nicotina - 2.4/5 - been reluctant to rent this for the past seven years. i really should follow my intuition more often. plains, trains and automobiles - 3/5 - nice music. very odd change of mood at times. the incredible shrinking man - 4/5 - a film for all. |

i'm also vvondering vvhether they used the same house for all 1980s hollyvvood films. |

oh sorry, nicotina came out in 2003. i thought they tried too hard to be cool. review on the back called it a "spanish pulp fiction". i think that's one of the reasons why i never rented it. it's not easy randomly selecting movies, covers and write ups can be so deceiving. i am usually distrustful of any movie i first see, although i've watched many good films with bad covers. |

Rashomon - 4/5 Good, not quite up to Kurosawa's usual high standards though, i'm guessing its one of his early films |

Burn After Reading - somewhere between 6/10. I was hoping that after No Country For Old Men there's no return to the bad times, but unfortumately I was wrong. I am really surprised that they decided to start shooting with such an uninspired script. Such a waste, they could've done the same story i na much better way having so much talent and all. None of the actors except Brad Pitt (!) was able to save their roles either. It was shocking how unconvincing Malkovich was in this movie. Especially the cursing. I could've sworn the man had never uttered a fuck before. |

I gotta disagree with you there on Rashomon. I've seen a half-dozen or so of Kurosawa films, this was one of the better ones. |

you are deceiving, bit bare. even though you are shaking. i started watching 'Captain Ron' earlier but it didn't sound so good on these speakers so i decided to pause, have a cigarette and switch to tv sound. some time has gone by and the movie is still paused, no switch as of yet. nice song in the beginning. that sounded cool on the speakers. i already psyched myself out though. martin short said much about how his character will be for the entire movie when he got stuck in the doorway. he's a softy and michael douglas will be the overbearing personality, too much for martin to handle. martin will become victimised. o'm sure the back of the dvd says something similar but i didn't bothering reading it, i don't even know why i rented it, i think i panicked. maybe once they're out on the ocean it will be better. Later: Heart of Glass |

i review this film lots of rimes. i rate for 12/12 |

heart of glass - 3.5/5 my least favourite by herzog. i prefer his free style to the 'rigid' direction of this film but he's his own man so he can make what he wants. it's a good film but not really what i needed in my fragile state of mind. i should have gone for something more familiar. god damn captain ron hardly set the stage either. |

I think it's one of his very best. It is a fantastic film. It's the greatest. |

I'll probably watch it again sometime. |

thanks for reminder about Herzog, i need to re-watch Aguirre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the music in Aguirre is awesome. Herzog's films have nice music in general. kind of calm ‘wholesome’ music, optimistic in a way, which has a nice contrast to what is actually happening in the film. Fitzcarraldo was my introduction to Herzog and remains my favourite, but there is much I haven’t seen by him. i think he is a very bold director. and he has a cool voice. the moment i heard it in Julien Donkey boy I immediately knew it was him. Klaus Kinsky is also worth noting as being cool and associated with Herzog. |

I know his voice from Grizzly Man - very fitting. The atmosphere of those Herzog's films featuring Kinsky is unique, to me it's mostly thanks to his somehow mad and surreal appearances and of course the soundtracks too. Btw both Fitzcaraldo and Aguirre scores were written by Florian Fricke, old german electronic music composer. Worth checking. |
