@Danial Kasman – you liked Pelham more than The Hangover? How is this possible? Have you seen the original Pelham?

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2: SMITHSONIAN
really really awful, hardly rates worth a 1 out of 10. But we just got back from DC so it was fun to see a few minutes of the monuments. And my son liked it alot, so that’s what counts. Really tho, how is Ben Stiller popular? He’s right up there with the abysmal Steve Carrell or Will Ferrell. Complete non-entities who don’t act as much as stand there and dare people to laugh at them in their own stupidity.
The Host 9/10 – sorry Cloverfield this film has you beat :(
47 Ronin (1994, Japan). Kon Ichikawa

3.5/4
The River (2001, Finland). Jarmo Lampela.
3/4
David Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. (2001) – 5 out of 5. Thank god I stayed up until 2:15 in the morning to watch this mesmerising film. It was totally worth it.
Earlier, at a more godly hour, Billy Wilder’s Stalag 17 – 4.5 out of 5
After Hours 9/10
The Holy Mountain: 10/10
Late Sping – 7/10
Oh, No! Giovanni! Late Spring is maybe the greatest film ever made.
The Decalogue 100/100
The Third Man (for the 5th time at least) 8/10
Well Josh, I’m really still sitting on it. Perhaps it was just the mood I was in when I was watching it. A 7 is by no means a bad score, mind you. I still did like it. I just had trouble focusing for some reason. I’ll sit on it and withhold my score until I can give it more thought.
Whatever Works 3/4
I don’t care what anybody says. I love Larry David.
Battlefield Earth: 1 out of 10
Solaris: 9 out of 10
It was quite the double feature.
The Window Carlos Sorin 7/10
A good film about an elderly man’s reconciliation with his son during his last days.
The director directly acknowledges the influence of “Wild Strawberries” and the film suffers a bit in the comparison.
“[…]Solaris: 9 out of 10…
Brendan… Solaris’ Tarkovskji? Or the Sotherberg’s version? I hope that you refer to the first one…
PLOM
Yojimbo 10/10
