A Heartbreaking Blog of Staggering Genius

Selections from the movie bin  

When I find the time, I’m going to start penning more extensive reviews for our DVD blog. However judging by the amount of stuff I’m struggling with right now, that might be a while.

Enough chatter for now.

Dellamorte Dellamore

Wonderful stuff! Titties, zombies and weirdo social commentary. A must see.

Haine

Technically stunning with good acting from the leading trio and a message (that might be a tad simplistic but still important). Well worth seeing.

Lashou shentan

I’m speechless. A wholesomely silly gun ballad from Woo that’s quite enjoyable exactly because it’s so airheaded.

Ladykillers

The Coen bros’ downhill slide deepens. I’m sad.

Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo

Masterful work from Leone. Not a minute was wasted, not a square inch of screen real estate left unused.

Spider-Man 2

Better than the first, still overwritten at times.

Touching the Void

A real (in all senses of the word) survival story that combines bare-bones interviews with reenacments that add visual drive.

Safe

Why do the critics love Todd Haynes? Safe is okay but nothing to go wild about, if you ask me.

Rivičres Pourpres

What a lousy carbon copy of Seven.

Invasions Barbares

A must-see. ‘Nuff said.

Dummy

Jovovich is irritating as ever, the soundtrack is overwrought but still the movie holds some charm. Recommendable.

Gozu

Oh for fuck’s sake.

Producers

A real disappointment. I’m beginning to doubt if Brooks was ever funny.

Where Eagles Dare

A charming old school WW2 adventure romp with a powerful climax. Unfortunately the movie ends about an hour after that. A passable popcorn side dish.

Hafiš

Impressive, beautiful, sad. Ignore Ebert, see this.

Out Of Sight

A career high for Clooney and Lopez. Not quite as enjoyable as Ocean’s Eleven, but then again the style’s quite different.
