Inglourious Basterds - R
|
|
For a true blue Tarantino fan, Basterds doesn't disappoint. The amount of suspense wrung from dialogue scenes is tremendous. Like all of QT's work, it's a movie ABOUT other movies. Here's a case where he managed to work film history into the plot -- brilliant! There are moments of violence that are squirm inducing and some that are ludicrously funny. Christoph Waltz is mesmerizing as Colonel Landa. After his best actor win at Cannes, it will be interesting to see if he gets an Oscar nomination.

District 9 - R
|

Daring technique, an engaging story, and political subtext in the guise of pop sci fi. Everything true science fiction should aspire to.

Mazes and Monsters - PG

Not as anti-Dungeons & Dragons as I expected -- just exploitative. Some camp value, but not enough to recommend.

RiP: A Remix Manifesto - Unrated
|
|
A rather one sided look at the copyright problem, but a good conversation starter. Bold sense of personality comes through the editing and narration. Download it at http://ripremix.com

The Doors - R
|
|
Val Kilmer's signature role -- perfectly cast. I like the way The Doors songs are used as source music and soundtrack, sometimes in the same scene. Some of the concert montage sequences can stand alone as their own mini-movies. On the down side, some of the 90s filmmaking style seems a bit dated now, and I found myself distracted by the wigs and fake beards.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Unrated
|

Uneven, but at times fascinating. The DVD has a rather unconventional featurette -- suitably Lynchian in its nonlinear approach.

Welcome to Macintosh - Unrated
|
|
Lots of talking heads sharing their love for Macintosh. The historical aspect was interesting, and there's one packrat whose collection is freaking scary. Could have used more points of view. Plus, they interviewed the editor of Pirates of Silicon Valley, but he hardly talked about it!

Repo! The Genetic Opera - R
|
|
Somehow, watching it at home wasn't as much fun as seeing it with a sold out crowd in Toronto. It was harder to overlook the awkward lyrics and delivery. Still gets points for design, camp, and audacity.

Gives new meaning to mediocre. Gets a tiny bit interesting when Naschy does the werewolf thing. Overall, nothing to recommend.
