Be Kind Rewind Be Kind Rewind PG-13 2.0 Stars
The cheesiest movie of Gondry, probably from the same reasons as School of Rock is Linklater's most cheesy one... And they both have Jack Black (coincidence?). It's all in the trailer, really.
My Left Foot My Left Foot R 4.0 Stars
Good film, amazing story. After watching it I really feel the need to get to books of Christy Brown.
The Royal Tenenbaums The Royal Tenenbaums R 3.5 Stars
Anderson's family tale with characters rather awkward than unusual. But few times it made me smiled honestly, which sometimes I prefer more than flat laughter (as for the makers' particular sense of humour, opposite to most movies starring Stiller or Wilson). Have you noticed how 'normal' the older generation is comparing to the younger one? (Not for the first time) co-written by Owen Wilson, with alarming anticipation of the events of last year's August (suicidal attempt scene).
Volver Volver R 3.5 Stars
Fans of Almodovar shan't be disappointed. I've never been particular fan of Cruz but here she's just gorgeous.
It's a Free World... It's a Free World... Unrated 3.0 Stars
Regular Loach, in few scenes pretty close to documentary. And it's not extreme golf, it's turbo golf! (By the way, the guys with golf bats on Polaroid are my mates from Katowice).
The Darjeeling Limited The Darjeeling Limited R 3.5 Stars
Hard to classify, rather comedy than tragi-, about dysfunctional family (but who makes movies about functional ones? Too rare, and probably too boring) members. Definitely better than The Life Aquatic (...).

Pan's Favorite Movies

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 1. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas R 5.0 Stars
Definitely not for everyone. Only by reading the book I have understood why it had to wait so long to be filmed (Where the Buffalo Roam with Bill Murray is not an adaptation). Overwhelming with colors, pure insanity and the bitter truth about hippie era. A must-see for fans of Gilliam/Depp/the sixties (fans of so called recreational drugs as well).
The Big Lebowski 2. The Big Lebowski R 5.0 Stars
Unappreciated by critics, but loved by me and many I know (even many more I don't know. I unite with you all, dudes & dudettes!). Packed with twisted humour, hilarious dialogues and f-words. Goodman, who appears constantly in Coens' pictures, has made his best performance in years. Great supporting roles, just can't find any flaws in this movie. Man.
Blade Runner 3. Blade Runner R 5.0 Stars
This is ultimate sci-fi classic, a fairy tale about robots, and as someone wrote, the film about the will of life. Scott's another (after Alien) succesful trial with such difficult genre, as sci-fi is, combined with some film-noir elements. I 'm not the biggest admirer of Vangelis but his soundtrack is just great. Indisputably five star picture.
Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai 4. Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai R 5.0 Stars
One of the most laid-back movies I've ever seen. Ghost Dog character has been written especially for Whitaker who seems to perform the role effortlessy. Easy, dream-like photography of Muller plus the score made by RZA (whose Jim Jarmush is huge fan), plus cool cross-over of two "ancient tribes" equals incredibly suggestive film. I went to cinema three times to watch it, word is bond!
Bram Stoker's Dracula 5. Bram Stoker's Dracula R 5.0 Stars
The top of my very few beloved films about vampires. Coppola's homage to vampire movie subgenre (practically to the history of cinema itself) with many juicy references. Nevermind wooden (as usual) performance of Reeves, or Ryder - Oldman is the man (as usual). A love story with the music composed by our Wojciech Kilar, straight out of Katowice!
Altered States 6. Altered States R 5.0 Stars
The climate of Berkeley in the late 60's, experiments on people with exotic psychedelics/sensory deprivation, great acting (Hurt), and overwhelming SFX - what more can you want?
