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.

Looking at this movie, you'd feel History is alive and Hitler is living, as is hsown and lets you participate in his death. The other parts on Goebbels and his family is amazing too. Everything is great about this film.

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.

I loved this film, the whole settings and everything about this film is still heavy in my mind, beautiful visual images and the story is decadent and extravagant at the same time.

Amazing, one of the most amazingly beautiful and emotionally challenginfg films I've seen in a long time. Words can't describe the striking simplicity of this film but the strong emotions that continues to rage and yet kept so subtle is absolutely unique.

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.

The House on the Edge of the Park 5.0 Stars
I don't know, this film has a charm to it, a very disturbing charm. The razor scenes were very difficult for me to see. I was cringing literally. The movie is fascinating, it has, I don't know, this brilliant plot-twist and revenge side-story but an interesting tale of loyalty and social issues too. The rich kids play around and the poor get offended to a point where they really get annoyed. You get David Hess protecting his dim-witted friend and doing what he can of him. Disturbing it is, it is also intriguing.

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 5.0 Stars
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.

Brute Force (1947,  G)
Brute Force 5.0 Stars
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.

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.

Memories of Underdevelopment (1968) 5.0 Stars
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.

Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno) 5.0 Stars
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'/

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.

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.

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.

I will not say this was a great or brilliant movie, but its special effects were pretty nice. I loved the entire miniatures for some reason. the tale was a typical one, using set-ups, plants, pay-offs and all the usual narrative methods to work.

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.

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.

I will say this about this film. It is a Hollywood fare and I could guess every scene about this film before it happened, pre-empt, especially the last cab scene. It is a fascinating thriller even if the weaving is very expected, and I was at times amazed by the acting.

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 5.0 Stars
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.

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.
