Mini-Review: My favorite heist movie. So brutal and fierce in dialogue, grade-A-acting, and direction, it revs the viewer up just to cut away at the climax. Tarantino's instinctual camera perspective and writing makes for this to be one of his most creative and energized films yet. WHAT A KNOCKOUT DEBUT!

Mini-Review: This weird, magical little film manages to please the senses in all the best ways while grasping at our fear of fleeting mortality that many of us keep low. The thing I love about Anderson is that he masterfully blends the lighter and darker themes of life through wonderful writing, direction and visual/psychological cues; he nails it in this one. This is my favorite of his collection, to many's dismay, and that fact alone goes to show that he is a celebrated director for all the wrong reasons.

Mini-Review: I've nothing but wonderful things to say about the monster experience that is 8 1/2! Fellini's ambitions tackle a film within a film, explores memories-within-dreams which intercept reality, and masterfully exposes the strong communication of images. As Guido desperately seeks his escapism it's easy to lose grasp of his reality, but consider welcoming it. Also - the opening and final scenes could stand alone as exceptional masterpieces. Just, all around freakin' awesome.
