Henry Jaglom not given enough attention on this site over 2 years ago

Venice/Venice (1992) is a masterpiece and most of his films are at least watchable.

sally potter should direct twlight movies over 2 years ago

based on the man who cried and orlando, she would give a nice dramatic element to the stories plus she could do any worse than the new moon director

translymania makes history over 2 years ago

To my mind, it is the first time a sequel (to dorm days and dorm days 2) went to theaters while the first 2 went straight to video .

paper heart is the worst example of self-aware; see it and it may make you appreciate the fact that at least jaglom’s films are watchable and oft more than that

What non-directors could be thought of as "auteurs" in their own right? over 2 years ago

rodney dangerfield, jimmy durante, chico marx and warren beatty (when not directing) all the films they star in are their films regardless of who is directing. The muppets too.

fair enough but I wouldn’t say that festival in cannes or most of the ones that jaglom isn’t in are very self indulgent

the women in the real life footage was frightening. The movie was even duller than paranormal activity

things you can watch over and over over 2 years ago

Its strange. I could watch this rockford files tv movie dvd all the time; it’s formula and garner is almost 70 and a tough detective but it is watchable. Whereas Orson Welles don quixote and Michael Winterbottom’s a mighty heart are better films but I don’t want to ever see them again

maybe seth rogen is the problem. There isn’t a moment when you dont know that he is acting. He is one of my least favorite young actors
