Sadly i have to agree.

I was rather excited to see this movie, i suppose i had some expectation that it would be similar to The Fountain.. which still remains as one of my favorite movies of all time. But i just couldn't move into it, the scenes felt very drawn out, the movie spent a great deal of time trying to establish a connection through the subtleness of the character's actions,emotions and dialogue through some artistic expression that simply did not work.

Im usually the first to defend these types of movies, i love arthouse/independent movies but this didn't resonate with me at all.
 
^i'm a fan of that one. have you seen Amélie, by the same director?

Yes indeed I have. Great film also very quirky. I also like A Very Long Engagement which is a little depressing compared to the other two but great nonetheless. (Also you get to see Audrey Tautous incredibly cute butt ;) lol) Books good to.

do it!

just the way the film is formulated, the journey it takes you on psychologically is worth it, it makes you want to jump up and down for joy!!!
lol

Y tu mamá también

i remember watching trailers for and wanting to see this movie when it first made its way to the states. took me a while to get to it. i would have liked it a lot more if i had seen it back then, at the cusp of my adolescence. it wasn't bad. it's got a good message, there is a lot to do and a lot to miss out on in life. made me wanna get laid. but i often found myself waiting for it to be over.

also. the movie dialogue was chatty and the subtitles were poorly timed. bad combo.

chucked the bluray in last night. i really liked it, engrossing roadmovie. just three people being real. that really long take at the beach bar, when the guys make peace, is really impressive.

Pauline at the Beach

a woody allen movie without any of the humor. with a little bit of noah baumbach thrown in. actually it reminded most of a rohmer film that i actually like, Claire's Knee.

i would have loved a quiet movie about this little girl's beach vacation romance. and for conflict, the relationships of a bunch of self-involved adults, with their pedantic takes on love, somehow becoming entangled with this young, light romance. sounds perfect. and in a sense, that's the film. but despite the pieces being there, it is off. pauline and henri are great; i like the characters and the actress and actor that play each. pierre and marion look and act like dated soap opera characters. the film focuses way too heavily on the adults' boringass, cliche romantic dilemmas. now i think that is in order to provide contrast with the simplicity and beauty of pauline's attractions, but it left too much ugly in the film.

in typical 70/80s fashion, amanda langlet is very exposed for a child actress.

at first the sex is striking, but it takes a back seat to the coming of age drama.

as for woody allen, some of his recent thrillers have been far better than his comedy. cassandra's dream and match point come to mind.

the second film i saw last night was an interesting aussie piece:

not for children.
 
Breathless

another 8/10


thats a lot of not much to comment on.
i love the way Godard portrays girls in his films, they are always so girly, and dreamy and tragic, simple and wise, the airy carrier of the scenes, distracting from scenes often but the key or ultimate relevance for each scene too.

Rembrandt is shown and mentioned, and there are many shots which are perfect portraits, silhouettes of couples. if you dare to start trying to count out heart shapes in shadow play amongst the casts faces or characters reaching, and grabbing each other in random scenes for example, or the end result of geographical/urbanized area camera panning, it is amazing...the camera is almost always at a looong trined angle pulled back - a voyeur...there is a feeling of being hidden, tucked away and watching, or under-the-covers, which the lead-man does seem to in-plant in the viewers mind, with several minutes of hiding himself under the sheets....


"he said, that youre a scumbag...
~ oh, whats a scumbag??"

well said.



Sleeping Beauty is on my list. i try not to read anything about movies before i see them, but i slipped up and reviews had bad things to say about it. still, looks like it could be visually appealing.

lol, i cant believe i never watched this movie until now.... a feel-good nostalgia-inducing cheese-infested good time. it made me a bit uncomfortable/euphoric at times because of the intense memories it induced. it put me in a good mood though :D

Human Traffic
 
Hanna

Hanna

Saoirse Ronan,Cate Blanchette and Eric Bana-directed by Joe Wright and killer soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers. Excellent!!!I loved it.An action/thriller-beautifully directed,with the visual in perfect sync with The Chemicals Brothers beats and 3 fabulous actors.It was much more than I expected.
*** Young Hanna is raised by her father deep in the woods of Finland where for 16 years all he teachers her is "adapt or die"-plus all his cool CIA training-until she decides she is ready for her father to pop back up on the CIA radar so she can avenge her mother's death, when Hanna was just 2,by putting herself directly in the hands of her mother's murder....or so she thinks.

Stay 10/10

The more times i watch it the more i fall in love with this masterpiece of cinema, i've never seen a film so well-tied together with all its subtleness and abstract cinematography... music from massive attack also really adds to the dimension of the movie, one of those films where watching it a second time is actually more captivating then the first.
 
Went and saw The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. While the movie didn't outright suck, it didn't rate nearly as high in my book as the others (which isn't very high). The movie had a lot more blood/gore than the others, which I was not expecting. Also was not expecting all the make-out scenes.

I'd give it a 2, maybe a 2.5, out of 4.
 
i tried to watch bridesmaids cuz i was quite drunk, but then i was too drunk and passed out.
