Films that need watching and having
I have a bad habit when it comes to movies, I spend heavily on them and take a long time to watch some of them. Also, I enjoy buying them, waiting for them to arrive by mail and watching them. Bad or good, it's all fine to watch.

La Terza Madre (Mother of Tears: The Third Mother) (2007, Unrated)
Awesome, more like his late work, similarities with Opera than with the other 2 of the three mothers film. The gore is heavy and the sex very obvious too. I liked it for it's realistic edge over the fantastical element of Suspiria and so it's different. The way it depicted the evil of the Mother of Tears was very brutalistic and that suited the style here. Lastly, this is Argento, which makes it cool. |

Kicking and Screaming (1995, R)
Beautiful, I loved evry minute of this minute. An experience where ideas of motifs and subtext are less important than the emotions and the beauty of remembering what is basically something we try to remember all the time as we've been in it. I loved the dialogue of this film, extremely rohmer in every sense. |

La bestia in calore (SS Hell Camp) (SS Experiment Part 2) (The Beast in Heat) (1977, Unrated)
Badass, the monologue by the partisan at the end was astute and amazing and the bullets through the vagina just to prevent an outcast spawn being born was really badass. Seriously, the scene where the mad super villain is munching on that thing, I was shocked and felt something wrong. Just pure badassery. |

Ballad of a Soldier (1959, Unrated)
An absolutely beautiful film of a son willing to goall the way in meeting his mother to just do one thing for her. Such a beautiful story, its emotions coming out so strongly, the dialogue not aiding it but satisfying the images which are already carving out the sentiments in ourselves. I loved the way the male character is this good-hearted man, doing what he can for his countrymen and who is so self-sacrificing, putting away glory for just one beautiful moment at the end of the film. A really stunning and poetic tale, a road-movie, and even a delightful comedy. |

Green for Danger (1946) (1946, PG) |

Brute Force (1947, G)
An extremely brutal piece of prison film. The entire film is like a critique of the way prisons are run, it shows what happens behind the scenes and goes right into the psychology, by the establishing of chcracter personality and their background, though vague, offers glimpses of these man, basically they are men like any other. They gamble, they err and they don't get better in prison. A very harsh piece that is also an allegory of power in the United States by a great artist of American cinema. |

Ulysses' Gaze (1997, Unrated)
An amazing, startling film, a very numbing experience, almost like being high and gone. This film was one of the most poetic and disturbingly visual I've seen. Every shot, every long take, every word was like a prayer. I was absolutely hooked to this film, it really captured me. I'm not going to say it's not for everyone, but watch it to see the experience you have. |

Who Finds a Friend Finds a Treasure (, Unrated) |
|

Memories of Underdevelopment (Memorias del subdesarrollo) (1973, Unrated)This film reminds me a little of "Amores Perros", a similarly desperate film. I found the central character very sympathetic to me, I could not guess his actions, but I could feel why he does them. A film very beautiful, the camera stunning and the character development emphasized over a decipherable plot. The actions of Cuba, revolutionary and counter-revolutionary and the whole problems with it, are shown here, shaped around a man. |

El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth) (2006, R)
To see a girl lying there bleeding, and to see time going backwards, time having nothing to do with life, reality as good as fantasy, that opening was one of the most startling I've seen in the history of cinema. A girl caught up in strife, having lost a lot, she makes up for it, by replacing natural beauty for inner peace, a desire where having accomplished some adventure, she reaches peace and love. The entire tale was a gritty tale, but one where the grittyness was not cool, but instead, a blight on mankind. Extremely similar in its themes with 'The Spirit Of The Beehive'/ |
|
| 21 |
Le Fantôme de la Liberté (The Phantom of Liberty) (The Specter of Freedom) (1974, R) |
|
| 22 |
Switchblade Sisters (1975, R)
This movie was really awesome. I mean, I don't really dig female over males nonsense, but this was badass. The dialogue was really cool and to hear Tarantino say it was something else. It was seriously just cool. The film had great actors, Robbie Lee and Joanne Nail and had such a storyline that was simple but really strenghtened by the burgeoning tension and friction being caused. One helluva Jack Hill film. |
|
| 23 |
Dead Ringers (1988, R)
An utterly incomprehensible and disturbing look at the downfall of two brothers slide down into mental incasbility, degeneration and their incessant need for satisfaction, be it work or pleasure. It is one film that drew me more than Cronenberg's other work but for this film, I've yet to entirely put my finger on the underlying theme even though every bit of it just sort of threw me off hither. |
|

