I'm a bit of an Anger fanboy but would definitely say SR and Invocation of My Demon Brother are my favourites - and easily two of my favourite films, period. But yeah, the whole Magick Lantern Cycle is awesome. Also agree about Anger's commentary on the DVD. I'm sure 90% of what he says is pure self-mythology but he's a born entertainer, and I love the way he's increasingly become a kind of ghost of old Hollywood. If I do have any heroes, Anger's definitely one of them. ![]() |

Nobody here has seen "The Dark Knight Rises" yet? Who's going to be the first?

Watched Batman Begins for the first time since I saw it in theaters last night. Watched The Dark Knight for the first time EVER immediately after.
My thoughts... Batman Begins - I've gotta say, I love how this movie starts out. And by that I don't mean I enjoyed the first act, actually I found it to be pretty painful to sit through until Bruce Wayne officially became Batman. But alas - no, I actually LOVED the very opening shot of the film. It's perfect! I think with this film, I finally understand why some people dig Nolan so much (I really liked Insomnia too, but I haven't seen it recently). Either he or his DP really know how to frame shots, but I don't think his style works so much in this flick when there are quick edits made. Those actually came across as pretty sloppy to me, this film's strength from a technical standpoint were the very slow shots. Which is sad, because that exact tip-toe pacing is what caused me to scoff more than I should have at the flick. It's a bit heavy-handed, don't ya think? Lots of talk, very little action. Even less interesting action. It was alright I guess, I can see why nobody really mentions this movie anymore. Especially after I watched... The Dark Knight - A masterpiece. I'm actually surprised I enjoyed it so much. I've dreaded finally watching this film for years now. Just thinking of this film used to give me nightmares of greasy, black "WHY SO SERIOUS" t-shirts with stretched-out collars. I still don't quite get that obsession, that line wasn't even one of the coolest parts of the movie. What I did like was how natural this film felt. Did they film this on a RED? It looks fantastic! Also there was a very good attention paid in the sound editing, the music was sparse, lining a realistic tone within many key action scenes. You really have to appreciate a director, cast, and crew that can make a story this wild seem plausible. Especially with Harvey Dent in the picture (oh man, was I stoked to see him, I had no idea he'd show up in this film!) My editing qualms from Batman Begins were also nulled. The cuts were superb, each tightly-wound action sequence melted like butter. Not sure if it's a different editor, or the last guy just learned to differentiate between cuts more - but either way, I couldn't get enough! So yeah, I really liked this movie. It was outrageous, enthralling, action-packed, and surprisingly believable. Everything I wished Batman Begins would be while I was watching it. I still think I enjoyed the Avengers more. Or even Spider-man 2 if I'm being honest with myself. But this def. ranks up there - I'm just a Whedon/Marvel fanboy at heart. Will still try and catch a showing of TDKR on Monday. Hopefully it comes anywhere near TDK. |

cool to see people here enjoy TDKR.
i thought it obviously wasn't going to be on par with the last one, but i still expect it to be good anyway. |

Holy Motors.
Denis Lavant is really great, the film has quite funny moments, accessible to everyone. Quite laid-back, with fine fine moments (the father, the Gérard Manset scene)... |

![]() i have despised this woman in the past because she was mousy and lame, but DAMN!!! she's grown up magnificently! bravo, ma'am. you're my favorite character in that movie. HOTTTTTT. and yes the dark night rises was good. the first half perhaps a bit slow, but it picks up steam pretty good and it satisfies. even in spite of some cheesy moments. and technically, it was fucking great. i still liked avengers more though. yeah. joss whedon > nolan. |

Rewatched Hana-Bi. Beat = kami-sama.
![]() Another addition to my Kitano films that I have enjoyed every second. Along with... Kikujiro ![]() Kitano is best thing to happen to the world of film. Heartfelt, compassion, and unique in every facet. |
