Man of the Century

Very creative and original romantic comedy from 1999 directed by Adam Abraham and starring Gibson Frazier and Cara Buono.

Young man living in the modern world dresses, talks, and acts as if he is in a 1930s movie. He seems totally unaware that he hasn't caught up with the real world, but his sunny disposition, innocence, and earnestness win over his friends, coworkers, and love interest. As a reporter for the city's paper he is involved in a plot by criminals to plant a false news story.

Great mix of sensibilities. Highly creative and much fun.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Terry Gilliam comedy from 1988 starring John Neville, Robin Williams, Eric Idle.

Muchausen ( a teller of tale tales) relates his adventures that may be true, may be fantasies. Doesn't matter. Go along for the ride. Very imaginative and funny.

Look for Robin Williams as a manic King of the Moon...and a small bit part from a young Uma Thurman.

Gilliam's films are always a treat.

Enjoy.

The 7th Voyage of Sindbad

Nathan Juran directed this 1958 fantasy starring Kerwin Matthews.

Evil magician reduces a princess to miniature size with stalwart Sindbad to the rescue. Great Ray Harryhausen effects make this one fun...especially the fight scene between Sindbad and a skeleton.

Time Bandits

1981 film by Terry Gilliam with John Cleese, Sean Connery.

Fantasy about a group of little people who are on the run from the Supreme Being and drag a boy along with them throughout time. Along the way they meet Napoleon and other historical figures and try their best to rob them all.

Fun film.

Loved the Robin Hood segment with Cleese.

Rollicking good adventure that bogs down here and there but very different and imaginative.

Blow Up

Michelangelo Antonioni's1966 film stars David Hemmings and Vanessa Redgrave in multi-layed film about a photographer in '60s Mod England who thinks he has uncovered a murder.

The entire film challenges the viewer to consider what is real, what is fantasy....such as a game of tennis that is mimed by street performers...until you start hearing the ball. Amazing film filled with symbolism, meaning, and may leave you both confused and satisfied.

Look for the classic group the Yardbirds in a club scene.