Grindhouse (Grind House) (2007, R)
Watched this a while back and have to say, this is the best, absolutely brilliant films, films that were low quality but shot in such a badass manner and everything was hands down a blast. Watching Kurt Russell as such an awesome badass was fun and to see him getting it in the end was such fun. Hope more comes out. |

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957, Unrated)
The ending was really badass, with the Godly dialogue and all. The entire film was really astounding for one reason. The last scenes were a masterpiece with the mood being set and lack of dialogue but the way it was resolved, with it being a survival movie as compared to the earlier parts and where you hope for that ending and it just doesn't show was very brave and really brought this movie to be a daring and to top it off, a technical masterpiece. |

Hoodoo Ann (1916, Unrated) |
|

Ratatouille (2007, G)
There's something about the ending that just does not leave me satisfied, especially after the scene when all the other chefs leave the restaurant. I mean, the monologue and the closing down was great but I felt a bit disturbed that when they spent so much time on making the animation so great, why not just a pinch more for perfection, maybe it's just me but anyway, it was a great film, really got me hooked and the story moves at a pace that was fantastic and yet evocative, a lot of subtleties were there, very much an adult film as well as a kid's film. |

Tau ming chong (Warlords) (2007, Unrated)
I just love these kind of films. The thing is, it has a narrative structure that is very expected and even stereotypical, a lot of the goals and sub-conscious goals were there, but it was well held up and overall, it was joy to watch. Some of the editing was pretty outrageous, especially in the earlier scenes, where it looked like the army was coming nearer but it wasn't and the next cut showed it or least gave an idea how relaxed the enemy were, but the army in the next cut looked even nearer. I thought that was very interesting. |

Britannia Hospital (2001, R)
What a film, the feeling I got of watching this film was of how long could it actually continue, I was stupefied. A zombie and a mob that was both leftist and revolutionary. It was out of this world, Lindsay Anderson continues to impress me. This film really was brilliant. A satire and a parody and an attack on society as it was developing in Britain. The scum of the Earth, angered and distasteful rise up against a government, an attack on the way the world was developing, people left behind and a satire on the different individuals of British society. It was honestly wicked, the camera, used a lot of long takes and povs and the story was really tight, like a boiling-pot at times. |

If.... (1968, Unrated) |

O Lucky Man! (1973, R)This is the one film of the trilogy that I cannot imagine watching twice. Not that it's bad, but it's allegory is so biting and the humour is occasional. The acting is very charming and well-played but the film is very disturbing personally and the way everything is direct, revolution, capitalism, police state, human conditioning and done like a road movie that goes through the entire coast of Britain was highlly effectual and extremely edifying, but yet very exciting to watch. |

The Naked Prey (1966, Unrated)Really good adventure tale. A manhunt in primitive style where we see the effects of colonialism not just obviously but its effects overall on the contitnent and its changes on the people. The personal tragedy of the people is never one sided but is double-pronged to emphasize the humanity and the similarity of each man's tale in any form of struggle or fight. |

My first of the trilogy, this was remarkable in its achievement. The use of shapes and sizes in its outrageous camera composition was totally stunning, it held me to the scene as editing violations were held up proud by its beautiful framing. The shots were delicately crafted too and Monica Vitti's character was fleshed out in a most sublime and ethereal mosaic done on black and white film. |

Captivity (2007, R)
I'm rating it highly mainly because of one thing, this was a movie that made me wonder how they escaped. I mean the use of multiple plot twists is nothing new, it was done in a lot of giallo movies particularly, but here, the fact when they tried and tried, you wonder what's going to happen, that fact, even though the movie was not gory or disturbing made this movie fascinating. The use of plant and payoffs in the last part was quite interesting too. I'm still wondering about the early scenes where the film was in black & white with blue and green tinges or something like that. |

