So many great scenes here. The chase in Nightcralwer, the end of Whiplash... but I love how you just said "Melanie Lynskey in Happy Christmas." Nothing more needs to be said, she's absolutely perfect. Hey Alex! A little late responding - I
Just read the article...that was pretty damn good and that does explain the 2001 shots, Trumbell borrowed from himself! Love this movie and good write up. How do you feel about the rumor that we may be getting a 6 hour version some day. I,
By this reasoning, I would have to love Tank Girl for Naomi Watts? No sale. But Matinee? Ooooh. I do love Matinee. I was SO bummed when if finally made it back into print and they did it as a bare bones disc. I was looking forward to seeing…
Damn, Bob! You are getting really good at this. Not surprised to see Argento, Yimou, and Anderson get a lot of 'montage time' but I love a lot of other stuff in there, even stuff I didn't recognize! (Still haven't caught Seijun Suzuki's PRI…
God, Bob, first effort or not, this is a genuinely spectacular piece of work! The thing I loved about it is that even amongst the more familiar titles that you referenced, you managed to find images, graphic continuity and rhythms that made…
Interesting. Ridley's "The Reflecting Skin", if it can be found, was a truly great, brooding film. I'll look forward to this one. Oh, I'll be looking for it all right...I found The Passion Of Darkly Noon at zip.ca and immediately added it t…

Wow, Ponyo looks completely different than I would have expected! I love the old school feel to it.Wow, this is really making me want to see Moon. It's on the way from amazon to my hot little hands. Such a great film.Dangnabit. That sequenc…
Yeah, Mother of Tears is not very good, especially compared to even later Argento films like Opera, but I kind of liked that evil monkey.I've only seen a few Lamberto Bava films, but would recommend Delirium over Blade in the Dark, mostly b…
Wow. You're kickin ass with the horror movies this month. I need to kick it up a notch to keep up. Now I HAVE to see House. I need to see "House" right now. And you know, for a modern horror movie, I have all kinds of respect for "Jeepers C…
This was my second last TIFF film and I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to end on its high. So I ended up skipping City of Life and Death, which I'll catch up with later.Hope to see this again and bring a few friends along. Maybe dinner afterw…
I just finished watching this. I was on the verge of tears when the update said Gigi had left the escort business and was with a man who loved and respected her - I was so happy that she'd gotten herself out of the destructive cycle. The en…
