Tokyo Godfathers
PG-13
Tokyo Godfathers is a good movie, but it's probably the weakest of Satoshi Kon's films. I don't know if I've outgrown anime, because Paprika elicited a similar underwhelmed reaction, or if I just managed to watch all his best work before the bookend stuff. This for sure has its moments, like the stunning climax (which gets immediately undercut by the lame ending), and Kon has put together a lovable ensemble of characters. But it's a huge tonal mismatch, for one. A Christmas comedy about three vagrants and a dumpster baby...followed by an insane woman trying to kill herself and said baby after kidnapping it from the hospital? Uh, I could imagine this causing some discomfort if you showed it at your next holiday party.
This just doesn't hit like the rest of Kon's work does. Anime is a medium that can parlay a lack of focus into tonal strength since it's so visual/multisensory. The more you're getting the better, pretty much. Tokyo Godfathers, unlike Kon's other films, does not have the narrative required to take advantage of this. Simply put: it's done a disservice by being an anime.
Worth watching, but if you've already seen Millennium Actress or Perfect Blue, you've gotten the best of Kon.
Jeffrey
R
This shit sucks. It's just as sexually compartmentalizing as The Birdcage was, only from the other end of the spectrum and about half as cleverly.
I don't feel like saying any more.
Videodrome
R
I totally dug this and I have a ton to say about it but I also have a splitting headache so now it is time for sleep.
Night of the Creeps
R
Not scary. Not funny, either in a cheesy or clever way. Not interesting, not dramatic, not visually gripping. The protagonist has absolutely nothing going for him. His love interest is not cute. His buddy is not amusing, nor is the detective in charge of the case. Even the jump scares fail. There's really no reason to watch this.
The Birdcage
R
This is a pretty damn funny movie, but a little dangerous in that it courts all sorts of gay stereotypes without even attempting to break the mold. I think viewers who are LGBT-savvy will probably laugh more at it than with it for its relative ignorance - Nathan Lane plays gay so over-the-top that the returns diminish very quickly and the whole thing starts to get sort of awkward.
My diversity in film teacher made some interesting observations about how safe The Birdcage is for a large portion of the movie-going public. It compartmentalizes the gays and the straights, no homosexual affection is really depicted short of handholding and quick kisses, and it offers up a Guess Who's Coming to Dinner-style ending where the relief of tensions seems superficial at best. Not much is learned here by either party. And the son is a real douche.
Anyway, I guess this is a funny comedy if you can bring yourself to look at this one tiny, often-lampooned aspect of gay life for an hour and a half.
Sleuth
R
In Susan Sontag's awesome essay "Notes on Camp", she makes the suggestion that camp is born when the execution of something fails to meet its ambitions. If you choose to agree with this, Sleuth is an absolutely perfect example of it.
Consider first its source material. The original Sleuth, which in itself was an adaptation of a play, was highly literate and a little bit stuffy but incredibly clever nonetheless. This makes many of the same bids at intelligence while excising that stuffiness, but when it deviates from the original movie, it fails horrifically. The last twenty minutes, for instance, are new: a psychosexual pissing contest that tries to be mentally probing but just ends up laughable and vaguely smutty instead. It's like Basic Instinct's gay leftovers. And just like Basic Instinct, this is trash masquerading as brilliance, living under the impression that being dialogue-driven automatically lends it intellectual credibility. The result is something you feel a little embarrassed for as you watch.
But the movie isn't unwatchable - it's just very different and enjoyable on a separate level from the original Sleuth. The set design is neat, opting for a sort of technological utopia versus the eerie toyhouse of the first movie. There's something very interesting about the directorial decisions Kenneth Branagh makes: he rarely films the actors face-on. There are a multitude of above-the-head shots, or shots via surveillance cameras, or shots interlaced by blinds. Michael Caine and Jude Law rarely appear in the frame together. I wasn't really sure why he was playing around with the cinematography so much, until I read a review that suggested he was trying to meta the whole movie. Remind us that it was a big theatrical mess. I totally understand that, because there are a few bits of dialogue that sort of take the piss out of the whole thing.
As for the participants themselves...Michael Caine, playing the role he played against in the first movie, is obviously having a good time. There's a lot for him to do here: he gets to be devious, arrogant, bemused, terrified, lovelorn, gayyy, murderous. It's an overly theatrical dream! Jude Law can't really match stride, and I get the feeling he was taking the whole thing more seriously, but damn if he isn't bangin'. His hair is gross-looking and he weighs about 90 pounds soaking wet, but I would nail that. He kind of fits in with the lurid trampiness of the whole affair. So I forgive him his diminished understanding.
Anyway, Sleuth is a really big but entirely entertaining mess. I understand why it didn't get much of a theatrical run, because there's no audience for this kind of movie. Still, I imagine it'll get rediscovered ten years from now by people who are looking for ignored "clash of the movie stars!!!" flicks that are full of camp sensibilities. Sleuth does a great job filling those shoes.

