Tooth And Nail. 2007  Nobody famous in it.

Not bad, but nothing new. Cannibals are fun, though.

Superbad (2007)

Finally, after months of waiting I saw Superbad. Boy was that a funny film. McLovin is so cool.

Five films over the weekend:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Milos Forman, 1975): Finally got around to seeing this, though it kept occuring me throughout the film that I had seen it many times before, in pastiche. The best scenes in the film, are by far, the ending and the scenes where all the inmates talk in their circle, the scenes when they leave the institute jar a bit. However it is very funny. Great as it is, it is not the 11th best film of all time (According to IMDB, might be old).

Il Decameron (Pier Luigi Pasolini, 1970): My first Pasolini movie and to be honest not all I was all that impressed. In a nutshell, the film which is based on a group of short Italian stories written in the 14th century, is classical eurotrash with all that implies. At least Pasolini can maintain a scene and Medieval Naples (the setting) is done very well. But I stopped paying attention to the stories last way through and the visual ambience of the film reminded me of Life of Brian. Meh.

Happy Go Lucky (Mike Leigh, 2008): This plotless film about an overly cheerful South London Primary school teacher and her odd structureless adventures can be divided into two parts: Those when she is taking driving lessons with a far-right quasi-fascistic instructor and the bulk of the film which follows her on the rest of her life. The former is at times very, very funny, the latter is dull and celebrates a life I can't celebrate no matter how much Leigh wants me to. There are some other good moments as well, including one with a crazy drunk Irishman (no cliche there!) but never gripped me.

Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders, 1984): Odd, really odd and not in a David Lynch sort of way even if it does a Lynchesque feel to parts of it. Basically a soap opera\serious drama about a man who went missing for 4 years in the Texas Desert, is then found and eventually tries to win his life back. It is no masterpiece, but is perfectly good 'art' movie. Even if a bit shallow once one begins to think about it in any serious way.

Hannah and her Sisters (Woody Allen, 1986): Easily the best of lot, A really Underrated Woody Allen movie, full of typical Allenesque themes but feels alot more whole and a lot less pretentious than some of his more recent movies. When Allen is at home (ie. Upper Class New York 'arty' types) you can really feel it, the film has an excellent sense of place. A Drama which never gets out of act two, it is imo one of the best films of the 1980s.

Woyzeck & Aguirre: Wrath of God. The former good, the latter excellent. Klaus Kinski really is a psychopath and I am guessing that Herzog isn't far behind him in that category.

First, you need to go to cheaper theaters ($6 for me), second WHAT THE F**K?! That movie was a true comedic masterpiece, just like the first. Best film of the year so far unless you count Snow Angels.

Il Decameron (Pier Luigi Pasolini, 1970): My first Pasolini movie and to be honest not all I was all that impressed.

Wow. So you started with something other than Salo? Yes, you do suck.

Dude WTF? That movie was freaking hilarious although a little slow at times. But that was only because of the more serious subject matter and perhaps they overcompensate by adding some really unnecessary and immature stuff. Overall it was damn funny.

That was pretty great. I didn't like how they sort of made Bush into a good guy but of course you could still hardly call it a pro-Bush movie.

Well its not like they endorse the Iraq war or any of his policies for that matter. They just show him as a likeable guy which I think is actually true.

I just found out that that hilarious looking new Seth Rogen movie I saw the trailer for at Harold & Kumar is directed by David Gordon Green, the guy who directed Snow Angels. Even more awesome!

Stagecoach (1939), John Wayne, Claire Trevor, D: John Ford
Point Blank (1967), Lee Marvin, D: John Boorman. I must see Bonnie and Clyde again, for I'm not sure what made Pauline Kael disparage this one while heavily promoting B&C.

Five films over the weekend:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Milos Forman, 1975): Finally got around to seeing this, though it kept occuring me throughout the film that I had seen it many times before, in pastiche.

Great as it is, it is not the 11th best film of all time (According to IMDB, might be old).

I have high expectations from this film for it took Best Picture from Barry Lyndon. Watched small portions of it in high school English as we were reading the book.

I've heard of this one, but Annie Hall didn't really click for me, probably because I'm too young.

Or MAYBE, maybe... it was the only film of his than my college library had available on that weekend (the college doesn't do a film course and its library has a very small, but rather eclectic collection). Or perhaps its just that I suck. Yes, that's it. (Actually if I had the choice I would have picked The gospel according to St. Matthew over Salo, but hey, I suck remember.)

When I saw Annie Hall I was 16 (I think) and it didn't click for me either. Wish to see it again however.

Interesting. I'm only twenty and I loved Annie Hall, it really clicked.
