SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE - 8/10 One of the most visually amazing films ever. also rewatched antonioni's identification of a woman 9/10. One of his best, definitely his most underrated. Mindblowing film, just like all of his stuff (though I'm still not too big into Zabriskie Point -- does anyone really like that film? Not even the rare Fahey song on the soundtrack can get me excited!) |

I like Zabriskie Point, but I wouldn't say it's all that good. It's only really notable for the final explosion scene. I do enjoy watching it though. It's a nice film just to drift along with.

i loved it. even though i wish i had seen it when i wasn't sure whether it was a hoax or not, i still think its fairly inventive for a 'mockumentary'

Christmas eve/day roundup:
Now this has to be one of the most underrated films I've ever seen. It's just as fun as Escape from New York, and the fact that is a remake BUT relocated to Los Angeles makes so much difference. Carpenter really nailed all those mocking references to Hollywood (the cirurgical failures, the greedy no-matter-who-I-represent-as-long-as-I-make-some-money agent Map of the Stars Eddie, etc) and the political satire on that fucking brilliant last scene. Great, as pretty much all Terrence Malick films I've seen, just like this next one... ...which is probably my new favorite war film of all time. Masterpiece. And THOSE landscapes, damn! Well, Peter Sellers is a comedy god, so, non-stop laughing from start to finish. |

Haha. I'll admit that The Gospel was a selfconscious choice but it wasn't until a few minutes in that I realised what a perfect Christmas Eve film Amarcord is. La Dolce Vita definitely works for Boxing Day, too.
Anyway, just watched... Somewhere. 4/10 Somewhere in its 95 minutes was a film, I think. |

The Expendables, worst "action" movie ever. AWFUL script, not even a single funny scene.
The A-Team : much better than I expected, a bunch of really good scenes (for this kind of movies). Is the USA "let the right one in" remake kinda interesting?

I liked it for the most part, but the ending was disappointing. |

The Passion of the Christ. 7/10 Sort of brilliant in the same way that Mel Gibson is sort of brilliant. |

___"Tron"
I went for the effects, but the suits looked like flourscent light bulbs, and my eyes hurt a bit. overall the effects were cool. |

i never got too into "the holy mountain" tbh. it's just a little too over-the-top and corny at times. i mean, i guess that's the point, but the whole scene with the alchemist introducing those seven figures...urgh. "WE MAKE WAR TOIZ!" go stay on a GY!BE album, you prick.
i think "fando y lis" is much better. "el topo" is a top ten all-time film for me. i still really need to see "santa sengre." |