Last Life in the Universe

I cannot imagine a romance film that is more sincere or subdued. It's like watching every good dream you've ever had unfurl on the screen.
3.
Sideways
R
I don't really think I'm the right age group to be able to appreciate this film completely, but I can tell a fantastic performance and a tight screenplay when I see one. I'll probably end up watching this again in 20 years and wondering where all the time has gone.
4.
Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru)
Unrated
It's substantial without being dense, stylish without being pretentious and a delightful dark-comedy romp. Easily one of the best things Japan has ever produced. (Seen it seven times!)
5.
Scream
R
It's the world's most self-aware slasher! The movie has a brain, which is a claim that about 2% of the films in this genre can make, and an acerbic sense of humor.
6.
The Shawshank Redemption
R
Saw it for the first time about two weeks ago. It was amazing. The production is a little bit too slick but that hardly matters with a holeless script, superb performances and a numbingly oppressive atmosphere. It's the first time I've ever found myself rooting for convicted murderers.

The Savages
by DanielThe Savages is a near-perfectly made, flawlessly acted gem. Suddenly forced into 'real life' at 42 and 39 years of age, siblings Jon and Wendy have to care for their estranged father, who has developed dementia. A simple, character-driven story dealing with a messy subject in a subtle, intelligent and cathartic way that pulls none of its punches and never wallows in sentimentality. Refreshingly told with beautiful camera work and filled with truthful observations, melancholy, black humor and poignancy, this is just a wonderful film. It's essentially a two-hander (though unusually we do also see things from the father's perspective sometimes), with Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman never putting a foot wrong. The Savages reminded me very much of Alexander Payne's About Schmidt and Sideways (and Payne is one of the Exec Producers) - not just in terms of style but in substance too. Definitely worthy of your time.

The Dark Knight
by RickHoly fucking shit, this was the greatest 152 minutes of my life. It's an insanely epic masterpiece and I loved every fucking minute of it. It's the greatest and most perfect comic book movie to ever be made and it makes any others obsolete. I got all I hoped for and more. Not many comic book movies have exceeded my expectations but this has. Christopher Nolan is a GOD. Yes, I'm a psychotic, obsessive fanboy and I don't care what any of you pretentious, pedantic film snobs think. This is my favorite movie.
Dude, Heath Ledger is a fucking force of nature and he's truly terrifying as all hell. I just love all the character's little nuances. He totally obliterates Jack's Joker in every single way. He makes Jack look like a child. He fucking owns this movie. He has indelibly left his mark on comic and cinema fans forever. If he doesn't get an Oscar, you can bet your ass I'll be boycotting. Believe it.
The rest of the cast is fantastic, as well. Bale's the fucking man. He always brings a stellar performance. His Bruce Wayne is perfect and his Batman kicks ass. Aaron Eckhart is a treat as Harvey Dent and his Two-Face is disgustingly good. Gary Oldman is a fucking badass. He was born to play Gordon. Michael Caine is charmingly splendid, as always. Maggie Gyllenhaal does a really good job too. She actually brings some credibility and respectability to the role, unlike the generic Katie Holmes.
The atmosphere of this movie is amazingly surreal, it feels like a living, breathing comic book and the action is fucking balls to wall insane. The ending is bleak as hell but it's awesome. I wonder how Nolan and Co. are going to top this, it seems like an impossible feat. If they even come close to the sheer awesomeness of this I'll eat my shoe. Oh, and did I mention it's awesome?
Fuck Superman. Fuck Spider-Man. Batman is the shit.SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sexy Beast
by mayathis one was kind of uneven for me even though i ultimately really enjoyed it. here are the pros: ben kingsley is by far one of the most conscientious, impeccable actors i have ever seen. his performance is one of the most chilling and expertly executed portrayals of a professional criminal. i almost pissed myself i was so scared of him. the film is beautifully shot, and the bunny is fucking awesome.
the cons: the plot and the way the story was told was kind of unbalanced and there were a couple choice shots that kind of confused me.
the dialog was hard to follow.
ultimately kingsley made up for all of the little faults i had by being so bad ass and so absolutely terrifying.Hey, you should really see this!

