Why the hell did your dad cut out the ending for you? I think he meant that there was a problem with downloading the file, not that his dad intentionally cut out the ending. |

I've no idea why but I reckon you just buy movies from now on, I think you should start watching some art house stuff, dude.

You know I was thinking of other arthouse fare you could use to introduce others to; Idorado if you get the chance, look for a 90's Swedish movie by the name of Festen. Without giving much away, it focuses on an upper class family celebrating their father's 60th birthday, but family secrets begin to slowly unravel creating one of the most uncomfortable yet complelling stories I have seen. Trust me, if this film does not at least get you curious into the arthouse circle then....I don't know.

Il Postino.
Really charming film. Sad, too, both in terms of the film itself and its production history.

As I got the Lone Wolf and Cub set for Christmas, I have been mostly watching those; apart from that though I did watch Jean Pierre Melville's final film Un Flic. Strange seeing Col. Trautman himself speak French to Alain Delon.

Ночной Дозор (English title: Night Watch). I'm still suprised about how good this movie actually is. The ending is even great and something you will not find in any Hollywood production.

Catfish, a documentary following a photographer's unusual relationship with an online identity on Facebook with him choosing to track down the person to get the truth on them. Quite fascinating relly, a great watch and one that is a little unsettling.
Another recent watch would be Double Edge, probably the best Filipino action schlock I've ever seen just for sheer entertainment value; normally Silver Star's films fall down in this are just for throwaway there are, this was a rip-off of Cobra with a ninja subplot.

Fantastic Planet, a French 1973 animated feature. It's trippy and riveting, something that can rarely be said of film nowadays. Nice to see, though for a trippy riveting film today, make sure to see Enter the Void sometime down the line. Just be warned it's a tough, but amazing sit. |

Nice to see, though for a trippy riveting film today, make sure to see Enter the Void sometime down the line. Just be warned it's a tough, but amazing sit. Personally I was incredibly disappointed by Enter The Void, watching the extended version was an experience...but only for the first hour and 45 minutes or so. Then it became an absolute slog to watch, not to mention by the end I could not care less about the characters (mostly due to the at times awful acting, especially from the female lead) and the visuals while gorgeous again for me felt recycled a lot or just unnecessary before the end. Case in point, the love motel section at the end was SO overblown and dull it made the sex scenes in Caligula look erotic. I still want to watch Irreversible, as that sounds like a far better film by Gaspar Noe. But honestly, I would not recommend Enter The Void as a beginner's arthouse film. Easily my most disappointing film of 2010. |

However, the last film I watched was Ghost in the Shell 2. Now bear in mind I had not seen this film for at least 3 years and back then I was not terribly fond of it compared to the original; now though with more experience I have come away from my second viewing and I now believe it to be as good as the original. Never thought I'd say that myself. Also brilliant end credits song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHxEj3UvmNs |

1988's Dead Heat, one of the dumbest "what-if" films I've ever seen; full of cliches, ridiculous scenarios, dialogue and jokes that are funny mainly because they're trying. Original for a zombie film, a bizarre shoe-horn effort for a buddy cop flick, I love it.

Well the last film I saw was believe it or not Al Pacino's Scarface. Yep, I hadnt seen it all the way through before so I thought why not. No need to go further really, you have be dead inside to not find some enjoyment in the movie. A pure blast of classy 80's excess. Lastly, epic Georgio Morodor score is epic. |