Apocalypse Now (1979, R)
This film is a philosophical discourse done in the wonderful format of cinema. A movie so startling and genuine at tandem, so beautiful is its canvas, so pure its words. When I was watching this, I kept rewinding it, just to listen to the words again. The way the dialogue was written, like when he said he cried, like an old grandmother was so perfect because when paused at the part when he said he cried, I expected the stereotypical cried like a baby, but the words were done in a way that fooled the audience. This film proves Coppola as the best among the American film brats. |

Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (Aguirre, the Wrath of God) (1972, Unrated)
This film is devastating, its entire atmosphere of destruction literally wails right at us, the characters are so like us and the entire obsession with a mythological city, similar to Jodorowsky's Fando y Lis, brings about to life what reality can cost mankind, the reality of power, greed, desire and influence. A highly layered piece of work done in an outrageous camera style with a plot as minimalist as it isincomprehensible not because of obscurity, but because the outside actions nor the actions of the characters were strongly placed out. Definitely one of Kinski's finest. |

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998, R)
Absolutely fantastic, raw and a great and fascinating trip down Vegas and drugs. A film where sense is neither here nor there, the drugs make no sense and everything is just about living. I love the way the subtle links are done between characters, very wide and contrasted. The performances were splendid too. |

A Scanner Darkly (2006, R)
Keanu Reaves is definitely a bad-ass stoner actor. This film is rather difficult to follow but that is not important at all, in fact, it moves the information so fast, it barely makes it noticeable. But the movie talks a lot about friendship and betrayal, the idea of trust and knowing who we are, it addresses a lot of this issues in ways that are barely susceptible. I love the way they even added Alex Jones in the movie, I think that even if you are personally and ridiculously offended by this ideology, you still have another ideology or belief to look here and hopefully you're not that blind to see it, a wonderful film no doubt. |

Waking Life (2001, R) |

La Science des Rêves (The Science of Sleep) (2006, R)
This is definitely better than Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, there, the director was restrained a little, but here, it flows naturally, making the film more beautiful, the montage shots coupled with surreal reality makes this a very witty film, changing what is a dry innocuous love into something more beautiful, an effortless play, a show of young love between two very different and incongruous idealistic individuals. An effort to show love brewing and blooming byt stifled due to the complexity of one person who loves the attentio and one who likes it to be at a side from time to time. |

Just saw this, and what a delight. I can't and probably never will forget the camera movement of this film, it was just fascinating. Tony Leung is a brilliant actor and I must say, brilliant acting and directing and you have this stupendous piece of film. The entire film was just startling, the narrative just makes you awed at how it was done, the pacing, the structure. Seriously wonderful. |

Mulholland Drive (2001, R)
I loved this movie, what an exciting and fascinating way to explore love and greed. By making it a pandora's box, the bow of all evil and by really breaking conventions and telling the audience how wonderful the cinema is, to create such masterpiece as this film. I honestly believe Lynch is not just a great contemporary director, but a splendid director of all time. |

The Virgin Suicides (2000, R)
A fantastic movie, very minimalist but not in terms of its design but in its portrayal. It was very beautifully shot and the characters were reallly interesting. From the first sequence of events, I knew what was going to happen later on and I was right, it was blatantly obvious, but the horror of it and the cathartic reaction was so supreme, I was really extremely down and just wondering. It is not hopelessly emotional but very experiential, the similarities of the problems was well evoked. |

I Am Legend (2007, PG-13)
An extremely philosophical movie, with themes of faith and redemption. I loved the fact that this movie had a strong built-up of character and a very unique of shooting its scenes, very extravagant and epic but yet subtle and elegant, with a point of building up the film to its highest point and blowing it over. I was hugely surprised and I must say that Francis Lawrence is a director that I think highly of now. |

Eternity and a Day (1999, Unrated)
A splendid movie, visually brilliant, though this film won at Cannes, I prefer 'Landscapes in the Mist' more than this out of the three of Angelopoulos films I've watched. The story is just resplendent, very stark and daring with some amazing, probably Gothic influenced shots like those at the border. A director who knows how to use the camera and mise-en-scene and not just a story. |

Juno (2007, PG-13)
I'll be really honest, I hate it when people use Argento's name in vain. I won't spoil it, but please know something about Argento if you use his name. I'm extremely biased, therefore I loved this movie for one thing, the last scene and I liked the music a lot. Imagine using music that ciontrasts heavily with what is being mentioned on the film itself, like a fight-off between emotional music and politically and socially charged tunes, that was fascinating and it worked well with Ellen Page's character when she relates with the future on-screen father, their contrasting tastes basically work against each other. The script and dialogue was a little childish a lot of times, the directing saved this and made this a beautiful movie. |

