Baraka.
Anyone ever see this? It tells it's story through visuals and music. Pretty amazing stuff. Beautiful and at times very disturbing.

Don't you hate how celebrity nudity is always at the beginning of their careers and wehn you see it its not as cool because they don't look as glamorous as they do today. Example: Kate Beckinsdale, Angelina Jolie (although thats been e-rectified *snigger*) and a bunch of others I can't think of now.

It was the first time I saw Katrin Cartlidge in a film, she was incredible. I was shocked to read she has died two years ago.

The begining of taking lives is promising but it turns into standard hollywood fodder. The ending smacks of turd...iness. Any film that shows of angelina jolies breasts (for no reason) is atleast ok, in my book.

I have recently aquired ten free cinema tickets that I have to use up by the end of this month. The Odean they are valid in doesn't show much so my choice has been limited. So far I have seen, Taking Lives (OK), Secret Window (OK-ish, at best), Shaun Of The Dead (OK), Kill Bill 2 (good), Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (FANTASTIC!!!). I also recently saw Scarface for the first time and was impressed. Not as good as Goodfellas or Godfather IMO but has Pacino's best performance (that I have seen).

I felt the same. To many long stares into the distance. Brian Cox was alright but Peter o Toole, what a joke. Sean Beans introduction is great they all have similarish accents then Sean Bean walks in "by eck!", well not really. It made me want people not to die and stuff it brought out an emotion in me which can never be bad. I was sweating it when hector is fighting achilles. Entertaining. You can ask for nothing more, Does what it says on the tin.

saw troy last night. first reaction? 2 1/2 out of 4. but now, the more i consider the sucker, the less i like it. way over the top sometimes. brian cox as aggamemnon was horrible. bad dialouge, some bad acting, they fucked with the story, but worst of all was the music. the music was absolutely wretched. right now i'm feeling gladiator was better, and i though gladiator wasn't too hot.
there was some very good stuff, though. Achilles v. Hector was a hoot. Fireball attack was incredible. Never seen anything like that before. but i'm kind of getting sick those huge epic shots of thousands of soldiers on a battlefield, a la LOTR. its the new bullet time.

The Tomb Raider movie was also so stupid that it was hilarious. Has anyone else saw Sympathy for the Devil? It's a set of political shorts set to the Stones song with clips of them in the studio recording the cut. It's by Jean Luc Godard. It was a pretty fun watch and it only cost me a few dollars.

I was just being stupid with that last post. I don't hate foreign films and by that I mean Japanese or arty farty films from belgium and such. But people always go on about them and as much as I'd like to watch them I never can be bothered. Non English speaking films that I've seen.
Run lola run , battle royale, dead or alive
I enjoyed all of them. Also I deteste english films. Theres nothing fun about seeing the street were I live (or one that looks like it) at all. So basically I watch american films, my dvd collection currently consists of:
Pulp Fiction SE
Evil Dead 2 (?)
Robocop
Goodfellas (?)
Naked Gun 1 and 2
La Confidential
Memento
Narc
Magnolia
The Pledge
Die Hard 3
O Brother Where Art Thou
I like to buy films which I really enjoy the ones with ?'s next to them were bought out of interest rather than me loving them.

My friends said the same thing a Lost in La Mancha, how it depressed them not being able to see the finished film. Has anyone seen Zatôichi. I missed it in the cinema, my friends said that it was great. I really love Beat Takeshi (Fireworks is one of my favorite films). I heard him in an interveiw recently saying how people went to see Kill Bill as a joke in Japan and how Zatôichi is the real deal, personally I enjoyed Kill Bill Vol.1 & 2 .

That was an amazing movie. floop would probably love it. All about Terry Gilliam trying to make a movie of "Don Quixote" over the course of 10 years, and failing spectacularly. The same dark and weird path Orson Welles travelled.
i saw it in the theatre when it came out. it was great, but painful to watch.
the one thing i walked away from that film feeling, more than anything else, is that Terry Gilliam is just a fucking amazingly cool guy. no matter how shitty and impossible things got, he didn't dwell and let his frustration get the better of him. just kept pressing on (until he literally could not any longer).. super creative guy and loyal to his crew.
i hope he gets to make it eventually. |

No. It just opened on friday in New York and LA, having shown at the tribeca film festival the week before. I caught it at landmark sunshine on houston in ny saturday.
It should be hitting the art house circuit in a couple weeks. I know its playing at the cinema arts centre on Long island early next month. hopefully, it'll play somewhere near you.

Lost in La Mancha was so bittersweet. You get a fairly clear vision of how The Man Who Killed Don Quixote would have turned out, and it looked excellent. I actually got excited about that movie as I watched this 'non-making of', and then became severly bummed when I realized I'd never get to see it because it never actually got made.

I recently saw Lost in La Mancha. I was hoping for more, I think.
Other cool documentaries I have recently seen are, "American movie" and "Stevie". If you've never seen these, you should.
