Antichrist (2009). My god, that was one of the most beautifully shot movies ever. The use of focus and aggressive or unorthodox panning were sublime. The scenes themselves were splendidly crafted, with appropriate use of violence, gore, and sex. The symbolisms worked to convey the sense of psychosis that we each harbor and keep stuffed down. The story was solid, but the way in which it was told made it compelling. The acting-superb! And of course the direction was wonderful. A compelling and moving flick that has little company in the category of beautifully disturbing. Mercie beaucoup.

Hated all the characters so I just couldn't get into this one. The scene with the outboard motor was cool but apart from that I thought this was just average. |

Shirley Jackson's The Lottery meets The Stepford Wives. After 20 minutes you have the whole thing figured out. There are no surprizes, and no reason to watch the next 80 minutes. |

I got it from my local video store, I think it said uncut or directors cut,but yes it was an Australian release. I returned it this morning, it's dollar day!!!! wooo hooo!!!!! What version should I see? American swing A fucking crap doco on plaitos the American swing club, just shot in typical American doco style with no substance at all. There were a few nice asses hanging about in the air, but that was the only highlight. 3/10 |
The Jacket (2005). A solid entry that defies a genre, The Jacket is not to be pidgeon-holed. The DVD cover description kept me from watching this for way too long. The story itself may have a couple of holes, but this only serves to allow for more interpretations. The acting was solid, with great performances by Adien Brody, Keira Knightlely, Daniel Craig and company. In one sense, it is a combo of movies already done, but the direction makes it a fresh entry. This will prove to be a moving experience with a timeline that is both refreshing and competent. Ashe.

Patton (1970)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...px-Patton1.jpg Wow! George C. Scott gives one of the finest & electrifying performances as the larger-than-life Patton. Also salute to Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North for the brilliant script. >>: A Odd Man Out (1947) http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1917/oddmanout.jpg Carol Reed's another flawless piece of cinematic achievement in almost every area. Excellent cast (even in small roles) & stunning cinematography made it absolute gem of a film that stands up well today, and is definitely a highlight of not just the year it was released, but that whole 'film noir' decade as a whole. To some extent I even think, it's superior to The Third Man. >>: A A Cold Night's Death (1973) Scientists Culp and Wallach suspect that there is someone other than their research primates inhabiting their polar station. An excellent TV movie from ABC. The bleak snowbound atmosphere and palpable anxiety between the two characters seems to be familiar with John Carpenter's THE THING, but here the action is almost exclusively psychological and there's nothing and nobody around to break the formidable tension. It's really astonishing how much is done with so little in this gem, just two men slowly unraveling a chilling mystery in a creepy research station. >>: A- When Night Falls (2007) http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/8...nightfalls.jpg A slow burn low budget suspense thriller from New Zealand. Not bad. >>: C+ |
