9. I give it a 1.5.
My Father the Hero
Grade: B
the french version is better but gerard depardieu’s charm carries the day
he can do no wrong as an actor
Eating Raoul (1982) 8.5-9/10
Eden Lake 8/10
Forget the Last House on the Left remake, this grisly little film gets it right instead.
Sherlock Holmes (Guy Ritchie)
5/10
New Year’s Day (1989)
Grade: A-
Usual Jaglom talk fest
(tho less thematic than some of his)
but a witty one with a good
role for director Milos Forman
Családi tüzfészek (1979)
Director: Béla Tarr
Writer: Béla Tarr
There is no dancing in this debut feature.
Wut uh wih dat?

@Jeff
I couldn’t agree more about Eden Lake. I thought it was great.
@ Jason
Somebody mentioned it as one of the worst horror films of the decade on the horror thread which is truly mind-boggling.
Alfie 4/10. Too much Jude Law is bad for the eyes!
@Jeff
I wonder what their favorites of the decade were.

8. I Don’t Really Like
9. Horror Films

In all fairness to him, he’s not fond of horror films. I’d still like to know why he didn’t care for Eden Lake.

At first it seems horrible affected thanks to Lars Von Trier’s Dogma 95,
but then one realizes it is quite cohesive in bringing one into Julien’s world.
Werner acts mean.

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975, Chantal Boredmeman) – 5/10 If I wanted to see an old middle aged bitch walk around her house for 3 hours I’d go follow my mom around.

Needs a second viewing as my mind drifted in the last 30 minutes or so (the important part of the film), can’t be bothered though.

Andy Oettl
The Holy Mountain (Der heilige Berg) – Germany 1926 – Director: Dr. Arnold Fanck – starring Leni Riefenstahl
a poetic mountain film, technically outstanding for the time
