Somehow that's my least favorite Satoshi Kon movie. Perhaps I'd have liked it more had I seen it before Inception. Even though Paprika came first, my familiarity with the basic concept robbed it of some of the essential novelty/bewilderment.

Ahh I felt the same way about Inception, but backwards! I found Inception very boring.

Awesome! It's very different from Miyazaki's work, but I think it's just as enjoyable.
Let me know what you think.

Sheer magic.

For some reason I thought you were talking about Ponyo?! I have seen Pom Poko and yes it was really good, festival scene is superbness. There's some creepy parts too (Raccoon impersonating human) differentiating this from other Ghibli's. Definitely one of the best.

Yea Castle Of Cagliostro was surprising, I didn't think the studio would produce something so good in the early beginnings (this being Miyazaki's directorial debut) and hit the ground running. I know they made things before this (although not as Ghibli) but i'm yet see any.

On Mayazaki, I watched Nausicaa and it's many random up-the-skirt shot scenes which just seemed weird and out of place. I mean, there's an animator sitting at his desk for hours on end drawing these perverted knicker shots to be included in this PG rated apparently innocent film. Although, maybe i'm just a massive racist towards animators because I've sat through the 4 hour long knicker-shot fest that is Love Exposure and felt no resentment: and i'm the real perv wanting live film shots. On Nausicaa though I thought it wasn't that well animated and looked bland (however, I think this was the point in this post-apocalyptic world) albeit through my unjudgeable post 8 hour bender eyes.

7.5/10

The acting leaves a lot to be desired almost all the way around. That said, this is one hell of an action blockbuster and well worth seeing if you've enjoyed any of the comic book movies, as this is one of the best in recent memory.

Naussica is an unfaithful adaptation of a comic book, which is weird that it would be an unfaithful adaption because the book is also by miyazaki. the book is a lot better than the film.

^I never knew, Thanks. I see the main protagonist is moderately dressed on the cover, one obviously musn't judge by the cover but still it's there: i'm guessing Miyazaki probably won't be commenting on it writing 'there she goes on her flying hovercraft dodging the monsters and bullets, incidentally wearing the whitest of knickers with not a blemish in sight bought from the latest Primark summer range'.

Seven volumes crammed into one 2 hour film seems overly ambitious and would start shedding light on why the film didn't work.

The film is more or less the first volume of the comic but with a different ending that makes less sense to the story overall than the one in the book.

THE GREAT BEAUTY

 


WOW. no, this photo doesn't really capture it. this photo has little to do with the movie. beautiful movie though. think of la dolce vita if marcello had more grace and charm and had stayed with the rich friends and had written the novel the never did. really, something else. makes america looks like the fucking wild west it still is.

speaking of the wild west i also saw

DALLAS BUYERS CLUB

 


SPOILER WARNING, OF A KIND…

great story and great performance, but was disappointed to learn that the real ron woodroof was actually bisexual not straight as depicted in the film. guess that's what it takes to make you eligible for an oscar. boo, hollywood, boo! but still great movie in many ways, don't let my spoiler ruin you, watch it.

SPOILER END

I saw this at an art museum and it got a standing ovation from it's older/intellectual crowd at the end. No small feat.
I fucking love this movie though, the second after I left the theater I preordered the Blu Ray, I've already watched it twice since getting it in the mail.

normally when i get something off netflix i'll be in a hurry to return it so i can get more stuff. this one i cannot part with-- i'm holding on to it and i'll be rewatching this week. i'm sure i'll be re-queing it soon after i send it back.

only thing i didn't get was the ramona storyline. yes, i got what happened and i saw the dad later but i didn't get jep's reaction afterwards or anything really. as if some footage had been cut maybe. puzzled me a bit. maybe i missed something (he does mention it, later, in a conversation with someone, but it's not the same.)

but anyway, fantastic stuff. the interview with the performance artist was superhilarious. everything was great, really. nothing was as expected-- i love that in a movie, the avoidance of cliches. with hollywood movies i can always tell you what's going to happen next. and what amazing camera work, hot damn.

i had never before heard of paolo sorrentino. now i have to watch everything he's done before-- which can't be as great as this, but still… and he's got a movie coming up, plus one segment in another.

Blitz - based on the Ken Bruen book. I always enjoy Jason Statham but he really seemed to be phoning it in with this one. Inspector Brandt by Bruen has a LOT of personality and Statham's has none.

One False Move - 1992 - Carl Franklin
The big names were not that big then, and have a bit deflated now: Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton (who cowrote the script).
That's a brilliant film noir, classically shot, with a well balanced story that blends perfectly the usual (the difference between an LA cop and a cop from a little town in Arkansas) and the not-so-usual-in-a-movie... The whole thing seems plausible, and all characters seem to be treated on par. A beauty.
