WALL-E WALL-E G 4.5 Stars
9/10

What a gamble. What an ingenious risk Pixar has taken this time, making one of the most dark, amazingly poignant animated films ever. I didn't think it possible for Pixar to top last year's fantasitic Ratatouille with yet another complex adult tale told simply threw what's typically considered a children's medium, but they just might have with WALL.E. It's tale is told rather simply (essentially a silent film for more than half an hour) but its themes, message and implications are quite profound. And above all else there is a unrelenting heart at its core sans sentimentality that really hits the film's layered messages home.

A must-see for any lover of film, art, life.
Be Kind Rewind Be Kind Rewind PG-13 3.5 Stars
7/10

Very enjoyable, particularly for cineastes like myself. Worth the 2001 tribute alone, this film reminded me of lesser Woody Allen, not great but you love it anyway. It just made me feel really good. And I laughed alot.

EDIT: Just purchased it on DVD (had to have it). I just know I'll be watching it again and again, it's one of those movies.

2001: A Space Odyssey 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey G 5.0 Stars
10/10 Transcendental. That is the best one word description I can think of for 2001. Beyond Sci-fi or film in general, this is one of the best works of art of all time and just about my favorite film of all time. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us The best works of art tell us about ourselves, first as a collective, as humanity; and second personally, questioning our private existence, our beleifs, our souls and motives. 2001 does this in a way that allows the viewer to think while watching (as opposed to after) and apply the experience of the film deeply and personally, making for one of the most engaging film experiences. 2001 is just that, an experience, it's a movie about everything, transcending all cultural boundaries and yet has no real story or plot. It doesn't need the usual screenplay structure or plot, it is simply beyond this. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Even through all its complex ideas, 2001 finds the time to become a thriller of sorts, including one of the most supenseful sequences in movie history and one of the most chilling villains; the super-computer Hal9000. And with some of the best imagery ever put to celluloid and the perfect soundtrack to go along with it, 2001 is a movie classic, truly trascendental. Stanley Kubrick's magnum opus is a film everyone should watch and experience, regardless of personal tastes as it concerns everyone and anyone.
Les Quatre Cents Coups (The 400 Blows) 2. Les Quatre Cents Coups (The 400 Blows) Unrated 5.0 Stars
10/10 A must see for cine-buffs as well as Art House types, the release of this film marked the beginning of modern cinema (although many would attribute that milestone to Goddard's Breathless) as well as the start of what would become one of cinema's most memorable and enduring actor-director teams, continuing the story of Antoine, making 4 more films together. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Truffaut's masterpiece might be the most pure of all films, if that's even possible. Every time I revisit this film I fall even more in love with it. It's script which is so carefully restrained and calculated. Jean Pierre Leaud, who at 13 was more natural and had more genuine charisma than nearly any of today's leading men. In order to not relate to this movie you'd have to have been born at age 20; one can't help but fall in love with this film. Like Jean Constantin's charming score, The 400 Blows is perfectly simple, the best debut film ever on that side of the Atlantic. Simply perfect. PS. Check out Truffaut's short film Antoine and Colette, the suedo-sequel to The 400 Blows for a nice little follow-up on the teenage life of Antoine Doinel.
L'Eclisse 3. L'Eclisse Unrated 5.0 Stars
10/10 One of my favorite films of all time. The first time I saw this I was left stunned. Michelangelo Antonioni's L'Eclisse is about a woman who's in a state of transition, the transition from an old relationship to a new one (or so it seems). She seems disillusioned with love of course but she's also dissillusioned (even frustrated) with our so-called "civilized" society and how this increasingly mechanized world, along with its steadily accelerated pace, has made love rather impossible. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Every shot of this film could be hung up in any museum and its final sequence is, simply, pure brilliance. It left me stunned. EDIT: Now my 3rd favorite film of all time, I've seen L'Eclisse roughly only four times. And it only gets better and better. Antonioni's genius is immeasurable. Everything in L'Eclisse, the choice of actors, to the set design, to the jarring score, to the hypnotizing cinematography, it's all so deliberate, manipulated and planned to the last degree. And after having seen L'Avventurra and La Notta, the first two films of his "alienation trilogy", I can now see clear thematic connections, with an almost linear pattern (an interesting counterpoint to the individual non-linear narratives of the three films) between the three. L'Eclisse is and will probably always be my favorite of his trilogy and therefore, of all his films.
Vertigo 4. Vertigo PG 5.0 Stars
10/10 More layers than most classic novels, Vertigo is just about the best Hitchcock film of them all and that's saying alot. The best score ever put to film.
Citizen Kane 5. Citizen Kane PG 5.0 Stars
10/10 AFI's #1 film of all time and rightfully so. It's the most IMPORTANT American film ever made and equally entertaining, I've seen it atleast 5 times by now and return to it every now and then to be reminded of just how much one film can accomplish.
Jules and Jim 6. Jules and Jim Unrated 5.0 Stars
10/10 One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Like reading an enthralling and complex work of literature. The ending is both captivating and hopelessly depressing.