They Call Me Trinity
by Iris'This was a quiet town before you came in. Disgusting, but quiet.'
A typical Bud Spencer/Terence Hill flick, relying on comic action rather than the gunshots and tension some Westerns prefer. Not sure what I should call it, really.
Though not actually a fan of the genre (Westerns, I mean) I actually enjoyed this one. It's not what you'd deem an intellectual movie, but
both the mains have experience in this type of film. There is something highly amusing about the fact that Bud Spencer's facial expression rarely changes.
And taking the piss out of Mormon fanatics (any religious fanatics, come to think of it) scores with me.
P.S. I finally found the term. It's called a 'Spaghetti Western'.Take a look if you're into Westerns or either of the mains.

The Incredible Hulk
by IlyaThe Incredible Hulk (2008)
Directed by Louis Leterrier
Starring Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson, Ty Burrell«Bruce Banner: [in a poor Portuguese] Don't make me hungry. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry.
Tough Guy Leader: [in Portuguese] What the hell he is talking about?»A story of a man who randomly transforms into a green monster when his anger level reaches the top, his love affair with the daughter of his worst enemy, and a life search for the cure that will bring him his normal life back. Compared to previous Hulk movie, The Incredible Hulk concentrates on the special effects rather than a story, but this time it includes some fairly good acting, however it shows a lack of a good script and just looks extremely dull.First of all, it is important to mention that instead of Eric Bana we have Edward Norton playing Bruce Banner/Hulk. In my opinion, Norton suits the role, while Bana looks a little bit out of place. A great performance from Ed Norton, great character development and amazing acting, but because the script wasn't that good, we didn't really get to see the best of him. I wasn't particularly happy with Liv Tyler's acting; she lacked any kind of human sense and seemed a bit too ordinary for her role. I don't know why the director chose her for this film, as I can see any other person doing a much better job. I was really impressed by Tim Roth's performance which was perhaps second best in this film. His character was a tricky one, but the fact that he and his character were English helped him a lot. Still, he looked really professional and suited his role perfectly, a sort of a bad guy we wouldn't want to meet in real live. William Hurt was ok, even though he seems to overact a little bit. Tim Blake Nelson and Ty Burrell both did well in their minor roles.
The special effects were really great, the whole chasing scene were fascinating to watch, even though it looked like a poor copy of the Bourne Ultimatum scene. The final battle scene was probably the most memorable bit of special effects in this movie, and I have to admit it looked great. But mostly we have a typical battle between military guys and the Hulk himself, so it does lack originality.
The main problem of this film is: it is a rather dull movie. Yes there is all the chasing and fighting going on, but it just didn't look fun enough. Here we have Peter Parker cracking jokes in all three Spider-Man movies, Tony Stark making sarcastic remarks and looking all cocky and flamboyant in Iron Man, Bruce Wayne just looking bad ass in his batman costume and always smiling in Batman Begins, and even Fantastic Four movies managed to entertain many kids around the world. Incredible Hulk on the other hand had a guy who was trying to find a cure that will help him get rid of his super powers, when he could just try and use his power to help people. Also, it's not his fault that he can't use his powers, he simply can't control them, and therefore it is a bad thing in this movie. The whole movie just looked boring, dull and not entertaining what so ever. We have to enjoy this bit of special effects that has been offered to us just to make sure that we don't fall asleep while watching the rest of the film.
The story development was handled badly. The first 10 minutes that included literally the whole of the first movie looked rushed and pointless. Main characters were left in shadow, and at some point I found Tim Roth's character more developed than Bruce Banner himself. It is hard to understand what's actually going on in some parts of the movie, and everything just seem to happen way too fast, especially the action scenes.
Overall The Incredible Hulk was a bit of an improvement since the last Hulk movie, but still it wasn't nothing like the recent Iron Man movie. It's more of a movie that has been made specifically for the die hard fans of the Hulk and I am sure they will enjoy it, but for everybody else though, it may look not as great as the likes of Batman Begins and even Spider-Man.

