I saw 1947's "Quai Des Orfevres" and "Camp" at the Madstone last night and was quite pleased with the French film - and horribly annoyed by "Camp" whenever its characters weren't singing.
Aside from "American Splendor" in limited run, there's been little worth seeing at theaters for a couple weeks now.
But that's changing.
Though I will side with my friend Rob that occasionally Ebert can royally miss the mark on a film, I pay special attention whenever Roger Ebert gives a film a four-star rating. Usually it means that the movie's very nearly perfect, I've always found.
Today, he gives both Ridley Scott's "Matchstick Men" and Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" four stars. "Matchstick Men" opens nationally today. "Lost in Translation," which has gotten raves all over the place, will open here in a couple weeks.
"Cabin Fever," which also opened today, got trashed by Ebert, but word-of-mouth has been strong on it. (And it looks freakin' disgusting.)
So it'll be fun to go the movies again.
