electric vindaloo
May. 2nd, 2005 02:18 pmAngels in America (part one) - Reg thought this was really bizarre, but I think that's because he's never seen Jeffrey. Both based on the eponymous plays by gay men, it becomes clear that Jeffrey's author desparately wished to be Tony Kushner. But anyway. Reserving most judgement till I get to disc 2. Al Pacino is still God. Or um, that other guy.
On the Waterfront - once you stop watching old movies unfortunately it becomes hard to get back in the groove. This one had that method flaw that most of Brando's early works have, and while it works great off of his primal manliness, almost everyone else comes across as a cartoon character. This isn't a bad thing, I just wasn't really in the mood for it. So I didn't watch about a quarter of it, but the last 30 minutes were pretty riveting.
