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: 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: Burn After Reading
You half-know what to expect, stylistically, from a movie like this: a liberal dollop of Coen Brothers’ dry humor, dripping down a seemingly (but not actually) complicated plot. I personally thought that the characters were funny, especially Brad Pitt and … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: Larisa Shepitko’s The Ascent
Brilliant. One of the most masterful of war films I have ever seen. The Russians have a singular flair and talent for war films–I mean this black and white, grainy dramas where humanity is thrown back upon itself. In the … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: Les Valseuses
I actually watched this a couple of weeks ago but never got the chance to write about it: There’s a Channel4.com review which sums it up nicely: For Blier, the surreal agent provocateur who would make a career out of … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: X Files: I want to believe
I was never a huge fan of the X-files series but I was quite looking forward to this movie ever since I first saw the previews when at a movie theater in Paris. I just got the DVD in Shanghai … Continue reading
Beijing Olympics spoof movie posters
Netease has a bunch of spoof movie posters featuring Chinese Olympic athletes. You can vote for the ones that you like. Here are some of the ones that I liked or thought were nominally interesting, featuring Yao Ming, Liu Xiang … Continue reading
A picture of Wong Kar-wai at Tony Leung/Carina Lau wedding–WITHOUT SHADES
This is the first time that I have ever seen Wong Kar-wai without his trademark sunglasses. I never realized his face was so big; evidently the shades he wears occupy a good part of his face. He was in Bhutan … Continue reading
Gus Van Sant’s “Paranoid Park”
I don’t think I know enough about Van Sant’s ouevre to really say anything about him, but I do know that he’s gay and that as an auteur, his commercial films from “Finding Forrester” to “Good Will Hunting” and the … Continue reading