Dodgeball - A True Underdog Story
by IlyaDodgeball (2004)
Directed By Rawson Marshall Thurber
Starring Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Rip Torn, Justin Long, Stephen Root, Joel Moore, Chris Williams, Alan Tudyk, Missi Pyle«Patches O'Houlihan: If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
Justin: What?
[Patches throws a wrench and hits Justin in the face]»Peter LaFleur (Vaughn) is the laid-back owner of Average Joes, a failing gym with a handful of loyal, but eccentric, members, including Steve the Pirate (Tudyk), Justin (Long), Gordon (Root), and employees Dwight (Williams) and Owen (Moore). His rival, White Goodman (Stiller), owner of the glamorous Globo-Gym located across the street, has purchased Average Joe's defaulted mortgage, meaning that Peter must raise $50,000 in 30 days in order to redeem the equity of redemption on the about-to-be-foreclosed mortgage, or else Goodman will successfully foreclose upon Average Joe's Gym and demolish it for a parking garage. Working on this transaction is attorney Kate Veatch (Taylor), whom White attempts, and fails, to charm, although she and Peter develop a friendship despite her role in his business troubles. After various half-hearted attempts at money-raising fail, Gordon declares that they can win the money needed to pay the redemption costs by winning a dodgeball competition in Las Vegas, and begin to train to enter the tournament.Dodgeball is a typical brainless comedy; only difference is its all about dodgeball. It is about Vince Vaughn's character called Peter, who is desperate to save his gym by collecting $50,000 by winning a dodgeball competition. It is important to notice that Vince did well, a good solid performance from him, but nothing special really. Ben Stiller played the villain, a guy called White, who bought Peter's gym and now trying to stop him from retaining his gym back. Stiller gave a great performance, his character was a typical evil guy, who just wants to make a good guy suffer; a bit like in any superhero movie, only in this film he is interesting in purchasing Peters gym. Christine Taylor plays a woman who is working on the transaction of Peter's gym; both slowly start finding each other attractive. I didn't really enjoy Christine's performance, she and Vaughn didn't have any mixture between them and they just looked bad together, but love is not the whole point of this movie so it didn't really matter. The rest of the actors did well, everyone who played the members of the Average Joes gym/dodgeball team were good and a special praise goes to Missi Pyle for creating a completely unforgettable character.
There is not much to say about this movie, it's a typical comedy that you don't have to understand or to think about deeply, just watch and enjoy it. Some scenes and dialogues were hilarious, but overall you won't get anything else from this movie. I feel exactly the same as Stiller's character in the end of the movie: most of American movies end up with a happy ending, and that is why movies like that will never make it to the top of the movie business. It doesn't mean they are pointless, it means that they are rather simple and mostly predictable.

Goya's Ghosts (Los Fantasmas de Goya)
by IrisThere was a long debate between myself and others why this film is called Goya's Ghosts. Sure, Goya features often, but it's not really about him. It's more that he is the artist whose eyes and art the story is seen through.
Though it portrays a brutal era in history, the movie is (refreshingly) only moderately violent. It doesn't delve deep into Goya's life or the Inquisition, but it would appear to be historically accurate.
It really works due to Javier Bardem. His character, Father Lorenzo, screws people over to a large extent, yet he brings the character across with such emotion that in the end, the viewer is sympathetic.
Worth your time, worth your money, but it lacks something. I'll be sure to inform you as soon as I figure it out myself.May appeal to some more than others. Depends largely on taste. (Apologies to those who have already seen it)

