40 Un Chien Andalou (1929) - Jul 08, 2010
Mini-Review: What the fuck?? this makes no sense! Is that the point, to make no sense? If so, I find it stupid. A glorified student film.
91 The Best of Youth (2003) - Jul 01, 2010
Mini-Review: Very beautiful and emotional from start to finish, well deserved its long runtime. A small story of an Italian family with all the beauty of Italy entwined in it. Great performances all around and especially from Luigi Lo Cascio as Nicola.
90 Crash (2005) - Jun 26, 2010
Mini-Review: Many disregard this film for being too much "in your face", but to me that's exactly why I prefer it to others of the sort, such as Magnolia or Short Cuts. Here I can actually get the message. It also has some awesome performances and soundtrack, all together making a great film.
81 A Trip to the Moon (1902) - Apr 16, 2010
Mini-Review: The first ever no-bullshit kick-ass sci-fi featurs a few pompous astronauts, perky yet gentle aliens, and 'The Moon' as a supporting character. Too bad the real moon isn't nearly as much fun as the one seen here...
68 Death In Venice (1971) - Jul 05, 2010
Mini-Review: A film about a sick music proffesor going to rest in Venice. This man is unlikeable, uninteresting, snobbish, arrogant and pretentious. Or in short - boring and annoying. Oh, and also a pedophile. Also there's no story. Watching this is basically waiting two hours for the bastard to die, which seems to be the only thing that could end our mutual suffering. A great performance from Bogarde and the music from Mahler saves it from a complete disaster.
94 Into the Wild (2007) - Dec 29, 2009
Mini-Review: I can see how some might not like this chap (though I did), but even than, the breathtaking scenery and deeply moving soundtrack alone are more than worth a watch. Also, being a true story, it raises interesting questions about his motives and ideas - I was surprised and intrigued to see how other people had very different opinions on the guy.
95 Casablanca (1942) - Dec 29, 2009
Mini-Review: The definition of the word 'classic'
88 A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) - Jan 05, 2010
Mini-Review: This film, together with Casablanca, made me realize how much I was missing when I was avoiding old B&Ws. Brando and Leigh are both so captivating, each of them owns the screen. and when they're together, it's wonderfully unbearable. one of the best 'negative' chemistries ever, many villain/hero duos have much to learn from this.
70 I'm Not There (2007) - Jan 14, 2010
Mini-Review: Half of the score goes to the soundtrack (the one thing that can't be ruined in a movie about Dylan), the other half to Christian Bale. these were the only things keeping some connection with the man. Okay, I get it, it's not supposed to be "just another biopic", but it should still be coherent in some way, right? Havn't heard so much trying-to-be-philosophical babble since Wings of Desire. And the part with Richard Gere was downright ridiculous in any standart.
100 Harakiri (1962) - Feb 15, 2010
Mini-Review: This film is so haunting, so hypnotyzing, I had dreams in japanese after watching it :o. A heart-crashing performance from Nakadai, single-handedly exposing the absurdity and hypocricy of the samurai code. However the most amazing thing is how the story unfolds, it just sucks you in completely.
