| Quote: | They planted a seed over his grave. The seed became a tree. Moses said his father became a part of that tree. He grew into the wood, into the bloom.

We accept the reality with which we are presented.
 "Impossible is not a declaration... it's a dare." Our bodies are prisons for our souls; all flesh decays, death turns all to ash and thus, death frees every soul.
 Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.
"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle."

Interiors (1978)
director: Woody Allen
starring: Geraldine Page, Diane Keaton, Mary Beth Hurt, Kristin Griffith, Maureen Stapleton, E.G. Marshall, Sam Waterston, Richard Jordan
Most people consider this film a bridge between Woody Allen's two most popular masterpieces, Annie Hall and Manhattan (which also happen to be to of my all time favourite films). When I hear the word 'bridge' in relation to film, I think of a movie that is just used as a petty time-filler between major projects. In this case, Interiors is anything but a 'bridge'. If it should be compared to a bridge, it would be The Golden Gate Bridge of all films. It's a masterpiece unto itself and is the perfect display of acting and a middle-class American family in distress.
The performances in this film are fantastic and the ensemble cast is perfect in their respective parts. Woody Allen leaves himself out of this film, which probably was a smart move seeing how this was his first drama and his audiences wouldn't have responded well seeing him in a drama. They might not have responded well seeing him direct a drama either, but he pulled that off flawlessly. The subject matter in this film is heavy and very depressing; it can be compared to something like Ordinary People or The Ice Storm. Ultimately, this film is not totally uninspired and shouldn't be compared to any old film because Allen was directly inspired by Ingmar Bergman's masterworks. He adapted elements and visual styles used in Bergman's films and put them to use in Interiors. This film is an homage to the Swedish director and visionary who sadly passed away last year. Woody Allen has credited Bergman as one of his biggest influences as a filmmaker and often uses his techniques in his own films.
Geraldine Page gives what I think is her greatest performance in this film. Her body-of-work Oscar which she won for 1985's The Trip to Bountiful is undeserved (hand it to Whoopi Goldberg for The Color Purple) and only went to Ms. Page because the Academy forgot to award her for her performance as Eve, the depressed, suicidal and insanely judgmental mother. Other great performances come from the incomparable Maureen Stapleton, who is great as always, and the then-fresh new face, Mary Beth Hurt. The cast works well together using the raw emotion of the characters and the melodramatic elements in the screenplay to deliver solid performances that will be memorable for years and years to come (at least for me).
Not Woody Allen's best, but this still is a masterful effort. Coming out in 1978, Interiors had to follow what was the huge success of Annie Hall and faced being compared. This was a difficult task for Allen and a very risky project. Stripping his regular comedic self to show a very dark dramatic side seemed to be a difficult task, but Allen proved everyone wrong and gave the world one of the best films of 1978. This film was nominated for five Oscars, won numerous other awards and was acclaimed by many critics. I would call it a success on Allen's behalf (even though the domestic box office totaled a not-so-impressive $10 million).
I highly recommend this film to everyone, especially those who are fans of Woody Allen. Interiors ranks among Annie Hall and Manhattan as Allen's best work.
2046
R
2046 (2005)
director: Wong Kar-wai
starring: Tony Leung, Ziyi Zhang, Li Gong, Faye Wong, Takuya Kimura
One of the best films I have ever seen. Easily one of my absolute favourites and one of the best films of the 21st Century. The thing is, when people ask me if I like this more than In the Mood for Love, I won't be able to answer. They are both totally different films (even thought this is the sequel to In the Mood for Love). They are both equally amazing, but in terms of favourite, 2046 is mine (with In the Mood for Love just a small margin behind it).
I can't get over the mixed reviews I have been reading for this film. It deals with the beauty of love like no other film I have seen (save In the Mood for Love) and incorporates science fiction elements into the plot that makes the story so much more brilliant and the characters so much more real. Science fiction elements make these characters seem real? Yes, I believe they do. The scenes on the train to the year 2046 are not only superbly shot and masterfully visualized, but a good deal of the development and existential occurrences in the characters happen on this train, in the future. I haven't seen a film or read a book that put science fiction elements to such good use since I read Slaughterhouse-Five; or, The Children's Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Wong Kar-wai has always been a favourite of mine ever since I saw In the Mood for Love four years ago. The plot of that film never interested me before I saw it, but that was around the time I began broadening my tastes and watching more foreign films. After I saw In the Mood, I was mesmerized and completely captured by the beauty of it. The story of Chow Mo-wan and Su Li-Zhen made me feel uncannily close to them and I knew at that moment I had to watch 2046. For some ridiculous reason, it took me almost four years to watch 2046, but those four years let me mature that much more and see many more films that would allow me to appreciate this film like I have. I have never felt as close as I have with characters in a film as I do with the ones in In the Mood for Love and 2046 (I have yet to see Days of Being Wild, unfortunately).
The visuals are what keep me mesmerized and the screenplay is what keeps me emotional, vice versa even. When I say emotional, I don't mean bawling my eyes out sad, I mean infatuated. I am literally infatuated with this work of art. This film is a collaborative effort, I do believe. Wong Kar-wai is the mastermind behind this trilogy, of course, but credit also goes out to the actors (Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Li Gong, Faye Wong, Ziyi Zhang), Christopher Doyle the cinematographer (along with Kwan Pun Leung and Lai Yiu Fai), William Chang the production designer/costume designer/film editor, Alfred Yau the art director and Shigeru Umebayashi the composer of the original score. Combining all these talents together has brought the world two epic films that have changed my outlook on cinema and art in general.
2046 is the epitome of film, in my opinion. It has everything I look for in a film and it has pleased me like only a few select others have. It really is a masterpiece and I cannot recommend this more. I hope you all see this and take something away from it, whether it be visually or emotionally (or hopefully both).

