Hi there Noel!

Yes. There’s a lot of close-ups in Sergio Leone’s films…I especially loved Marianne Koch’s in “A Fistfull of Dollars” :)

You can check out my Facebook photo album, even if you don’t have a Facebook. It’s a public link :)

Hi there JP Belmondo!

Yes. I agree, there’s a lot of good close-ups of Deneuve in Polanski’s “REPULSION”, I posted two close-ups from that film.

Godard loved to film Anna Karina in a close-up shot, I espcially love her close-up in “VIVRE SA VIE” spoilers ahead (when she’s watching Dreyer’s “Joan of Arc”)…and the one in “ALPHAVILLE”.

CHE over 3 years ago

I’m looking forward on seeing Soderbergh’s “CHE” films. But, is it so necessary to release it in theaters in two parts?!?

Regardless, (as I’ve seen in the trailer and posters) Benicio del Toro seems perfect for the role of the iconic Ernesto “Che” Guevara – he really does look like Che.

This version looks much better than that with Omar Shariff as Che :)

NATALIE WOOD over 3 years ago

She’s one of my fave actresses of all time. I really think that some of her films (especially Nicholas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause) deserves a Criterion treatment. Those eyes of hers…so beautiful. One of the most beautiful faces and powerful actresses in the history of cinema.

What do you guys think of Natalie Wood? :)

Hi Noel!

I love almost all of her movies, especially Love with the Proper Stranger and West Side Story. Her performance in Sydney Pollack’s This Property is Condmened is remarkable :)

Thanks, Drew! :)

I know this might sound weird: If I’m in the mood to bore myself with those hate posts, I go to IMDb’s message boards, arguing and bitching always seems to be the main event there. LOL! :D

But if I’m in the mood to interact with REAL film enthusiasts, I go here to this classy website.
