Movie Tab II

The Sweet Hereafter

Very good melodrama film, though I actually believed in Nicole when she testified.

Foreign Correspondent -

I don't like Hitchcock in general, though I liked Vertigo and Psycho quite a lot. I found this particular movie very, very, very boring.

Because they are the stuff they always watch.

Ludicrous assertion, I watch everything trying to like it and speak the language it talks to me. Sometimes I can't like it but that's natural, I give it a chance.

Calling PMMM "cute girls anime" is analogous to saying that a movie like Vertigo is pornography because the main actress is beautiful.

K-On! is an interesting film because it does something that no other film I watched does. It is an important cultural achievement in a way, since it represents a genre that did not exist a few years ago (not in full bloom at least), like a pioneer film of the horror genre such as Nosferatu (1922).

Ludicrous!!

PMMM = cute girls anime

Plenty of films do it better than K-On!. K-On! equals turd, exclamation mark!.

Cobpyth's Movie Log ~ 2019

The really striking parts of Olympia are when she adds in "recreated" scenes where the camera is following a runner over his shoulder or the coxswain right in his face. At the beginning of each part, there are expressionistic scenes showing the origin of the ancient Olympic Games and an idyllic episode by a lake and at a sauna. The original intent of the film may have been to document the superiority of the Germans, but the actual results surprisingly show America and Jesse Owens thwarting Hitler at almost every turn.

달콤한인생 [A Bittersweet Life] (2005) - (The best Kim Jee-woon movie with a glorious lead performance from Lee Byung-hun! Melville + Neo-noir + Chan-wook Park + melee combat + sublime atmosphere intersected with brutal scenes + atypical love + great cinematography + vengeance + find out what!)

Added A Bittersweet Life to my watchlist.
