Melvin Goes to Dinner

This movie is purely about random conversation & the stories that come from such conversation. This conversation can, and often is, quite trivial at times, and that's the beauty of it. This isn't Noam Chomsky here...this is pure entertainment pulled off by a group of big city thirty-something strangers, firing thoughts back & forth with one another and challenging one another's inherent beliefs in an attempt to know one another better, but in the end gaining insight into their own, sheltered, personal lives.
Subject matter aside, I believe that the acting in this movie was terrific. Facial expressions & interaction were the key to pulling off this movie, and Melvin & his dinner companions pulled it off in fantastic fashion.
Also, Bob Oderkirk's directing was top notch. The constant camera movement, the use of hand held cams, the shot selection, and the construction of flashbacks all really kept the flow and pacing of this movie at a high level. It's extremely difficult to pull something like this off in a movie that is essentially four people talking, but Odenkirk makes it look effortless. Surely we are just beginning to see the great directing possibilities that lie in Odenkirk's able hands.



Not everyone will like this movie.

Capturing The Friedmans is a documentary that "captures" a family during the good times, the bad times, and...the ugly times. These men are guilty. The film shows the effects of perverse desire. It destroyed a family. Plain and simple. What these men committed was wrong. The Documentary asks us, if the events happened at all or were grossly exaggerated. Did the documentary do a good job at giving out all the information? Perhaps, just enough to give intrigue. The beauty of the film lies in the happiness we see on the Friedman home videos. It's the model image. What lies under the surface are truth's of human nature. The ability to capture these truth's is a difficult task for any family. The Documentary is able to capture these truth's and the effect is painful.

This Family wasn't ownly Fucked up. But they are FUCKED UP! I mean what they did was Fucked Up and there all Just FUCK UP! I wan't to say this is a bad movie just on what Mr. Friedman and his son did but in all as a movie it was put together pretty well. I believe that they did it and the they got what they deserved.

I gave the movie a 6/10

I'm going to go watch somthing funny now.

Thirteen

plot: At the edge of adolescence, Tracy is a smart straight-A student--if not a little naive. When she befriends Evie, the most popular and beautiful girl in school, Evie leads Tracy down a path of sex, drugs and self-mutilation. As Tracy transforms herself and her identity, her world becomes a boiling, emotional cauldron fueled by new tensions between her and her mother--as well as, teachers and old friends

Nightstalker

I just watch this movie last night and it was horrible. Instead of making a movie about the Nightstalker, they made a movie about a woman cop that was over her head. A movie about the Nightstalker could be a really good movie but this one isn't. Most of the facts in this movie are wrong. i.e. when he hearing the demons voice in the movie he covers both ears, in real life Robert Ramirez said that he only heard in one ear ( the right ear I believe). The pacing of the movie was SLOW. The only lines the guy who play Ramirez had were 'Do you believe in Satan?' 'Do you love Satan?' The director (Chris Fisher) must have been a fan of the movie Spun (he was a associate producer on that movie), because the same headshaking routing was used over, and over, and over, and over again. YAWN!

I hope someone remakes this movie because it coulld be a good movie. As long a they focus on Robert Ramirez more.

May

May is a young strange girl who had a very disturbed childhood and does not still know the meaning of true friendship or love. She works at a pet clinic and lives alone with her only "true friend"; a doll her mother gave her when she was a little girl. When she fails to find the "perfect man" that will make her happy, she decides to construct him herself, using parts from different people.

The last movie I saw was waking life it was fan-freekin-taskic! So fan-freekin-tastic I bought it the next day.

[Kuroneko Ami]

DuD, I saw "Capturing The Friedmans" a few weeks ago, too.

Damn.

I mean DAAAMN. That was... an interesting experience. The kind of thing where you're not really certain how you're supposed to feel after it's all over.

I can't seem to get a copy of Waking Life on DVD. Mind you, I haven't tried too hard since the horrible runaround I got after trying to back-order it through BestBuy. That'll teach me.

Yeah it a crazy.


I just got around to watching "Lost in La Mancha", And it was awsome and made me sad. I give it a 10/10. If you don't know what this Documentary is about:

In August 2000, master filmmaker Terry Gilliam finally got his oppurtunity to create his dream film he laboured for a decade, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. Assembling his film crew, he prepares his production in what promises to be the biggest budgeted feature film using only European financing, although it is meagre compared to Hollywood standards. However for all his creativity and enthusiasm, the film is immediately plagued with an improbable series of disasters ranging from scheduling conflicts, budget cuts, studio and location problems and worse that threaten to doom the film.

Well I have to start my posting somewhere.

I saw Elephant yesterday:
Based on the columbine incident if you will.
Pretty good, very fetchy and weird, directed a lot like Kids and Ken Park.

also saw Butterfly Effect the other day, also very weird, very cool though. A lot better than I thought it would be.
Brings up some great views on externalism and does something films havn't done for a very long time with chaos theory.

City of God (CIDADE DE DEUS)

Director Fernando Meirelles has an eye for realism and detail. The most disturbing thing about City of God is the fact that the killers are children playing adult games before they can be children. It is a well known fact that these kids' gangs created terror, not only in the favelas where they lived, which was unfortunate, but they mugged, robbed and just plain terrorized the big cities in Brazil. News about street children being shot in the streets of Rio or Sao Paolo were perceived as criminal because of the ages, but one can get a clearer picture in this film by coming to the realization these same children were killing real grown ups and getting away with murder.

8/10

and

Elephant

This movie is a fictional story, but it is essentially a retelling of the Columbine High massacre. It only spans maybe an hour in time, but it coves the points of view of a lot of people, of victims to bystanders to the murderers themselves, from what the media was telling the public who wasn't there to see it. It's a particularly important piece because of its storytelling style. Van Sant has the camera follow one character at a time, on the day of the murders, and lets the story tell itself. It is about as neutral as one can get, really. Van Sant doesn't use foreshadowing, he doesn't frame any character up as a particular archetype, he doesn't play ominous music, and the dialogue is about as inane and high school-ish as you can get, very realistic actually. There are no jokes. the is an exaggeration in all off all characterís stereotypes, exspeiclly in the murders who are watching stuff on WWII, looking up guns on the internet, and wait theyíre different so they my be gay. Over all it another good Gus Van Sant film 6.5/10. I'm looking foreward to his next movie Last Days with Michael Pitt stars in a Seattle-set rock & roll drama as a musician whose life and career is reminiscent of Kurt Cobain's.
