Lost in Translation

Sofia's best to date. Still.

American Gigolo

This film has the bravado of Scarface and neurosis of Taxi Driver. Early Gere is good Gere!

Le quattro volte

The glacial rhythm takes hold. A phenomenal film. Much more satisfying than the Cannes winner, Uncle Boonmee.

Taxi Driver

I believe if you're in New York for the next week you are legally obligated to see this at Film Forum.

The Soft Skin

The first time I saw this I was fortunate enough to catch it on the big screen... Godard wrote Truffaut saying something like, "it was bigger than the screen," and he was right.

This film was a turning point for me as an audience member. It will always be dear to me in that regard, my gateway drug to the power of cinema.

Overall, a very underwhelming experience.

The American Friend

Beautiful. Understated. Ganz and Hopper's performances are extraordinary. A revelation in crime cinema.

Why did they include that cheesy dream sequence? Without that I might have considered 4 stars.

I found it on Google: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2079591657829882950# Granted, the quality is shotty. But it must be watched.

BURSTYN, you beautiful beast of an actress.

Opening Night

Gena's performance is a given. It should go unsaid. But Zohra Lampert, her performance, however small, is so nuanced and pleasant. I can't get over the scene when Gazzara's on the phone with Rowlands in the middle of the night, and Lampert is playfully trying to distract him. So subtle and understated. It's amusing and raw and believable. This whole damn movie is a lesson in acting. And Zohra just looks amazing...

    The scene with the phone conversation is my favourite in the film as well. Stayed with me for a long time afterwards.

Beautiful Girls

Remains one of Natalie's best roles. This is one of those great films under the guise of mediocre rom com. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x522cq_beautiful-girls-home-video-trailer_shortfilms

Perfect. Really.

Somewhere

Nicely made, but you can't get comfy with a main character who has models literally throwing themselves at him, drives around in a Ferrari the bulk of the movie (if someone isn't driving him), stays at elaborate suites in Milan, and can fly by helicopter at will. But it must be fun being best friends with Chris Pontius. A good film, regardless, but it's no Lost in Translation. A nice companion, though.

It's not who you take to this movie, if anyone, but who you think of walking out.

Fists in the Pocket

Lou Castel gives one of my favorite performances. Chilling, and yet, strangely endearing.

Brilliant, unnerving, powerful... Darren done good. Darren done real good.

12 Monkeys

Gilliam had a good run in the 80s and 90s, what happened in the past decade one couldn't say. His stuff just got flat. That aside, Pitt's performance is great. One of his best to date, in my opinion. Does anyone else think of Depp's HST when they watch him, or is that just me?

I'm Still Here

Get rid of the Jackass gag scene with the shit, and the drawn out ending and you got yourself a decent film.

Stolen Kisses

Stolen Kisses may be my favorite of Antoine's adventures, although it's very hard to truly commit to just one.

Two in the Wave

It was pleasant but I agree with Will Smit, I remember it more as though it may have been an extra on a DVD. Good observation.

A Woman Is a Woman

Easily one of Godard's finer moments.

L'enfance nue

Pialat's first masterpiece. I know it's redundant to say it, but Pialat is the master of sincere, raw cinema. This is a prime example.

L'enfance nue

Really, Bob, do you need anyone other than Natalie Wood? But in all seriousness, a great piece of film. Sure, there's a definite sense of satire and farce, but there's also something real going on.