The Violin (El Violin)
by Vmedia Berkeley Ca. Indiana Jones does not compare to the character study of the same topics explores in the Spielberg epic, yet done so quietly prefect here in a real Indiana Jones film call THE VIOLIN.
Life-or-death matters are handled with compelling gravity in Francisco Vargas' "The Violin," one of the most powerful movies screened at last year's Seattle International Film Festival.
this Mexican drama takes the peasants' side in dramatizing a 1970s revolt. The script vividly explores the impact of government oppression on three generations of one rebellious family.
Plutarco, perfectly played by 81-year-old Don Ángel Tavira, is never the frail grandfather he appears to be. Managing to play the violin even though his right hand is a stump, he just gets by as a traveling musician, using his practiced performer's charm to smother guards' suspicions and get past checkpoints. (Tavira deservedly won an acting award at the 2006 Cannes festival for this performance.)
After raiding an ammunition dump in a cornfield, Plutarco supplies his son, Genaro, with handfuls of bullets. Distraught by the news that his wife has been captured, Genaro and his son, Lucio, seem increasingly helpless in a situation that only the old man can effectively manipulate.
At first, even Plutarco seems to be getting nowhere. When he discovers a guard captain who loves music and wants to take violin lessons, the ice begins to break ? just enough to allow each man's humanity to become briefly evident. But as the uncompromising finale makes clear, this film is not any kind of heart warmer.
Although it begins with a graphic torture scene that suggests more of the same is coming, "The Violin" becomes increasingly restrained in its use of violence. First-time writer-director Vargas makes a point about brutality, then refuses to dwell on it. The most shattering moment is one character's silent reading of a list of casualties; his changing expressions tell us all we need to know.
Working in black-and-white with a gifted cinematographer, Martin Boege, Vargas creates a darkened fairy-tale atmosphere, especially as campfires light up the faces of the actors and smoke drifts photogenically through forests. Glimpses of village life suggest a timeless quality, especially when the grandfather recites a legend about the origins of war.
Don't leave before the final credits of "The Violin," which briefly goes dark, apparently for emphasis, before it really ends with an expressive coda. The blank moment throws in a touch of mystery. Most likely it's meant as a tribute to Tavira, without whom the movie would be unimaginable.

