About Me
I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - the Dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.

The Dark Knight The Dark Knight PG-13 4.5 Stars
It came out here today and I finally saw it. After reading 5 star-reviews from my friends and after all this hype, I can't say I'm disappointed. Batman is my favoritte super hero because he is more realistic than the others. And Mr. Nolan is the best thing that ever happenned to Batman. He made a great start with Batman Begins and when we thought it can't get better than that, it just did.

Everybody is talking about Heath Ledger's performance. Now some will say it's because he is dead but it sure isn't. It's one of the best performances I've ever seen on screen. His tone of voice, his use of body is just perfect. The man devoted himself to the role. And the director showed his craziness very well with his shaking or spinnig camera. Heath Ledger has become a legend with this role and he will be remembered years to come even if they don't give him an oscar.
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints R 4.0 Stars
Dito Montiel's debut movie adapted from his autobiographic book. It's a coming-of-age, leaving everything, then coming back home facing your past story, very realistic and dark. It's a great first movie, a very good drama and it has lots of extraordinary acting in it.
Broken Flowers Broken Flowers R 3.5 Stars
Don JohnsTon, an ex-playboy, now a middle aged man who is still a bachelor receives an anonymous pink letter one day, from one of his girlfriends, saying that she had a son from him, who is now 19 years old and he is on a road trip in pursuit to find his father. Don's curious neighbor Winston, convinces him to make a list of girlfriends who may have sent this letter, tracks them down and he prepares a road trip for him in order to learn whether he has a son or not. For Don, it's the beginning of a little journey to his past.

I like Jim Jarmusch's slow paced style and dark humor and I can watch Bill Murray sitting for two hours, just staring at the camera. This is, like other Jarmush movies, minimalistic but it's also his most stylish movie, he pays attention to the colors and objects and he uses the camera very well as always. Listen to what Don has to say when a young men asks his advice :
"Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it."
Vantage  Point Vantage Point PG-13 3.0 Stars
Showing an event from 8 different points of view is a good idea. And the editing is quite good and it makes the movie work. (rewinding the video for 8 times was not a good idea though, it became annoying for me after some point, just a blackout would do it). The story is not very original and it's full of cliches. But the action in the movie is stylish and keeps you on the edge. If you can get past some silly points in the story, you can enjoy the movie. The cast is also good, especially Dennis Quaid was great in this..
Ben X Ben X Unrated 3.5 Stars
Nic Balthazar directs his first movie adapted from his own novel. The story is familiar but interesting and the acting is very good. The original aspect of this movie is its cinematography. The director manages to pull us into the world he puts his character to, in a mixture of reality and the fantasy. Ben is a troubled young boy who is picked on all the time..He plays an online video game and identifies with the character he creates there. But real life is bitter and real people are so cruel.. Can Ben put up with this or should he end the game? Can his parents and the girl he meets on the game help him to go on?
House of Sand and Fog House of Sand and Fog R 4.0 Stars
This movie is brutal! Pure tragedy.. It's hard to believe that this very well-qualified drama is the director's first movie. And the acting! Connelly and Kingsley is great here with all the other actors. Especially Kingsley, oh my god, he puts on a little show in the end that can make a stone cry. Very good and sad story that is made into a very good movie. Don't forget the tissues..

    December Boys December Boys
    4.0 Stars by Bannan
    Okay, I know what you're thinking 'What the hell is Harry Potter doing in the outback??" But seriously, you guys should give this a chance...I know not everyone would prefer such a film...but I really really really liked it.

    Yip, JBitBop...another aussie film that gets a shining gold start from moi. ;]

    Some background, perhaps?

    This is the story of Maps, Spit, Spark and Misty...four orphans who all happen to have been born in December. Because of this very fact is the basis of their friendship, all of them living in a catholic convent in the outback in about the 60s.

    They watch as other little boys get happily adopted into families, and silent seethe with jealousy...knowing deep within themselves that it'll never be them smiling with two new parents. Since it is their birthday, and the convent seemed to have set aside some money to take the boys on a holiday to LadyStar Cove.

    After a long road across the arid scenery, they finally get to the sea where they are welcomed by an older couple named Bandy and Skipper. While there, they swim, splash about, climb over the rocks and simply have a good time.

    When passing by towards the cove they come across a fair where the 'Fearless Forte' jumps his motorcycle through hoops of fire and death-defying stunts. Being in total awe of this, he discovers that this fearless biker lives just next door to the place they're staying. And meet the couple who are unable to have children, learning that they are looking into adopting one of the four as their own when their holiday draws to a close.

    Maps, being the oldest, doesn't seem to worry much about being adopted and instead sets his eyes upon a girl named Lucy.

