David Mamet

I love Mamet's dialogue. Homicide and House Of Games are required viewing.

One of my favorite filmmakers. I can't get enough of his style.

Watching the redux again. I love this film.

A Serbian Film

This isn't a film that everyone should watch. If you want to see how you'll react to over the top torture porn, then give it a go. The entire film is a drug fueled sex rampage. If the filmmaker actually spent time building the relationships between family members, the end would be much more cringe worthy. It played like a gross out roller coaster. I might have actually thrown up if I cared about the characters.

State of Play

This is definitely superior to the American version with Mr. Crowe. Do yourself a favor and watch this instead.

State of Play

This documentary starts playing here tomorrow and I'm definitely going to see it. I'm a sushi lover and I've always wanted to know more about the great masters of sushi. It seems as if I'm not the only one who is interested...the film is getting great reviews from almost everyone.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi

Wow. This was extremely emotional. I've always been a proponent of physician-assisted suicide and after this film, I feel no different.

How to Die in Oregon

Intense and important film.

The Battle of Algiers

I love the blu-ray packaging with Kellerhouse's design. Amazing special features and the commentary is great, as usual.

Goon

I had a good time watching this movie. Fun story with characters you can root for. Give it shot.

Ken Loach

The naturalistic performances he gets out of his actors are amazing. You can feel much more for each character because of the actor's realistic delivery.

The Grey

This film was a metaphor. It was about the acceptance of death. Each deals with it in different ways. The wolves, representative of death, come for the men one by one. They all have different reasons why they keep holding on or why they let go. The film looked great and is definitely the most substantial, content/theme wise, of Joe Carnahan's work. It suffered slightly from pacing issues, but I really enjoyed it!

The Grey

It was great to see all the old footage of Clash and Kermit (not the puppet). This documentary is definitely worth watching. It's an uplifting tale.

A Self-Made Hero

Any idea where I can find this film? Not in PAL format?

Alien

I just watched this 2003 Director's Cut again. I enjoyed it much more than the sequels it spawned.

A Dangerous Method

If you are interested in psychology or the beginnings of psychoanalysis, then watch this film. If you are interested in great performances and a great script, then watch this film.

The Elephant Man

I hadn't seen this film in years. Truthfully, I forgot the entire thing. I must say, this film had me very emotional. John Hurt did an amazing job transforming into Merrick. His walk, the way he spoke...everything took an enormous amount of dedication from Hurt. Also, the idea about how, in a way, the doctor was just the same as his previous captor. Exploitative. What does that say about the human condition?

The Elephant Man

Such a great film. Gary Oldman rocks it. The cinematography, production design, acting...all deserve the accolades they received at the BAFTAs.

50/50

Really great movie. It was especially moving at certain parts. I had cancer when I was 14 and I've been through multiple surgeries as well. When Adam finally breaks down and admits to his Mother that he's scared, I started crying because that feeling and setting really hit home.

Enter the Void

Watching this film was one of my favorite cinematic experiences to date. I don't recommend for the average filmgoer, but I was captivated by the cinematography and the vast question(s) addressed.

Enter the Void

Incredible. Such a great life story of a great man. If I can live that long and still stick by my ethics I will die happy...although I probably already threw my ethics out the window.

Drive

Just great. I came out of the theater completely satisfied and wanting to see it again.

Contagion

I absolutely love Steven Soderbergh. As with many of his films, Soderbergh was his own cinematographer, shooting under his alias Peter Andrews. His signature visual style, the intense score, and the constant flow/skilled pacing make this an all around winner. See this film when you get a chance.

Contagion

It's a shame this was Ted Demme's last project. This documentary and his last feature film, "Blow", really represent the work of someone on their way up. He died of an accidental cocaine overdose at 38 years old.

The Debt

It was slower than I was expecting going in, but I was not disappointed. It was quite a sad story that shows the fear, shame, and sadness that comes with living a lie.

London Boulevard

I quite enjoyed the film. Especially the soundtrack. Ray Winstone was great as always. I suggest watching it.

London Boulevard

I've been interested in Burroughs for years. I think when I first used opiates, he was someone who I thought was brave. Now that I can look back on those years of my life, this film really made me think about my past more humanely, rather than regretfully. "Wherever I go and whatever I do I am always in the strait-jacket of junk, unable to move a finger to free myself." The ultimate control.