    The Thin Red Line The Thin Red Line
    5.0 Stars by edwin
    I first saw Terrence Malick's take on James Jones Novel, The Thin Red Line, the year that it came out. I didn't know what to make of it. Perhaps it was my age, I was younger then, and could not understand it. It wasn't full of battle scenes and gore like Saving Private Ryan. I got bored.

    Since then I've seen the film numerous times; what made me go back and give it another shot I do not know. What I do know, is that The Thin Red Line is the film that turned me onto film. Over the years since the films release I've fell into love with it. In my mind, there are few movies of the 90s that match its greatness. The Thin Red line is frankly a modern masterpiece.

    Like most masterpieces, it is bound to be misunderstood. I can think of very few other films that are filled with such depth and beauty. Like Malick's other films, what you see isn't necessarily what you get. There is an abundance of underlying messages and meaning in the film, making it very difficult to grasp. Also, the films style is strange, having an almost total lack of narrative, making it, as Martin Scorcese put it, an endless picture. The names and voice overs are difficult to distinguish and often indifferent to what is happening on screen, but it's all done for a reason. War has faces and names dropped on you out of nowhere with recruits and the chaotic nature of it all; often people disappear amid the bullets and the carnage, and new faces replace them.

    It has been said that the movie has no main character. This could be true, but there are multiple main characters, similar to the book. Witt, Tall, Welsh, Staros, Bell - all main characters. Perhaps the best way to describe it is to call the whole company, C company, the main character.

    The film follows the company through Guadalcanal, dropping into the lives of various characters here and there, all trying to deal with the war in their own way. It is difficult to get into a descriptive plot outline simply because the film is almost plot less. Those who've read the book will recognize the machinations, but the film was more inspired by the novel, rather than a film version of it. It would be virtually impossible to film the book as it is.

    War is chaos, and the film clearly displays this, and recognizes that war does not ennoble men, it "turns them into dogs. Poisons the Soul." The film focuses more on how those men that are thrust into it try to cope with the dehumanization, all looking for inner peace. The Thin Red Line is filled with beautiful images and beautiful poetry; starkly contrasting the horror of reality. The film also contains one of the most powerful scenes I have ever seen. The scene involves the company charging through the woods looking to attack a Japanse bivouac. They walk through the fog carpeted forest as you hear only the whiz of bullets passing by from seemingly out of nowhere. When they finally reach the site of the attack, the camera moves frantically, chasing soldiers here and there, from the viewpoint of both American and Japanese soldiers. The music in this scene is quite possibly the key to why it becomes so powerful. Another scene, a death scene, haunts me every time i see it.

    The Thin Red Line evokes a sense of tranquility in the middle of chaos, and begs questions that may possibly never be answered, but need to be asked nonetheless. The late Gene Siskel called the film on its release "the finest contemporary war film." The film is still misunderstood years later, but its popularity is growing and its finally becoming regarded as a masterpiece. Martin Scorcese has called this the second best film of the 90s- it should be noted that the film he chose as number 1, was made in the 80s, it just never gained popularity in North America until the 90s.

    Unlike films like Saving Private Ryan, who's repeat viewings offer nothing new, you can watch The Thin Red Line time after time after time, and see a different film every time.

    This film touched me personally. It showed me that film was more than entertainment - it not only is legitimate are, but the ultimate medium for it.
    A film that has divided many, upon release and still today. It divided me. I thought it was stupid and boring when i first saw it. Then I got older, a little wiser. I watched it again for reasons that are still beyond my grasp. I fell in love, and I revisit that love often. This is the film that taught me to appreciate the art of filmmaking. For that reason, The Thin Red Line is the film which touches me perhaps the deepest of all others.

