Dizzydent: Filmography

It was therapeutic to see the master display insecurity and fear, just like me.

Malcolm X

I wanted to like it but I found it really hammy and over-directed. What kept my interest was Denzel's close ups. At 30 minutes, it felt I had already been watching 2 hours.

Matewan

One of my favorite westerns. Sayles is the man.

Vincere

Fascinating subject matter and a few great sequences, but it just never comes together.

Extraterrestrial

Props to Nacho for toying (successfully) with genre and using ingenuity to go beyond his low budget. Very funny.

Wendy and Lucy

Humanism at its best. Deceptively simple and infinitely profound.

Circo

What a story. I would love to see the narrative version of this, but only Carlos Reygadas, Robert Bresson and maybe Kelly Reichardt could do it justice.

First Position

Don't let your kids get serious about ballet unless you're rich.

The Avengers

Stark and The Hulk should have kissed. They sure wanted to.

Cinematographers should start painting on filters again.

Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff

Maybe I want to watch it. Dunno. Trying to muster the courage.

Brooklyn's Finest

Lots of NY cop movie cliches but well made and entertaining.

The Edge of Heaven

Loved the use of time, space and intersecting stories. What's left out is as important as what's on screen. A lesson in great story telling.

House

Original, imaginative and completely demented. Lives up to its reputation.

Dogtooth

Very smart film that assumes you're intelligent enough to piece together the narrative. It goes deep.

Black Narcissus

I've seen it several times, yet I still catch my jaw dropping once in a while.

Too much talking, too much explaining things, but still worth it.

Cute homage to the movies. The dog steals the show of course.

The Artist

Afredson was the right director for this smart screenplay. I think it's better than what the critics are saying and they're saying a lot of good things. First class project through and through and very entertaining.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

A truly special film. There is so much going on in the frame: layers and layers of sounds and visuals and meaning. It helped me understand myself better.

Shame

My kind of film: dark, stylish and about really fucked up people.

The Children's Hour

That little bitch Mary was terrifying. Children are to be feared.

The Children's Hour

I just realized "Rosetta" was also looking for a job in this one. Ha ha. I love French films because they just show you who people are without trying to explain why they are that way.

Red Dragon

I didn't understand the exploding house until I saw who directed it. Watch Manhunter instead.

Yes, I watched his effin film. The whole thing because I was too lazy to change the channel. I hate myself.

I just met the Dardennes and took a picture with them. They are so down to earth and sweet. Genuine.
