The Ice Storm is also pretty popular this week, but I haven't seen that one. Ang Lee runs hot and cold with me, and this one didn't have enough hype surrounding it to force me to see it.

I watched it on a ...Wind River really surprised me. I watched it on a recommendation but was still not sure I was going to care for it but I got caught up in the story and the acting of the two leads was excellent. <br /><br />While I didn't love The Shining, perhaps if I hadn't read the book first I would have gotten more out of it, it had it's scary and disturbing moments. <br /><br />I'm very much in the minority with this opinion (though my buddy that I saw the film with felt exactly the same) but I really detest The Ice Storm. No one was more surprised than I was, more often than not I enjoy Ang Lee films and the cast can't be beat but I was completely put off by that movie.<br /><br />I dread the arrival of winter, I do like to watch it snow if I don't have anywhere to go but otherwise UGH!, and am happy to see it go and Spring arrive but it's not so bad when it's on the screen. These three are definitely snow covered.<br /><br />The Call of the Wild (1935)-Using the Jack London story of a man, his dog and a lot of snow as its loose template this is a rather revised version of Jack Thornton (Clark Gable) his part wolf sled dog Buck, and his partner Shorty Hoolihan (Jack Oakie) as they brave the elements in their quest for fortune, adventure and at least for Thornton romance along the way in the guise of Claire (Loretta Young). Gable and Young had an affair during the making of the film which resulted in a daughter who Young (after vanishing to Europe for a year) passed off as her “adopted” child for the rest of her life. <br /><br />Mrs. Mike (1949)-Young Boston born Kathy O'Fallon (Evelyn Keyes) meets Canadian Mountie Mike Flannigan (Dick Powell) while visiting her uncle in Alberta, Canada. Falling for him and marrying quickly they head to his new posting in the Yukon where they face many hardships along with the biting cold as Kathy struggles to adjust. Based on Kathy’s memoirs of life in the Great White North.<br /><br />The Thing from Another World (1951)-Scientists at an Arctic research station discover a spacecraft buried in the ice. Upon closer examination, they discover the frozen pilot. All hell breaks loose when they take him back to their station and he is accidentally thawed out! joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-70391460217865946382019-01-10T14:26:28.133-06:002019-01-10T14:26:28.133-06:00At least one of us didn't pick Wind River. :-)...At least one of us didn't pick <b>Wind River</b>. :-)Ted S.