Speed Racer (2008)
by DNot so good. Nothing comes off worse in a movie than attempting to hit two opposite demographics at once. Goodman, Ricci and Hirsch were all good calls. Ricci is really a missed gem in the acting world and Goodman is always a good father.
The action is fast, I guess (define fast really), however it's done in the worst possible way. It's all CG, which I suppose is necessary but it's is way over the top, past the point of comical to just plain boring. Unfortunately they try to make the heart of the story itself serious and interesting, but all is lost in the horrible comical aspects.
When a movie juxtaposes seriousness and well placed interest with monkey poop throwing humor and just horrible machoism-cgi-bullcrap racing scenes, well, it doesn't make the film any easier to watch for either.
Could've been much better, could've been great in fact, however, like many great ideas, the final product was a dud. In that sense, it was doubly disappointing to watch, although, imagining what it could have been is almost worth the effort to sit through it.This is an un-recommendation. It's what I do best.

Camp Out
by BrianI wanted to see this documentary because its subject are so different from. Ten campers trying to reconcile their Christian faith and their homosexuality.
I never had that problem because religion isn't a big part of my life at all, but it was interesting to see, and would be good viewing for gay teens dealing with the same issues.Maybe for you, maybe not for you but a fairly well done documentary. You may know people that you could tell them about this.

James Dean
by LisaReally excellent biopic about the legend that is James Dean. For films like this is is seriously hard to choose the right actors to portray them. James Franco however made an excellent James Dean. The two do look very similar so that helped a lot. Some parts of the film were made up which I really didn't see the point of. Like Dean's father telling him his mother wasn't sure he was his father. Why? All the performances in the film are fantastic. I even read that the beach house is the one that was used in Beaches. I also heard that James Franco became so immersed in playing James Dean that he went from being a non smoker to smoking two packs a day, as well as playing the guitar, the bongos, and learned to ride a motorcycle. That's dedication. A must see film for all James Dean fans.
Seen this ages ago but no one has seen it so I thought I would recommend it. James Franco is surprisingly good as James Dean.

by QuintoTake a drink whenever someone or something slides across the screen changing the image in the background.
Seriously, this film is more of an anime than the cartoon ever was. Emile Hirsch was a very lousy Speed Racer, but everything else was so much fun.I know this film has generated a lot of hate, but it's really not that bad. Aside from a miscast Emile Hirsch and the troubled story, the rest are two hours of pure excitement, joy and colorful fun. Recommended to those who loved and hated the anime (except epileptics!).

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (Harold & Kumar 2)
by EdIt's called Escape from Guantanamo Bay, but that takes up a total of two minutes of the entire movie. The rest of it is pure stoner humour, crazy adventures, and stereotype jokes that have a deep ring of truth to them. Even though the filmmakers don't break any new ground, they succeed in doing what the film sets out to do.

Angel-A
by JaniceIntriguing, mysterious, seductive, and the list continues. A heart-warming little film sprinkled with cues of Angela's mystical nature and a dash of light humour.
Despite critics I have read previously, I thought the black and white style of this film was aesthestically pleasing to the eye. And after a second thought, it couldn't have been in colour. Just couldn't have. I suspect Luc Besson of utilizing the colour settings as a mode of emphasizing the magic realism of the story - namely Angela, whose blonde mane and little black dress stood out.
Especially impressed with Jamel Debbouze who is usually specialized at making the public laugh. He showed us a more serious side of him, capable of doing some mature stuff.
Overall great film from Luc Besson that I encourage fans and non-fans alike to view multiple times so as to pick up on the subleties hidden all throughout.
This is beautiful. End of story.Beautiful french film from Luc Besson.

