  • Mark Waters – The House of Yes (1997)

    1991-2000ComedyDramaMark WatersUSA

    A rather disturbed young woman, who calls herself Jackie-O (Parker Posey), and pretends her brother, Marty, (Josh Hamilton) is JFK, is at home with mother (Geneviève Bujold) at their stately home, along with her two brothers, and Marty’s new fiancee, Lesly (Tori Spelling.)

    What family secrets will we discover? How will Lesly react to her fiancee’s most unusual family? Are there yet darker secrets? Is their rather unconventional behavior contagious?

  • Michel Deville – On a volé la Joconde AKA The Mona Lisa Has Been Stolen (1966)

    1961-1970ComedyCrimeFranceMichel Deville

    The Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world, and the most alluring. As soon as Vincent sets eyes on this remarkable work of art he knows that he must possess it, which is not so unlikely as it seems because he is the most accomplished burglar in the world. Stealing valuable paintings is something that Vincent specialises in, so walking off with Da Vinci’s portrait of the woman with the inscrutable smile ought to be a doddle. First he needs a pretext for his frequent visits to the Louvre Museum, and this he obtains by getting himself taken on as an assistant to the picture framer Monsieur Lemercier. He also takes the trouble to strike up a friendly rapport with the man whose job it is to guard the coveted painting. How providential that, like Vincent, he should have a keen interest in chess.Read More »

    Quote:
    This movie is not as good as the first one but is in the same style and idea. This one has some very funny ideas in it. Moni Moshonov (as always) gives a great show, he is by far one of the best (if not the best) actor in israel today. He is however the only one that does not take his clothes of. This movie like hatona meoheret has a alot (some might say too much) of nudity and sex scenes so dont. Hope you enjoy and if you do watch hatona meoheret
