TheTimm said:The Last Waltz - 4 stars: Martin Scorsese's documentary of The Band's 1976 farewell concert. Looked good, sounded awesome. And what a concert! The Band sure had some hits. Not to mention special appearances by Neil Diamond...Joni Mitchell...Bob Dylan...Ronnie Hawkins...Muddy Waters...Emmylou Harris...Van Morrison...Neil Young...Eric Clapton...
If I had any problem at all with this film, it was with the parts in between the songs -- some of it dragged a little and made them look a little dorky.
TheTimm said:Il Viaggio In Italia (My Voyage to Italy) - 3 stars: Long. Very long. Like over four hours long. (Full disclosure: There are bits and pieces I haven't seen yet, but I've seen enough to have an opinion.) It's a documentary made by and narrated by Martin Scorsese. It takes an in-depth look at Italian movies. And I mean in-depth -- it's like taking a class that's taught by an absolute expert. Scorsese points out things I never would have noticed, and makes me want to see some of these films. A great introduction to Italian films.
Ummm...yes, it's on FilmFest. I'm watching it again right now. Point?T2k said:Ummm... isn 't this on Filmfest? I did watch this on Filmfest tonight (now yesterday)...
