Cine Pelikula: Filmography

The White Ribbon

I watched this film with dread, fear and fascination since the black and white imagery was stunning. A critic once wrote that "White Ribbon" is Haneke's exploration into the origins of German fascism. It is that and more.

[REC]

Scary, fun and sometimes funny (but you have to know your zombie films to appreciate the inside jokes). I didn't buy the ending because it was a bit of a stretch. Narrative-wise it was still interesting. Loved the "behind-the-scenes" video that showed the filmmakers' process. Excellent zombie flick.

A Single Man

Colin Firth and Julianne Moore had interesting sexual chemistry. Tom Ford's film is very stylized and pretty. Visually interesting but it still lacked depth. I guess I couldn't believe the protagonist's loss or mourning. Good film but not great.

Playtime

Visual puns and horatian satire at its finest ridiculing urbanity and modernity. Loads of fun. Perfect for a quiet, winter evening.

Brilliant! Excellent cinematography, fascinating archival images and the gesture to connect radical histories across the globe. I also appreciated how the German activists were presented with warts and all -- their racism and sexism. Brilliant film. Just brilliant.

Cloverfield

I want 85 minutes of my life back. This is a royal waste of time. The protagonists come across as shallow idiots. I was rooting for the monster the whole time. The only thing that was satisfying about the film was the ending -- since your misery (watching the film) was over.
