67 The Five People You Meet in Heaven (2004) - Jul 29, 2010
Mini-Review: A good film, but my hatred for it stems from its simple-minded, feel-good bullshit. This film, this book, this writer is bullshit. There are completely sensible reasons to hate each other. We are not all connected. Every dispute is not some chasm between linked personalities. Fuck you.
100 The Insider (1999) - May 30, 2010
Mini-Review: Depresses the shit out of you. And then you start to roar. And finally, it roars back. Good fucking movie.
95 Secondhand Lions (2003) - Jun 15, 2009
Mini-Review: Something is wrong with you if you don't like this idealistic, stupid film.
65 Red (2010) - Jan 10, 2011
Mini-Review: I'm too weary for this shit.
90 Black Swan (2010) - Jan 25, 2011
Mini-Review: From an outpouring of emotion comes what? The question of the film seems to be, "Is the beauty worth the horror?" but the film is more concerned with broadcasting emotions. Because the message is simplistic, even facile, I don't want to rate it too highly, and because I don't like melodrama I don't want to rate it too highly, and look, I'm rating it highly. I think that says what needs to be said.
85 Southland Tales (2007) - Jan 21, 2011
Mini-Review: I like this film because it has no fucking clue what is going on. I don't either. Let freedom reign. I get the impression that Richard Kelly is one of those rare people that is intelligent but completely incapable of expressing themselves coherently. There may be a message there, but I don't think even he can comprehend it. And I find that kind of beautiful.
85 Made in Heaven (1987) - Feb 03, 2011
Mini-Review: Is love merely an addition to a relationship? The view of heaven here is rather brutal to my mind. One has a keen sense of loss and pain despite having (supposedly) boundless power of imagination. Made in Heaven tells us that if we believe in ourselves and (something) love can transcend this mortal coil more than once. Does that make sense? Not to me. But it's a start.
60 127 Hours (2010) - Feb 27, 2011
Mini-Review: I watched this mostly to see if the arm cutting thing would bother me, and it was nothing. Don't see why anyone would get worked up over it. The film itself is fine, and well crafted, and if you're interested in what it's selling, it is an able salesman. Otherwise it's 1.5 hours of James Franco portraying a boring man quite well.
95 Slumdog Millionaire (2008) - Feb 09, 2009
Mini-Review: A wonderful movie, though predictable as others have said. The reason I love it is that the main character represents the absurd chance that a man who knows nothing in the right circumstance can know everything. (That matters).
100 L.A. Story (1991) - Apr 28, 2010
Mini-Review: Absolutely perfect. It's a 100 for me because of the absurd elements, like talking to a sign post or the notion that a sign post would have to come up with something in a hurry, or used to be a bagpipe...not just talking...submission...supplication? to a sign post...It shows desperation but also...some kind of bizarre equality among all objects in space.