The Last Wave (1977, PG)
A lot of times when I watch supernatural thriller, they sort of make it too Hitchcock in style or it just doesn't draw you in. I hate that. This is the supernatura, how can it not draw you in or at least make you know what is it. For this movie, we see a lot about transitions and discovery, the theme of something forlorn. The camera really helps in that, when it moves, it is an uneasy disturbing movement, making transitions difficult, we see that in the aborigines living in a city, their culture absorbed into a metropolis, a city not their own. The lead character is driven mainly by curiosity and then later, by sheerempathy, these people talking about premonitions and him having it. I personally thought it's a fascinating film, about the thin line between rational, pragmatic and tradition white, Protestant thought in conflict with the world as it is and also in conflict together with and against the primitive, primordial andantediluvian beliefs of a people, barely tainted by the New World, spiritually if not physically. |

La sindrome di Stendhal (The Stendhal Syndrome) (1996, Unrated)
An extremely disturbing portrayal of a person's degenrative decline into its atavistic state by means of a personal trauma that is both base and primal. This perception of what is beautiful is explored all the time by artwork that is both natural and magnificent, this film is above all else an exploration of what is subjective and what is objective, in my opinion, an under-rated masterpiece. |

One reason why this is badass. In 'Once Upon a Time in America', you have a good guy who wants to kill bad guy but before that he helps him as he wants to personally kill bad guy and not others. Here, you have a bad guy who lets his own bad guys get killed as he wants to stay alive to kill another bad guy. Now, I don't know if there's any particular similarity, but I don't care, this is still a badass movie. |

Ridiculous yet outrageously innovative.

Nachts, wenn Dracula erwacht (Count Dracula) (1970, PG)Not Franco's best in my own subjective opinion but I could be wrong, it could be his greatest. The narrative was all over the place and there were a lot of striking, funky shots, looking into camera and the roles just suited fine for each character, like Christopher Lee in particular. Very different from the other Dracula movies by Herzog, Murnau and Coppola, which is good since they all differ too. |
|

No Country for Old Men (2007, R)
Extremely cutthroat in its content and very gruesome scenes. That blow thing used at the start was seriously wicked. I really startled a moment when I saw that. It is a genuine tale of people who just cannot handle this world, to put it plainly, where tossing coins and shooting birds are the way to go. |

Bug (2006, R)
There's one thing not mentioned about this movie or I've yet to have seen it and it's the script. The script here is a wonderfully strange and brilliant script and dare I say innovative. The characters were done in an odd way, the male charactor had more or less dull dialogue but it was very interesting, like when he talks with Ashley Judd's character outside the house early in the film and he is talking about his father being a preacher, I think that had a lot of meaning, it gave out a lot of the character. I loved when the ex came home he said he had a sweet tooth, it was a very interesting trick as I thought this would be a movie on bugs, like big bugs. The directing was masterful too, a lot of tricks and fascinating plants, like the supermarket scene and the name 'Lloyd'. The phone-call is a mystery still. |

More visual than anything else, but the effort to detail here is very good, a fascinating depth and continuity applied. Some people say the gore is done a lot but for me, it feels like the visual elements heighten it. I was wondering what's the significance of the pig, the masks and all, there has to be a reason and this detail is what's going to hold the series together. |

Stardust (2007, PG-13)
In terms of depth or any brilliant plot, it doesn't have much except what you learn at every film school, a 3-act, a very typical 3-act with a sub-conscious goal, a conflict and so on, but the beauty and gentle manner of its tale, by making it all simple and not harping on things like evil and jealousy except where necessary, like the wiitch, but everywhere else, the prince who kill their brothers, it doesn't push it, even though we know it's bad and this gentle take on fantasy is what I find totally rivetting. |

Perawan disarang sindikat (Virgins From Hell) (1987, Unrated)
Awesome film about bikers who are also virgins and the havoc they create. I quite liked the dubbing, I thought it was hilarious and yet intriguing, poked my curiosity as a whole. I also thought that the way it worked was extremely fun, I mean, the compound was so odd, it seemed to have no continuity for some reason at times, like where is this and so on, but it really just made it more badass. |

