Just finished watching “Wild At Heart” …
Just finished watching “Wild At Heart”. The Lynchian world is a strange one indeed. The characters are all caricatures. but the ones that are somehow most interesting are the bit roles that often don’t even have lines: the weird characters … Continue reading
Desultory thoughts on why I didn’t like Slumdog Millionaire
For one, it comes a little too close to the voyeurism of “slum tours” to me. Of course, I myself am a bit torn about this since photojournalism and documentary photography, crudely put, often partake in this kind of dynamic. … 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
Movies I’m Watching: Paris Nous Appartient
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: 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: The Wrestler
I’m glad that Mickey Rourke won a Golden Globe for his performance in The Wrestler, because although the movie tends to be fairly predictable overall, this was one of the most honest performances I’ve seen in a while. Now everyone … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching:Defiance
This is one of the few Daniel Craig movies that didn’t immediately ratchet my inferiority complex up to a new level. The movie stars Craig and Liev Schreiber as Jewish brothers living in Byelorussia during the time of the Nazis. … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
I’d heard a lot about this one before actually watching it. It wasn’t a bad movie, all in all, but there wasn’t anything particularly moving about it. It’s based off a F. Scott Fitzgerald movie, which explains some of the … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching：Doubt
I think i read the play a number of years ago … it was good but didn’t leave a huge impression on me. The movie retains that “theatrical” feeling in the way that it’s staged, in the particular rhythm of … Continue reading
Movies I’m Watching:It’s a Free World
I’ve always like Ken Loach movies because i’m a lefty symp and a sucker for women with British accents. The last one I saw from him was, if memory serves, My Name is Joe, i know that he’s done a … Continue reading
