About Me

Some people go to church, I go to the movies.

Latest Update

Three-colors-blue

Three Colors: Blue

The first part of the trilogy is the one I find the most powerful and memorable of the three. Juliette Binoche (another unbelievably beautiful actress) portrays a woman almost devoured by grief following the deaths of her composer husband and her small child. There is almost no other film that so successfully and brilliantly integrates imagery, emotion and music to produce a truly wonderful and touching experience.

Just read MiracleMan from the link you posted in the Watchmen thread. Pretty darn good. I really like the ideas and plot that evolves in the beginning. I still like Watchmen more, only because it was given ample time to properly develop it's plot. Thanks for the recommendation though. Any others you'd advise checking out on that site?

City Girl, if you want a good Clouzot to star with go with The Wages of Fear. So great

If you grade films on how successful they are at drawing in an audience and illiciting an emotional or intellectual response, clearly Michael Moore is one of the most effective filmmakers working today…  read review

Inglourious Basterds

Inglourious Basterds

A sprawling, messy, over the top and gloriously insane experience. I’ll agree with what a lot of people have already said; Inglourious Basterds is not a terrifically complex film, but then I’m not…  read review

The Prestige

The Prestige

The Prestige is something of a red-headed step-child, sandwiched between two installments of Nolan’s brilliant re-imagining of the Batman franchise, featuring two actors (Bale and Caine) from those…  read review

(500) Days of Summer

There are times when the state of movies in general can affect your opinion of a specific film. Like (500) Days of Summer, for instance. There may not be a more formulaic genre than the mainstream…  read review
