"The Wave" - 9/10
Reminds me why i like german cinema so much!
Through the darkness of future past
the magician longs to see
one chance out between two worlds
'Fire walk with me.'
Twin Peaks
Iron Man - 8.5/10, very entertaining. I've always liked that Robert Downey Jr..
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
The Duchess - Pretty boring, I kept waiting for something to happen to warrant making a whole movies about this woman but nothing did, 6.5/10
Ghost Town - Funny in parts but it was the same old "I see dead people and they want me to help them" movie, 7/10.
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
The Orphanage - 10/10 Excellent.
Sad and moving, great acting, setting, story etc. Some really tense moments, but not in a schlock horror way. I believe that Hollywood may have bought the story for a remake....NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!![]()
The Curious Incident of Benjamin Button.
There was almost no advertising for it, I imagine because it's potential publicity was raped by Twilight.
Which is crazy, because Ben Button was brilliant! Plus it had big names, Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett. It was beautifully done, it made me really want to read the book(It was based on something by Fitzgerald). A couple of quarrels, though - It was a little drawn out at the start, which kind of undermined the intensity of the romance, and Brad Pitt couldn't quite sustain the character- Pitt can act that suave confident character very well, but it didn't quite suit Ben Button.
7/10
The day the earth stood still. 8/10. Keanu Reeves acting style really suited this movie. The movie has something to say about the human race and the way we treat the plant and each other. It is really worth seeing and the bonus of course is Keanu Reeves.
Man On Wire --- documentary about French guy who walked across a tightrope strung across the World Trade Center towers. Great flick.
Also, Exterminating Angels, a French film. If you don't like nudity and that, don't watch it, or it you do and you like it happy you.![]()
"He was nauseous with regret when he saw her face again, and when, as of yore, he pleaded and begged at her knees for the joy of her being. She understood Neal; she stroked his hair; she knew he was mad."
---Jack Kerouac, On The Road: The Original Scroll
Eyes wide shut -- 9/10. It was an amazing film, but the first hour or so was very slow and tedious.
Natural Born Killers -- 7.5/10. Generally, it was a good satire, but I felt like I was being hit over the head too many times with the message. Not much subtlety or technique apparent.
Jackie Brown -- 9.5/10. Quentin Tarantino is the only director who can make a really good action/thriller movie that's over-the-top, yet believable. Every scene was entertaining and suspenseful, as all action flicks should be.
Death Race -- 3/10. Not much to say. No character development evident, and the action was so generic.
The pilot film of "The battlestar gallactica" series and it was great![]()

Doctor Zhivago - 8/10
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
Twilight. I give it a 7/10. Not a bad movie. Just not excellent.
