MostlyDead: Filmography

Vertigo

I feel that Hitchcock is slowly becoming one of my favorite directors and it's all thanks, in part, to this doozy. I can't wait to see PSYCHO next month!

Jackie Brown

Minor Tarantino at best

Mon oncle

The ups and downs of modernization are examined in playful fashion by Jacques Tati.

Holy Motors

To me, HOLY MOTORS feels like PLAYTIME except it's (mostly) dark and melancholy. What I like about this film is how the boundaries of its logic are limited to that of the imagination? Why does M. Oscar do what he does every day? Why are there others like M. Oscar doing the same thing? What is the purpose behind these events? At this point, I'm currently open to theories.

Side by Side

SIDE BY SIDE is an overwhelming documentary because it goes into great detail on how digital cinema is tightening its grip onto the moviemaking industry as well as the cold truth that film will eventually become obsolete. Hearing the filmmakers and technicians' thoughts on the change doesn't hurt the documentary at all.

Side by Side

Christopher Nolan knows how to end a superhero film franchise on a satisfying note and use the IMAX technology in the most effective way possible. Btw, Bane is better than the Joker IMO because of how much he was able to do.

The Dark Knight Rises

A fun documentary about a fashion photographer with great editing

Citizen Kane

Watched Citizen Kane in film class last Thursday; the narrative structure is a puzzle with "Rosebud" being the missing piece, and that's what makes it work.

A Clockwork Orange

There may be times when we're able to redeem ourselves, to have our sins put beside us, but in the case of A Clockwork Orange, at what cost is that even possible?

Source Code

Source Code is a really great sci-fi flick. While the story and characters are all good, the heart of the film lies at the science behind what's happening. It might get confusing at first, but it all makes sense as Source Code progresses.

Source Code

I felt that I was unable to finish this movie because it lost me. Some things made little to no sense and the flashbacks were so ridiculously long that they strayed from the main story.

Walkabout

As beautiful and harrowing as it is, I feel that Walkabout contains some elements of Stanley Kubrick.

Heavy Metal

Ralph Bakshi would be so proud.

Heavy Metal

An underrated sex satire that never seems to go overboard like SOME movies...

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask

I remember seeing this...I don't remember if it was any good or not.

The Illusionist

At first, I thought that The Illusionist would follow in the footsteps of Jacques Tati's other films. However, it ends up becoming bittersweet; the last part being depressing.

Rosemary's Baby

Somehow, Rosemary's Baby feels like Hitchcock...

True Grit

The first two-thirds of the movie is just your typical, good-old Coen Bros. film but with some slashed-off fingers. The latter is pretty depressing and has a different ending from the John Wayne movie.

Kuroneko

Kuroneko is so dark and mysterious, it feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone...from Japan.

Head

In the manner of the Beatles' "Help", "Head" gleefully depicts the Monkees trying to escape commercialism.
