Jack Goes Boating

At the beginning of the film, Hoffman's directing, in parallel with his character, is insecure and awkward. So much so, that during the first ten minutes I nearly shut it off. But as the characters grow, so too does Hoffman's directing, and we see he is indeed competent, and this is indeed a worthwhile gem. I'm glad I stuck with it.

Saw Salo. Dear God. I wonder what the purpose of a movie like that is? Are we more educated about the way to live our lives from watching it? Are we entertained? As we broaden our concept of the horrors that can exist in the the world are we growing or are we losing something? I have no answers for the questions yet. Just pondering. But possibly since I'm now pondering these questions the film has value? Interesting. Anyway, I'm on my way to the Broadway to watch 13 Assassins right now. Have you seen any Miike? So far I've hated everything I've seen by him, but the trailer for this one makes it look like a blend of Seven Samurai and 300. Also, check out the trailer for Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives and let me know what you think. Looks like my kind of movie through and through.

Cool. I'm on it. I gotta get back into viewing. I was at two a day then ran into the Ferocious Oaks EP release and moving to Salt Lake, so the last couple months have just been too busy. I'm happy that I have some things to start on. By the way, did you see Enter The Void? Not the best thing I've seen, only 4 stars, but definitely a strange film viewing experience. Very new.

Interesting about those repetitions. I'm going to give this a second viewing soon and maybe I'll pick up on some of those. I think that lately I've just been on this kick about watching very "entertaining" movies. I've been weighting things like shock value, vibrant color scheme and general strangeness or trippiness very heavily in my priorities lately. I think if you take a scroll through my ratings or blog you'll see what I'm getting at. I watched the first live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie three times in the last three weeks, just because it's so funny (sometime at its own expense). This might account for my impatience about discovering the cause of the anomilie throughout the film. Anyway, tell me a little about Sans Soliel. It sounds awesome, if a little pretentious (I'm judging only by the short synopsis I read on here and the viewer comments).

Full points for exterminating angel eh? I LOVED the concept and much of the dialogue. My only problem was that I got SO BORED through parts of it. I do think that that might not be the fault of the film, as much as the fact that it was my second or third film I'd seen the day I watched it. I need to give it a second viewing to see if it'll bump up to 5.
