Did you note most versions now are "director's cut" which add too much and takes away from the original?

Batman v. Superman Ultimate Edition
The thirty extra minutes that were edited out of the theater version, happened to be the ones that explained just what the heck was going on and made it a much better film. Odd choice by the editor. I don't think we'll be seeing his name come Oscar time. I'll bet he cost Warner millions.

Viewing alert: Beginning Monday HBO begins to show the documentary based on the seminal book, Hitchcock/Truffaut. This film uses old recordings and appropriate photos and clips to highlight the time the director Francois Truffaut discussed, with Hitchcock, every film that he'd made up to 1962 (later updated after Hitchcock's death.) Though the French auteurs where always Hitchcock champions this book's effect was to alert the world to the fact that Hitchcock was not an ordinary genre director, but a great artist.

The Passenger--92pts. Antonioni, young Jack Nicholson, Barcelona (Maria Schneider talking about Casa Mila, "It was built by a man who was hit by a street car.") and the justifiably famous penultimate 7 minute shot. As in Red Desert the use of color is integral to the movie--keep your eye on orange in particular. Should be rewatched every 10 years or so--it always rewards.

One of the first films I recall seeing Steven Berkoff in.

Neither were great, but Carey Mulligan is far easier on the eyes.

I also saw Jason Bourne - predictable storyline but enjoyable nonetheless.

B, I really don't know your taste in film. This was adapted from a Philip Roth book, so that will give you a lot of insight to the mood of the film. My guess from those that post often in this thread and what they seem to enjoy this is NOT a film for many here IMO.
I thought the film was well executed and well acted and I would give it a ' thumbs up.'

The Magnificent Ambersons--90pts. Said that it would have been Orson Welles' greatest work if the studios hadn't cut 40 minutes out without his consent. In addition the studio messed so much with Bernard Hermann's music that he demanded his name be removed from the credits--this was granted.
