Let The Right One In (4/5)

Posted on 12 Feb 2009

The subtle revelations of the vampire work perfectly. Creepy, Norsk, dark, bully-gets-it-in-the-end like you've never seen. I'd love to travel Europe with my vampire-girlfriend in a box--well, until I hit 28 and she's still 14 or whatever age limit they permit there in the Caucasus. Chad offered me up these thoughts: Having watched Let the Right One In again I have to say it's even sadder than I initially thought. It seems very obvious that the ...

Enemy At The Gates (3/5)

Posted on 12 Feb 2009

Fine actors and sets but nowhere to point the camera, nothing compelling to say. Not bad, not great, thanks for the dramatized historical information. This may end the WWII kick I'm on.

This film aged quite well.

Downfall (5/5)

Posted on 10 Feb 2009

A surprisingly effective film that rarely leaves the bunker in its three hours. The bit where Hitler reprimands his chief officers has become a favorite scene to re-dub on the YouTube channel.

Annie Leibovitz: Life Through A Lens (2/5)

Posted on 10 Feb 2009

Undoubtedly a gifted photographer. A personal version of hell would be sycophantic catering to over-pampered dickhole celebrities for the sake of making them up like chic-odd-sexpottery, for the sake of moving issues of Vanity Fair. Celebrity is dumb.

S1m0ne (0/5)

A train wreck of Pacinoan magnitude. I quite fancied Niccol's Gattaca, but after this and the very scheize Lord of War I may just have to hate the whole catalog.

Hitler: The Rise Of Evil (3/5)

Posted on 8 Feb 2009

A relatively cheap and made-for-TV biopic; educational and well-paced. Who knew that Hitler chose his mustache to help differentiate himself from the average. My WWII inquisition continues.

Ghost Town (3/5)

Posted on 7 Feb 2009

Surprisingly fun Ghost rehash with Ricky Gervais. I do fancy Gervais: I do unfancy Ghost.

The Constant Gardener (5/5)

Posted on 5 Feb 2009

White liberal guilt featuring a favorite actress and two of my four favorite continents. Fine balance of drama, gore, sex, spy effects, and corporate villainy.

Clue (5/5)

Posted on 26 Jan 2009

Timeless. The quick and witty script could not have been better executed. I still dislike the multiple endings--just not necessary and distinctly counter to the point of a whodunnit mystery.
