July 18 - 24 "Film a Day"

This week I started my "A Film a Day" Goal and I am proud to say I kept it! I actually watched more than a film on some days

MONDAY
Zabriskie Point - Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni (1970)
I really liked this film, made me think a lot about the gov't in the 70's and now.

TUESDAY
The Seventh Seal - Directed by Ingmar Berman
Playing chess with Death! how can you not like this film! great classic. Rented this at Blockbuster which pretty soon is going to run out of foreign films for me to watch. I picked this one because it was the weirdest looking cover there was and thankfully I now know who this great director is

WEDNESDAY
Fantastic Planet - Directed by Rene Laloux (1973)
Finally watched all of it! I had seen clips before and always thought WHAT IS THIS? I NEED TO SEE THIS. This is now one of my favorite films and greatest animations I have ever seen in my life.

THURSDAY
Boyfriends and Girlfriends - Directed by Eric Rohmer (1987)
80's french films always have the best clothes!! Just saying. This film is one of those great french films that brings you into a group of people's life like no other culture can.

FRIDAY
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - Directed by Julian Schnabel (2007)
Finally finished this film, really great lines and lessons to be learned from this film.

and Volver - Directed by Pedro Almodovar (2006)
I can't believe it took me so long to finally watch this film. Great director and good stories as usual. Sets and colors from this director are my favorite

SATURDAY
Wild Strawberries - Directed by Ingmar Bergman (1957)
Loved it too! Picked a 2nd one of his films unknowingly. Another great story with a beautiful script. Not to mention gorgeous cinematography

and Insidious - Directed by James Wan (2010)
I love all horror movies, so me and Chad finally went to watch this at the dollar movie. I thought it was pretty interesting and me and Chad both liked the devil's room, which had really cool puppets. Oh and a lot of scared kids in the audience

SUNDAY
The Adventures of Prince Achmed - Directed by Lotte Reiniger (1926)
Hadn't seen this is a while, but this was at the Ritz theater with a live band!

& Population 1 - Directed by Rene Daalder (1986)
Watched this in bed at Chad's and i'm not gonna lie, I drank a lot of wine this night but it didn't kick in till after the movie thankfully so I do remember everything in this film! I liked it but then again how can you not like it, Tomata Du Plenty stars in it!!

I also watched a bunch of short films. I am regretting not starting this film a day thing sooner. But anyways I must get back to Rosetta Level 2. I wish they had some animated confetting for when you finish a level.
