A few films recently watched.

buried - 7/10 - full of cliches and stupid contrivances, it is definitely within the hollywood paradigm despite the premise. and yet it's very tense and well acted, it portrays one's helplessness and the inhumanity of the institutions that surround us very well, quite affecting overall.

Seul contre tous - 8/10

Angst - 8/10

original tron - 9/10

das boot - 10/10

clerks (first cut) - 10/10

black cat white cat - 20/10 (amazing)

Time of the gypsies - 20/10 (amazing)

Underground (only saw half) - 8/10

la haine - 9/10

godfather part 3 w/ copolla commentary - 6/10

-- - -

still got L'Appartment, The Convosation, Baraka, Arizona Dream, Devil, The Man With The Xray Eyes (1962), The Night Porter and Farinelli Il Castrato to watch on my list, going to watch Winters Bone tonight.

The French Connection 10/10

The French Connection II same/10

Mission To Mars 8/10

Black Rain. Michael Douglas running around a steelworks in 1980's Japan. Stylish. Nostalgic...I too had to infiltrate Japanese gangland culture when I were a lad.

Happiness - FuctUPLawlz x11/10... I knew this was supposed to be a dark comedy but dear lord I was not expecting it to be that weird, shocking, crazy, funny, depressing, joyous.

Somewhere - 7/10. I am going to lose more cred here but even though I know Lost In Translation was probably a better film, I thought this was much more entertaining. I dunno, I can see how a lot of people wouldn't be that impressed by it, maybe I was just in the perfect mood to watch and I wasn't when I so L.I.T. but I was not never bored like I was with Translation.

somewhere - pretty entertaining, slow paced, nice acting, los angeles

i feel ya

Man Bites Dog - I've been wanting to watch this for years. What a great character 9/10

Elvis on tour 1972 - Pretty cool. Hard to not like Elvis. Seems Scorsese had a hand in this film too. 7/10

Black Swan - 8/10 - my favourite Aronofsky film thus far,

I bet some people are leaving the theatres due to panic attacks, almost had one myself while watching...wonderful film that I will probably not watch very many times in my life

Never Let Me Go - 8/10 - this is one of the most heart wrenching films I think I have ever seen....the world, in this film, is such a bleak one, that would probably exist if the right situation were to be in place for humanity,

this film feels like a strange companion piece to Children of Men, the alternate history and grand societal norm that everyone has to deal with, great film, will definitely watch this one again

The Way of the Gun - this movie was insane.. pretty realistic shooting, so much blood.. story was pretty good too.. I stongly recommend it 10/10

Biutiful - 10/10

If I had been watching this movie at home I would have been crying my ass off.

The Fighter 10/10/10

Skyline -0.666/10 - Lawlz, I knew this was supposed to be really really bad but gawd damn I can't believe this piece of shit had a wide release in theaters. Nothing about this was much more than a smudge of a smidge higher quality than a SyFy original. FUCKING GARBAGE. I skipped through it pretty fast but even my extreme measures to save face were not enough, I want the 30 minutes I spent jumping through this free pirated crap fest back... but.. I am kind of glad I witnessed how bad it truly was. Lawlz at the tools who paid money to see this in theaters.

underrated film for sure. great soundtrack too.

valhalla rising

9/10

really amazing how a sequence that consists of a guy stabbing a sword into the ground and another guy stacking up a bunch of rocks and a guy laying in the mud and another guy pushing his hands into the mud and a kid sitting there on a hill watching it could be more epic than any battle scene ever
