Boccaccio 70 - 8/10
Liked Fellini's and Visconti's segments, De Sica was only
passable

Besides that it was old Trier's weekend: The Element of
Crime, Epidemic, Europa and Medea. They all get a 10/10. I
came from hating this guy when he became fashionable in
Poland (around the time The Kingdom played in theatres) to
loving his work now. I just can't find a flaw in any of his
films.

Freeze Frame 4/5

Freaking movie, very well acting of the main character. I've
to watch this movie again to see if everything really is
possible.

The Constant Garden - 5/5

Possibly makes one question the voracity of drug companies,
not to spoil the film for those who haven't seen it already.


Also, it's a nice alternative to recent Hollywood revamps of
older films.

the station agent - 3.55555555/5 - did zephyr twin name
himself after the train? something to ponder.

rumble fish - 4/5 - it took a while to get into but once you
catch the drift it's a great ride. i'll have to watch this
one again.

it can be good if you find someone who seem to like the same
movies or if you see many people give a certian movie high
rates.

chambre noire do you like Nirvana ?
maybe the film is better if you like them but i dunno

I thought this thread was only for showing off our tastes.

Anyway, if anyone cares

Kurosawa - The Hidden Fortress - 8/10 (Forced humour = -2)

Geeks should note that this was a major inspiration for
Lucas.

John Carpenter's The Thing, saw it for the millionth time on
the Space Channel the other day. And that same day, Escape
from Alctraz on History Television, which I've also seen a
million times. Both are AAA and hella taut.

Tarkovsky - Ivan's Childhood - 9/10

It's the best film about war I can recall. Don't expect much
action.

Kubrick - The Killing - 7/10

Nice pre-Pulp Fiction interleaving of plots, but apart from
the gimmick, there is nothing interesting in this one.

Battle of algiers is waiting in the "to watch" folder. I had
a terrible time finding a decent rip.
I didn't like "Idi i smotri" too much. The "oh my god, how
the world can be so cruel" frames with the kid's bewildered
face ruined it for me. But it's only my problem, the movie
is undoubtedly a great one.

-Better than I though, it did scare me quite a bit. A heart
as drugged as mine really can't take those silent bits
waiting for the loud noise.

monster in law - whatev..

Onibaba (Kaneto Shindo) 5/5
- amazing early japanese horror film

Aguirre: The Wrath of God (Werner Herzog) 6/5
- i've just decided Herzog is the best director alive

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Tim Burton) 2.5/5
- Dissapointing

Down By Law (Jim Jarmusch) 5/5
- can't wait to see broken flowers!

The Sun (Aleksandr Sokurov) 3/5
too slow and subtle, and not in a good way like
Tarkovsky...

Crash (Paul Haggis) 3/5

- i'm divided on this one, a little melodramatic and
contrived in parts but compared to most movies coming out of
America this is one of the best i've seen for a while.

Last Life in the Universe (Pen-Ek Ratanaruang) 4.5/5
- You'll never want to watch Lost in Translation again after
seeing this, this is how it should be done, amazing film and
amazing ambient soundtrack!

The Manchurian Candidate (1962) - A weak 8/10 or a strong
7/10. Sinatra's acting and some plot inconsistencies were
big cons.

Pantalaimon, you'll change your mind about Herzog when you
see his newer movies like "The Invincible". "Aguirre"
however is outstanding.

Pantalaimon, I have a question about Sokurov's "Solntse".
Did you watch it in a cinema or did you have english
subtitles for the rip available in the internet. The reason
I ask is that I won't be able to watch it before next July
on a film festival here (I'm sure it won't be screened in
normal theatres) and I cannot wait that long.

Cannibal Ferox, lolsauce. Not a good movie but it was an
entertaining 92 minutes. Could have been more disturbing,
Mike should have been alive when they lopped off the top of
his head and ate his brain. But he just sorta... died.

Dolls - 5/5

Takeshi Kitano has made the most agonizingly beautiful story
of unrequited love that i have ever seen. This movie was
pure Kitano, subtle and melancholy. 'Dolls' is similar to
Kikujiro but far more heartbreaking. I loved it.
