April movies

One quasi-sentence reviews for my April films!

You're Gonna Miss Me...2004...usa **** (good music doc on roky erikson & his lost mind)

Run Fatboy Run...2008...usa **1/2 (should have been better with a title like that)

The Eagle...1925...usa *****! (5/5 due seeing it in restored movie palace w/ wurlitzer organ!)

Black Book...2007...germany ***1/2 (surprisingly suspenseful ww2 film about a young jewish woman trying to survive)

Lila Says...2005...france *** (bleak, erotic coming of age film)

Note By Note...2006...usa **** (one year in the life of making a steinway piano, will be in running for top doc in '08 for me)

Tears of the Black Tiger...2005...thailand **1/2 (saturated images + over the top thai spaghetti western melodrama)

Boarding Gate...2008...france ** (first half beyond horrible, second half better, asia argenta acts like an wild animal)

Leatherheads...2007...usa *** (romance angle muddies this '20s set screwball throwback, more football, less sourface)

La Captive...2000...france ** (i felt like i was held captive this was so slow--and i love slow!)

Roman Holiday...1953...usa *****! (one of my all-time favorites...watched again, romantic, funny and just flat out good)

Art School Confidintial...2006...usa **1/2 (how come this wasn't better? art school, satire, zwigoff--disappointment)

Blood and Black Lace...1964...italy *** (mario bava, early slasher film, lighting gone amok)
