82 Dansaren (1994) - Sep 12, 2010
Mini-Review: A calm portrait of one who aspires to grace. "Dansaren" portrays a life of constant practice and pain, driven by a deep and sensitive spirit, captivated by beauty. The ballet is inspiring, and the tranquility of Bjorner is profoundly alluring.
87 Aoi tori (2008) - Jun 25, 2010
Mini-Review: At a meditative pace the film examines our fear to confront the instability we see in others and the weight one action can have. The earnest portrayal of the young protagonist and his sincere burden of guilt inspire tears as much as the theme encourages deep reflection. Tender and beautiful.
96 Whistle Down the Wind (1961) - Apr 02, 2010
Mini-Review: A beautifully photographed tale of innocence existing in a dark world. I especially thought the way it portrayed the adults in contrast to the children was brilliant; harsh, puffed up, cynical... but just as confused. Faith is blind, but paired with love it can make all the difference. Bleak, inspiring, and real.
91 Attack (1956) - Jun 22, 2010
Mini-Review: With the help of some harsh direction the human tragedy known as 'point-of-view' is grimly examined under stress in the hopeless setting of war. Revealing in its way that confusion, hate, fear and weakness are nowhere near as simple as they may seem. Throughout, the lonesome photography and haunting performance from Palance set the screen ablaze with sorrow.
92 Laila's Birthday (2008) - Oct 19, 2010
Mini-Review: Presents a mildy harrowing look into a disturbed anarchistic society, so close to peace, where simple things are made infinitely complicated by screwy mindsets and stupid conflicts. 'Laila's Birthday' is a smart, interesting, and very frustrating anti-anti-etablishment movie. "We just want to live." The ending is a little light, but I liked it.
59 The Magic Pony (1977) - Mar 02, 2010
Mini-Review: If you make other people do your crap for you then the Water Princess you had kidnapped will marry them instead; unless your sexy. Trust in your Magic Pony!
81 Star Knight (1985) - May 18, 2010
Mini-Review: The most ridiculous plot ever, enhanced with terribly misplaced accents, cheesy dialogue, and insanely contrasting characters. Basically, it's an awesome collage of hilarious medieval sci-fi fun; the Green Knight is the coolest character ever. P.S: There's a scene where people are held in church at spear point, lol.
98 The Murderers Are Among Us (1946) - Aug 11, 2010
Mini-Review: A despair ridden, accidental romance, amongst a city of ruins. The guilt of the protagonist is deeply felt as the desperate state of Germany mirrors his inner turmoil. However, despite all that I just said, it wasn't as bleak as I expected; not that I'm dissapointed. The glimmer of compassion, in the form of Susanne, was both wonderful and brave.
95 On the Beat (1995) - Aug 04, 2010
Mini-Review: Though there are some sparse comedic touches, On The Beat is at its heart a dark drama, utterly realist and forlorn, examining tradition, boredom, and purpose; with some serious political undertones. The ending hits the hardest as there really isn't one, totalitarian bleakness is the only revelation, as brilliant direction and camerawork gild the screen.
99 Tennen kokekkô (2007) - Jun 25, 2010
Mini-Review: A slice of life where nothing really begins or resolves, things come and things move on; tragedy and success without the histrionics. It's a sort of beautifully calm and sweet experience so close to life that by the end you feel you've become a part of it. Lovely.
