I plan on eventually revisiting Eyes Wide Shut, as well as all of Kubrick's films, but it might take awhile. If I find that book I'll most likely check it out.

Anarchy is an appealing concept to a lot of people, at least young ones. This film takes that concept and works with it, and ultimately betrays it. Anarchy doesn't work, but I wouldn't call it...
1. Saving Private Ryan (Spielberg)
2. Thin Red Line (Malick)
3. Rushmore (Anderson)
4. Flowers of Shanghai (Hsaio-Hsien)
5. John Leguizamo’s Freak (Lee)
6. After Life (Koreeda)
7. Run, Lola Run...
People just seemed very, very disappointed with the film. Watching it and then watching the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks the puzzle fits wonderfully together. I think some people thought that the...
I've seen Peebles film, and found it flawed in many ways. I just love the way Lee reaches so high in his films. Sometimes he goes way too far over the top, but I always admire his effort. I...
Yeah but Michael McDonald singing "Up There" makes it all seem worth it. I'll admit that the childish side of South Park is what initially won me over. I never laughed harder in my life than the...
I've seen Visions of Light listed as a 1993 release, so its on my list for that year, but a damn fine documentary for any year. Also nice mention of Dracula, but I'm one of about 4 people on earth...
I've still been unable to find Edward Yang's A Brighter Summer Day, and am just being patient until it plays in a theater here, or gets a proper DVD release (god willing).
1. Terminator 2: ...
My apologies for my obscene absence from this site. I've been without a regular internet connection for about 6 months, and am only now slowly getting back into everything. Although I saw several...
Well took awhile to get back, but a few quick comments.
Sin City had no nominations of any kind.
I couldn't find a favorable review of Geisha either.
and since Chris has so frequently...
My ear's honestly. There is a distinct pattern of speech for people in Northern Minnesota. People talk very similarly in Canada as well, just as people in the South have a very distinct vocal...
I understand your personal bias to those films and therefore their performances, but I wasn't particularly moved by Charlize Theron's performance, and her accent that seemed to fluctuate in every...
I don't understand the Crash hating. I loved the film when it came out, and thought most of the members here were in a similar esteem. Crash had a stronger emotional impact on me than Brokeback. I...
Well time for the self proclaimed authority to weigh in on the broadcast.
I missed the first two hours or so, so only found out after the fact who won for animated, as well as the supporting...
What I meant is the films of those other actor-directors (through Beatty in there too) were more ambitious. I think Jones feature is a much more intimate and personal film, whereas Costner and...
I don't know if I'm surprised or disappointed that you and I had no similar films in our top tens this year Oscar. If I had excluded foreign films from my top ten, then King Kong would have made it...
Harlan County USA is also being added for May along with Viridiana, which was pulled because of a newly recorded interview which was added. The Kopple film looks loaded, and I say thank goodness,...
Let's not forget his turn in Touch of Evil.
Transamerica (2005) - Duncan Tucker
This film has it's moments. It brought Felicity Huffman a first time Oscar nomination, which we're yet to see if she can win. The film itself is humorous for...
Not on the Lips was Alain Resnais last film I believe, and I thought it came out awhile ago, but maybe it just wasn't available where Oscar was at. I don't want to get your hopes up too high for The...
Rize (2005) - David LaChapelle
I'm not sure exactly if this is nominated for best documentary this year, probably not, but nevertheless. This film was quite a catastrophe for me to see. When I...
Well if we only count theatrical features, I'm still right, but I didn't know about that film, there I go talking without validation again.
Laugh if you will, but I'm more excited about Tokyo-Ga coming out than Late Spring. I've been waiting for this Wenders (among several others still OOP), and I already have Late Spring on DVD. It is...
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) - Tommy Lee Jones
What is it about actor/directors and evocative landscapes? It seems an unavoidable urge for new found auteurs familiar with life in...
Sorry about the overhyped comment. But I believe that had Brokeback Mountain not been made out to be such a monumental achievement, then perhaps it would sit better in my esteem. I had a similar...
