MOVIES!

peau d'ane is also hilarious. wtf at the helicopter at the end???

The Passenger

the invasion--worst movie i've seen in a long time

The Lookout (good to excellent)

SUNSHINE, which I really liked despite the retarded survival-horror monster-movie subplot

birth - so awes how come no one see
the ten - so awes too
shooter - so absurd how come plot no try to even make any sense

monterey pop -- felt like i'd seen this since i'd seen so many clips from it, but cumulative effect was more than i expected. the ravi shankar jam at the end really builds to ecstatic payoff. best concert film ever?

Breach - chris cooper always good ... kinda boring tho

Two Weeks in Another Town
If....

born yesterday
you're gonna miss me
brothers of the head
this is england
the motel
superbad
be here to love me

WAHTS BOOOORING? WHAT?

in that scene, they're about to have a race into the sunlight because they're young and quirky like that.

"a party deep in the heart of Brooklyn"

i saw the ten @ sunshine last week and every preview was for some twee ass indie romance that no one could possibly care abt

so much more conventional than say yr typical hollywood blockbuster

wtf happend?

Oh shit I wanna see This is Engerland. Where's it playing?

I watched:
Sixteen Years of Alcohol (Good)
Morvern Callar (Bad)
Hot Fuzz (Awesome)

And now that I learned you can order movies INSTANTLY from Netflix for no extra charge I am deep into that shit. This could be bad. Last night was Toy Soldiers OH YEAH YOU HEARD RIGHT, the one with Sean Astin, Wil Wheaton, Louis Gosset Jr, Jerry Orbach, and so on. The book was better.

haven't you heard - "mumblecore" is the new big thing, a resurgence of american independent cinema on the level of cassavetes, jarmusch, malick et al.

laurel, this is... is at ifc center. it's excellent.

(and morvern callar is not bad!)

Ahaha sorry! I loved Warner's book The Sopranos but not MC, and sadly the movie didn't make me like it any more. Nicely scored, but ultimately a lose for me.

mumblvetes

morvern callar was weird but i liked it but not as much as ratcatcher (or the shorts that are included on that ratcatcher dvd)

"mumblecore" is the new big thing this month's newspaper-inch column-filler

What's fitting is I had to run back the heroine's last line of dialogue in Funny Ha Ha about 4 times before I understood it.

I liked Morvern Callar but I had read the book first and the endings are sooo different. book was better.

I've always wondered what song they used in the crazy strobey rave scene, it's not on the soundtrack cd

i feel like that question came up before and someone had an answer...? i might be imagining things tho.

yea total deja vu

Morvern Callar the question is asked here but i can't find the answer at a glance

no, i don't think it's in there although that's what occurred to me. that thread mentions the aphex twin songs, which are (i think) on the soundtrack.

I may have asked before but if anyone answered me on here i forgot

The Lookout (good to excellent)

^i beg to differ

And now that I learned you can order movies INSTANTLY from Netflix for no extra charge

this only works for PC and not Mac, wtff

king of kong = captivating

Bedazzled (1967)
Modern Romance
Sons of the Desert

Dawn of the Dead (the 70s one)
3-Iron <-- 2005 indie Korean movie. hated it

Shooter with mark walberg brought up a lot of good points.

Ace In The Hole
The Red Shoes
The 11th Hour (I thought it was worth seeing -- first 10 minutes are a bit stylistically overbearing and dicaprio's moments onscreen require a bit of patience but beyond that it didn't feel like a lecture. the one thing I was hoping we'd get was an aerial shot of the texas-sized island of plastic garbage floating in the Pacific, that's something we need to see)

also spent about three hours with Google Earth, a projection screen & a 3D controller on saturday night, I drove about twenty miles down the same one lane road through the Pyrenees, then I bounced from Paris to Baghdad a lot to compare city planning. Screenshots of Baghdad street layouts = cubism

high noon
the protector
born to win
the birds

oh yeah I also saw 49 Up a while ago. I was a little bored w/ the series by the end.

next up I've got The Proposition.

excellent movie!!

Netflix sent me the extras disc of Ace In The Hole instead of the movie, those bastards.

I finally watched The Conversation though, and Taxi Driver. Yeah, I have absolutely no idea how I'd never seen either.

Mommie Dearest

Never Promised You A Rose Garden - good mental hospital flick cuz the protagonist is in the bin for being totally crazy, not cuz "society doesn't understand me" Ken Kesey bullshit
Bonnie n Clyde - "hated it"
Coonskin - offa youtube. still one of the NYC greats of all time
Knife in Water - great camerawork, but this macho v macho shit is beyond my sphere
plus:
first 20 of Dial M for Murder (did not pick up on gay stuff seeing this age 11)
first 20 of Ghost Story (flying cock n balls)

9th configuration -- wtf?

Bonnie n Clyde - "hated it" ?
