A few films recently watched.

watched the whole back to the future trilogy on blue ray on sunday, cried a little on the jonny B good part. backtothefuture/10

lost in translation

2nd time watching it

started slow for me but eventually grabbed me and suck me in. excellent movie.

Persona is the best film I've ever seen. Going to work through the rest of Ingmar Bergman's films now.

The moment when Florya and Glasha are walking down the dirt road of their village and the camera nonchalantly reveals the stack of dead bodies off the side of a house *literally* made my skin crawl.

 

 

 

Snap.

The film is fucking class.

Exit Through the Gift Shop

I don't even know how to rate this because Mr. Brainwash pisses me off so much; I remember all of his fucking ads around LA for his fucking 2008 "art show" and all the wankers getting into it because of how marketed it was, and it really made me hate living in LA at that time. I see what you're doing, Banksy, and sure, I'll have a laff with you about it, but it brings back some vile fucking memories.

Goddammit, LA.

Papillon - Pretty good.

Le Samourai - Again. Excellent. Watching for inspiration/to rip off some of Melville's moves.

Duel - Again. Very good early Spielberg TV movie.

Kin-Dza-Dza russian

 

 

 

 

 

I cannot express the pure sincere high that I get from (re-)watching this genius 89' russian sf/comedy movie, but what I am almost sure of is the fact that this is going to win the most idm tournament 2012 IF enough people watch it. anything I would say would surely be a spoiler, so just watch it inb4 i start spamming it

phase IV (again) - remember it being way better for some reason. maybe i'd forgotten the BAD acting! amazing macro-photography of the ants and the location and set give the impression of being on another planet. 70's sci-fi disaster romp without cheapo monster suits.

wow didn't know a movie existed. i loved the book.

oh, btw, Cohen's True Grit bluray is finally out. err... "out".

the whole following scene where they're struggling through the swamp. i thought they were going to drown and the scene seems to last forever... such an intense moment.

 

 

That's my favourite part of the film, it just perfectly highlights his hysteria and need to escape.

Death at a Funeral (UK original): hilarious/10

Unknown - Like Total Recall but in Germany instead of Mars. Has one of the funniest hacking scenes in recent movie history though. The scene with Ganz and Langella is quite nice though.

Nice...just recently???

come and see is one of the greatest ww2 movies ever for sure.

watched true grit last night, loved it, though the ending didn't sit right with me for some reason.

the adventures of buckaroo banzai - peter weller/10 - how did this ever get made? its utterly bonkers and brilliant.

the girl with the dragon tattoo / who played with fire / who kicked the hornets nest - ill give them a combined rating - 8/10 - seriously enjoyed the fuck out of all of these, whether the justice system over there is really that laid back and well, a bit lol - who the fuck knows but overall it kept me engaged throughout my marathon of the 3 films.

all quiet on the western front - 9/10 - still depressingly relevant, some of the best war scenes ever, this was made in 1929 ffs.

stigmata - 6/10 - not seen this for a while but i do like me a dose of gabriel byrne every now and then and patricia arquette can get on my dick nao plz

shenandoah - 8/10 - classic stewart, motherucker be rolling his own cigars! love this movie.

bad lieutenant: port of call - new orleans - cage's hair/10 - cant believe they pulled it off, loved every twisted minute of this.

office space 10/10

saw it 10 years ago and didnt remember it being this good. maybe i've just worked in more offices now. umm yeeah