    While the other three compete to show who would be the most likely candidate for adoption. Things happen that test their friendships and then the feelings of rejection seem to drive a bit of a rift between them.

    Eventually, these ties become stronger what with the various events that happen in the cove...where they learn what being a December Boy is really about.

    The scenery in this simply stunned me, it was vibrant and lively...drawing one further into this endearing story of a bamd of orphans. The acting in here was quite decent, as each Boy portrayed what their names meant behind their titles.

    To be honest, the story sort of reminded me of Les Choristes...so therefore anyone who enjoyed that type of story...would enjoy this as well.

    Good news avid bookfiends! It's a novel by Michael Noonan...which I have already added to my list as well.
    :]
    Not for all, but watch as the ties of four orphans are tested when various events come up when on holiday from the outback.

    What exactly...is the meaning behind being a 'December Boy' anyways?

    If not, how the hell are all of you?!

    Big Fish Big Fish
    4.0 Stars by Inez
    An adventure as big as life itself.

    DIRECTED BY: Tim Burton
    STARRING: Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Blly Crudup, Jessica Lange, Helena Bonham Carter, Alison Lohman, Robert Giullaume, Marion Cotillard, Steve Buscemi, Danny DeVito

    Synopsis

    Tim Burton directs the fantasy drama Big Fish, based on the book Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions by Southern writer/illustrator Daniel Wallace. Billy Crudup plays William Bloom, a young man who never really knew his dying father, Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) outside of the tall tales he told about growing up, making his way, and meeting his mother, Sandra Bloom (played as a young woman by Alison Lohman and in older age by Jessica Lange). During Edward's last days, William and his wife Josephine (Marion Cotillard) hold bedside vigil as the old man recollects elaborate memories of his youth (in which he is played by Ewan McGregor). Still doubting the the legends and folklore, William makes a journey to meet a mysterious woman (Helena Bonham Carter) from whom Edward had bought property.

    My Review

    With the director Tim Burton and the composer Danny Elfman, we all have imagined Big Fish to be a NICE EDWARD SCISSORHANDS ENCORE. The truth is, not exactly an encore, but still supplied with the same tone, heartwarming fairy tale for all ages, and Burton-Elfman-ish style.

    Adapted from a book by Daniel Wallace, Burton convinced us that the movie is at least as good as the book, without losing his directing style in each angles. The UNIQUE storyline with imaginative characters were represent well by Burton into the screen of a movie. I haven't watched the book yet, but I'm sure that the movie Big Fish is exactly what the readers hope. Bunch of great casts, and memorable quotes, deeply acted, and well executed. But what I concern about is, I'm afraid that after a few years, Big Fish will be only well remebered as another hot job from Burton, a nice Scissorhands' follower, and then there will be nothing much left about it, becuase it is not as good as Scissorhands is every way.

    Albert Finney gave a perfect performance as the older Edward Bloom, his performance was REMARKABLE. And to mention Jessica Lange and Ewan McGregor which gave honorable pwerformances, supported the movie well, quite convincing. Helena Bonham Carter is without any doubt, a true actress, she nailed all her roles in every movies she played well. But, only heaven knows whether she got her roles here because of her quality, or well, nepotism. I mean, first this Big Fish, and then Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd. But who cares, I'm sure she'll be as great as she is now without staying under Burton's shadow.

    Overall Big Fish is a fairy tale with a troop of great casts (means you don't have to worry about the actings development, they are all in the good hands). ANOTHER 'BIG' WORK OF ART FROM BURTON.

    I was thinking about death and all. About seeing how you're gonna die. I mean, on one hand, if dying was all you thought about, it could kind of screw you up. But it could kind of help you, couldn't it? Because you'd know that everything else you can survive.

    Think "Baby Doll" meets "Baby Jane".

    Director Jack Hill is to Lon Chaney Jr what Ed Wood was to Bella Lugosi. Only Hill did it with a lot more style.

    If you love horror films (cheesy or otherwise), this should be right up your alley. And you can't help but notice just how much this "cult classic" influenced many of the more successful horror directors of our time.

    And although the story and the special effects are a little weak...the acting and some of the cinematography are remarkably good.

    My Review


    If there is any reason that made Mystic River didn't win the Oscar, maybe it was only because it was facing Jackson's giant The Return of The King. In my opinion, Mystic River is a very POWERFUL in every way, and may I say that, it is more than Crash (the 2006's winner). Again, a not-so-lucky coincidence for a good movie to win an Oscar it deserves.

