Tokyo Drifter
an art-house free form jazz yakuza film. about a drifter who's boss has tried to go straight, but rival yakuza gangs won't let it happen and try to take advantage of the situation.
very interesting "mod" style direction. interesting use of color and light. a little difficult to follow the story but over all a pretty good movie. similar to say.... "Miller's Crossing" but.. well not really.
3/5 stars.

afx numb: glengarry glen ross is one of my all time favorite movies.
excellent dialogue. best performance ever by alec baldwin. one of the best pachino performances as well. in fact everyone in that movie is fucking awsome.
anyone who hasn't seen it should do so right away. especially if you love dialogue driven movies.

Salo (The 120 Days of Sodom) -
Well I watched it in Italian without subtitles, and I don't speak Italian so I can't give this a rating overall. But I can say that it is the most sickening film I have ever seen. 10/10 in that department.

you actually watched the whole thing without undrstanding any of it?? i thought those stories were the point of the film...tho if you like sick stuff, you probably got at least something out of it :)
anyway, i couldn't find english subtitles either... so if someone has them i'd love them (my english is a little better than my italian heh).thank you.

Hmmm...
Buffalo Soldiers - 4/5 The Big Lebowski - 4/5 Kill Bill - 5/5 - About time Tarantino did a movie that wasn't self-indulgent bullshit. I don't care how much people rave about him, his first 3 movies weren't as great as everyone made out.
Big Fish - 3/5 (Disappointing, to say the least) Princess Mononoke - 5/5
I'll post more as I see 'em.

Big Fish was, well, a fairly pointless affair, considering Tim's other films. I dunno, perhaps I got bored with the characters.
Which shouldn't happen, since this IS Tim Burton.
Edward Scissorhands will always win for me, seconded by Sleepy Hollow.

BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF!
That movie is where the term "kick arse" is manufactured and tested.
Mani the native american indian is a dude, and he has killer tattoos.

Pirates Of The Caribbean.
2/10
Junk. I would like to give it 0 but it gets 2 because one : it had Johny Depp who is a charismatic actor.
and two : It had the actor from the genious show "The Office" where he played the idiot Gareth Keenan to play the idiot pirate with a glass eye (a glass eye that itches!).

agreed, Johny Depp tends to make any film worth watching. The action was boring and Orlando Bloom was pretty bad.

Johny Depps acting skills is certanly not flawles but he makes up for it with his charisma and cinematic presence.
Agreed , Orlando Bloom was shit . He was the elf again but with a different costume.

Ondskan (swedish for EVIL)
Oscar nominated best foreign movie.
3/5
The actors are stiffs who deliver the dialoge like robots sometimes , (but the guy in the leading role has a certain something).
But its a captivating and exhiting story about cruelty fascism and oppression.
The original book by Jan Gilluo is ten times better.

No no , but it was so incredibly crappy that it really pussled me why it didn't go directly to the video shelfs.
I guess it was the big names Samuel Jackson , Collin Farrel that prevented that.
