Movies you've recently watched

[Josquius]

Les Triplettes de Belleville - Wow. Absolutely amazing. What is the era they're imitating here? 50s? Its lovely.

[frunk]

Up.  Not bad, the overall story is weaker than most Pixar but the individual moments are just as powerful and well done.

[Grey Fox]

Push.

Dakota Fanning is growing up good.

You should try the 1972 Tarkovsky original. 

Both pale imitations of the actual original...novel.

Point was that movies don't get much slower moving than the 1970s version of Solaris.

Sure they do; Andy Warhol's "Sleep" and "Empire" make the original "Solaris" look like a Michael Bay movie.

What was the gist of Empire?

What was the gist of Empire?

Andy Warhol Shot the Empire State Building from the Rockefeller Center for 6 hours straight and then slowed down the film so it ran for eight hours.  The filming started in the evening and ends after the floodlights had been turned off of the Empire State Building so the final part of the film is in almost total darkness.

Only movies that people actually watch as entertainment qualify. 

Tarkofsky, I do love his stuff, but he is addicted to loooong shots of "guys pointlessly driving around Moscow while rain falls".

Up was cute.

I'm going to see that tonight.

If you like very slow movies, with a tinge of mysticism, rent the documentary Le Grand Silence: it is the first documentary on la Grande Chartreuse, a very famous French monastery. Not much shown here, except the extraodinary cinematography, the devotion of the monks, the atmosphere of the cloister... Very good.

The future is unwritten: joe strummer

biodoc on John Mellor/Joe Strummer. Director Julian Temple plunders pop culture for lots of footage and animate some scenes based on Joe's cartoons. he makes the artistic decision not to identify any of the interviewees on screen, so you have no clue sometimes who is speaking (is that Palmolive? John Cooper Clark? Steve Jones? who's that yanqui, Joe Ely?)

inexplicably they have clips of Bono( who wears sunglasses at night) and Johnny Depp weighing in on Joe's legacy. whatever. Depp even has the pirate beard on so its kinda funny.

anyhow, good movie for clash/old school punk fans.

Drag me to hell. Entertaining. liked the ending.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Saw the Dead Like Me movie.  She hasn't aged well at all.  She's in her late 20's if I'm not mistaken and looks 2x that. 

Movie itself was kinda weird.  That's the only way I can describe it. Weird.  I enjoyed it.

Yesterday, the French CBC showed «The Sweet Hereafters», which is one of my favourite movies... and I realized that the character of Billy was played by the same actor who ten years later played the Captain which Kirk & Co. try to save in the last Star Trek...

She has always appeared prematurely aged.
