Todd Solondz has been doing the opposite of other directors and having less self-restraint with each movie he makes, and I think it's working! There's few movies like this, and even fewer as cynical as this.

So many child beatings. I guess it's a "good" movie, and I'd recommend it, but I won't be watching it again on my own time. It had good lines and looked really nice, but it focuses on some things for way too long. Like Ingmar Bergman, he forgot films are supposed to be entertaininment.

Jesus christ this is awful. I was expecting critique of the upper class, but it just seemed filled with inside jokes of the upper class. If the point was to make these characters unlikable and impossible to connect with, then congratulations, you succeeded and your movie is a piece of shit.

Eraserhead made more sense. There's just too much of nothing and everything going on and not a single thing is clear. I guess that makes it interesting, but only as interesting as vomiting out a nightmare onto film. I still bought the DVD.

This movie is simultaneously hilarious and awesome. The writing is so awful, but the scanner scenes are mind-blowingly mind-blowing.

This movie is so confusing! But I don't think it could've been pulled off any better.

It gets boring, but the fact that it gets so far purely on style and cinematography is a testament to the artistry of this film.

If aliens parked spaceships outside of earth's atmosphere and we could transmit one video to them, it should be Sans Soleil.

I didn't like how heavy-handed it was with talking about the "financial crisis" in the beginning and I couldn't really connect with these super-rich characters, but when it started to focus more on the relationships near the end, it got really good. I feel like this movie didn't have much to say, but the way it's all presented is really entertaining.

This was a really entertaining thriller. It gets a little long, but it allows you to better understand Nishi's motives and makes the ending much more devastating.

Solaris took me three tries to finally get through. It just wasn't making sense and it bored me, but people kept raving about it. On the third try, 2 years after my first try, I was in complete awe and everything made complete sense all of a sudden. I haven't gotten through Stalker yet after two tries. I guess I'm supposed to like it, but this movie is awfully slow, boring, and ugly. Maybe it'll click like Solaris..

I feel like I over-rate David Lynch. But honestly, only Lost Highway and Inland Empire are not perfect films.

At the end, when the Gundersons are sitting in bed, watching TV, Marge having singlehandedly closed the case, her husband getting his Mallard on the 3 cent stamp, and a baby just 2 months away, I can't think of a happier ending for two characters in a movie. I mean everything couldn't have gone wronger for everyone else, but the very ending of this movie is so damn happy.

The visuals are great. The plot is weak and there's a bit too much of it. It's Alice in Wonderland for the digital age.

The most comprehensive and intimate documentary that I have seen. And I was still surprised when I realized afterwards that it was 3 hours long. They managed to fit 5 years of life into a 3 hour package that felt like 90 minutes.

Goddamn Leonardo DiCaprio can climb some fucking cliffs.

Paris, Texas is the most beautiful thing I have seen.

The parts dealing with the game show and Sara are the saddest scenes I have seen in a movie.

According to myself: the point of a movie is to show something not tell it. The book, The Lovely Bones (which I have not read), sounds like an emphatic read, but when Saorise Ronan narrates lines from the book in the movie, it's just lazy filmmaking. So much of the things she was saying could've been shown visually, not announced, and it would've made the purgatory scenes a lot better and not merely candy coated.

I wish this was a TV series. I got really attached to characters, and I was really sad that it had to end. The acting all around was great, the script was great, and the directing made for some tense moments. It doesn't have the originality of Pulp Fiction, but it sure is fine cinema.

Cry baby, cry. Stick a finger in your eye... And tell your mother: it wasn't I !GONG!

It's not the most subtle film with people mining for "unobtainium" on "Pandora" from a base in the "Hallelujah Mountains" and it's obviously drawing parallels to the Iraq war and our wasteful use of the environment. But it was really enjoyable. The special effects were amazing and it was well paced and really interesting. It's not a film like you could get from Jean-Luc Godard, but Godard could not do this film

Isn't this the title of the book Richard Caramel was writing in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Beautiful and Damned"?

A strange and far-out-there film that actually makes complete sense.

I hope this movie gets attention during awards season, because the attention it would give the director, Duncan Jones, would be great in bringing us more films from him. Sam Rockwell gave a great performance as well--pretty much carrying the whole film by himself.

I wouldn't call this fine cinema, but it is scary, and it is better if you know little about it beforehand.

This movie is shit, but it is the goriest thing I have seen.

It's really pretty. I don't get what any of it means, and it doesn't make me feel much either. There are some powerful scenes, like the little game, the shooting range, and the part where she (A?) is kind of lost in the gardens, but not much else. I mean there's a real sense of mystery and foreboding, but nothing happens. I'm not sure if I like it.

This would be a really good film if the acting wasn't so bad. But it is interesting to see how terribly Van Sant directed the actors in this movie and how he was able to pull brilliant performances out of non-actor casts in his recent Elephant and Paranoid Park.

God dammit Criterion Collection. Release this one already so I can purchase it.
