i <3 huckabees - lol history of violence - cronenberg manhattan murder mystery - allen y'tu mama tambien - ernesto takes a different road trip 8 1/2 - looked like there was a lot going on but i couldn't read the subtitles as they did not contrast too well with the white, bright backdrops. lovely to look at even though i didn't understand it, however, something tells me had i been able to read the subtitles, or if i was italian, then i still would not have been able to understand it.

I can't remember the story of 8½, maybe there wasn't one, maybe it was all a dream, maybe it was all about scenes and scenery and mise-en-scene...
I loved 8½, although Roma is more laid back.

A History of Violence - 9/10
Cronenberg + Mystery + Drama = Three thumbs up!
Crash - 6/10
Now a word about Crash... Sure it won an Oscar. Sure it's a clever film on all levels, one that serves as a commentary on the social realities of USA today. Sure the actors were top notch. Sure it's a tight, waterproof package.
That's just the problem see. I have invented a new category of films. See, some films are just so good that they're bad. Not the other way around. Overstatement can be a drag.
Perhaps had it not won Oscars (3 of them) I would be more lenient, but I'm making a point here, see.
*minor SPOILERS ahead!* ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Okay, 1) I felt emotionally manipulated throughout the whole film.
2) The sub-plots only nominally came together. 3) Sandra Bullock and Brendan Fraser didn't work as a couple at all. The racist cop-father relationship was another miss.
4) The excesses of witty dialogue come out ridiculous (or is that ludacris?), faux, pathetic and superficial.
5) "magical realism" (if that's what this film had a touch of) doesn't work so well when applied to stereotypical L.A. characters and their worrisome lives.
Overall I can see why Hollywood would love this film, but truly some films are too good for their own good...

Tim, the Mel Gibson movie. Didn't really like it, love stories are gay. But Piper Laurie was a major MILF and she must have been almost 50 at the time.

Haha what the hell, Advent Children is just absurdly bad, one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. It's a bunch of crowd-pleasers thrown together in a succession of deus ex machinas. In a way, it's actually quite amazing, and a good exemple of why videogame makers shouldn't try cinema.

The Quiet Earth, 4/5
By the director of Under Siege 2. But I expected to love this movie anyway, I loved the ''last guy on earth'' premise. I always think about the perks and horrors of that situation, so a lot of the concepts in the first half were really familiar and very stimulating but of course it just HAD to go downhill a bit. Easy to fuck up a delicate thread like this. Still a really interesting little sci-fi.

Well, I've just finished watching Advent Children. Some of the animation was really great, obviously a LOT of work was put into it. Pity that what came out of it is just another contender for the most tasteless movie in history.
Dariusgriffin's description of plot is spot on. I won't rate it because it too much depends on who's watching. Children of Dragonball will enjoy it.
The day was not wasted though, cause: Taviani brothers - Kaos - 10/10

United 93 - 4/5
for me this was almost as much as an emotional rollercoaster as the real event. one of the best things about this movie is that it recreates the feeling of disbelief probably anyone had that day. first a plane was hijacked and next a plane flew into the wtc and initially no-one even considered those to be the same planes. up until that day it was just unheard of to use commercial airlines as bombs. great movie.

Taviani Brothers - Padre Padrone - 9/10
Bruno Dumont - Flanders - 6/10 - Sorry, not impressed. The best adjective would be "stereotypical".
Agnes Varda - Lions Love - 10/10 - You must watch it. This is the first work of art created by a woman that impressed me. And how! This is a magnificient movie, please watch it for your own sake.
Martina Kudlacek - From the Notebook of Marie Menken - 8/10 - A very good documentary, but it felt like the people interviewed ran out of things to say 2/3 through the movie.

Advent children is only for the true FF geeks anyway, Every single person who liked the game loved the film to death... I bought one.
TWIN PEAKS: Fire Walk With Me 10/10.
Its my favourite Lynch film of all time by far.

What's to get? It's not the kind of film that tries to explain it's theory. Much like the butterfly effect, an interesting thing happens but the writer's are too stupid to explain it.

it's pretty good but their conversation gets boring at times. kind of too cliche in a way. too real. even though it's supposed to be like that, it had me shifting in my seat at times.

yes, it is human. humans make me cringe sometimes, especially the things they talk about. another reason why this movie had me moving around is because i'm not a big fan of ethan hawke. i always feel like i can see through his acting. this does not mean that i completely condemn the movie. i remember relating to the actors and have had similar experiences. but that's where another problem arises: i hate seeing myself in others. especially lame shit. this is the first time i've really thought about it (+ i saw the movie almost a year ago - a reason why this opinion is worth balls). i just felt writing out some pseudo nonsense as i have nothing better to do right now.

I can see where you're coming from. I just seem to like the things that you don't. Not Ethan Hawk of course, but seeing myself in others for instance. This is what my favorite movie is all about (Zerkalo).