    Get Smart Get Smart
    2.5 Stars by edwin
    Would you believe... that Get Smart just barely misses it.... by that much.
    I struggled with grading the film adaptation of the classic TV spy spoof. On the one hand, I felt like it just didn`t flow. On the other, there are some very funny moments, and Steve Carell simply nails Maxwell Smart. I couldn`t believe it could even be done, with the iconic status of Don Adams`character, but by god Carell gets it. That alone is worth a viewing.
    The film version starts just before the beginning of Max`s career as an agent. He works for Control as one of their best analysts. He has all the skills to be an agent, but the Chief (Alan Arkin) informs him that he`s just too useful as an analyst. Things change however when Control HQ is attacked, and the identities of all agents in the field are recovered, save for 99, who has just had an extreme facial reconstruction. The Chief has no other option but to put Max in the field, and his dream comes true.
    From there the two globe trot to Russia, in search of nuclear weaponry and the Chaos agents who are behind the attack on Control. That basically sets up the plot for what follows. The story moves with some twists and turns, and some suprisingly spectacular stunt work.
    In addition to Carell`s wonderful portrayal of Max, Alan Arkin as the Chief is also great. He is the other big highlight of the film, alongside Carell and the stunt work. Dwayne `The Rock`Johnson and Anne Hathaway are more or less just sufficient in their roles, despite Hathaway of course looking gorgeous. She doesn`t really feel like she is 99.
    The problem with the movie si that it sometimes falls into childishness humor, and certain jokes just aren`t that funny to begin with. On the other hands, there are some great moments of wry comic banter, such as a scene where Max, undercover, meets a top chaos agent (Terrence Stamp).

    I can`t for the life of me tell you not to see Get Smart, and it`s almost impossible to dissuade you from seeing it in the theatre considering all the effort that went into the great actions scenes. My advice: rent it, and watch it on the biggest TV screen on your block.
    I will also say this: if Get Smart becomes a franchise, it has all the tools it needs to become very good. As long as Carell and Arkin reprise their roles, I will buy a ticket in hopes of a better screenplay.
    Sorry about this one, Chief.
    I almost gave this a positive review simply for Carell, Arkin, and the stunt work, but alas I could not. My guilty pleasure was used up on The Happening.
    My advice, wait for the DVD and watch it on the biggest TV screen on your block.
    If they make another one, I seriously hope to see a better screenplay. The ingredients are there, they just need to be mixed properly.

    The New World The New World
    5.0 Stars by edwin
    Terrence Malick's fourth film in thirty-two years is 'The New World.' It's based upon the John Smith/Pocahontas tales, but this is no live action Disney production. Malick wrote the script back in the 70's and finally puts it on film here in 2005(6).

    Pocahontas is played by newcomer Q'orianka Kilcher, in a wonderful turn as Pochahontas. Colin Farrell, plays John Smith, doing probably his strong work. And of no big surprise, Christian Bale also does some of his best work here playing the future husband of Pocahontas (or Rebbecca as the English rename her). None of the actors here really have a lot of dialog to work with, so Malick has them express and convey their emotions through body language. It works to magnificently. Some people clearly were bored with the movie due to this reason, but this isn't your average film. It reaches out and wants to make you feel like you are really there. And the fact that there is little dialog, outside of Malick's trademark voice overs, makes this possible. You don't have overly talky situations in real life, and often the most meaningful gestures are expressed without words. Nothing is said here for the purpose of filler.

    Just like every other Malick film, 'The New World' is chalk full of symbolism. Just as every word spoken on screen is full of meaning, every image Malick inserts in his film means something. Most movies take the easy way out and explain these things for you in the end. Not Malick. He relies on his imagery to tell his hidden philosophical points. Emmanuel Lubezki takes the reins on the camera and does a beautiful job. With each film Malick has used a different cinematographer, but his visual style is always evident. Crew members have often spoke of Malick's almost preternatural understanding of cinematography. The look of his films are his own. He establishes dogmas of cinematography: for The New World, only steadicam or handheld shots were to be used, and the cameraman was encouraged to move on his own to find the rhythm of the shot, among other things.

    This movie is not for everyone. Malick's movies, all four of them, move
    very slowly. But they do so with all deliberate speed. Malick has a way of lulling you into almost a hypnosis with his flowing camera movements and editing style. It makes you feel closer to the real story, and it does make his movies feel longer than they actually are, in that rarely positive way. They draw you in so that you are there, in that world. If you have it in you to allow yourself to be taken in, the payoff to be found is deeply rewarding.

    The plot to 'The New World' is easy enough. Everyone will get the basic
    pattern here. Understanding the big picture, however, is a whole other
    story. Malick, more-so than many other directors, has a way of getting
    under your feet and over your head. This is very frustrating for many people who are expecting a classic narrative style.

    For those with the willingness to allow Malick to take you in and let the film run over you, then 'The New World' will be unforgettable.
    For some reason, I never had a review or rating posted for The New World, despite having seen it twice in the theatre and having written a review for another site over two years ago.

    Well, I have changed that. This was one of the best films of 2005, and I think one of those movies that will be looked upon in the years to come great admiration, much as The Thin Red Line is beginning to enjoy.

