Apocalypto - silly and brutal but I thought it got better toward the end. great shot when he pulls himself outta the quicksandZak and Miri Make a Porno - ugh Kevin Smith. still had some lolsI Love You Man - funny at first, overall pretty lame

dave, taking shelter in a fridge and teen horniness are NOT crimes. (i basically agree on ST tho)

had you seen Slacker before? love that movie
Southland Tales, I just had to see it for myself. wtf was up with The Rock twiddling his fingers for a solid hour and a half. yeesh.
― dmr, Monday, 6 April 2009 18:34 (1 year ago) Permalink
I didn't think the Rock and Buffy sounded like they'd ever acted before. loooved S Wm Scott tho (both of em)
I probably hadnt seen Slacker since '91; I rewatched before going to Austin (but most of the locations are gone, tho KJB showed me a couple).

Loved the dudes who listened to the seal noises through the ice in Encounters at the End of the World.
Favorite movie I've watched in the past month or so was probably OFFSIDE.

met a load of guys who'd spent time at mcmurdo at a conference. there's a lot of cosmology/astroparticle stuff going on down there these days. they all loved the herzog film (and big dead place)

From the DVD set. I've only watched the Video Works disc so far but the amount of creativity crammed into every minute is just staggering.

for people who liked Black Rain here's a hi-res .mov of 'Brilliant Noise', their video edited from direct captures of solar flares. you really don't want to waste your time watching it on youtube:

Ruth & Joe made it on residency at Lawrence Berkeley Labs and at first the guys running the archives of sun footage said 'you don't want the raw video, this server has the same data with all the static and noise cleaned out of it' and they had to yell about five times 'no, we -want- that interference'

Vampire's Kiss (I needed to see a good Nic Cage film again, and this one really holds up, it is the real American Psycho)The Most Important Thing... Love (expectations were high, as so many people rank this as the best Zulawaski... it is certainly the most restrained & sedate Zulawski... Klaus Kinski as independently wealthy actor ripping up Macbeth was amazing, and I never understood Romy Schneider adoration before but she's pretty remarkable in this one... need to see this again I think)Please Vote For Me - http://pleasevoteforme.org/about.htmlEncounters at the End of the WorldHands on a Hard Body (as existential as it gets, this one)

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - High Fidelity + Juno + After Hours? guessing a lot of you would hate this but I thought it was pretty fun. although Cera is so deadpan he's barely alive. I lol'd when they went to Union Pool, my wife was checking for any possible hipster grifter cameos

08 lol oscar catch up:
the wrestler - aronofsky finally made a decent movie hey I'm as surprised as you are
slumdog millionaire - entertaining ya but made me wonder who exactly was slumming here
family fun:
encounters at the end of the world - my 8 yo son loved it, turning grade schoolers on to herzog is such a kick
earth - safari tour guide piffle for the most part, but some stunning sequences like the slo-mo near-romantic clinches of hunter + hunted
battle for terra - what wall-e did for american gluttony, battle for terra does for american mililtary aggression... all in all a pretty big bummer for a summer kids movie, no wonder it's already on its way out of theaters, it is worth seeing tho
bookends of hyperviolent gaul horror trend:
trouble every day - I have a soft spot for dis weirdo vincent gallo/beatrice dalle vampire art flick from 2001, and it was interesting to see it again now that blood-drenched french babes are practically a cinematic trope
martyrs - the latest in stylish torture porn, except this one effectively explodes the genre... I can guarantee you will not see where it is going, when it got there I was agog at its smarts + brio

did you watch the Planet Earth series? trailer makes this movie look like the same Planet Earth footage repackaged into a feature but I wasn't sure
― dmr, Monday, 11 May 2009 20:40 (1 year ago) Permalink
i.e. I know it's "from the makers of Planet Earth" or whatev but some of the stuff in the trailer looked real familiar, wasn't sure whether Earth was worth seeing

yeah afaik earth is just repackaged planet earth footage

Earth - is the BBC series' footage completely reedited by Disney. I went thinking it'd be just good to see the images on a big screen, and it would have been if the narration / new disney music weren't so boneheaded & condescending as to make me want to start yelling back at the screen
Star Trek - i.e. mother's day
Aliens vs. Monsters IMAX 3D - really enjoyed this, it's all about insectasaurous. not sure if I'd recommend this for home viewing, but the uncanny valley is spookier than ever in 3D
Fear of Fear - good Fassbinder. is this the only one where he let Margit Carstensen look beautiful instead of like a cancer patient? great film about how people easily mistake the mentally ill for being selfish / lazy
Nightwatching - Peter Greenaway 2007 is a little on the normal side, I guess that's why I never even heard of this, Martin Freeman (Tim from the Office) as Rembrandt seems like it'd be too tame but he's actually an incredible actor

my impressions may have been gilded from watching it w/ the kids but subversive peacenik themes and some weirdly poetic moments (giant meowling sky whale) stuck w/ me
