The Best 3 Of November 2007-12-28 09:38:06 With me leaving to another country I happen to spend much more hours at the cinema than I usually had the chance to. So as a result, in November
I have been able to watch a lot of new films, many of which has been really good like 3:10 To Yuma and Venus. It's therefore hard to pick which ones could be seen as being the best out of the bunch, but I will try. Hopefully I will be able to keep updating this blog and keep it running in 2008 like I managed to do this year.1. ControlAnton Corbijn's film about Ian Curtis is a very honest depiction and great tribute to the singer's life. More than just the story of Curtis, Corbijn manages to make Curtis' story representative of many young men, telling a story that could have been of any young man struggling with growing up and becoming an independe
Right Now This Blog Is OVER, Sorry :( 2008-04-03 18:14:19 Should have posted this earlier. One day it will arise, though, Don't know when. Hopefully soon. Also, depends if people want me to carry on. I have no idea if anyone really visits this site. Read more:Right
The Good Shepherd 2008-07-02 01:35:04 The Good Shepherd
starts of slowly introducing a lot of characters, which at the beginning might have you a bit confused. It's well constructed, starting of immediately with a case of investigation to which Edward Wilson (Matt Damon) feels closely related to and which establishes the object over which the group of members of CIA scratch their heads over in order to figure out this little mystery.
Il Y Longtemps Que Je T'Aime (I've Loved You So Long) 2008-07-02 01:13:19 Strong performances are at the center of this drama by Philippe Claudel. It's a nice portrait of a woman entering society after a long absence. Kristin Scott Thomas is wonderful in her portrayal showing how her character copes with the negative and positive aspects of her return. Her subtle performance raises the tension which can be constantly felt throughout. Her sister played by Elsa Zylberstei
Karov La Bayit (Close To Home) 2008-06-28 04:46:18 Simple looking, beautifully acted, interesting characters and a story that makes you think. All what good cinema should be. A nice drama about friendship of two young girls serving their compulsory military service, which puts story over special-effects, showing once more what most of Hollywood lacks so much at times. Both actresses playing the two main characters seem not that experienced but the Read more:Close
Die Höhle Des Gelben Hundes 2008-07-16 04:06:06 Like The Story Of The Weeping Camel, Die Höhle Des Gelben Hundes (The Cave Of The Yellow Dog) tells a fictional story made with a group of non-actors, therefore enhancing the documentary style of the film. Apart from telling a fictional story the film shows the life of a real Mongolian family, observing them in their everyday environment. Most of the dialogue even is said to be unscripted with t
Iron Man 2008-07-16 04:04:07 When watching Iron Man
I had to get myself used to the huge screen again, as I'm nowadays used to go to smaller venues where the screens are still big, but apparently far less big than the ones from the Pathé cinemas. Another thing getting used to was the fast cutting and the explosions on screen which causes explosions of flickering light, as well as the shaky camera to capture all the action. H
Sophie's Choice 2008-07-16 03:43:36 I finally saw Sophie
's Choice
after seeing some clips from the film about a year ago. At home we have a copy of the book with the same title written by William Styron, but I haven't read it yet. So I can't make any comparisons between film and novel as I've only seen the film. Sophie's Choice might best be known as one of the two films for which Meryl Streep won an Oscar (the other was for her r
Janghwa, Hongryeon 2008-08-01 05:19:47 Lately I feel to have gotten a greater interest in horror films, especially those Asian ones which have the reputation to be amongst the best of the genre and are said to really scare you good. I however so far have never gotten really scared by a horror film, especially the ones featuring ghosts or other frightening creatures whom I just don't believe in. Most horror films feature those kinds of
La Noche De Los Girasoles 2008-08-01 04:35:17 La Noche De Los Girasoles (The Night Of The Sunflowers) features some scenes that are hard to watch and that are pretty disturbing leaving you with a bit of a fright, though they don't take away from the film's perfect setup and structure. La Noche gradually heightens the tension to a point that towards the end I was planted in my seat, unmoving just watching the screen with intense eyes to see ho
Mou Gaan Dou 2008-07-24 03:33:03 Mou Gaan Dou (Infernal Affairs) is the original first part of a trilogy The Departed by Martin Scorsese is based on. Unfortunately, like probably a lot of people, I saw the original first part after seeing The Departed. 'Cause when seeing The Departed I was impressed and surprised by the quality of it. I truly enjoyed it and still do, but having seen one of the three films it's based on, it does m
Dialogue Avec Mon Jardinier 2008-07-24 03:00:13 Dialogue Avec Mon Jardinier (Conversations With My Gardener) is an extremely funny film, a true comedy for the more mature, instead of targeted on teenagers and full of rude jokes like most films of the group actors like Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell belong to. Those films mostly present the stupid funny, with characters that are very stereotypical and wear crazy costumes and make-up. Dialogue is
Elephant 2008-07-22 04:54:17 I'm not sure how many times I've already seen Elephant, but it's still always as good as the first time I saw it. There really isn't any film like it and it's truly something else. Van Sant does an amazing job giving the film its own feel and style. He just documents the last minutes of the lives of these high school kids and never forces an opinion on you saying that this or that led to the shoot
Mar Adentro 2008-07-19 04:04:32 Mar Adentro (English title, The Sea Inside) won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Of The Year in 2005, which I have to say it very much deserved. The film challenges a, in some countries, still problematic subject matter, but manages to do so without judging. Though Ramón Sampedro (Javier Bardem) wants to die, he is willing to confront people who disagree with him and who don't feel a per
La Dolce Vita 2008-08-03 04:18:15 I watched La Dolce
Vita (The Sweet Life) in two parts, not knowing at first that it was such a long film and when I started watching it I was already a bit tired so I thought it would be better to continue the next day and I did. Dolce is a real classic, loved by many, so I couldn't wait to finally see it. Also it's a Fellini film and turns out I had never seen one of his before. I've seen films b Read more:Dolce Vita
