2007 Films: Back to Back

Second part of an unofficial trilogy by Yang Li,the shadowy prelude is moving into a lavishing tale of filthy spiritual tone!Should I repeat that?Better watch this exploding torture yourselves,the torment of unfair treatment,aye,where the mountains fear to roar..

Persepolis refuses to adopt the Toy Story and U.S. virtuoso styles of animation technique.So Satrapi is a renovator of comic book agenda,affirmative?A revolutionary road of her own...

A lush and tis the apocalypse's noon.For who would dare to contradict the Law of Nature?So who am I to prevent an imminent sexual clash?The surface of what's normal or twisted is just an abstraction!Oh yes,prepare yourselves religious ethics,the Law of Man is superior to you!!!
And Reygadas one of the anti-apostles.

I shall applaud Lin,and a thousand more cheers if he continues to preserve this aromatic stigma like in this picture.Jia Siao-guo as the nerve-cracking psychologist and Lunmei Kwai as the feminine free spirit fill the screen with superb warmth,parts of the road trip triangle,immobilized by time and yet in search of this love,this flame,a "something" to root for.

Parallel "universes",indifferent war-zones and dream-like situations,a certain ironic slash as well by the sensitive Lee pertained to his characters.Carnal,espionage creation,moody and amazing nobility,Tang Wei is an attractive tigress.Do not miss it...

A Burton film vigorously tentacled.Experimental musical,the serious musical Fosse referred to and Sondheim in this case studies it like many others of the 60's era.The scope of Sweeney is vengeance and like any other anti-hero,he is sympathetic (in a dubious way) .Brilliant odor of the London scums,goth underworld,call it whatever suits you.Let it be the opposite of Singin' in the Rain,Dark vs Caramel musicals.The stage version is probably more complete,however it's definitely a grappling feature.

Haunting Bell terminates all of the Young theories,battles the offensive voyeurism and in the meantime,loves to explore the predator's claws.Oh London,I love thy juiciness.

I loved Juno's soaring beauty.The edge of reasons,to be honest.Reitman however is still incapable of manufacturing his space and enlargement of situations,it's thanks to his cast and exceptional,if not stylistic,dialogue by Cody where uplifting moments are contrasted to the anxious background of reality.Garden State part 2.

Lovely but whoever repulsed the engraving of the unsurpassed cinematography of Lamorisse's grand achievement,it will be difficult to positively react to this demi-homage by Hsiao-Hsien.I must admit it was moving though the carefree motivations of the film's mechanism were already empty from the first half of the picture.

Michael,please don't react with your heart next time,I know you have studio ambitions to project yourself more to this awful Academy,nevertheless...reach out for significant events,CNN tabloids are off fashion...
Even so,Jolie's and Khan's skills overshadow the elliptic montage of a picture that could have offered more.

Deeply branched from an umbrella of various projections,influences and purposefully nervous shocks,[Rec] does contain a personal environment of rapid pace,and yes...a dystopian reality.The hand-held camera trick however isn't something new,but Balaguero has talent and Velasco's desperate heroine make up for the flaws.

Cronenberg seems to be losing it.Spider showcased a gradual decline,in addition to that fact,2 films from good to mediocre appeared unworthy of his madness.Mortensen and Cassel are impressive as well as Mueller-Stahl.The English mood is not so profane and the didactic story doesn't help too much,the mainstream within.

Modern romance as one poet quoted.Strongly tied with vast avant-garde sentiments,this candy short by Anderson speaks louder than his feature film does.Salty taste...

Screw this Baumbach,I feel sometimes indie scene is dragging because Hollywood starlets and boyish weirdos make a cameo of 90 minutes and that's it.Shaky camera movement?I eat that for breakfast but the screenplay sounds way too much of a plagiarist,sequential family unorthodoxy and despite the free dialogue of the heroes,only Jason Leigh proves she can ACT!!!

How is it possible that a normal geek like that U.S. jinx maniac endure himself the procedure of spiritualism and of witty remarks by uneven protagonists?The fact guests like Khan,Huston and the alternative director Barbet Schroeder kept me interested says a lot!

Hollywood brings forth a "clean" lawyer,how surprising.It's interesting to watch it until Clooney starts acting like he's the world's savior.Ticking instrumentation by Gilroy and yet he has nothing more to point out but a sequence of pictures.Swinton is haunting though so is Wilkinson and the sound raise its status.

For an homage,it's pretty decent and wholly exceptional.It is an homage however and not the brand new Tarantino flick or Rodriguez's dynamic film after Sin City.

A twist you'd expect and in the end..futile representation.I understand the situation here,Haneke remakes his exploding manifesto and besides Pitt's chilling appearance literally like Frisch's in the original,I personally believe it's another excuse for Hollywood to "commerciallize" a true auteur's idea giving him the opportunity to promote his already amazing film.Stick to independent american cinema and leave those bullshit Hollywood films and remakes to the popcorn audience.

Not to be confused with the...family-mushy film of the 50's,this...well...how to exclaim it..revenge topic comes off clean for the sadists of the genre.
If you ask me though,personally...Jordan must defend his reputation in the Worldwide Court of Film Industry and resuscitate his dignity because by making a ludicrous,semi-militarist piece of shit like this,he'll need more than an innocence presumption!!!

Ghost Rider is an insult to Marvel series..yes,this movie will make the core of your skin wish the times Blade used to slice his enemies in a single "stroke".Camp you say?C-movie to be honest.
