Breaking Bad was great last night.

7.5/10
Does anyone play sleaze better than james woods

That film and Bully are the only ones I ever HALF WAY like by that director.

The only other movie I've seen by him is Wassup Rockers, and I really liked it, so I'll probably be checking out bullly. Some cheesy acting aside, I thought another day in paradise was fucking great

I find him really boring and dull. I just don't understand the appeal. I think Ken Park is in the bottom 10 worst films I've ever seen. Just seems like another dude referencing Jost and Godard in a poor way. Seems to be in the same boat as Van Sant but not as talented, in direction or storytelling. He also sometimes reminds me of Gregg Araki -- in fact, he downright rips off Araki but puts a more mainstream spin on his works... Araki's films are just mindblowing, consistently. Also, obviously linked to Korine, but not as imaginative or smart. I think Korine actually said that about Larry Clark... (and I'm no Korine worshipper, believe me) "He's an okay photographer but an idiotic director." That's the vibe I get from him too. His films just communicate nothing. I dunno... I thought Whassup Rockers was annoying, and Kids is just SHIT.

Glad you like him though man.. ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE is entertaining enough, and BULLY is... well... unlikeable but compelling, in the "cool! It's a true story! Wow!" kinda way.

nyway..

Over the past 4 days..


deadlock - 8/10


rocknrolla - 3/10

Ritchie sucks. This will be the last film I ever watch by him. A completely empty film.


White Star - 8/10


double life of veronique - 8/10

Most beautiful film I've ever seen.

red - 8/10


White - 8/10


A Short Film About Killing - 8/10

A Short Film About Love - 8/10

Clean - 7/10

Maggie Cheung is AWESOME.


EROS - 5/10

Somewhat predictably, Antonioni's segment is confused with flashes of brilliance.. Wong Kar Wai's segment is stylish enough to be entertaining even though he just seems to want to be the new Godard... and Sodbergh's segment just kinda sucks.

That Kieslowski guy is a fucking genius. I have like 4 more films to watch by him. I really can't believe how good he is.

this weekend.


9/10 a fairy tale for kids but it was very cool.


not quite what I epxected. much more of a dark comedy than a goofy flick,.
7/10. had some funny stufff

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
...I usually watch it this time of year. It's amazing to me that Tobe Hooper was able to make such a perfect film, and then go on to forge a career with film after film that seems desperate to prove to the audience that TCM was just dumb luck and that he's not even a pretty good director.

Del Toro quits on HOBBIT

I know you and I have different tastes, but come on. Empty? I grant you that once you've seen one Guy Ritchie film you've seen them all, but if one can do one thing very well, it's better than doing a whole bunch of things sorta OK...

I forgot he was directing and I was confused and thinking of Benicio.

Are they related?

Guy Ritchie sux.

gullermo is mexican . benicio is Puerto Rican.

I'm not surprised he quit. Six years shooting a two part movie? Fuck that. It took Ridley Scott just 6 weeks to shoot Kingdom of Heaven.

you've seen his dekalog, yes?

people scream when they see MY dekalog
