not that bad as I read. good acting. maybe the plot has some mistakes.

6/10

Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America - 8/10
3 great little shorts about madness and child abuse and other topics from the same director. The best short "Cutting Moments" has Power Rangers having doll sex, a girl who cuts her own lips off (and then her tits get cut off), gore by Tom Savini, and the main character looks like Steve Albini! Reccomended.


 

benny's video - 5/10

Guess I just don't like Haneke's movies. I've only seen a few now and they've all been interesting and seem to be going for something really mindblowing but they all end up going nowhere. This film's okay, probably the best I've seen by him, but it literally adds up to nothing but an obvious punch line... we're a culture desensitized by tv violence! How obvious. There's a scene in this where the main character watches the Toxic Avenger, which I wish I was doing instead of watching this.

 

thin blue line - 8/10
I remember seeing this when I was a kid and I recently revisited it after some discussion on the noise boards. I don't usually rate documentaries because I find them difficult to rate because my enjoyment of the subject matter covered in the documentary is going to affect how I rate it and how interesting I find the film and so on........, but this documentary in particular is one I think EVERYONE would enjoy. One of the most important documentaries ever.

There's definitely a lot more going on in that Annabel Chong movie. There are some emotional scenes with her coming out to her mom - lot's of self-justification. It's a really well put together documentary. Quite depressing.

demonrail666 02.04.2009 10:27 AM

Yeah, that really was an excellent doc. It sort of crossed over into the art house cinemas here. I think it might've even won some awards at places like Cannes. One of those really interesting documentaries that starts off being about one thing, and then ends up being about something far more interesting.

atsonicpark 02.04.2009 01:29 PM

Yeah, there's a lot going on in it but I was being quick and snappy.

^ I liked run fatboy run. A true feel good comedy.

afterthefact 02.04.2009 04:36 PM

Yeah, and it was better than most feel good comedies as well. Although, I have a thing for English accents, so that may be why.

Charlie's Angels, Pretty in Pink, & Thelma and Louise

I love Charlies Angels. Lucy is so hot.

Torn Curtain 02.04.2009 04:51 PM

Revolutionary road ("les noces rebelles" in French). Good, better than American Beauty in my opinion, a bit depressing though.

JIGOKU (aka "HELL") - 8/10 This film is awesome. A Japanese film from 1960 about Hell.

Derek 02.04.2009 04:59 PM

I was recommended a movie called Onibaba. You know anything about this movie ASP?

I picked up a Werner Herzog box set for cheap, so yesterday I (re-)watched



 


love it.

Before that it was The Deep End.
edit: Skolimowski's I mean... looks like there's another movie by that name



 



Also saw a documentary about Otomo Yoshihide in the cinema recently, Kikoe. It was pretty bad.
trailer here:

atsonicpark 02.04.2009 05:06 PM

Yeah, Onibaba is a classic film. Very ahead of its time. Worth seeing. Don't expect anything too insane and remember it was made nearly 50 years ago and you'll likely enjoy it. It drags a bit of course but that's to be expected...
AGUIRRE: WRATH OF GOD! One of the best films ever!!

gmku 02.04.2009 05:07 PM

& thank you, Rob, for the pix.

atsonicpark 02.04.2009 05:10 PM

Lucy Liu's alright. For an older Asian woman (40), she looks damn good actually.

YES! Great movie!

pokkeherrie 02.04.2009 05:12 PM

Indeed.
 


 

atsonicpark 02.04.2009 05:14 PM

I loved Aguirre and loved Heart of Glass and thought Fitzcaralldo was good (too long) and I enjoyed Dwarfs Started Small. What Herzog should I watch next?

MellySingsDoom 02.04.2009 05:17 PM

^^^Stroszek and The Engima Of Kaspar Hauser

pokkeherrie 02.04.2009 05:19 PM

Definitely Stroszek. The rest I'll let you know after I've finished the box set. :)

Yeah, I wouldn't check her ID at the bedroom door, for example.

'The Wrestler'

Surprisingly good.

^^nice one

atsonicpark 02.04.2009 06:40 PM

Yeah, Stalker is a masterpiece!

al shabbray 02.04.2009 06:48 PM

 


good

LifeDistortion 02.04.2009 08:28 PM

Yes I definately reccomed it. I had to rent it twice because the first copy Netflix sent me was badly scratched up, and I was like I have to see this movie I need to get another copy, and then they sent me another copy that played much better. The ending was rather confusing. But still a great film by any measure.

GeneticKiss 02.04.2009 09:00 PM

Everything Cowboy Bebop is awesome (except the last episode of the anime series)...
