Some recent reviews: Mighty Macs and Boccaccio ‘70:

This week I reviewed the new-to-Blu-ray, confusingly titled 1962 omnibus film Boccaccio ‘70, featuring half-features from Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti, Mario Monicelli (Big Deal On Madonna Street), and Vittorio De Sica. (Short take: The Visconti’s great, the Monicelli’s memorably bittersweet, the Fellini’s self-indulgent even by Fellini’s standards (and I say that as a Fellini lover), and the De Sica could have been made by anyone with a feel for broad comedy and an eye for framing Sophia Loren’s physique).

On the new movie front, I’m seeing The Three Musketeers tomorrow but I also reviewed The Mighty Macs, an inspirational/extremely sleepy inspirational sports movie starring the forever underutilized Carla Gugino. So go see Martha Marcy May Marlene. I saw it a couple of months ago and still get the willies when I think about it.
