cinema-what have you seen lately?
I am currently watching Krzysztof Kieslowski's THE DECALOGUE. This takes dedication; it is 10 1 hour films. He is one of my favorite directors. His stuff is great.
I am a film fanatic. So what have you seen lately?

Transformers = Total awesomeness.
Pirates 3 = Awesome, but un-fulfilling ending Rented "The Island" 2 nights ago, not bad. It's another Michael Bay, pre-shakey-camera technique. ~YR

We've been on a theater boycott since 1998, but rent movies often.
If you haven't seen "Pan's Labyrinth" yet I highly recommend it. It's subtitled (Spanish), and one of the best films we've seen in a long time.

I do not go the theater except for the Magnolia and Angelika on occassion. These are some of my favorite foreign directors, I love subtitles! Rainer Werner Fassbinder Takashi Miike Krzysztof Kieslowski Pedro Almodóvar Werner Herzog I use Netflix these days. some of my favorite Americans would be John waters Jim Jarmusch Andy Warhol/Paul Morrissey Woody Allen H.G. Lewis and many many more

Saw Transformaers last nite, took the kids and splurged. I was glad too, that movie was the best I'd seen in some time. Of course, I only go out to the movies about once every six months or so. Only complaint: that gaggle of giggling teenage girls running back and forth, all through the first 20 mins or so. One of them actually fell on the floor at one point: I got the attendant and he silenced them. Upon leaving, they mouthed off behind us, but by then I had the post-movie shock going on and really didn't care

Harry Potter the new one that just came out was pretty good, I do have to say.

I've been crawling the web for Hitchcock movies... love Hitchcock. So far I've found Marnie & Dial M for Murder. Next quest is Rear Window (so far all the links are dead).

in the past 2 weeks i seen
transformers: it was ok. i wouldn't have cared for it if i wasn't such a big fan as a young kid. but nowhere near as good as i was hoping. acting was cheezy and the "transformation" from car/plane to robot left something to desire. wait for rental. pan's labyrinth: great movie. good acting and storyline. a must see. english substitles for all you non-spanish speakers! big nothing: good comedy. the ending was not to my liking' but i would recomend it to anyone. maria full of grace: a movie about humans being used a cocaine mules. what people go through and the life that it creates. good movie. 21 Grams: i have seen this movie about 4 times in the past year and it continues to get better. great acting by sean penn and benicio del toro. watch it. and last amores perros: spanish movie with english subtitles. combining 4 different stories from one plot, if you can deal with the subtitles, it'll be worth the time. |