    It owns my 5 stars, because I think, well, 'is there anything wrong about the movie?' HELL, NO! Perfectly directed and casted, each actors seem belong to the movie, including Eastwood, who made this movie a true high quality intense. I found that the guy is much better to be off from camera, and instead, works behind it, and he can create miracles. He didn't get the Oscar for this? Who cares?! He made it one year later with Million Dollar Baby, which I think, he deserves it more when he directed Mystic River.

    And pay attention the guys who really made this movie works. Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. I've putted my eye on Penn since I am Sam, which some think that it's not a really great movie (and which I don't agree with), but still, Penn gave a miraculous performance in I am Sam. Then, he played the exact diffrent role here, he created a heavenly choir in the viewers' hearts. He shouted, he screams, he cried, and we saw a man who was really ready to receive his Oscar. And to mention the honorable Tim Robbins, which created intense in his character Dave. Bacon did a good job and he fits for the role, but I can see anybody else in those suits which can played the role Sean Devine as good as him. But the SCENE-STEALER here is Marcia Gay Harden. She presented her role with her totality of acting. Remember her scene with Sean Penn? It's probably the most powerful moment in the movie. The dialogs are convincing and brilliantly smart. A perfect way to adapt a book into different kind of masterpiece.

    Overall Mystic River is an experience of watching 3 powerful characters in the same intrigue with different role, created a vibe of intense and curiosity for all viewers. MYSTIC RIVER IS A TRUTHFUL MASTERPIECE FROM EASTWOOD.

    The reality is we're still 11 year old boys locked in a cellar imagining what our lives would have been if we'd escaped.

    While I wont go so far as to call this a masterpiece, this exceptional addition to the Batman franchise is a very good film and lives up to some very high expectations. The cast is uniformly great and the action is spectacular. A clever story is well told and the dark noir spirit of the source material is well maintained. Heath Ledger deserves special mention for his brilliant portrayal of The Joker and I loved the Two Face origin story. It perhaps feels about half an hour too long, but it's such a fun ride.

    Heroism to Melville isn't the pretty picture Hollywood gives us in its' sanitized war films. This is a grim film where those pursuing a noble cause don't have the opportunity to even enjoy it as they must be prepared for the possible worst.

    Melville's filmmaking style is slow and deliberate giving the viewer an anti-heroic account of the early days of French resistance to the Nazi Occupation which is both restrained and terrifyingly tense.

    You know those little movies that you absolutely LOVE but hardly anyone else has ever heard of? Those movies that you watch and wonder why no one ever talks about them or praises them or includes them in their list of favorites? Do you know those movies? Well this is one of those movies.

    Jason Robards is a middle-aged, unemployed bachelor who is raising his 12-year-old nephew (Barry Gordon) in the heart of New York City. When confronted by representatives from NY social services, Robards is faced with the choice of either conforming to "acceptable" standards (getting a job) or risk losing his nephew to the bureaucracy of the child welfare system.

    I have an affinity for cerebral comedies and this is definitely one of the best I've ever seen. It stimulates the mind, tickles the funny bone and touches the heart.

    *Thank you Audrey and Stella for bringing this wonderful, wonderful film to my attention!
    This film is so deeply entrenched in New York City it almost drips big-apple juice, but it still has a French New Wave feel about it. Oscar nominated for best picture, losing out to "The Sound of Music" - I had never even heard of it until a couple of my Flixster friends brought it to my attention, a favor for which I'm forever grateful!

    I won't go on and on about "how dark it was" or "what a great take on The Joker, Ledger gave".

    Both statements are true, but I would expect nothing less from Mr. Nolan or Mr. Ledger for that matter. Especially where this franchise is concerned.

    I can't say that it was any better then I expected (I expected it to be really good). And I can't say that I felt that there were ANY Academy Award performances involved, though Ledger certainly had the potential for it (and SO much more).

    But I can say that as sequels go...this is an exceptional one.

    Just a brilliant mesh of everything. sound, cinematography, acting, and everything else. I felt emotinally drained afterwards when the film ending. The film asks us if we have lived the way we want to live, and how we would respond if a unforunate situation would happen to us. Julian Schnabel's brillant direction puts us into Jean Do's view of life and through out the film we live through him going through his struggles of everyday. A highly original masterpiece that will make you want to watch it over and over as it absorbs into your skin.

    5.0 Stars by Craig
    Directed by: Christopher Nolan.
    Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman.

    << "You see, madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little...push" >>

    The story follows Batman a year after his accounter with Ra's Al Ghul and his thugs, the streets remain the same and Batman continues to do what he can with the help of newly appointed Commissioner, Jim Gordon and Gotham's new D.A, Harvey Dent. Before long a menacing madman called the Joker introduces something into Gotham that no one would have ever expected.

