Thoughts on Jia Zhangke’s 24 City 對賈樟柯新電影《24城記》之隨想
Normally I prefer to write a straight up review, but in light of an unusual experience in watching film, I thought I’d make this a meta-review of sorts: I went to watch this film at Zhongshan park in Shanghai last … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: Jean-Luc Godard’s Band of Outsiders
Everyone knows that Godard is a bit of an acquired taste, and that no matter how much some cinephile effuses about the man’s genius, there are plenty of people that are going to find his movies unwatchable. This film, however, … Continue reading

Movies I’m Watching: The Reader
[spoiler alert] Kate Winslet, as well all know, has had a big year with Revolutionary Road and The Reader. Both are decent films that I really would like to cheer for, though they never seem to reach beyond the B+ … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: Outlander
I hadn’t really heard of this film prior to dling it, and i didnt have any high expectations from it. It’s based on a fantasy novel about a future man that travels back in time to Earth circa the 8th … Continue reading

Well, after taking a look at the blurb on the DVd cover and feeling in the mood for some black and white Nouvelle Vague classics, i decided to get this one…and was quite disappointed. The themes treated in the movie, … Continue reading
Movies I’m watching: Bill Maher’s Religulous

Movies I’m Watching: Three Monkeys
In case you didnt know it, this film is Turkey’s official entry for the 2009 Oscars. I’m just finished watching it, so I havent quite got around to digesting it fully. For the most part, the plot is quite simple, … Continue reading
Movies I’m watching: JCVD
I’ve been waiting for this film for a long time. It’s a film where Van Damme plays himself, or rather, a version of himself. There are plenty of things taken from his real life–his career as an action star, his … Continue reading
Movies I’m watching: Oliver Stone’s W.
Someone please tell me what the point of this movie is. If it’s meant to be satirical, which it is in spades, couldn’t it have been more LOL funny like SNL? If it’s meant to be some kind of historical … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: Slumdog Millionaire
This film just became the big winner at the Golden Globes, and why not? It’s a feel-good movie. I don’t see a lot of films from or about India, and so it was interesting in this regard, but something about … Continue reading
