Haha, right on, I'd like to see that version!

The Fall

Tarsem Singh totally redeems himself for the disaster that was The Cell in this epic fairy-tale that hits the perfect balence between childhood innocence, magic realism and the pain of real life. Anyone who loved Pan's Labyrinth or Terry Gilliam's underrated Tideland will dig this visually stunning work of art.

Bought that one recently, but haven't watched it.

I really liked the visuals in The Cell, even if the script was really weak. Very anxious to see what else this guy has up his sleeve.

Yesterday I watched WALL·E

And. Wow.

Beautiful. Stunning. Touching.

To tell you the truth, when I heard that there was minimal writing and voicework, I was concerned that I'd be bored... But far from it.

I fully agree with The Penguin:

5/5 See it.

No Man's Land

A great satire war movie with a sad & fascinating ending as well as very symbolic to the global perspective. Recommended to everyone whoever haven't seen this beautiful, ingenious piece of work.

The Nines

This one really surprised me - the plots are great, the lead actors all do an amazing job (especially considering most of them play 3 totally different parts), and the ending really gives you a lot to think about.

It's not very linear, but if you like movies that you have to put some thought into...you really should pick this up.

Neighbors

If you like quirky well written comedies this will be right up you alley. Its a shame Belushi was taken from us so soon as this flick shows the versitility of comedic style. Initally panned by critics and fans alike (people were expecting another Blues Brothers I guess) this is a film that deserves to be revisited because it was well ahead of its time IMO.
Really sharp satire of the "white picket fence" culture delivered by a strong cast and beautifully shot by John G. Avildsen this flick is a winner.

The R4 DVD I watched is a bare bones release which was a bit disappointing as I would've like to have seen some insights of what went on behind the scenes to pull it all together.

Wristcutters: A Love Story

A whimsically profound story that takes place in a purgatory world where suicides live. What would a world be like that was inhabited only by people who had comitted suicide? It's a pretty funny world, actually- even if nobody ever smiles. This is the driest dark comedy I've ever seen, and the three leads who find themselves on a road trip in this world, each for their own reasons, travelling in a rundown car with a black hole in the floor, are perfectly cast. I particularly enjoyed Eugene, a young musician of Russian ancestry who comitted suicide by pouring beer onto his electric guitar and electrocuting himself.

Tom Waits turns up, as does the guy who played Jerry on ER, and the lead of that awful Fearnet movie Catacombs. Turns out she can really act.

One of the best and most varied assembled soundtracks I've come across, with music by Tom Waits, Artie Shaw, Gram Parsons, Screaming Lord Sutch, Del Shannon, Joe Meek and a trio of tunes by Gogol Bordello, a post-modern Balkan cabaret outfit that add immeasurably to the atmosphere.

Watch this if you get a chance.

Brand Upon the Brain! (2006)

Wow. This blew me away. What a wonderful, crazy, hyper-kinetic ode to the confusion and mess of childhood. Guy Maddin pulls a lot of inspiration from horror of the 20s and 30s.

It's quite out there, but I highly, highly recommend it.

Revolutionary Road (2008)

I have a review up in "Last Seen". Not for a long time have I actually *felt* a movie. This film is absolutely real, and parts of it had me literally feeling nauseous. Not an easy film to watch, but an important one. DiCaprio and Winslet have never been better.
