Let Me Link

So, June’s here already. I’ve been blogging, but I feel as if May just flew by and I did nothing some substantial. Not that I’m asking, though. Although, these posts are probably more substantial than anything I’ve been doing recently.

   

I love this post from Yojimbo covering The Usual Suspects. I’m not besotted with the film (although I do like it) but I am with his analysis of it. If you haven’t seen the movie, you really shouldn’t read it.

           

I always appreciate it when Nicholas goes crazy on the movies he loves, even if I don’t care for them. I can’t even remember Elizabethtown clearly (I should probably get on that) but he loves it. He really loves it.

          
Paolo might not love Malcolm X but he put forward a nice writeup on it.
          

Joana’s post reminds me how awful I’ve been about 2011 film-watching. I haven’t seen any of the three films she speaks of here (Bridesmaids, Meek’s Cutoffoff and Something Borrowed).

Luke, who started counting down his favourites after me, has reached his number one. I wholeheartedly approve of his choice. It stars cinema’s greatest actor. Guess who.

I was unable to participate on Nathaniel’s Hit Me With Your Best Shot on Moulin Rouge! (so sad, I couldn't find my DVD until Thursday. aaaaaaah.) but I was waiting to see what Jose would write. I know he loves it, and he celebrates it by celebrating Satine. Who can blame him?

It’s not a staple of his blog, but I do like this post from Walter covering the 1974 Best Actress nominees. Faye and Ellen would face off for the win in my book. What about you?

And I close with Tom’s interesting look at The Color Purple. I like the film with reticence, but I love this post of his questioning Speilberg’s sincerity.
