just visually it was smart of them to have the main weapons be flame throwers in the middle of all that snow.  i was never real clear of how the thing got around and what the rules were exactly (why couldn’t it transmit itself instantaneously on contact if each cell could work separate?)  but the […]

i was loving the first two acts of this.  it does a nice job of moving at a languid pace but keeping the story constantly going.  the photography is great and i loved the overdone opticals and dissolves.  with the nice sparse soundtrack it felt more like some nice laid-back album i could put on […]

i can’t find this on imdb or other movie sites, but here are the netflix and amazon links. anyways this was great though a bit muddled and slapdash. as we first follow jupiter around it’s all internal, showing what the musicians create for the city. then we get to the rappers and […]

i like that they tried something different with the main character here, but it did get a little tiring watching an idiot the whole time. maybe just that other characters were oblivious to it. they had plenty of winks and some of those were my favorite parts - jack spouting on the cb […]

this kicked ass pretty well.  i think its greatest strength over any recent-day action movies is its total straight-faced acceptance of corniness.  the initial narration of how manhattan is a prison had me rolling my eyes pretty good, but 2 minutes later - who cares?  another example: before snake’s going in and they do a […]

i liked the nice meandering storyline but the ending was pretty disappointing.  it did not feel like a story that should end happy/heroic.  i read in the imdb trivia that he originally bombs the border patrol office, and that seems a little more appropriate.  but still it seems like he should have ended up doing […]

i’ve never liked kubrick much before but his mechanical deliberateness works real well with this over-the-top subject. we still have to sit through long explanations of how they’re going to eat and all of scatman crothers’ phone calls, but when stuff’s happening it’s happening. the whole time i was amazed at how similar […]

i wasn’t expecting much from this, and it was fine fun, but disappointing for its photography and soundtrack.  i read afterwards that there were issues with the soundtrack and it had to be replaced, but even still they could do better than what they ended up picking. 
the frivilous tone of the whole thing was […]

they kind of box themselves in with their structure, but i think do really well within that structure.  nearly every tidbit they bring up outside the trial has a small payoff, so it’s not just window dressing to the trial, but has rewards itself.  the trial itself is certainly boring, but the anger it voices […]

You're Gonna Miss Me (2005)
I Know the Hole in Baby’s Head

Posted on July 3rd, 2007

i went to this expecting it to be mediocre, but just wanted to sing along to ‘don’t slander me’.  wrong on both fronts - they don’t even play ‘don’t slander me’ and the film itself is pretty great.  i really liked the photography (all video i think) and they pace the craziness really well.  they […]
