"Eros"-OK, so it's an omnibus film with parts directed by three of my favorite directors (Wong Kar-Wei, Steven Soderbergh, and Michaelangelo Antonioni). The first part (WKW) is just beautiful and transitory in the way Wei does so well, plus Gong Li has never looked better (and that's saying quite a bit). The second part (Soderbergh) is funny, but the ending is kind of throwaway. The third part (Antonioni) is....well, I can't really tell if Antonioni's finally sttarted to get codgy (he is 93 after all) or if he's parodying his style of film-making. Either way, I couldn't get into it, if for anything else the SHITTY DUB JOB! All in all, OK, but wait for the DVD release.

"Schizo"-"Fight Club" sans macho posturing....and if the characters had something horrble in their lives aside from modern-living-induced ennui.....like, living in a war-torn country and having very few options to feed yourself. The main character (nicknamed "Schizo", hence the title) is a 15 year old who, with his moms boyfriend, runs illegal boxing matches. When one of the boxers dies in the ring, he runs the prize money to the boxers widow and child. From here on out....well, it could've been a generic "kid tries to do the right thing" film, except the pacing and the acting make it a heart-wrenching experience.

"Kes"-So combine neo-realistic techniques (natural lighting, location shooting, non-actors) with Joseph Losey (moral outrage over socially-accepted caste systems, growing up poor) and you have "Kes", which is just a tender and heartbreaking film about a boy who, with no job, no friends, no hope whatsoever, starts training a bird. Why this isn't realeased in the US, I have no idea.

Sin City as well.

ran home to put my hair up like Gail, hte leader of the hookers. It looked cute, and made me laugh.

Ann Paquin cauht ym attention, playing a characer with some semblance of a sense of self, and even then not much *puts ax down slowly*

but, of course, Elija Wood (sp?) took the cake. That creepy smile made the movie so much better. And Bruce Willis was good.

Nw, for my favorite part. The color was fabulous. Goodness, I saw it for the way it was shot alone. And the massive amounts of violence? So fun.

I have to buy the books now.

The last movie I watched was Run Lola Run with Franka Potente. See, I do like at least one foreign movie! :P I loved how it presented three different versions of events, depending on Lola's choice of actions. The "And Then" parts kind of reminded me of Spun a little bit, also Requiem for a Dream. All in all, a great movie!

Der Untergang, about the last days of Hitler, who is played brilliantly by Bruno Ganz. I've seen the documentary where Traudl Junge, Hitler's secretary, tells about the endtime in the bunker, and this movie is ostensibly based on many of those accounts. Very interesting, very grim. The highest number of suicides I've ever seen on film, I think.

Hero.

Wow.

Better than Crouching Tiger... and I am a HUGE Chow Yun Fat fan(atic).

I did not read the back of the box before watching it, glad I did. Actually EPS and I were at Blockbuster, doing the 'buy two get on free' thing, and she handed it to me and said "You are buying this."

Ok.

Didn't want to, but I did. And I am glad I did.

Last movie I saw was a horror flick called May.

Its about this little deranged girl. It was an awesome flick. Its supposed to be scary I guess but if you have a sick sense of humor its funny as hell.

The arrow flying scenes were neat though. And both of the female characters were very much yummy... even after they were dead.

Just weird.

The movie, aside from the action, was too fucking predictable. The action, in and of itself, was predictable, but it was still fun watching. The sotry?

C'mon.

Really.

C'mon.

I'd have to agree with T, I don't think Hero was such a great film. Ok, great photography-cinematography, costumes, but the story was thin.
Still, fun to watch - once.

I saw The Interpreter (starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn)
It was interesting to watch, had a good plot, impeccable acting and action. Plus some political messages on the side. I found though that it promotes the UN, when we know that they are not that efficient. And the last 5-10 minutes of the film were a bit boring.

Ooh, I loved May! I watched it with my boyfriend, and he musta thought I was some kinda psycho because I kept snickering and giggling when May'd kill someone. I guess I could kinda relate to May because I was made fun of a lot when I was younger because of my "buck teeth", which were subsequently fixed with braces.

Spanglish.

The best Sandler movie ever, one of the best dramas I’ve ever had the pleasure of sitting though. The acting, the characters, the whole fucking thing is top notch. It’s a real slice of life, watch it.

I went out and rented that yesterday (Spanglish).

Sandler really didn't do too bad of a job at all in a drama. I only had a problem with two parts of this movie:

1.) The daughter in Sandler's family felt entirely too phoney for me to really like. But that's not bad acting cause overtly extroverted people in real life (i.e. sales people) all come off the same way.

2.) The revelation between Flor and Sandler towards the end was just... I don't know. I remember seeing the scene end and thinking, "Ehh... what?" Kind of an awkward moment which ultimately set up the end.

But other than that, it was a good drama by all other aspects, like the almighty T said. Especially the conclusion for me.

Excellent points, and I agree 100 percent on the character of the daughter. I felt a little cliché tugging at my preformed character strings, but at the same time I thought she did a good job at cliché.

Or, I’ll say I believed her.

On the second part, with the end epiphany which had been building up throughout the entire movie, I also have to agree with your thoughts. But there was something so humanistic, so believable about the whole thing, which struck me as genuine. It elicited similar emotions as the recent Little Black Book, meaning the story had more in common with real life experience than with Hollywood driven happy (or at least neat) endings, and it’s always been my experience that life is messy.

And it’s always good to know that I, and those like me, aren’t the only ones wading through the shit.

But yes, I see your issues, and concede the points. Also, did you think it strange that the son’s character was never developed? That was my only real problem with the movie, and it is a minor problem, but after watching it I keep wondering…

Why the fuck did they have two kids? The son didn’t move the story along at all, why didn’t they cut him out?

Oh yeah... argh. The son. He had so little to do with anything. Everytime he came on, I kept asking myself, "Who the hell is this kid again?" The film spent on reminding me was an incredible waste of 15 seconds. You're introduced to him rather informally. Then you're just reminded that he's alive every once in a while. So exactly. What's the point of his existance in the script? Would have been as equally present as just a picture on the mantle and a line of dialogue suggesting he was at summer camp or something.

And yeah, I agree that it's very much real to life. That's probably why it felt like such an awkward scene towards the end.
