Everyone Says I Love You - R

A Woody Allen musical? This is a must-see in my book! Really campy. Love it.

Shortbus - Unrated

One the best movies of 2006 in my opinion. *Not at all* graphic - just honest. And finally, an indie that dares to have ideals and optimism!

Memoirs of My Nervous Illness - Unrated

Not as weird as it could've (should've?) been, given it's subject matter, but still worth it if you like Freudian dramas. Tight and well-paced.

Unconscious - Unrated

This is just a really good time -- and you don't have the guilty "I-just-wasted-90min-watching-stupidity" feeling as with most comedies. The editing and dialogue are sharp, and it's very witty. Plus it's a satire on psychoanalysis, which I always welcome.

Lots of psycho-babble. But Paris looks awesome and Jamel and Rie are hot.

Before Sunset - R

One of my all-time favorite romances - maybe #1. It's talky and smart, really well-conceived. Should've won the Oscar for the screenplay.

I *cannot believe* I liked this movie. But it was HILARIOUS. Although, not "a metaphor for the moral confusion of our time" or whatever the Times said it was.

Thrilling. The best part about it is its refusal to tell you the backstory until the very end.

Emotionally flat. But I love movies about rich people who are attractive and live in beautiful cities.

The Namesake - PG-13

Okay. So I typically think movies about people "finding their culture" are unimaginative, but this is just so well shot and the themes so intricate that it's impossible not to love it.

The Last King of Scotland - R

Forest Whitaker's amazing blah blah blah. Good plot yada yada. The second-to-last scene, though? With the hooks? Almost ruined the movie for me. I'm sorry. I'm just queezy.

Killer of Sheep - Unrated

Beautiful. Feels very retro (because it is), but the shots of ghetto LA left me shocked - it's like a war zone. And imagine that children still manage to find beauty in it all. The final image is amazing and very powerful.

Inland Empire - R

I was hopping mad after I left this movie. The most angry I've every been at any movie I'd ever seen. Then I realized, any movie that elicits so much emotion is saying something important about life and narrative. What it's saying though, who knows? Who cares. Just sit back and watch how crazy things get.

I love how stubborn this movie is. Perhaps we never really know what motivates people who try to kill. Thank God there's a movie out there that doesn't try to psychologize.

If you can see this movie with live narration, foley artists, orchestra and castrato, DO IT! It was worth $30. It feels really fresh, the images are gorgeous, as is the score, and the story is engaging. I love this movie!

Brilliant. No one in this movie is wholly good or bad, everyone's flawed but sympathetic. Any movie that can make me like a suburban (European) biz man is a great movie.

I refuse to see this movie. There's good indie-quirk (Little Miss Sunshine, Andrew Bujalski) and bad indie-quirk. This is almost certain to be bad indie-quirk.