Finally saw this, and where do I begin? I just absolutely loved it. It was suspenseful, well made, great acting, good direction, and a nice few surpries for you. Way to go for making a horror movie, that the makers should feel relieved. I loved it so much, I rank it up with The Descent & Dead Silence which are also my recent horror favorites.A good time to crank up the speakers and volume. Turn out the lights and enjoy a great masterpiece.

Fahrenheit 451
by DanielleGuy Montag: "Look at that fellow over there."
Clarisse: "What's he doing?"
Guy Montag: "That's the information box, he can't make up his mind. "
Clarisse: "What does he want to find out? "
Guy Montag: "He doesn't want to find out anything, he knows someone who has books. So he got hold of the person's picture and number and is going to drop it into that box."
Clarisse: "But he's an informer! "
Guy Montag: "No, he's an informant."
Based on the 1951 Ray Bradbury novel of the same name. Guy Montag is a firefighter who lives in a lonely, isolated society where books have been outlawed by a government fearing an independent-thinking public. It is the duty of firefighters to burn any books on sight or said collections that have been reported by informants. People in this society including Montag's wife are drugged into compliancy and get their information from wall-length television screens. After Montag falls in love with book-hoarding Clarisse, he begins to read confiscated books. It is through this relationship that he begins to question the government's motives behind book-burning. Montag is soon found out, and he must decide whether to return to his job or run away knowing full well the consequences that he could face if captured. The plot is the strong point of the film. It carries a powerful message and leaves a strong emotional impact. Julie Christie's blandness and sporadic awkward enthusiasm work well enough in this environment for her almost to seem to give a good performance.Hey, you should really see this! And if you haven't read the book should also do that to, it's worth the time.

Wristcutters - A Love Story
by LisaI've heard a lot about this film recently so I thought I'd better see what all the fuss was about. The title set certain impressions of the film, so I didn't really bother reading the synopsis. I was wrong about that. I thought it would be about teenagers trying to commit suicide. I thought it would just be some bad emo film. I was glad that I was wrong. No, it wasn't excellent but it wasn't your usual love story either so it's always a pleasure to watch films that have a different take on things. The inexperience of everything really comes through in this film. Although it doesn't hinder the film in anyway. It showcases the young talent in all the different fields of film making. Some of the sequences are quite striking, especially the very first one. Patrick Fugit does a really great job in the leading role and all the other characters work well together. I really can't complain about any of it. Yes, there are flaws but nothing that would bother you an awful lot. A recommended film just because it's different.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
by Vmedia Berkeley Ca. I saw Shia Labeouf sat night at the dress for SNL - and he told us there would be this secret screening that night.
With the franchise and Spielberg not shying away from the original subtext of the franchise (the Reagan conquest) - Indi and his boy make for a fun play on the same metaphor this time around.
Dr. Jack Wheeler is a legend. he was the inspiration for the famed movie character.
While Jack has often been called a "real life Indiana Jones" and is part of the mix of historical figures Stephen Spielberg used (along with his own imagination) to create his fictional hero -- "Jones" is cartoon fiction and Wheeler is real.
In the 1980s he conducted a series of extensive visits to anti-Soviet guerrilla insurgencies in Nicaragua, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Laos, and Afghanistan, and to democracy movements in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, becoming an unofficial liaison between them and the Reagan White House. Based on his experiences with anti-Soviet insurgencies, he developed the strategy for dismantling the Soviet Empire adopted by the White House known as the "Reagan Doctrine. " It worked.
Dr. Jack Wheeler is virtually immeasurable as the architect of the Reagan Doctrine, he is one of the handful of men most responsible for the defeat of the Soviet Empire in the 1980s. He served his country as an "unofficial" liaison between the Reagan White House and anti-Soviet insurgents, pro-democracy activists and freedom fighters around the world, in Nicaragua, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, throughout Eastern Europe and in the Soviet Union itself.
With this in mind this new romp with Indi and the kid sticks to that path.
'Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again." says Ronald Reagan
This Reagan Romp is fun - thick with 2008 Republican pride and will take the box office for the next 3 weekends.