    I was alerted to my lack of a review by two things: 1) There will be a 170 minute extended edition (billed as Malick's original vision) released this October; and 2) Malick is currently filming his next film, the ambitious Tree of Life, with Brad Pitt and Thin Red Line alumni Sean Penn. Its due out sometime next year.

    Incredible testament to the storytellling ability silent film had -- due in part to all the magnificient imagery in here. There's things in this film that are still taboo, so I can't rightly imagine the reaction of audiences in the 1920s. Incredible imagery and acting throughout, with a wonderful accompanying soundtrack. When I think of silent film, I don't generally associate education or documentary, but here is a prime example. Entertaining and fascinating at the same time.
    The 1922 version is preferable to the 1968-ish rehashing.

    At first I was not interested in seeing this film, the sight of Poehler peeing in a sink is not my idea of good comedy. However the film has some good laughs, and some of the better comedy I've seen from Tina Fey. I like her but her comedy seems to be a mix of good and bad, sometimes she's funny, sometimes she's not. In this film it's more than not, also, women will enjoy the film and its comedy much more than men.

    Now, I won't admit I was wrong thinking it was bad, however, it was not as bad as I assumed it would have been. It was JUST passable as a movie that I would see, on a whim, with some friends at the theater. I wouldn't plan to see it, I wouldn't go out late on a Friday/Saturday just to see it. But on a slow Monday/Thursday afternoon when you're just hanging downtown, it is a good movie to see. No real thinking, some quaint comedy and a story that doesn't get too bad too fast. However, the last 15 minutes were both rushed, predictable and was not synergistic with the rest of the movie. However, this is becoming a common occurance in movies lately.

    Not great, not bad, just right for an afternoon time killer.
    A perfect mid-day movie on a slow and casual weekday. (Rent, don't buy)

    True Romance True Romance
    3.0 Stars by Veronique
    "true romance" is another hallmark of 90s neo-noir subculture since tarantino rises up with "pulp fiction"...the story of "true romance" is the creation of tarantino's slacker reveries, and the result squeaks outloud as the memoir of a screwy geek's phallic fantasies as well as a naively twisted american dream with good sense of obscene humor. despite it's helmed by director tony scott, the tarantino spirit is reeking relentlessly.

    an elvis presley fanatic who indulges himself in comics and cantonese kung-fu flicks discovers true love from a hooker (who insists calling herself "call girl") working for only 4 days with 3 clients. the hooker doesn't get tedious with the geek's endless chattering on elvis but feels amused instead. then the geek decides to kill the hooker's pimp to do her justice but accidentally elopes with a suitcase of cocaine. so they attempt to make a fortune for themselves out of it by heading hollywood for a whole big sale in spite of the involvement of ferocious mobsters.

    tarantino once remarks in an interview, if he shows a girl the things he loves, she better f***ing like it! same goes for the scenarios of "true romance"...christian slater's character even wears a leather jacket with the flag of "repubic of china"(which is my country) on his back in the prologue of performing his chivalry while his ex-hooker wife is staring at the tv with early hong kong flick starring Yun-Fat Chow (that i've seen in childhood as well) as if he was the bruce lee reclaiming the pride of china with his magnificent kung-fu as well as his elvis-styled sun glasses. an abitrary don quixote lives in his fantasyland.

    one element of the taratino formuli would be the pastiche of postmodern orientalism resulted from watching too many cantonese movies in adolescence, he devolpes an everlasting juvenile fetish over some oriental formalities without absorbing the meaning or he just misuses them willfully as his peculiar sort of humor, such as the jap samurai sword appears in "kill bill" and "pulp fiction". one cannot help but wonder he's just a deviant westerner over-obssessed on such matters with self-abandoned narcissism.

    the pinnacle of hilarious brass would probably be the confrontation between dennis hopper and christopher walken, and the abusive joke is on sicillions being half-black (but it seems funnier to use the "ni" word) since their female ancestors have been ravished by the moors so much.

    the aspect of its deranged american dream would probably the protagonists' careless naivete to sell the coke then get rich, and apparently the flick is more in a romancist's angle since they make it and it also gratifies the audience's testerone with enough provovations of violence, profanity and a titilating blonde bombshell who seems dumb enough to utter "you're so cool!" all the time to stimulate your libido. wouldn't that be an ideal boyish dreamland? being a never-do-good then suddenly, boom! you get everything and a hot chic! but who would say it's no fun despite it's obviously impractical and far from reality? ha.
    has anyone noticed that taratino flashes the logo of 70s shaw movies in hong kong as the prologue in "kill bill"..."true romance" is written by taratino despited directed by tony scott. some details of odd usages on oriental symbols are funny if you do pay attention on them. for example, christian slater wears the nation flag of "republic of china" back on his leather jacket before he goes to slaughter a drugged pimp. ODD. it doesn't mean any loyalty to this nation but a postmodern whim in taratino tale. in case you don't know it:

    A Short Film About Killing A Short Film About Killing
    5.0 Stars by edwin
    "Since Cain, no punishment has proved an adequate remedy."