Maria Full of Grace (2004, R)
A beautiful movie and a brilliant poster too might I add. This film really shows what an individual is in this world, a mule, not just for drugs but on overall, how abuse is all the way down, where if you don't have responsibilities, you have to get one or support one and your happiness is not there. I fully loved this movie even if the shots were very typical but the direction was pure emotional mastery. |

Broken English (2007, PG-13)
I feel this is a nice movie, where we see the character, the female, just at a loss, confused and always losing out. It had a very Rohmer feel to it, but the thing was, the scenes at Paris were really odd, they left me feeling that, unlike Rohmer's ending which has a beautiful impact a lot of times and always feel the same for his movies, here, it brought out something else. Overall, a fascinatingly interesting movie though. |

A splendid film. The early part of the film is fantastic and has this hypnotic, stoner effect, where the images and dialogue exist to make you twirl in your mind. I love the the entire mood of the film, of wandering of wanting something of proving something, of human foibles and frailties, it was a film of discovery and it had a very severe effect in tis display. |

Visitor Q (Bijitâ Q) (2002, R)
This film almost made me close to vomitting, very close, like the food moved up a notch of an inch if it did. But I loved this film a lot, for one reason. Miike is a pupil of Imamura and Imamura was a pupil of Ozu. This film is like an ozu in theme and it was done like it but had no relation at the same time and yes, grotesque and macabre and breast milk spilling everywhere is not Ozu, but the content and the mastery of material, this is the continuation if his ideas, if not pure, but is clarity. |

Salo (Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma) (1979, NC-17)
A brilliant film, a very strong satire on the fascist regime, blows you back and makes you think about mankind as a whole, I don't think it is just an attack on fascism, but an attack on government holding full power, power to do anything it desires. It is really a powerful messagr and each scene goes into what it talks on. The scene where one of them has sex with one of the outsiders, where one of them commits suicide out of guilt, everything seems to represent something, a collage of scnes, without caring for the plot, but just the images, avery well done piece of cinema. |

Elegiya dorogi (Elegy of a Voyage ) (2002, Unrated)
This film is seriously trippy, done in Sokurov's trademark style, this is a really beautiful in how it evokes this cinematic landscape and links it with another powerful visual art, where memories collide to create this smooth subjective juxtaposition where after watching, you just believe than in serenity there lies greater and evil truths. The line where the Dutch says he believes in the goodness of man and also in his evil was wonderful. |

I'm biased, I love revenge films. The entire idea of vengeance is just amazing. Watch this with 'Rolling Thunder', both has the same idea but very different. I also love the cinematography for this, I was crawling on my seat when I was watching the camera move in the car-park, it was that cool. I like Keven Bacon too. |

Jungfrukällan (The Virgin Spring) (1960, Unrated)
This is the first Bergman film I watched and focused mostly on the visuals then the dialogue. This film really gets you totally smitten with its charcaters a lot, you see how minimalist the film is, but the development is startling and engaging, you notice a lot between the sisters and you can see how it all goes about. The imagery is top-notch. If you don't understand Swedish and watch this without subtitles, you will be able to know everything just by the images, the frog, the sword and the way the crooks die. This movie, is theatre on film, done brilliantly well. |

I adored this movie a lot as much as I adore other movies by Tim Burton, the movie was exciting and energetic and hugely entertaining and was a fine piece of tragedy very much in the British vein. Every shot was perfection, every character acted well and the blood and the deaths and ultimate denouement were a macabre delight for any fan of tales like this. |

Day of the Dead (1985, Unrated)
Savini must be proud of this, easily matching up with the director in terms of quality and even in terms of output. But Romero did a great job with this film, by using certain old methods of storytelling coupling with this tension built up plot of collision with lots of subtleties not just inmessage but in image. I really liked how ethical questions and even the idea of military versus cicilians was placed here, offering us a 'what if' situation. |

A wonderful movie about a father and his life in the real world, his confusion and it is one movie where the drama was not afected in my opinion and where the images were so beautiful and the lines and the colours just brought out this characteristic glow that fades out, emphasizing the story of a faded actor and his struggles now. |

