Pepe le Moko is #555 on My Quest to watch The 1000 Greatest Films Screened 11/09/09 on DVD from GreenCine Ranked #519 on TSPDT Though it has been remade several times (both loosely and straightforwardly so) and was highly influential on Michael Curtiz when he made his Academy Award winning classic Casablanca just a few years later, and (of course) was referenced by Jean Luc Godard (via Jean Paul Belmondo)...
the fantastic jean paul belmondo. he was made Chevalier (Knight) of the Ordre national du Mérite as well as Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur. he is adored as one of the most notable actors of the french new wave. he is not working too much these days but perhaps becoming a father for the 4th time at the age of 70 has kept him busy. if anyone typifies the expression 'ugly/beautfiul' it...
Why is it that essays bring out the worst in me? Strictly speaking they don't, but I've had all summer to write as much as I please on this little blog, but when I sit down to start my first 3rd year essay, I find myself distracted ever so easily. Maybe this blog isn't the outlet for my creative pursuits I'd first envisaged, but a tool of procrastination. Aa well the less I dwell the better. I've been...
Who doesn't love a good old fashion Goddard film to leave you puzzled and somewhat sad? I knew that was exactly what you needed on this late Sunday night. Much of the film is pretty hammy and slapsticky (which might explain why it's my favourite Goddard as of yet). But the thing I love most about Goddard characters is that while they're suppose to be adults, in many ways, they're incredibly childlike,...

even though i like the actor jean paul belmondo, he as not the reason i purchased this film. the magical child actress patricia gozzi is credited as having a role and even if her appearance were only five minutes that is more than enough to justify the purchase. the good news is jean paul is amazing and patricia has several scenes. this love story of friendship between a young priest and a young mother...
Winter of 1978 – Martín (7) We were already living in Buenos Aires, and the movies starring French actors Alain Delon and Jean-Paul Belmondo were very popular, as they somehow portrayed the prototype of the ‘Argentine macho’. They would always look impeccable (especially Delon), with their hair combed back with gel (‘gomina’, as we called it) and showing a charm...
This dinky little vehicle, parked earlier this evening next to Sassafraz on Cumberland Street in the heart of Yorkville, is only slightly larger than the little convertibles that toddlers sit in at amusement parks. How can a Jean Paul Belmondo guy be a real man and own something like this? How can he perform sexually with his Jean Seberg-like girlfriend? It's humiliating. Bring back those effin' gas-guzzling...
"Youth In Revolt" trailer in HD, starring Michael Cera and Portia Doubleday. "Cera bounces back in a big way. While he still plays essentially the same character he's been playing since SUPERBAD & JUNO, YOUTH IN REVOLT finally allows him to show a bit of edge, especially once his alter-ego, Francois is introduced.

DCist's highly subjective and hardly comprehensive guide to the most interesting movies playing around town in the coming week. Léon Morin, Priest This underrated masterpiece by Jean-Pierre Melville received a belated theatrical release in the U.S. earlier this spring. Belated by nearly a half-century, as it was originally released in 1961, and for some reason had never been distributed in...
LOS ANGELES, CA -- This article in the Los Angeles Times discusses what's left of L.A.'s repertory cinema scene. On a recent weekend in Los Angeles, avid and adventuresome moviegoers had a menu of screening choices that included a 1950s Mexican sci-fi film, a tripped-out 1970s insect documentary, glittery camp and fantasy action-adventure from the 1980s, plus a double bill of lesbian vampire pictures....