Hulk
by IlyaHulk (2003)
Directed by Ang Lee
Starring Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, Nick Nolte, Josh Lucas«Bruce Banner: You're making me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.»
David Banner is a genetics researcher who experiments on himself, trying to improve human DNA. Once his wife gives birth to their son Bruce, David realizes attempts to find a cure for the child's condition when the government, represented by Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross, shuts down his research after learning of his dangerous experiment. David, in a fit of rage, causes a massive explosion of the facilities' gamma reactor, and accidentally kills his wife. He is then put into a mental hospital, while 4-year old Bruce is sent into foster care and adopted, taking on the last name of Krenzler, believing his biological parents are deceased. The events leave Bruce unable to conjure the memories into reality.Many people expect this film to be a typical action flick with numerous fighting scenes involving Hulk going on the rampage and destroying everything on his way. Well, it did happen but to add more to that, Ang Lee showed a much deeper version of Hulk; a story that involves his family issues and the main fear of his father. He creates a fear factor for this film, much like In Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins only this one involves his father, a man called David Banner who is a typical megalomaniac with the original "monster gene" in his blood. While Batman Begins turned out to be a great success, Hulk is mainly known as a failure and perhaps the worst super hero movie ever. Most people find it boring and dull, and many people say it is way too long. I believe that Hulk is a success in some sort of way but it's that kind of film that looked very promising but wasn't good enough to please the audience.
For me Eric Bana wasn't the guy to play this kind of role, I agree he handled it well and he can act but I just cannot imagine him playing a scientist who turns into a giant green monster. You need somebody who looks like Banner and Eric Bana is not that guy. On the other hand all the other people perfectly matched with their roles; Jennifer Connelly was amazing, a really talented actress who can act extremely well no matter what kind of role she has been given. Nick Nolte also does extremely well, one of his best performances. Sam Elliott and Josh Lucas also did well with their minor roles.
The way this film builds up is great, especially the Climax and the Cliffhanger in the end. It seems to be rather long, and I have to admit it should have been ½ an hour shorter, than perhaps it would have been much more popular. The reason why this film is good is because Ang Lee is actually trying to tackle the story, rather than give us lots of brainless visual effects. The film is somewhat sad and tragic; it is a typical heartbreaker movie. The problem is, There are too many things going on in the film: main one is Bruce trying to save his fiancée Betty Ross, General Ross who is stuck between his job and his daughter trying to catch David Banner-his ultimate enemy, David Banner who is trying to get the sample of his sons blood, also, we don't exactly know if he is trying to save his son or he is just trying to find a way to gain power and his son's abilities. Than there is this guy who constantly angers Bruce and to top this up there is the whole story of what happened to Bruce when he was 4. All this is complicated but it was largely helped by the fact that this film was a bit like a comic book: screen keep on breaking into different boxes which kind of gives it a typical comic book style. The main thing in this film is an issue between Bruce and his unknown father, and a lack of communication between Betty and her father who is always puts his job in front of his family. They both have issues with their parents and it is a great material for creating a story.
I am not surprised the film is so long; like I said, there is lots of things happening, which could have been prevented by making the film shorter or simply by breaking it into different bits. I also find this film rather dark and scary, way scarier than some of the other superhero movies. Like I mentioned before, it is a bit like Batman Begins, but obviously not that superior or famous. It is also not that comical either, notice you don't get that much humor in this movie compared to all the other superhero movies like Spider-Man or Fantastic Four.
Hulk is simply something more than a typical superhero movie, it has a great story, some really good acting and good special effects but the audience just wanted their favorite green monster to run around, destroying cities and fighting some military guys. People find it rather boring, and I wouldn't be surprised; some bits are really necessary and probably make this film look bad, but I don't think that it is bad, I think it has some errors in it, but overall it's good and its really underrated, definitely a film that many people should watch and admire.

Apocalypto
by IrisA triumph, but flawed.
The beginning is rather irritating, what with the endless screaming. But, half an hour in, the standards soar. The Mayans were a brutal civilization, so those who complained of 'unnecessary violence' should simply have picked a different movie.
Rudy Youngblood is going places, that's for sure. Though without great lines, he brings tragedy and a sense of suffering to his character, which few others could have done. The script itself is a bit dodgy at select times, but overall decent acting prevented disaster.
Riveting and charged with emotion, it's surely a sign that Mel Gibson has a promising career ahead.I "recommend" because enjoyment is largely down to taste. But if you enjoy action with a bit of sentiment, this is for you.
