Given that I think Face/Off is one of the best (and smartest) action films of all time, I was so excited to pick this up in a video store in Asia. I had really good things about this film and it didn't disappoint. At first I was really surprised with some of his formal decisions but by the end of this film I was completely down with it. So good.

Hard Boiled, 1992:

I've been trying to watch films that are somewhat similar formally to the short I'm shooting this summer. So, this film was definitely on my list. This was the first time I was really watching with an eye for the directorial choices and it made appreciate this so much more. It's become less of a Day-Lewis film for me; P.T.A. is really controlling every aspect of this film.

There Will Be Blood, 2007:

Had more time to kill on the airplane so I watched this. Not much to say about it: nothing really goes on here. I haven't been this disinterested in a while. I also really am over Clooney (if I really liked him in the first place).

The American, 2010

I have two more legs of my flight so I'll probably watch a couple of the Jia Zhangke films I got in China.

Doco about Ayrton Senna. Nuff said. Told primarily through archive footage.

The life and times of Roger Corman. Producer of 396 films, all made on shoestring budgets. Nearly all of them commercially successful. Jack Nicholson got his start working on/in Corman's films. As did Martin Scorcese, Dennis Hopper, Ron Howard, Peter Fonda, and more...

Not what I was expecting at all, still pretty awesome. Coming-of-age apocalypse survival tale as a small group seeks refuge from zombie-like vampires and Christian fanatics.

Going to see this at an old renovated theatre that my dad went to growing up.

I don't know if it's because i've had some emotional moments lately or because I really like the man, but i cried at the end. /superconfessional

[Magsåvningsreserven]

created my own misfortune today, by watching the adjustment bureau (which is completely devoid of any dynamism) and the steaming pile of shit AKA Sucker Punch.

I'm a CC fanboy, but I've realised over the past few days that the Eclipse collection is an unquestionable treasure trove for film buffs. get on that.

Guess I'm about to watch the season finale of The Killing. I'm missing the season finale of Game of Thrones cuz my folks don't have HBO... ghey.

[weinfeld]

Watched this from Osaka to Alaska. Slowly, and without realizing out, Jia Zhangke has become one of favorite directors. I'm pretty impressed how he manages to tease out consistent themes in films that don't have the same plots at all. I started with his later work and have worked my way to the beginning. If anyone is looking for films with a slow but appropriate rhythm and a real sense of "place," check him out. Worth it.

Unknown Pleasures, 2002:

[bill]

last night

[daphneYOUfindME]

isn't that why they inveted the internet pal??

this movie looks spot on! on my list of films to watch post-exams

[Layne]

I'm assuming you meant invented here.

According to that Luke Wilson movie the internet was basically invented to mass-distribute porn. I dunno though, I was super drunk when I saw that thing.

Anyways, I pulled it up on Pirate Bay a while ago and the seed to leecher ratio was like 1:8.... that coupled with the shit internet pretty much secured I'll be watching it tomorrow.

[jackg]

sorry poor spelling from me! wait a couple of hours and the ratio will be better

and yes i have heard similar stories, using the internet to look up porn is still one of the main reasons for its use

Love this movie

[fanboy]

you just have to love Jörg Buttgereit

[bfan]

ending was kinda lacking the satisfaction I was expecting.

[weinfeld]

I was pleasantly surprised with this. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would given the advertising campaign. There are moments when I think the film becomes a little too kitschy but overall it's a solid, well directed film. Plus it's nice to see Ewan McGregor act in a role where he's kind of failure and learning. He's actually quite good. And I could look at Melanie Laurent all day.
