Bio: I'm very passionate about this medium. I'm a big fan of American, French, Japanese, Italian and Swedish cinema (but other foreign films keep me interested aswell). I'm currently watching a lot of old films I hadn't seen until now as I'm slowly losing faith in contemporary cinema. I love Chaplin films, character studies, films about films, epic films, but most importantly, films which spur discussions and are left open to interpretation. If you ever wanna discuss films in general, or direct my attention to a certain film, just let me know. peace
Featured Reviews
85 T9 The Seventh Seal (1957) - Jul 17, 2010
"(2nd viewing) There's so much to take in a span of 94 minutes, makes up for a lot of interesting conversations, more so than films such as "Mulholland Dr." or "2001: A Space Odyssey". One of the strongest and most beautiful expressions of life and death in the history of film which requires repeated viewings, though this film might always remain beyond our understanding, just like the inconceivable task to grasp God."
5 T1 Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997) - Oct 03, 2007
"5, for the five hot babes I spotted on that boat"
95 T10 A Serious Man (2009) - Jan 12, 2010
"A masterpiece from one of my favorite directors. The path to the enlightenment is a bumpy and enigmatic road. The film does suffer from repetition due to the perennial negative aura it bestows upon its troubled main character; It ends on a ambiguous note, yet it works on a cerebral level and is one that has been earned. It's this inventive backbone that makes "A Serious Man" the best film 2009 has to offer, one that will undoubtedly grow on me after repeated viewing. Wholeheartedly recommended."
95 T10 Paris, Texas (1984) - May 09, 2010
"As barren, desolate and unpredictable as its gorgeously shot Texan outback. I loved how Wenders doesn't stimulate prejudgment since the story only comes full circle near the end, and Stanton perfectly captures his character's moral ambiguity, such a great performance. To me, a movie is like a good wine: given room to breathe, devoid of unwanted, excessive substances and one that packs a hefty (and in this case emotional) punch. Highly Recommended !!!"
15 T1 Alice in Wonderland (2010) - Mar 14, 2010
"I adored Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat: the smooth animation and silky voice over, the film's redeeming quality IMO. Every other department failed to capture the spirit of the classic animated film (still my favorite Disney feauture with Dumbo). There was a scene near the end where I wanted to grab my things and leave, one that pandered to the lowest common denominator (well, it's a PG rated Burton film). I just couldn't believe he'd sink that low, but hey, "even Jerry Lewis gets pussy so...""
95 T10 Eraserhead (1977) - Mar 14, 2009
"An extraordinary exercise in the art of filmmaking, less translucent than Mulholland Dr. but far more bleak and engaging. In Lynch's world, nothing is what it seems, he successfully eliminates the boundaries between reality and dream, creating a fabulous tension and nightmarish post apocalyptic world, leaving the end result open to interpretation. "Eraserhead" is an unforgettable masterpiece; A rewatch is definitely not out of the question. Fuck me, that was amazing !!!"
95 T10 Apocalypse Now (1979) - Mar 29, 2010
"Intoxicating and plays better than the overlong Redux version (which is great aswell). Brando and Sheen are perfect, and the film looks absolutely amazing. A war film that transcends its political boundaries to become a unique work of art that will suffocate you with its unpredictability as you throw yourself deeper into the menacing jungle. Highly Recommended !!!"