I would say this was an enjoyable film, gentle and not too distracting and where even though much cliches are utilized, we see what is basically a movie on relationships, a feel good film where the characters are al flawed, all screwed up and then it just becomes a film of how they live. The cliches were distracting, but to be frank I liked it and so I'm biased. |

I love Bertolucci as a director, La Commare Secca was fascinating and this film was cool, pure beauty. |

An ineteresting if very generic film. These kind of films are sweet but the ones that are coming out now also make the audience look like idiots, making it sweet is good, but not if you have to tell jus it's sweet. IT was a nice movie, but it bordered on being pathetic almost. The love for this woman for her dogs was nice but sympathy just swings out of conrol at times. I'll have to think about this. |

I loved this film, not my favourite by this director but it was very exciting nonetheless and the music and the sequences and the way this guy went with his relationships were just so intriguing. The final scene was so strange, the one with the older women, it felt like the entire excitement swinged as it got along and each relationship provided something different, something beautiful and so, a lack of pure love meant a confusing struggle to find it and to search for it. Sentimental but yet so beautiful in its exploration. |

I quite liked this documentary, there's lots of talking but the movie really made it interesting to see punk from a black person's perspective and to know of the differences, a maintenance of culture or a rediscovery whereas for others, it is oppsed to culture of sorts. Nothing brilliant in overall, but a thought-provoking documentary, very personal and subjective. |

This is basically a way to tell this. for a movie that tells little and gives away little, it has the ability to show a lot and makes the audience feel a lot and has the power to plummet and soar the emotions of the spectators and let us grasp a vicissitude of feelings like eros and grotesque and convulsed and repulsed and yet attuned and desiring more. |

Ace in the Hole (The Big Carnival) (1951, Unrated)
What a brilliant story, specifically historical and yet a good tale, weaving, sinister ambitions with cynical good-will. A story of how a man's suffering gets spunned out and sensationalized beyond all bounds. This movie brought the plot out, fleshed it out in perfect story, never was I so intrigued by this. The fall, the rise, and the fall again, a man who pushes emotions away, for the greater good of himself, but it comes ramming right back to him, I |

Outlaw (2007, R)There's something about Bob Hoskins that make me think he's a badass. This film is those Brit films that I love, where we see their gangs and their misdeeds. Very typical, the diologue was expected but the action was not bad, I love th shot of Hoskins when he met the lead for the first time. The hand-held was strangely mezmerizing. |

Sweet Sixteen (2003, R)
I personally found this film utterly fascinating. What I liked is the way the film shows and displays reality, dra matic no less, but that's cause the boy's life is filled with drama and despair. Melodrama in a film like this is not menat to be sensational, but it comes out because of the situation, it sprouts out and so we see it but actually it's not melodrama in genre, but in its essence, if we're to take a Jacques Tati film, it is comedic, the person is comical and the film is imbued with it, but here, the person is a person, a suffering working class person who turns the other cheek to make some cash, I think the criticism, therefore, to say this film suffers from melodrama, it's the actions that are real and we asuume as such it's melodrama, but it's not purposefully led that way and that's what I love about it, the idea of being a voyeur into a man's life, a life which some experience and most don't, and Ken Loach made it a very gripping watch indeed. |

I found the way Fuller uses dialogue to be extremely fun. The way he mentions the face, and anything on the face, like ' I can see it in your face ' and stuff like that. I quite like how he uses that and brings this rather low-budget thriller with a not so entirely satisfying twist to life for the most part and even divert its tale. |

Vengeance Is Mine (1979, Unrated)
Extremely difficult film, its rapid transition for the audience to be sympathetic and to be disgusted is one reason that this film holds me very strongly, its inability to even answer why he kills is more disturbing in that there is absolutely nothing, no connection except the will and need to kill and to be just someone averse to everything. Even the only most sympathetic moment for the character, which is seen early on when he was younger, has no link or even rational connection to his later murders and it could just be an apathy derived from this world that constantly breaks its own rules, from the Japanese soldier in WWII to his father's incestuous-by-law affair. |

