Martin Scorsese & The Auteurs

Martin Scorsese decided to divulge non-well-know movies, either because they did not survive through time or because they just disappeared.


He has been restoring all sort of movies - silent films, weak films, unknown - and distributing them through the internet. Most of them can be watched for free in his website The Auteurs. Check it and divulge!!!

"Chacun son Cinéma"

There are several reasons to pay a ticket to go to the cinema - reasons which we seldom remember why it is so important to keep going.

We go to the cinema because it makes you:
- wonder why;
- think on the "grande finale";
- cry;
- pay attention;
- look deeply;
- direct your life towards a goal;
- count the minutes;
- clap hardly;
- read;
- enjoy those last hours;
- feel different emotions in an incredibly short period of time;
- disconnect from the surroundings;
- miss another movie;
- laugh;
- want to come back;
- die inside;
- feel alive;
- sing along;
- meet the real cinema;
- know;
- count the chairs;
- live your own life and your own feelings;
- leave and never come back;
- talk about it.

First post

Well hello there

I'm hope mist, and as Lucifera asked me, at times to times, I shall be posting some movie's reviews that I think are worthwhile.
For my first post, I'd like to talk about a somewhat different theme: books to cinema movies. I saw the other day the new movie "Marley & Me". I read the book a few years ago and I reaaly enjoyed it so I must say that I had some high expectations about the movie. It surprised me in an estonishing way. I didn't really expected the adaptation to cinema would be so good and true to the real story. It didn't disappoint me at all..
The movie per se is not much of a big deal but for those who know the story won't be too disappointed. The actors (Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston) play their parts ok without too much of a surprise, we're used to see those mediocre preformances from these two.
I wouldn't rate it too high, but I'd give it 10/10 for the adaptation of the plot. John Grogan (the book's author) must be overwhelmed with joy with the movie. Globally it's a 6,5/10.
For those of you who are interested in wathcing the movie I have to say, read the book first! It's a lot better.
So, until I post again here, kusjes en knuffels!!

hope mist
