I love Tati's films. Have you had a chance to watch the new Chomet/Tati film The Illusionist?
Last night I went to a theater to watch I Saw the Devil by Kim Jee-woon. Very entertaining thriller and very violent. I loved it. Check it out if you have the chance.
Just watched Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen... please don't ask me why, I really couldn't give you a good answer... I don't understand why they let Michael Bay make movies. Making anything this bad out of so much money should be considered criminal.
But then again, lots of people actually seem to like these movies, wich leaves me a little worried for humanity's sake.
I mean, c'mon, in the movie the pyramids of Giza are located at the tip of the red sea, when they really are by the Nile... Just for the sake of som arbetrary riddle.
It all makes me so very, very sad
"This is our birthplace though, this is what we deserted long ago. This is where we used to live, on balls of dust and rock like this. This is our hometown from before we felt the itch of wanderlust, the sticks we inhabited before we ran away from home, the cradle where we were infected with the crazy breath of the place's vastness like a metal wind inside our love-struck heads; just stumbled on the scale of whats around and tripped out drunk on starlike possibilities."
Once you learn to spot a catchpenny title you will not only save money but will have the satisfaction of not having contributed to the propagation of rubbish. Entertainment is like wine, the flashier the label the poorer the quality.

Well I can honestly say I wouldn't have spent any money to see it, I was hanging out with a couple of friends, who aren't eaxactly picky about what they watch, to say the least. And thus they put it on, and well, it's not like I'm not gonna be with my buddies just because they have some unfortunate tastes in... Well everything really, but that's another matter.

After the Thin Man - Nick and Nora are in New York and Nora's cousin asks them to for her missing husband. Nick Charles investigates as only he can. Fun movie. 8.75/10

Eyes Without a Face by Georges Franju. Classic horror. Great creepiness and gore.
I watched some Kenneth Anger shorts last night. I haven't seen much yet but so far I'm not a huge fan. Though the fact that some of his movies feel like they were made 30 years after they were is pretty interesting. That said, Eaux D'Artifice is pretty awesome. That kind of movie can get me to like Kenneth Anger.
Are all the movies you guys watch art films?
For me, mostly art films and horror.
Just watched Sling Blade for the umpteenth time. Definitely in my top 10. Brilliant film. 10/10

Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky.
Very strange movie. French with english subtitles, but the manuscript consisted of little speaking. I loved it, though. Instead of conversation to convey emotions, it used classical music. Powerful. But not altogether life-altering.
Could you say who played the lead roles?

A play named, The Anti-Shakespearean Cocktail Hour.
Before sunlight can shine through a window, the blinds must be raised - American Proverb
The Lincoln Lawyer.
I must admit, this was a pretty good movie. I never read the book so I can't compare it, but it was nicely done.
Plus, Matthew Mcconaughey and Ryan Phillipe? Yes, please.
9/10.
