is a hilarious farce, telling the story of two Hamburg brats, their alcoholic mother, a devoted social worker Paula (also the wet dream of the two boys) who are sent to an Eastern German boot camp. This boot camp is managed by two gay former army guys, and in a way they get to get along with each other. Of course, this takes some time, and lots of adventures are there to entertain you. But there is also the bordello master Hanne, and he gives the two boys a really hard time. Be excited to see the end of the film and what happens to Hanne and Max und Moritz! Max und Moritz reloaded is wonderfully not pc, sparkling with fine ideas, clear cut characters and a stunning rhythm. Action is followed by mind bending landscape shots, and then it goes boom again. Interspersed is the film with occasional cartoon sequences (perfect: the hilarious Paula on ice piece), and there are lots of songs integrated, also in a very nice manner. If you are a fan of justifying delight in entertainment you might even say there are some social dimensions of German life today to be found. But this does not do the film justice. It is an entertainment piece, and I think it does one thing: entertain you at its best (if you like trashy stuff).
The cast is generally good or excellent, you can see that everyone must have liked what they were doing. The most disturbing and mind-shaking appearances are by Ben Becker, who does an unbelievable job at acting as a sugar daddy. This must become a classic.
I can only hope that the DVD is as successful as this film deserves. Unfortunately, the market for trashy comedies in Germany might not be ready for this film yet (still). Everyone who thought that Goddbye Lenin was a little too slow and boring should like this film. Or maybe it simply is the film that Schlingensief simply does not know how to do? Try for yourself, sit back, relax, and be entertained! For friends of directors like Wenzel Storch and Christoph Schlingensief. For friends of films like "Frau Rettich, die Czerny und ich", "Komm süßer Tod", "Muttertag" by Roland Düringer.

I've just watched this with my three children - 12yrs (boy), 10yrs (boy) and 8yrs (girl) and this film was good old fashioned family action adventure. Although definitely aimed at the kid market (I'd say 5 to 13)it was certainly watchable and as a parent it is a pleasure to find a movie that appeals to a broad range of ages whilst still being suitable for the whole family to watch - particularly younger children.
The story revolves around Ricky, a bit of a nerd with a vivid imagination (this can definitely be seen in his daydream sequences) who foils a kidnapping and major art theft while on on-board a flight to Washington for a school trip. Ricky's dad is an airplane mechanic, so Ricky not only knows the structure of the aircraft inside out but is also a top-gun on his computer flight simulator. This comes in handy when the pilot and co-pilot are out cold through a series of misadventures and there is no-one left to fly the plane. I don't want to give away any more of the plot. - DirectorAlfonso CuarónStarsLiesel MatthewsEleanor BronLiam CunninghamSara is sent to a strict boarding school after her father enlists in WWI.

Elite Way School is an exclusive private school with international prestige where the majority of the students are young adults with a high social and economic status. However, the school has financial aid programs for low income students with a high academic level of achievement or high athletic development.
Mía (Anahí) is the daughter of a wealthy owner of a fashion firm; she is popular, extroverted, and conceited. Through the course of the series, she falls in love with Miguel (Alfonso Herrera), a boy from a poor family from Monterrey whose purpose at Elite Way is to discover who killed his father. Completely different from Mía, there is Roberta (Dulce María) daughter of a famous singer who lives in her mothers shadow; which has caused her a low self esteem. Roberta hates rules, conventionalism, and the boy that she falls in love with: Diego (Christopher Uckermann), son of a a corrupt businessman that has never been satisfied with his son. In his fathers terms, Diego's destiny is to be a politician like him. However, his passion is music. These four teenagers along with the rest of their classmates live experiences that would influence their development intellectually as well as morally. They question their family values under the influence of their new teacher, Enrique Madariaga (Patricio Borghetti), a famous writer, who leads the students through the path of righteousness.

Juicy recommends both movies, however the Original is his favorite.
Once you have seen that, watch the re-make. It is also well done, however the acting is not as good. Most of the stars like Patty McCormick (the girl) in the original, had starred in the stage play before it became a movie. This gave them a tremendous feel for the characters that the re-make could not match. What is interesting about the re-make is that the there are many scenes that are shown that were just talked about in the original. - DirectorDaniele LuchettiStarsStefania MontorsiGiampaolo MorelliMartina MerlinoWhen 30-year-old Stefania breaks up with her boyfriend Andrea, little does she realize what the summer has in store for her. She winds up on vacation at the Greek resort 'Isle of Love' with her 15-year-old niece. Unfortunately, her teenage niece has something more than sun and surf on her mind; she decides that this Mediterranean paradise is where she will finally lose her virginity. However, in an ironic twist, the cute guy she has her eye out on turns out to be none other than Andrea, her aunt's ex-boyfriend. This light-hearted "comedy-of-errors" is a valuable lesson in what being a woman means at any age.

Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal compete to see who will be the first to lose her virginity at summer camp. McNichol plays Angel Bright, a tough teen from the wrong side of the tracks who goes braless. O'Neal plays Ferris Whitney, a society girl with an ugly wardrobe, who nevertheless looks great in a bikini. Angel gloms onto a boy from the camp across the lake who is pretty inexperienced himself. Ferris shoots for the camp sports instructor, but fails to corrupt him. (He claims to be oblivious to her charms but vows he'll reconsider in six years). Good supporting cast, including Alexa Kenin, Maggie Blye, May Belten and Marianne Gordon, but the show-stealer is Krista Erickson, the experienced girl who delivers the boner.

