three extremes - 6/10. really let down by takeshi miikes
segment.
children of men - 9/10. the best film i have seen at the
cinema this year. its not been getting the best reviews but
it really struck a chord with me, especially the end, loved
the way you didnt know much about the larger story besides
what clive owens character experienced. its just a small
piece of a much bigger tapestry. so well directed as well, i
thought Cuaron was a good director before but this really
feels like him spreading his wings in terms of scope and
audacity. those long takes!! fucking hell i know there must
be edits somewhere but you cant see them and the results are
phenominal. thoroughly recommended.

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, one of the worst movies I've
ever seen. It had Raul Julia in it so I thought it might be
good, but I was wrong. Between this and Street Fighter, he
was involved in two of the worst movies ever. Cool.

nothing 1/5
terrible (everything). I gave it a 1 because the concept
could have been intereting.

The Departed - 8/10
Great story, moved quickly through the whole 2.5 hrs, though
some of the acting might have been a little better. Plus,
there was a whole love triangle thrown in for no good reason
that I could see... there was already enough tension to make
the story interesting without it. Great ending though, I
recomend it.

Glenn Gould Hereafter - 3.5/5

Not a definitive documentary on Glenn Gould, but more of a
cum inducing film for manic fans. A wet dream for Gould
enthusiasts that is mixed with archival footage as well as a
stand-in for Glenn in various scenes. I think this can be
only fully enjoyed by people who already are familiar with
this enigmatic musician. Not a good start for beginners,
perhaps.

The Departed - 4/5

Uneven in spots, including some stuff in the end, but still
immensely entertaining and well crafted. I like when
old-time directors put out new movies. Their movies always
stick out from the others, especially if they have always
been about the crafting of a good story visually and
script-wise. Also, some fine performances in this picture.
Nice.

Severance - 3/5. a film of classic funny dismemberfest genre
in which Troma's Decampitated leads. Also, there is a scene
where they eat a pie, that is very much like what has been
parodied in scary movie 2, he he.

recycle, grizzly man is one of the most stunning
documentaries I've seen... I wanted to like the electric car
documentary more, but it feels like made-for-TV production.
It raises good issues, however.

On another note, The Departed is currently #60 on imdb top
films list, which makes me wonder if remakes - however good
- should be banned by law. I'm sure it's a good ride, but
leave the East Asians alone, Hollywood!

hahaha
welcome back, dan!

death of a president - 2/5: it focused mostly on the events
of the assassination of bush and the investigation/trial in
the months following. it would have been more interesting if
they'd focussed on predictions about what the effects would
be on the national and international level, in the years
following. that way there would have been less 'interviews'
too, which i think is one of its negativs. the interviews
are hardly convincing. the actors don't give a convincing
display of being the 'real people' that were there while the
events were taking place. admittedly, it's probably
incredibly difficult to pull that off, and in some places it
almost does...but that's not enough for this concept to
work.

Yes I do, but I have never seen it. What I was trying to
say, and thought I made clear, was that when an "old-time
director" puts out a new movie (a movie they relatively just
finished making, not a re-release of one of their
"classics") it usually sticks out from everything else
because of a "movie generation gap" for lack of a better
phrase. Different techniques are imployed visually and story
wise, but usually visually. Take, for instance, the recent
Brian De Palma picture that came out. If, say, David Fincher
had directed it, it would look and "feel" different from
what De Palma produced. Younger directors will probably make
different movies than old ones even if they are the same
story. And, regardless of the story having already been
told, The Departed is still a new movie.

But, yes, you have single handedly made it known that the
original telling of this story is arguably better than
Scorsese's attempt at it. Golf claps all around for you.

It's not the first time a film from the far east has done
that to me. I guess it does sound a bit un-PC to say that,
but quite literally, I'm telling it like I see it.

I expect that somewhere in Korea right now there's a guy
sitting on his sofa watching some Hollywood movie and
thinking to himself, 'man, all these dudes look the same to
me'. In Korean though.

Actually our "racism" is more justified, since far eastern
people _do_ look more alike than, say, hollywood actors.
It's simple: they all have black/dark hair, they all have
pretty similar body types and so on. (PC = dead)

I never had such problems, though. I guess I can pick up
facial characteristics better?
