Gilliam's powerful Orwellian satire. Even a bit (as usual) clumsy on the technical side, the thought-provocativeness flows like a torrent. A must for political wannabes.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - Rated 24 Oct 2007

Best Gilliam. A very accomplished adaptation of a tough and sublime novel. Depp and Del Toro shine intensely.

Blade Runner (1982) - Rated 24 Oct 2007

Perfect photography, perfect narrative, perfect pace, perfect performances, perfect production design, perfect movie. Not a thing to be revisited frequently or just for kicks, but I'll be very hard pressed to rank anything as high as this.

12 Monkeys (1995) - Rated 24 Oct 2007

Excellent Gilliam, Willis and Pitt in great shape. A mind-bender instead of a political statement this time.

Heavenly Creatures (1994) - Rated 23 Oct 2007

Wobbly narrative, poor execution. A necessarily poor movie when coming from Bad Taste, Braindead and the Feebles into drama. Which should never have happened.

Tremors (1990) - Rated 23 Oct 2007

Great action scifi, like no one seems to know how to make these days.
