Aaron's Recent Reviews

Tomorrow We Move Tomorrow We Move Unrated 2.5 Stars
Funny in a french way. I could my lungs constricting from all the visual dust...
Match Point Match Point R 4.0 Stars
The subtly funny dialog and stellar acting (read pouting) do the film justice, though the end is morally disappointing.
Beyond The Clouds Beyond The Clouds Unrated 2.0 Stars
the mist is surreal, and casts a spell, a sleeping spell that is. largely a disappointment, given that it was Antonioni's last
Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno) Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno) R 4.0 Stars
The imagery of interplayed fantasy-realism is picturesque, and the acting solid. But between the worse-than-nazi Kapitan and the palm-eyed "Pale Man" -- this movie is the kind of stuff nightmares are made of -- and will probably bright about a few, in both children & adults
Wanted Wanted R 3.0 Stars
The slow-mo bullets and beta-blocked heartbeats get cliched very quickly, but who's watching the show for McAvoy :D
Le Amiche Le Amiche Unrated 4.5 Stars
Excellent italian chick flick noir

Aaron's Favorite Movies

Casablanca 1. Casablanca Unrated 5.0 Stars
This could be the start of a beautiful friendship... Witty, intense, self-sacrificial, what more could a classic love story ask for
The Legend of 1900 2. The Legend of 1900 R 5.0 Stars
Music, Melancholy, Art Deco, and a whole lot of humor thrown in too. Morricone & Roth are geniuses
The Shawshank Redemption 3. The Shawshank Redemption R 5.0 Stars
Remember, Red, Hope is a Very good thing... and this movie gives you plenty
Moulin Rouge! 4. Moulin Rouge! PG-13 5.0 Stars
It's a little bit funny... Come what may, I will rewatch this... until my croaking day...
Ratatouille 5. Ratatouille G 5.0 Stars
Like Gustave's this beautufully rendered tail deserves a Michelin 5-star ratating... Definitely best show I've watched this year, with all the rat elements of family squibbles, action/adventure, suspense, humor, and perhaps too happy an ending, but hey, don't we wish all parisian romances had it?
Three Colors: Blue (Trois couleurs: Bleu) 6. Three Colors: Blue (Trois couleurs: Bleu) R 5.0 Stars
Priesner & Kieslowski's best -- my introduction into the world of euro-arthouse, and i've never looked back. The stirring theme symphony grows on you

    Enjoyable if predictable tale of two men linked forever to the past. "Falls" short in the end.
    If you are a big fan of either costar you will probably enjoy this one.

    Same story but a different approach from the 2007 version. While the latter is visually appealing, the former's dialogue is superior, which goes a long way to explaining the motives and actions of the principals better.

    I enjoyed this unusual look at the life of a superhero. Will Smith is great as Hancock. Nice twist too, I didn't see that coming. Recommended.

    4.0 Stars by Mark
    Thought this film did a good job of portraying the events that ultimately led to England breaking with the Catholic Church. I also rented, by mistake, the BBC version. Will be interested to see how they compare. Although at face value this version seems to be accurate concerning the basic facts.

    Ed Harris and Samuel Jackson are the only bright "spots". Predictable and oversanitized.
    Hey, you might want to skip this one. If you love Ed Harris or Samuel Jackson maybe put it at the bottom of the "to-see" list.

    The touching, not sappy or pretentious, story of a little girl who is trying to cope with the death of a parent. Wonderful performances by the children. Strongly recommended.

    There are some holes in the plot, but this is nevertheless a very good film-noir. Recommended to everyone and a must-see for those with an interest in the French New Wave.
