Bella (Beauty) - PG-13

I think I would have enjoyed this movie a little bit better if I hadn't felt like I was being preached at. Not really into story's made to fit into social agendas.

Millennium Mambo (Qianxi Manbo) - R

This movie was unbelievably painful to get through, I really not sure what the point was and despite the lead actress' beauty, she just became really annoying after awhile. I'm really not sure what about this film warranted its being singled out at a number of international film festivals.

The sweeping grasslands of the prairies provide a great backdrop against which Gilliam creates his trademark offbeat, dark yet optimistic narrative.

Brideshead Revisited - PG-13

Decent acting and scenery, didn't feel like I fully grasped the message being conveyed. I would agree with most critics that a longer format such as a TV series would do more justice to Waugh's work.

A Good Year - PG-13
|
|
Not terrible, but certainly not memorable. Crowe did a reasonably good job, but the romance and comedy didn't really deliver. Archie Panjabi's accent was kind of a trip though.

Bottle Shock - PG-13

Dealable viewing, dragged in parts like the slacker son storyline, but definitely made me crave a nice California red. A little more sappy then funny, Rickman and Farina were a little to caricature, a bit of a waste of their talent.

Was as good as I expected it to be, which was not very...cheesiness abounds, and Matthew McConnaughey young Ron Jeremy look is kind of creepy...

While others have complained Branagh's choice to contain all the action within the house as claustrophobic, I found it to be a clever choice that created a platform for the dialogue, which is the key factor of this film. It has made me quite interested in seeing the original.

Mulholland Drive - R

Once you embrace Lynch's surrealist non-linear style, going along for the ride is a lot easier and enjoyable. With very little over-embellishment he keeps your eyes glued to the screen, keen to follow wherever it is he might lead you next.

A Short Film About Love - Unrated
|
|
This isn't a short film about love, it's a short film about stalking. A simple change in score would have made the film feel ominous and foreboding as opposed to romantic. This film isn't about love, it's about obsession - the very unhealthy kind. I was tempted to eject it part way through but instead fastforwarded with the captions, so I could be sure. The ending in no way justified this film's misogynistic viewpoint. Some films dabble with this idea of romance bordering on stalking - this doesn't dabble, it's just complete psychosis. It would have made more sense if she ended up raped or murdered, because that's where this type of behaviour most often leads...All written positive reviews currently listed here are from males, I'm curious as to what other women thought of this movie. Arthouse or no, this film utterly fails to make a case for itself. To date I have yet to see the director's Colours Trilogy: Bleu, Blanc, Rouge, however I still endeavour to view them without this work clouding my judgement.

Amazing visuals - 10/10, Ambiance, the Fight scenes were some of the most impactful and intense I've ever seen - 11/10. My only major complaint was I felt like they could have pushed the story line further, and perhaps did a little more character development. It felt like things got crazy before you had time to emotionally invest.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona - PG-13

Can't go wrong with this setting, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. Although that might be Woody Allen's gift is making it feel so effortless in its romantic leanings both hopeful and ultimately melancholic.
