Burr couldn't look more disaffected. The voice over is even worse. Morse didn't even seem to try to match Honda's style. But damn, I loved watching this.

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.

This is not film. This is philosophy.

Not high art, but a whole lot of fun.

An imperfect film, but despite it's flaws I found it wonderfully entertaining.

Undeniably beautiful while inescapably repulsive.

Incredibly interesting camera work. I love the dolly in; it's such an effective underscoring of the character's emotional reactions.

I'd be really surprised if Quentin Tarantino doesn't love this film.

Flawless.

The multi-car pileup scene is cinematic choreography at it's most genius.

What a superb display of excellent facial hair.

This film is proof that hollywood need not nor should not dumb down it's productions to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Smart, creative, visually breathtaking, Inception has set a high standard for the decade to follow.

When someone says, "They don't make 'em like they used to," this is the film they're referring to.

Terrible, but I loved it.

Remarkable. No other film I've seen has tackled the complexities of family so starkly and honestly. Invasive yet intimate and with that something else that resembles but isn't quite what you'd call grace or delicacy. This film is timeless and deserves a revisit at every new stage of life.

One of the all time greats. Such a treat to watch.

There's some excellent facial hair in this film. Takashi Shimura's sporting one hell of a moustache.

Giulietta Masina's performance is one of the greatest I've ever seen. Phenomenal and unforgettable, not to mention heartbreaking, she cuts to the core with a simple tear filled glance in your direction. Nights Of Cabiria is an unmatched gem.

A staggering achievement. The Human Condition is easily one of the most important contributions to cinema, and it's easy to see and feel it's reverberations in the film world.

Delightfully campy. Having grown up in Salt Lake City, I got a kick out of seeing the city as it was in the early 60's, particularly that of the 'abandoned' Saltair Pavilion, which has been used as a concert venue for the last several years. By no means a 'great' film, but important and highly enjoyable.

In terms of expectations (mine, specifically), this film was flawless. I get the sense that the target demographic here is not your children or perhaps not even children at all, but instead it's target is the child inside of you. Do yourself a favor and, if you grew up with this film, leave the children at home for your first viewing. There's a great possibility you'll enjoy a lot more than they can.

This will be my generation's Full Metal Jacket. It takes the sadness felt during older war films, Saving Private Ryan especially, and puts it on steroids, turning the sadness into something else entirely. I've yet to pinpoint exactly what it is. Despair? Devastation? Horror? From the first few seconds, I was on the edge, whiteknuckled and riveted. Suspense filmmaking at it's finest.

I'm sure it was a very daunting task, following up No Country For Old Men, a nearly flawless film. This film's greatness stems from the Coen's lack of even trying to.

So, uh, close to home? Yeah. Direct hit. Perhaps that makes all the difference in your star ratings. Also. Anne Hathaway? More of this please. Please. This is probably the best film about dealing with family during the recovery process I've seen.

Just another day in Palestine. This film is just one giant set up to a heart warming pay off. Supposedly a comedy, it seems to be more of an expression of looking on the bright side, even as your city goes to hell around you.

The twenty minute sitar jam at the end of the film is indeed worth standing ovation, but, especially with today's attention spans, is very arduous to get through, especially sober. This film stands as a great monument to an era, one in which I wish I were around to have participated in.

Doin' a heckuva job, Idi.

Think Misery. In Korea. And with a whole family. And perhaps a bit sexier. But in a rape fetish kind of way. This film sure has a lot of ominous-closing-of-doors in it. And then it turns into an after school special. Brilliant?

"I'm not a demon, I'm a human being..." That pretty much sums up my thoughts on organized religion. This film contains some of the best scenes of sexual frustration in cinema.

Subtle, simple, brilliant. You could do a lot of reading into this film, in regards of any metaphorical implications, but that discussion could be endless. The soundtrack here is pitch perfect, walking bass lines throughout, and the juxtaposition of the almost cartoon feel of the movers with the scenes of extreme brutality is excellent.
