My Favorite Movies

this film is even a pleasure to watch on mute. i don't recommend doing so though, the music of the film is a character itself, very powerful. oshinari shugo is especially fantastic, incredibly cold, but intriguing and ichihara hayato also performs well, being able to carry moments of silence. shinoda noboru is a very talented dp, this being a standout piece of work (he seems to be an iwai favourite).

christian bale is perfect as patrick bateman and the humour in this film timed wonderfully, as well as the selection of music. marry harron did a fantastic job adapting a seemingly unadaptable and very controversial novel.

i really liked this movie since i saw it awhile ago in a music class. i found laurel and hardy just hilarious.

this is an uncomfortably beautiful film, very dramatic turns and rich characters: notably jack whose struggle to live and raise a daughter peacefully against the modern world ends up self-destructing. while lewis gives another stunning performance, there is not one performance in the film that is baneful; all of the actors were fantastic!

i am very excited to see future rebecca miller projects and hopefully another pairing with lewis.

though his facial expressions seems to rarely change. lee byung-hun is extremely watchable i love his intensity in this role. this is a great noir film.

"i want more life...fucker!" - probably one of my favourite film quotes. i feel like this film was released ahead of its time, sci-fi fans owe it many thanks (especially you BSG fans!). great sets, perfect soundtrack and standout performances (especially hauer). of all the "cuts" i think i like the internationl version or scott's final cut, so if you haven't seen it i recommend one of those two first. lastly, does anyone else think that pris looks like a member of dir en grey?

i love everything about this fim, first and foremost the cast; aoki's (arai hirofumi) complete emotional hardening is chronicled wonderfully and complimented with the fantastic soundtrack. the opening of the film is also very memorable, one of my favourite scenes EVER! also, one of the final scenes where kujo (matsuda ryuhei) is rushing to the rooftop, is also a favourite, such desperation! this is a great adapation.

robert deniro and joe pesci are flawless. sharon stone gives the performance of her career.

my favourite jarmusch film...it's very quotable.

fantastic, haunting stories that cover all angles of love and loneliness. kanno miho gives a very tormented performance, her story being my favourite. hisaishi also made a beautiful score (despite his dislike for the screenplay).

scorsese is the master of voiceover! fantastic dialogue and career making performances! he can really bring out the best in actors.

i can watch this film over and over- the plot turns in the story are great (especially what happens to howl!) and even the english dubbing is awesome, billy crystal as calcifer was hilarious!

bae du-na is the definition of charmingly awkward! a truly pleasant story and a great watch!

a very creative and affecting film. charlotte gainsbourg is so charming!

incredibly creative, beautiful animation- a perfect masterpiece! i loved every single spirit (yes every one!)!

this a beautiful fable, a real work of art by kim. i found everything to be perfect.

i can't really say much about this film that hasn't already been said. top notch cinematography and performances from lewis & dano. ...i found quite a few of their scenes quite humourous as well. this is my favourite film of 2007.
