Tried to watch Reservoir Dogs the other day. God its slow and boring. Had to turn it off. It is a good movie as i have seen it a few times before but you really need to be in the mood for it.
Whoa good find. I see enough of Lynch and Carpenter in there and I'm still missing another couple references.
That film really took me somewhere else, which is saying a lot for me. It reminded me of what a physics teacher told us about art decades ago when we were in high school. That it doesn't matter if you can't define art, if you look at something and it makes your mind tick and stirs your feelings, that's art.
I finally saw "Ink" last night. Have to say, brilliant movie. Certainly not for those who love 90mins of non stop action though. Much "slower" and mind bloggling I guess you could say. Very good. Enjoyed it.
Ah, thanks - I had heard it was part of a trilogy but I hadn't gotten around to finding the rest. Pretty good story overall.
Triangle - an intriguing sci-fi thriller; the only thing I'll give away is that no it's not a Bermuda Triangle related movie as the title might imply.
Micmacs à tire-larigot - an entertaining and warm-hearted tale by Jeunet (known for La cité des enfants perdus, Amélie, Delicatessen, etc), in terms of humor it's rather a combination of slapstick and referential sprinkled with puns this time and not so morbid as Delicatessen or La cité - however the premise is interesting and it's got it's dose of anti-establishment ranting.
Recently I have been watching (in no particular order)
The Jerk - "Stay away from the cans!!!" Steve Martins best film??? 8/10
City on Fire - So sad to see Chow Yun-Fat do movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean 3 when he has these types of movies on CV (Hard Boiled a good example) 9/10
Equilibrium - Sometimes style of content and plot works, not always...but sometimes it does 7.75951287/10
The Good, the Bad, the Weird - Korean take on The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with a bit of Mad Max thrown in for good messure. Has to be seen for full effect, might not be your thing but I enjoyed it 8+:wtf2:/10
the big horseback fight scene near the end is pretty awesomely done
one of the few action scenes ive ever enjoyed almost solely thanks to great cinematography
it has such an awesome old school no cgi nonsense feel to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLHlZ23TAlo#t=2m19s
