Re: Movie Tab II

Nice review, Matt.

Saw it myself this afternoon and was very impressed. A wonderfully noirish, chiaroscuro vision of Brown's legacy of escalating knife/gun crime.

Oh and Sleezy, good shout with...

No, no mate, thank you for the recommendations. I'm glad I checked them out and reading my Prisoner review back, it does come off a bit harsh. I liked Prisoner a great deal more than Hanzo. I may...

I don't see how Herzog choosing 'not to show Treadwell's final moments' were 'in poor taste'. It may be just me but my pallet has never really catered for real-life Bear mauling. When Herzog listened...

Re: Movie Tab II

Nice work Mark F, Andrei Rublev is probably my favourite Tarkovsky flick :)

And I love Nightmare Alley too.

Re: Movie Tab II

Come and See is the best film out of that bunch I reckon, Haz. The Pawnbroker must be one of the most underrated Lumet flicks as well - the symbiotic fusion of art and genre makes it really...

I rarely agree with anything you say Meat but your honesty is refreshing. I love your frankness.

Belle de Jour is probably the most accessible Bunuel film - there are a few of his pattended surrealist touches and his contemptible attitude towards the bourgeoisie is plain to see - i'm glad you...

You boys are so lucky to have Criterion. The only Kobayashi film to have a DVD release over in England is Kwaidan but admittedly if there is one to put into print that'll be it.

Re: Movie Tab II

I'd start with A bout de souffle if I were you. That will get you acquainted with his style and methods. I you were ask me to pick my favourite Godard though, it would probably be Pierrot le fou.