A love/hate relationship then develops between the leads, the lass drawn towards the man until her mother gets a bit hot for him, overcomes the resentment concerning her husband's death. The girl copes with the confusion of it all, which is exemplified by the onset of puberty, via fantasy. Dark and dreary, this one might not appeal to everyone, especially if character studies are not your thing. Yet, if you like director Vincent Ward, the often interesting images and landscapes he uses, you'll certainly wish to add this to your list.

The murderer is actually a pediatrician who has ample opportunity to tend to sick kids but is so unhinged that he lives among mannequins and slits the throats of 7-year-old girls to keep them pure. I said it was implausible: He also leaves them naked without molesting them sexually, but keeps their clothing which he launders (say what?) and puts on his mannequins. The cop gets involved with the mother of Perdita Weeks, whom he uses as bait to lure the killer, and is egged on by a psychiatrist played by Heathcote Williams. - DirectorWilliam WylerStarsAudrey HepburnShirley MacLaineJames GarnerA rebellious student at a girls' school accuses two teachers of lesbianism.From Quilty - The Children's Hour

She soon meets Malthe, a kindhearted, child-like, naïve sewer cleaner who literally stumbles on to her. She convinces Malthe that she is a Russian princess whose family is being chased by Bolsheviks, so Malthe lets Emma stay with him in his very modest abode. After being "kidnapped" for a few days, Emma decides to return home. But, just as she is about to return, she overhears a couple of servants talking about how her parents don't seem to be very upset over her dilemma. She then returns to Malthe, and a close bond soon develops between Emma and Malthe. Meanwhile, the police are finally called and begin their investigation.

One night he overhears a radio broadcast in Gestapo headquarters that says the Russians are only twenty kilometers away. He spreads the word and it gives hope to everyone in the ghetto. They ask him for more news and he pretends that he has access to a hidden radio. In his care is a charming 10-year-old orphan, Lina (Manuela Simon), a skinny pigtailed waif in a hand-me-down dress that's too small.

Jacob the Liar - [link]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120716/[/link] - DirectorPeter SchamoniStarsNastassja KinskiHerbert GrönemeyerRolf HoppeChronicles the illustrious 19th-century love affair between composer Robert Schumann and pianist Clara Wieck.H" "From petershelleyau (Sydney, Australia) –
Writer director Alfred Hirschmeier's film about Clara Wieck and Robert Schumann offers a parallel between Schumann and Wieck's father, who are both seen to profit from their association with Clara, the child prodigy, and when the climactic trial takes place with Clara and Schumann suing Wieck senior for consent for them to be married, one's sympathies are divided. It isn't just that Schumann, who looks a good 10 years older than Clara Wieck, is the more unlikeable since he is always blaming his inability to compose on his poor financial position, and his love of Clara doesn't stop him from regular infidelities. There's also the queasy incestuous behaviour between the Wiecks, actor Herbert Gronemeyer who plays Schumann's facial resemblance to Nastassja Kinski's (she plays Clara) real life father Klaus, and Schumann being a student of Mr Wieck so adopting a father/son relationship. History tells us of the outcome, but we also get the suggestion that Clara's marriage also means the subjugation of her identity to her husband's. We are told that she became the greatest exponent of Schumann's music, but this sounds like a compromise for someone who could have been the greatest pianist of all time. Hirschmeier's screenplay is full of corny melodrama such as "How will this all end?", "Just think how many great musicians have come before you", "If you want my life, it is yours for the asking", "I want to melt in your music", "I was struck by a moonbeam", and the inevitable classical music comparison spoken by Schumann - "Bach has the heaviness, Mozart the lightness, Beethoven the warmth, and Schubert the darkness. What do you have? The nothingness. I have the infinity of nothingness which is greater than all things together". There is also the odd use of "house arrest" described for what we know refer to as a child being grounded. Hirschmeier provides a montage of posters for Clara's concerts, a cut from news of Schumann's inability to marry another female to Clara's performance triumph, a scene where the blind touch Kinski's hands, and a sound edit from orchestral musicians tapping to horses hooves of a moving carriage. Although this biopic may spare us the Hollywood-ised cliches of composer biopics, where the music is an extension of the artist's life, the treatment here is perhaps too reverential. As Wieck senior, Rolf Hoppe makes someone that could have been played as a villian some nice touches, with Hoppe and Kinski being a more dynamic team than Kinski and Gronemeyer. There is one scene where Kinski sits in Hoppe's lap and we watch the perverse testing of where she will allow his hands to go, in spite of his own humiliation. Kinski captures the transformation of Clara from gawky teenager to emerging beauty, and whilst there is one shot where we see her hands and body playing the piano, otherwise there is no pretence made that she is performing Clara's pieces. - DirectorGail HarveyStarsKatie BolandStuart WilsonAlberta WatsonA coming-of-age story of a teenage girl from a liberal upbringing who moves to a conservative baptist community in rural 1950s America.
