Just watched a couple of movies... Quantum of Solace sucked. Bewildering, nonsensical bilge, IMO. Daniel Craig is great as ... Bond in an otherwise baffling movie. Great action scenes, but no apparent coherent plot linking them together... Luxury hotels in the middle of the Bolivian desert? And they...

Haven't seen Milk yet - still eschewing cinemas... But I suspect The Times of Harvey Milk (1984) would make a good, if perhaps redundant and oppressive, documentary to watch afterward. One can only assume that everyone involved with Milk studied that documentary closely. It stands alone as a great d...

They should figure out a pecking order over the coming days. How large is the tank, and do they have adequate hiding spots? It's really important to provide multiple secluded and shady spots. The best spot will fall to the alpha loach, but they all need shelter from light and movement outside the ta...

I watched Burn After Reading tonight and thought... I didn't hate it. But the Brothers Coen desperately need to find a new formula. It was like The Fargo Variations. It had one single shocking scene and the shock was unpleasant and without warning. The actors are all good, and the story is passable ...

Ahhh. Full of roast beast and xmas whisky... Just watched Stroszek from Werner Herzog. Possibly the best xmas movie ever. The perfect antidote to It's a Wonderful Life ... Do any of you folks in Germany know this movie? 1976 is going back a bit, but Stroszek is amazing cinema. "We've got a truck on ...

The same friend who last year provided the Criterion DVD set for Seven Samurai was out this weekend and proffered Amarcord - easily Fellini's most wistful, happy, silly, nostalgic film. And what a great film! Just chock full of weird character portraits, sexual innuendo, good acting, and general may...

Rent Errol Morris' latest outing, Standard Operating Procedure. Be winded like you were by Jesus Camp. Utterly amazing - and surprising in every scene. I am just stunned by the will of this film to be a document. And a bit ill. Let the players tell it like it was, and then look at them in a new ligh...

For the record I did see Dark Knight tonight, and I didn't hate it. It was far more effective than any of the previous franchises, and the corn was actually balanced by good performances. Too bad Heath Ledger felt he had to do Nicholson all the way through it, though. Not that he did, but you know w...
