Rosemary's Baby would be next for me after Ghost/Frantic. I just really love his approach to mainstream thrillers.

2012-02-12T20:37:04.008-08:00

Haven't seen Frantic, but my favorite is easily Rosemary's Baby. Ghost isn't nearly as good as that, so that's my barometer. Will add Frantic to my mental queue.

2012-02-12T15:51:39.758-08:00

I think The Ghost Writer is Polanski's masterpiece, but I don't seem to line up with the canon when it comes to the guy (Frantic > Chinatown).

Oh, hey! Yes, it took me forever to watch it because I was sure it'd be boring. I was happily wrong.

Thanks, nice review.

I didn't make it through her latest. Combination of broken english subtitles on my copy, and the movie seeming lame.

So I got a different download and it's a different set of songs, so maybe try your hand on that one?

I'm thinking that it is, especially since I just got a new computer yesterday, re-downloaded it, and it sounds the same.

It just...kinda sucks. :( She doesn't pull off this punk rock thrashy stuff very well at all.

My favourite is Teqkilla at the moment. Are you thinking it's not the real version?

2010-07-04T04:08:48.110-07:00

It's funny, I was sent the album by a friend ages ago and I only recently became obsessed with it. At first I was more meh. It definitely benefits multiple listens.

I have heard the new M.I.A., I'm not that into it yet. A bit too much noise. I love "Steppin' Up" and "XXXO," but the rest remains to be seen...or heard.

2010-07-04T01:02:23.695-07:00

I was really excited about Marina after Mowgli's Road too, but I found the album not living up to that great track?

Did you listen to the new MIA yet? :D

2010-04-16T09:04:04.450-07:00

Fair enough, and its admirable for that--I just think both leads are a little too over the top as characters, with no hints as to whether they've always been that way or what. At times it just seemed like "let's throw two crazy people on screen and see what happens", which is not to sell the film short--a lot of good stories have been made on exactly that premise. If that was the intention, then it did a fine job. I would have liked it more if it wasn't just that, however.

2010-04-15T23:55:26.472-07:00

It is the most intimate in that it doesn't pull any punches. Nothing is softened or made more easily digested. Cassavetes makes you see everything. The film isn't about the love between the two characters, it is about the dysfunction.

Interesting. You say it`s the most intimate film, ...

2010-04-12T21:39:51.719-07:00

Interesting. You say it`s the most intimate film, yet admit that it`s cold and the characters are at arms` length. I just don`t think the whole approach gels 100%. I definitely appreciate the uncomfortable feeling it generates in the viewer, and the way it makes you confront said feeling. I just think it has its flaws.

Don`t mind the wonky apostrophes, I`m not on my own computer right now!

2010-04-11T15:36:48.115-07:00

I always say this, but A Woman Under The Influence is the most intimate film ever made. And Cassavetes purposely kept the relationship between Mabel and Nick at arms length through the film, he felt it was more about the individuals reactions to the relationship rather than the relationship itself, so the colder the better. He even went as far as cutting a scene of them lovingly walking down the street hand in hand.

2010-04-08T11:15:44.828-07:00

Heh, no, but I just recently learned how to take screencaps properly and have been going through my dvds doing just that.

Agreed! As is most of the movie.

Well, Alice I saw with my brother and didn't pay for. Shutter Island, I guess I didn't read the crappy reviews and I'm a Scorsese fan...so I thought it would at least be decent! League, I was just in the mood for something light and it was a late showing. I was too tired to think! :P

You're a braver moviegoer than I. Ghost Writer & Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are the only flicks out I'm willing to drop cash on.