    This is no doubt the hundredth review you have read on this film, massively hype for years by fans and recently by the general public, reviews have been pouring in by the bucketload...my review is simply just a reminder, from both an obsessed fan and a general moviegoer, that this film is beyond anyones expectations, especially mine and that it simply is outstanding.

    Everything about the first film is simply raised in level here, everything seems to be in a new direction, yet never forgetting what made Begins so great. Christopher Nolan has always been my favorite director and he has simply proved it here by a mile. To many it might appear flashy that he has taken hold of the newest technology for the film with IMAX cameras etc and in the wrong hands it would have just been for show, but Nolan is god behind these cameras and the epic scope is deftly handled and perfectly assured, the man is long overdue to be recognised more...and Wally Pfeister simply dazzles with the assured tone on this epic scale, it adds such a lovely feel.

    The Nolan brothers screenplay is simply remarkable and again, 'beyond' everything I expected from the film. I was one of the men who knew the film was going to be more than just a Batman film, the footage I saw showed it, the dialogue rang true of it and as I am no doubt repeating in this review, its more than you would ever expect. In Batman 89, the problem that fell on it was the fact that the storytelling was lax and rather second-rate and Joker became a first rate character over Batman, who simply became third rate. Begins proved that Batman and Bruce Wayne can be powerful forces and complex humans and faces and TDK continues that power by adding so much more. Morally complex from every angle, its a perfect crime saga under the superhero cover. Each character is given special treatment and in one word, a 'soul'. Bruce Wayne must now face the facts of Rachael being with another man, especially the one appointed as the challenger to Batman's moral values on Gotham. Joker is never given a major origin story and thank god for that, because the direction of Nolan's vision didn't need it. He's unrelenting, mysterious much like Batman yet so self destructive and simply one hell of a scary, menacing clown that promises anarchy and chaos.

    I can't go on without mentioning something highly under-looked in films...the score. It is the first soundtrack I would have ever bothered to sit down and listen to throughout and for good reason. Its a rich force that blends beautifully with the complexities of the films morals and emotions, beautifully adding richness to every epic scene on screen, its up there as one of the greatest pieces of music I've heard that can add so much to the moving image.

    You all knew I was getting to this...the performances. Christian Bale once again proves to be the greatest mix put on screen for these characters and has settled in nicely. As Bruce Wayne, he continues to show the charming and cheeky wit around the way he is seen in city, yet remains so human, dark, troubled and battles the strong emotions with others as we all do. Aaron Eckhart simply blew me away, especially when everyone is going in for Heath. He's perfect...there I said it and easily blows Tommy Lee off the face of the earth. He's got the perfect charisma to play this all American man as D.A of a major city and really is a nice threat for Bruce in his personal life, because he is not only similar in statue as the force of Gotham, but he has won Rachael over, who no doubt sees him as Bruce without the mask...and when Harvey changes into who he is destined to become, Aaron is scary as hell and really is compelling. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a great replacement over the horribly wooden Katie Holmes and is given more to work with this time around and she blends in just well....AND of course Heath Ledger. What more can I say that no one has already said? Many still believe an posthumous Oscar win would be a sympathy vote, the truth is, if the man was still alive today, he would still win it for what is quite possibly the greatest villain to ever grace celluloid...and that will be argued. Equally unexpected and expecting, his performance as the Joker will stand for a lifetime. Sure Cesar and Jack will always have a face for Joker as the showman side of the character, but Heath is the dark side everyone knows from a 50+ year old character. Charismatic, dark, edgy and scary as all fucking hell, he breezes into every scene easily stealing it and delivering something so intense, so unexpected, yet so real. Its a performance to be remembered by someone who died so suddenly and whether or not he wins the truly deserved Oscar, he's already in the hall of fame in my eyes.

    The Dark Knight is a fucking masterpiece. To be, of course as 'opinion', because no one can stand as being right, it is the greatest film I have ever seen and blew my obsessive and very high expectations right out of the water. Moral complex, beautifully captured, deftly controlled, greatly performed...simply outstanding. I still can't say that the film is 'flawless', because I still believe no film can or ever will, but The Dark Knight comes damn close...and being a film so deserving of everything it gets and a film of such exquisite quality and somehow managing to beat my insane expectations, It will be my first film ever I have rated a 5.

    << "You see, nobody panics when things go according to plan. Even if the plan is horrifying. If I told people that a gangbanger was going to get shot, or a busload of soldiers was going to get blown up, nobody would panic. It's all part of the plan. But tell people that one tiny little mayor is going to die and everyone loses their minds!" >>
    What should I be saying here, read my review :) You know my obsession is good for it.

    ...and I was annoyed enough to have to wait until the 24th (release date) here to see it.
