White Zombie - 3/5 |

the last samurai - 7/10 - note, i give it a 7 based on outstanding cinematography, sets, costumes, action, and the absolutely terrific japanese actors. tom cruise can go take a leap. solaris (1972) - 6/10 - my score would have been higher but i was greatly bothered by the impression that the translation job was atrocious. otherwise, my score would have been higher. |

Butterfly Effect 2/10 ..I thought this was a bad film which they made incredibly (and unnecessarily) harsh to distract people from noticing the massive plot holes and the fact that despite stating the Chaos Theory at the start the film actually has nothing to do with it. Eternal Sunshine 8/10 Kill Bill Vol 2 8/10 |

oh my god your avatar rules (because Stalker is my favourite movie of all time) |

Fog of War 8.5/10 definitely one of the most well put together documentaries that i have seen in a long time... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it'd be cool if you could elaborate on your opinions on this film and on Hitchcock in general... i've always been kind of lukewarm on the man myself... but i always ranked vertigo as one of his better films... (the only one that i really really like is probably rope) |

don't you like eraserhead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you insinuating that eraserhead is boring? *fisticuffs* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is, but that doesn't make it bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm... so "boring" isn't bad by definition? sounds like the kind of metaphysical debate that ought to go on at this time of night... :P i'd say that, personally, any movie i enjoy is not boring (and yet, somehow i feel as though i could come up with an exception)... something about it holds my attention, intrigues me, makes me feel, etc. it certainly isn't always the plot (which seems to be the fixation of most filmgoers i know, despite the fact that most plots have been recycled ad infinitum for centuries...), but it is always something... |

gus van sant made gerry and elephant with the intention of being absolutely boring, and they're great movies. if that matters. i just have a thing for beautiful boring-ass art films. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still havn't seen eraserhead.... but i really want to, none of my local movie stores have it for rent. |

dvd rips are on soulseek. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you can't find it locally, your best chance is just to wait until it comes to a local art house... it made the rounds not long ago, and i'm sure it will again soon (it is a cult classic, after all) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also have a thing for "boring-ass art films" :P... in fact pretty much all of my favourite films most people would consider boring... but they aren't boring to me (at least as far as what i understand the word "boring" to mean), and i'm sure they aren't boring to you either... Gerry is so fucking gorgeous... and it isn't just that... i thought the acting was fantastic, and the writing (however little of it there was) was very good... |

Hmm, I'm really not convinced of the merits of Hitchcock. With the exception of Rope I have found all of his films to be quite tedious. Loooong stretches of nothing happening just doesn't work for me unless there's overriding artistic merit, such as with Lynch's Eraserhead. I can appreciate Hitchcock films in the context of their importance to the history of cinema. Much of what he did was ahead of it's time and he pioneered a lot of the techniques that filmmakers use so regularly today, but as a viewer I'm not primarily a scholar of film history, just someone who wants to watch something entertaining and/or artistic. Hitchock fails on both counts. |

Don't Look Now 8.4/10 Dreams 8.3/10 both films were very well done visually for the most part... Don't Look Now is definitely a pretty cool kinda quasi-horror mystery film... it really captures a nice vibe... for some reason it reminds me of the Ninth Gate before it starts to suck at the very end... Dreams shows just how insanely masterful Kurosawa was at speaking through film towards the end of his life... every once and a while characters or dialogue doesn't quite work, but it's more than compensated for in the gorgeous shots and sounds that surround these missteps... |
