Barefoot in the Park (1967)
Nice Early Performance by Redford
Robert Redford should have got a better acting partner than Fonda in this picture, for her portrayal of the wife is so awful, so hysterical and non-believable that I cannot even begin to describe it. Other than that, the film is quite bearable, if this piece from the 60's is not judged by today's standards.
Absolutely enjoyed Redford's performance, though, as you can clearly see its strong roots coming from theatre. He is extremely young here but a very impressive performer already, making almost all aspects of the husband's character believable. This and his other early roles (for example, 1962 episode "Nothing in the Dark" in the series "The Twilight Zone") give an interesting insight into his technique and how it evolved over the years.
Situation Hopeless -- But Not Serious (1965)
Not Much
Some excellent acting and several funny scenes but apart from that not much, I am afraid. A very weak plot, I dare say.
Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House (2017)
On Woodward impersonation
Two words - beyond criticism. The journalist was potrayed a weak, confused person or rather as a meaningless individual whose role was to only put down Felt's words on paper, no analysis, nothing. A two dimentional character. Didn't work for me, sorry Julian Morris and the crew.
Liam Neeson was believable as Felt, a strong portrayal. 8 points for that. Overall - 6.
Dievu miskas (2005)
Read the novel first, then don't watch the movie
One of the greatest directors of Lithuanian cinema - Algimantas Puipa. One of the greatest novels - "The Forest of Gods" by Lithuanian writer Balys Sruoga. One of the worst screenings ever.
A true story about a professor who struggled with the inhumanity of Nazi in one of their death camps (Stuthof). Irony was the only weapon he had. "I laugh a lot during hard moments. I am deeply ironic - not to the people I'm going to die with, but to the whole wide world." - wrote Balys Sruoga in a letter to his wife from Stuthof death camp in 1944. The novel is a masterpiece, however, the movie - far from it: unnatural dialogs, forced acting.
