Fanny and Alexander is the shit. Persona is great but too fucking psychoanalytical and tortured for me to watch repeatedly. I prefer Bibi Anderson in Wild Strawberries. Yes, yes, I prefer a happy fucky muse than a tormented nurse. If you liked the tortured stuff look at his early early films, everyone suffering like a Russian novel. Shit like "Crisis" or "Torment" (he only did the screenplay). ANyway Winter Light is about some poor tortured fuck again, but the cinematography is the eye cum. Sven Nykvist was a fucking genius. Well he shot Persona too, which is why the cinematography is better than the story here. God damn his pictures are incredible. Winter Light was before Persona.

DO NOT watch scenes from a marriage until you've been living with someone for a while. The way the 70s were retarded is hilarious.

But Fanny and Alexander I cannot recommend enough. The long (TV) version if you can find it (Criterion has it).

It's great. Bergman's only horror film, as far as I know. It has a unique, rather surreal mood that I love. Overall not one of his best films perhaps, but it's worth seeing.

My favorites by Bergman are the TV version of Fanny and Alexander, Cries and Whispers, Persona and Through a Glass Darkly.

The word "disappointment" just got a new meaning.

Big Lebowski is one of those movies that EVERYONE seems to like, but I just don't get what's so great about it. Another one like that is Super Troopers. People swear that movie is funny, but I don't see it. Same with The Hangover. And how come people think The Crow is a good movie? Or Inception? Or Dogma?

My take...

Lebowski: GREAT!
Super Troopers: GREAT!
The Hangover: DOG SHIT!
The Crow: DOG SHIT!
Inception: DOG SHIT!
Dogma: GREAT!

I tend to agree. Hellraiser is a great idea and has some great moments but Clive Barker really is a fairly shit director. If ever a horror movie needed remaking, it's that one.

And while we're on the subject of films that everyone seems to like but which I just can't get the appeal of at all, it's Aliens, which just bores me senseless and is easily my least favourite in the Alien series which, just for the hell of it, I'd probably rank as:

1. Alien
2. Alien 3
3. Alien Ressurection
4. Aliens

I've not seen any of the Alien v Predator movies, if they count.

Though, for some reason I can't help but say I enjoyed it to some extent. Also, I find it strange that "Pinhead" is the only character I've seen on the posters for the film, the one that gets mentioned the most, and yet I only remember seeing him in (at best) 4 scenes which weren't very long. ha..

I disagree. The first Hellraiser to me is an absolutely perfect movie. I've watched it so many times. I love it.

noisereductions · 09.22.2011, 12:37 PM

ah yeah I kind of forget yr not a big horror fan. Anyway, I just always felt Hellraiser was really just crazy and awesome and had a really unique vibe about it. I've seen almost all of the sequels. None of them are that great. But the first movie, I don't konw. It just hits me the right way.

Can't say I'm too crazy about all the remakes and sequels that are released... but I am kind of interested at least to see how it turns out.

Well, I really enjoyed Yes Man, I love you Philip Morris, Bruce Almighty, etc..

I just think this was the totally wrong genre of movie for me...he can do so much better.

btw, my favourite JC movie overall is probably The cableguy or The Truman Show..

Red State

8/10

While I admittedly haven't seen that many Kevin Smith movies (seen Clerks, Mallrats, and Dogma), it's a little unusual for him to make something that's not supposed to be 100% funny. I usually don't like obvious allusions (the church/cult were a combination of the Branch Davidians at Waco and the Westboro Baptist Church), but in this case it works.. John Goodman was good, as always, (spoiler in black) though it would've been funnier if they'd shown him headbutt the church/cult leader than just talk about it.

ALSO

Natural Born Killers

9/10

Am I a bad person for having felt a bit sorry for Mallory? Of course no sane person would've supported her and Mickey going on a killing spree, but it's not like she wasn't messed up from being abused by her dad...speaking of her dad, I never thought Rodney Dangerfield could convincingly play a character the audience is supposed to hate, but he pulled it off. I like how the film satirized how violent American culture can be, and the weird cinematography in the first half....personally, I did not feel sorry for the talk show host...am I a bad person for that too?

Adjustment Bureau (6/10)

The Matrix meets It's a Wonderful Life. Nothing really to write home about but Matt Damon is quite good