    A soon to be lawyer responds to the debate on capital punishment with this quote at his exam. The older lawyers seem pleased and do not need to be told who the source of those words are. And so we are not told. Kieslowski, one of the greatest of all filmmakers, made a habit of this in his films, he never tells us anything we don't need to know, even when we think we need to know. In the Double Life of Veronique he never tells us why there are two women who look exactly alike, both have heart problems, why one feels the loss of the other without ever having met her or knowing of her, or why all this happens despite no relation (perhaps other than spiritual) whatsoever. We want to know the answer, but what good would that do? If we got it we'd likely be left dissapointed. Whats left unsaid sometimes speaks the loudest.

    In A Short Film About Killing Kieslowski never really goes into details about why a young man brutally murders a Taxi Driver one afternoon. We find out details from his past, but the closest we get to finding out why he did this is why he lives in the city now. In Kieslowski's world, chance dictates the day - although it is not necessarily random. The characters in the film seem to be on a path of fate - the young lawyer, the young man, and the middle aged taxi driver. They are floating down a path, presented with various different paths, which unfortunatly for all involved are never treaded on. The taxi driver is the best example of this. He has a mean streak, if not for anything but his own enjoyment. Early on a young couple wait for him to finish washing his taxi. He finishes and simply drives off leaving them behind, seemingly pleased with himself. Later he sees a drunk man coming out of a pub with the help of his friend, instead of taking the fare he immediatly drives away before the men can get in the cab. This mean spirited actions lead him on a path to his death. If only he had took the couple the young man wouldn't have ended up in his car; if only he decided to be a good samaritan and take the drunken fare, he would have never ended up with his killer in the car. But alas he chooses to ignore the escapes and alas he is killed.
    The film is clear about what its trying to say in its main message: Capital punishment is wrong and unjust. Fate lead to the death of the taxi driver, but it is the state's vengeance for a man it could care less about that leads to the murder of the young man (yes, capital punishment is murder, no matter how you spin it, Sorry Weber).
    What is incredible about this film is that whereas other anti-capital punishment films show that the offender has his very clear reasons for committing his crime, tugging at our heart strings with murder in some form of defense, Kieslowski doesn't allow us that luxery. No, instead the taxi driver, a jerk he may be, is killed in cold blood without any legitimate justification. That is a bold step to make in a film against capital punishment. David Gale should have taken lessons. That the film makes this work is perhaps its greatest strength. We see that the young man regrets what he did, he's scared, he's human - not a monster. Kieslowski makes the final scenes genuinely heart breaking without having to tell us why.
    Yes, it is the lack of reason which makes A Short Film About Killing Work, just as the lack of answers is what makes The Double Life of Veronique Work. Fate has its way with us, yet grants us opportunities to deny it without ever acknowledging them. What a cruel game life is.
    Oh, and if you must know, that unsourced quote with which I opened this review is derived from Marx in 1853: "...there is such a thing as statistics ? which prove with the most complete evidence that since Cain the world has neither been intimidated nor ameliorated by punishment"
    One of my favorite Kieslowski films (really, are any of them not though?).
    It does somthing that few other anti-capital punisment movies would dare to do: not give us an explanation why someone commits a coldblooded murder. That is a bold move. David Gale should have saw this and taken notes.

    Ah! The simple joys of life: music, love and tap-dancing friends. Hehe. "Singin' in the rain" works like a happy pill, and it might even make you addicted as well.

    I guess no matter what kind of person you are, you will be able to relate to this film, and inevitably it will lift your spirits.
    I've seen this film 5 times this month and I'm still amazed at the accomplishments of this AMERICAN film. The songs, the dance numbers and the bold colorful scenes are intertwined so well it will make you long for the good old days when actors had all kinds of talents, and didn't need to resort to nudity, violence or CGI to smash the box office.

    Nuri Bilge Ceylan is one of the fantastic directors today.. from Uzak, Clouds of May and Climates.. all of them are masterpieces. I love the long take in the movie. Ambient sound of nature.. waves, breeze, or silence. And this is a great story to tell. many directors told this plot before.. but Ceylan's style is perfect match for this plot!! This is the movie of Instinct and fact that never been accepted.. It's hurt.. but it's true..
