Hulk Vs. Wolverine
Perhaps my expectations were skewed, but I went into this hoping for more than just 30 straight minutes of fight scenes. I enjoyed it, but wish they would have spent a little more time on the characters rather than just have them beat on each other endlessly. But really, it's an animated Marvel flick clocking in at barely over half an hour - for what it is, it's pretty well done. |
Shuttle (2008)
http://shopping.yahoo.com/video/imag...27/2658927.jpg A late night airport shuttle ride home descends into darkness. One after another all the failed escaping efforts of the two girls were kinda annoying. It was too lengthy but had a 'decent' ending. >>: C+ |
"Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer" 7-8/10

Not laugh out loud funny - but very amusing. recommended. |
Death Proof
Boring boring boring. About 95% of the dialogue (and there was alot) was completely irrelevant which was exceptionally tedious and theres nowhere near enough payoff to reward the patience of the viewer. QT knows how to make great film, this wasnt it. |
Mothman Prophesies. Pretty good flick. Ashe.

Waltz With Bashir (2008)
A wholly unique aesthetic experience- documentary interviews with animated visual re-enactments. What is beautiful about the picture is that what is shown on screen always follows exactly what is learned through the interviews, even when the recounts contain elements of surrealism, distortion or haziness. Because the story is told in memory patches (and because, admitedly, I went in knowing nothing about the subject) I found myself lost in a series of images with no grip on reality; mostly this was intentional but I would have liked something more solid to have grasped onto. But when the ending came it hit me like a ton of bricks: poetic, haunting, sickening. The Gold Rush (1925) I like when friends haven't seen Chaplin films; it gives me a chance to see them again with a pair of fresh eyes- it's like Christmas morning. This one's a heartbreaker, a thrilling adventure, a work of comic genious. It's a totally unique work of art in which Chaplin poured every ounce of his heart and soul and the result is nothing short of stunning. The Tramp stumbles into the far North in search of gold, but success can never come easily; life lessons, often tragic, come to this stranger in the form of love-sickness and loneliness, and we come to pity this poor character so much that every disappointment he faces hits us square in the gut as well. Wonderfully colorful characters enter The Tramp's life as he makes his way through the treacherous snow- the men are always bigger, stronger and angrier than our little protagonist, and the women are hardly interested in little strangers with canes. The film is a visual treat, every scene enshrouded in the blank white atmosphere; sight gags including bears, mobile cabins, man-sized chicken hallucinations and boot-meals are sprinkled evenly throughout. Most special, though, is the amount of love Charlie brought to his character, a man who began as a simple comic dummy and over several decades became Chaplin's closest friend; the artist cares for his subject, and our emotional connection follows naturally. The movie's aura is frigid cold, but The Tramp keeps us warm with a welcome ease. |
Die Hard
As das as it is, I haven't seen this before. At least, not all the way through. It just strengthened my love of Alan Rickman's acting. |

(MAJOR SPOILERS) The movie kicks ass too...the name is referred to the amazing gun the hero uses. He makes it from assembling various guns together to make one, single motherfucking ass-kicking gun. You gotta see it to believe it, bud. ;) (END OF SPOILERS) |
Time Crimes. Pretty decent flick. The main character's motivtions are a little hard to believe at first, but it all comes together nicely in the end. Not as good as Primer, though, IMHO. Ashe.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Really enjoyed it. Maybe too many characters were given too little air time but it pretty much did exactly what it said on the tin. |

That Obscure Object of Desire (1977)
A deeply affecting film and a haunting farewell by Bunuel. This film is as serious as the director got, and the passion behind his characters and the weakness he instills them with is- I can find no better word- scary. The themes work playfully by exploring the space given to them, and this is the secret to Bunuel's touch; he is not rushed to unveil his careful tragedy nor is he particularly concerned with getting there- the importance lies in the slow-burn of life and the frightening twists and turns that accompany it. Carole Bouquet and Angela Molina are among the finest actors Bunuel has ever worked with, and the evidence comes from their awe-inspiring duel performance, a work of art within itself, mesmerizing and complex; what did Bunuel have in mind with this shifty trick? Did it really matter? A career filled with jokes and vivacious gestures would suggest otherwise, but there is something urgent about this last work, something chilling and unsure. Mathieu (played delicately by powerhouse actor and Bunuel regular Fernando Rey) is a man unbearably tormented by lust and loneliness, themes that seemed to torture the director's own visions and perhaps his life. To see the desperation which constantly encrusts Mathieu is painful; he is a pathetic character with animalistic reflexes and a babyish emotional complex which extends no further than his own need for companionship. But he is human in this regard, and watching him touches the most personal parts within us; we pity him and we pity ourselves. The film does not entertain me but instead makes me indescribably sad. It is strictly a film, and it is like watching a friend deteriorate without the ability to help. A tragedy and a tour-de-force of exquisite acting, smooth visuals and satisfyingly human direction. What a way to end a career. |
