I like the big boy on the right!!!! Saw the movie last night. It was very good, very European with the documentary-like footage and cinematography and the "real" dialogue instead of that dialogue where everyone always has something witty to say. And it had a great soundtrack......It is interesting to see a film about organized crime, especially since Berlusconi was re-elected.

David Schmader just lost all my respect.

I was excited to see this film, and caught it at a little theatre off Venice Blvd in Los Angeles. I stood in a line with people and we watched a homeless man throw up Jack 'n the Box across the street.

Once inside, the theatre resembled a porno house from Taxi Driver but I settled in. Dick aflop, I opened my peanut M&M's.

The beginning with the Blade-Runner-Blue-tanning salon was fine, but then it fell apart. There are long, long, long, long DULL parts to this movie. Often you don't know who's killing who and why. It's terribly constructed and squeezes way too hard to cum. It's like the filmmakers said, "Ey Luigi! Let's 'old da kamra on dem fo' 5 minutes! It'll mean someting"

It doesn't. The movie could stand to lose 40 minutes and if you think this is "a great movie", God help you.

Seriously folks. I love great movies, but this ain't one of them. If you don't believe me, these are some recent films I bought and love. Judge for yourself:

Days of Heaven
Half Nelson
Tigerland
The Edge

I agree that it drug on a bit long indeed but I pretty much understood what was going on, though it was a bit hard to follow. I guess I just like that sort of film-making A lot of French films are like that. I saw Cache several months ago with Juliette Binoche and Daniel Auteiul (spelling? what a surprise to see him in a French film!). I wanted to shove bamboo under my fingernails.

Some really good foreign films to see are:

Låt den rätte komma in (Sweden)

The Short animated film and Oscar Winner, La maison en petite cubes by Kunio Katô (Japan but in French) beautiful film!!!!!!

I second Half Nelson!!!!!

I think the bottom line (also applying to Haneke's films - Cache, etc) is: if you're patient it will be worth it.

You dudes obviously were in the mood for something a little more simple. No problem with that. I saw Outlander and it was awesome! Totally seriously, little dudes!

Please wait...
