I watched "Beyond the Black Rainbow" last night. This movie has been compared to "2001: A Space Odyssey", and the movie certainly goes for a very 70's era sci-fi look rather then try to look modern. Its definitely a movie that might need more then one viewing for it to really sink in, the images are great. Anyone else see it?

I thought it was very enjoyable. old school fantasy/sci fi sometimes does not translate well to today's sensibilities.

I'm interested, but for no explicable reason than I more or less enjoy Wes Anderson movies, especially when Bill Murray is involved. Wait, when is Bill Murray NOT in a Wes Anderson movie?

It's a great film. The two kids who play lead are just brilliant too.

![]() yall need to go watch this. especially if you're american. ![]() its a documentary about some old indonesian guys that the cia funded to kill the indonesian communist movement. they decide to recreate their murders in the hopes of making it into a compelling hollywood movie, like the gangster films that inspired them as they were murdering their fellow countrymen. you'll understand what i'm talking about when you see the morality on display in this film. the way "anwar congo" only empathizes with his murdered victims when he watches back his own video of himself acting out these murders in 1960's hollywood gangster attire. its more REAL and fucked up than any horror film. |

recently seen:
"Upstream Color"- Dallas boy done good... one of the best of the year- challenging and impeccably edited. "Something In the Air"- another best of the year so far.... I just love the films of Olivier Assayas and this one feels so lived in "Dancing In the Dust"- debut film of Asghar Farhadi ("A Separation"), very hard to find but worth the adventure. Boy divorces young wife due to social presure and stows away in the back of a van that ends up in the middle of the desert with a slient old snake catcher. The tonal shifts are jarring. "Now You See Me"- just terrible.... explains every plot point and every one is a smirking douchebag "The Bling Ring"- Sofia Coppola has become the queen of disaffected youth, and this may be her most underrated film yet. It's a study in vapidity, executed with such style and cinematic prowess that one almost forgets its really just an updated version of Bret Easton Ellis and his young, chain smoking, status-obsessed L.A. denizens. "Man of Steel"- Loved the first half (and Kevin Costner deserves a supporting actor nom this year), checked out in the second half when CGI and big bad battles become the focus. "The Burglars"- terrific, lost 70's Jean Paul Belmondo/Omar Shariff heist film. The opening robbery is amazing and it just gets better from there. "Stories We Tell"- A documentary by wonderful filmmaker/actress Sarah Polley, turning the lens on herself and her own family as she scalpels away at the truth of the infectious personality of mom Diane and exactly what happened in the late 70's. Using direct interviews, grainy home video footage and even actor-portrayed recreations, "Stories We Tell" charts the timeline of her family with judicious investigation. Why doesn't she look like the rest of her family? What causes a marriage to fade into boredom and familiarity? And what's the responsibility of future generations to trace the truth of past ones? All of these questions are answered in Polley's capable hands, at great personal cost to all. Best film of the year so far. |

Oh, and re-watched this also
![]() Liked it again. 9/10 Just like reading the old Avengers comic books. Ruffalo made a great Banner, very funny line delivery.

![]() Dances With Wolves One of the last great mainstream Hollywood Westerns, for me, before the likes of Jim Jarmusch and The Coen Brothers indied the fuck out of them. |

Dead Man is amazing. No Country for Old Men is amazing as well. Unforgiven is amazing.
Dances with Wolves is BORING. I fucking wanted to fall asleep watching that stupid shit.

I love Dead Man and No Country For Old Men and the True Grit remake and all the others mentioned. I just have a real soft spot for more traditional Westerns, too. But any Western would have to be really terrible for me not to like it at least a little bit.
Of the more recent indie westerns, my favourite is probably Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Although, like No Country..., it's not really a Western in the traditional sense. |