Duelle: Une Quarantaine (Twilight: A Quarantine) (1976, Unrated)
This movie is just so stunning. I was heavily mezmerized by every action all the way till the end, it was seriously a very difficult to grasp concept when I saw that you had a movie like this that was placing sci-fi elements and yet had an extrmely down to earth feel virtually in contrast to 'Alphaville'. The script too was so suspicious, it never let out too much information. |

A commercial movie definitely but a highly enjoyable one, it is a straight up Hollywood movie, but it is just so nice and great to watch, something that can looked up at even in later times. The scene where she scolds the mother from the video and we see her coming out of it, like it is really there, that was pretty cool. |

The Namesake (2006, PG-13)
Maybe being a Punjabi male born outside my original homeland, I can sympathize with this film much more than most people, but personally, I thought this was a beautiful film, it captured the sentiments beautifully, it was clear as day, yet the ravages were apparent underneath the layer, it was really a story about family and the huge gaps there is, the apparent ones and yet the beauty of life as you have it, a movie that is more pragmatic than most sub-continental families would allow, because very few would accept a spouse outside the race, but yet, we really see the beauty of family here, a family drama this is. |

The Hills Have Eyes (1977, R)
This is a really awesome movie. It was absolutely fantastic to see how the suspense was built up and how having a minimal budget, Wes Craven was able to utilize camera techniques to built up the thrills and raw suspense. The shots outdoors, particularly those early on, like the way the camera jilts and moves off was very simple but highly effective. |

I thought the propaganda in the film, a little silly, but it all seems very nice. It comes out smooth and the film is epic in away, the sacrifice of one man's love for a greater cause, or to discard what was never there, a woman who just needed some comfort when she heard her husband's death. The polarity is really fascinating. It is just fascinating, how Bogart was willing to take a bullet as he had nothing to live for and the Nazi took a bullet, assuming nothing of the threat, one believed, the other did not. |

The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007, PG)
Not the best but it was very fun. It was very over-done at parts, I did not understand why when a movie like this, the emotional content is being pulled beyond it value. It could be the adaptation process or the idea of selling it to a bigger audience, requiring it to be bare but suffice. The boy was rarely if ever annoying, which is good. |

I Coltelli del vendicatore (Bladestorm)(Knives of the Avenger)(Viking Massacre) (1966, Unrated)
A tale of revenge, sword-throwin style. This was really a fascinating movie by Bava, the weay he develops and eventually shows the character is really interesting, I don think the entire movie is innovative other than being shot outdoors a lot, which happened in one of the sequences too in Tre Volti I Paura, but there there was a strong Gothic feel, here, it is more brutal, more suspense orientated and really exciting and cool. |

Black Sabbath (I Tre volti della paura) (The Three Faces of Fear) (The Three Faces of Terror) (1963, Unrated)
A brilliant horror flick, the first one is like a thriller, not brilliant but still very good, the next is expressionistic Gothic horror and the last is spine-tingling creepy. They don't follow a plot just a smooth rhythm, a basic story and let the emotions work it out. Another great effort from Mario Bava, well-arranged too. |

Atonement (2007, R)
I love the way that the tragedy of this story was so subtle and very fitting to the tile in a avey ironic sense. It does not alude to an actual atonement which I expected but more of a personal satisfaction. I must say that the structure and the devise of the narrative of this film was done in a manner utterly cinematic and that keeps the beauty of the text and the raw emotions of the screen. This film captured some gorgeous images and brought out in me feelings I never could have imagined. |

Tideland (2006, R)
Beautiful. my favourite by a great director. I love the way the child's passion is discovered and played out in a fantastical world that is disjointed and that relates to a child of such where the mother refuses chocalte and father needs heroin. I loved seeing how she made the best of it and discovered adulthood early. It is a world I sympathize with fully and love with all my heart and this is definitely one of my favourite films. |

I found this to be very quaint, extremely different from his other films but very well-handled, the transition and the paciong and the dialogue and how the characters bloomed and yet kept their strange qualities, a fun film, propagandic yes, but utterly delightful altogether to watch and Matgaret Lockwood is a stunner. |

The Circle (Dayereh) (2001, R)
An amazing film, where the struggles of the female is juxtaposed with the life as it is in Iran. A harsh and brutal depiction, where scenes continue with little happening and where action is minimal but powerful and the theme, of destruction by subjugation flows outwardly vey beautifullly. A film I love very much. |
