<strong>Group Name:</strong> Movies we do not want to see - Try to convince us to see these movies!<br/>
<strong>Group Description:</strong> Want to be a member? Send me a message with a list of at least 5 movies that you do not want to see.  

There are many movies that I do not want to see.  I'm not sure if its right of me to decide never to see a movie without seeing it.  You know...like when a kid says they hate mushrooms even though they admit never trying them.  So maybe this is a good spot for people to display movies they don't think they want to see, and see if anyone can convince us to try them out. <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> I think its fits in nicely within the Coen ouevre (i.e. people, sometimes dumb, sometimes not, getting involved in situations way over the heads) and they must have needed a break after they're masterpiece of No Country for Old Men and the grand attention it got....the problem with the film is that the thriller aspects of the film occur too late into the third act. So, in the meantime, the audience has to get by on enjoying the wild, over the top acting.....which is pretty good for the most part. However, if you are going to cast Pitt AND Clooney its going to be a distraction anyway - but when they are both trying so hard to give it that "Raising Arizona" intensity its alot to take in. Malkovich, McDormand, Swinton and Jenkins, all great actors, are sucked into the mayhem of the wildness of the script and are overwhelmed by it.*** / ***** No Country for Old Men (2007)<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> KidsFrom a narrative and directing standpoint this film rivals the best of documentary filmmaking.  Except, its not a documentary.  Its a disgusting cautionary tale of trash culture.  Its an urban nightmare influenced by the AIDS epidemic.  How in the hell did Larry Clark pull this off?  How in the hell is he not in prison now?  This is a brilliant and sick film.****out of *****p.s. the first time I saw this no one knew of Chloe Sevigny - but she is at the core of this film and carries most of its emotional weightMODIFICATION - I thought about this some more and since the film is truly repellent I gotta knock off 1/2 star<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Donnie Brasco****/*****A very interesting turn for Pacino in a middle level mobster role.  Based on a true story and directed by the same guy that did Four Weddings and a Funeral - odd mixture.  Depp is fantastic and Heche is very good/sexy in an early role for her.  I see black comedy in the particularly brutal scenes.A non-conventional mobster tale - more of a character study of the Pacino/Depp characters.  Pixote, I think it would make the top 100 list for the 90s but it would not make the top 50.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> in Hey, I love the Blues, I like Ricci (until she has those 'Oscar moment dialogues' near the end), I love Ricci in other stuff especially Buffalo 66' and The Ice Storm, I love Jackson and greatly respect the fact that he learned the guitar on this film.  Justin Timberlake - - not so good.  I found him much more appealing in his small role in Southland Tales.  He was awful!In fact, its the Timberlake sequence with the preacher near the end as well as the end itself which is contrived.  The ending is pure Hollywood tripe and I do not buy it.After the film, I will pick up my guitar and attempt again to play it well.  Watching a bit of the Blu-Ray extra features solidified my views on the film - this was strategic Hollywood product. ** 1/2 / *****   Buffalo '66 (1998) The Ice Storm (1997) Southland Tales (2006)<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Paul Verhoeven - 2006On the heels of Starship Troopers I ventured through this and it took me three nights to do so because of various distractions.  My feelings are that this is certainly his premier film, his 6th feature after RoboCop (filmed in my home town of Dallas).  It is interesting to see (and perhaps poll?) directors' finest efforts six to seven films in.  Watch the "making of."  Verhoeven has an irresistable love of the medium and the energy of a first time director.The female leads in the film are outstanding.  Carice van Houten and Halina Reign brilliantly capture the desperate attempt to stay alive using sexuality and male manipulation.  In this sense, Verhoeven gives Camille Paglia a run for her money and solidifies himself as a Dutch feminist.The production value of the second act is weak and is the only hint at the relatively small budget that Verhoeven had on the picture &ndash; it does play like a weak Sunday night television thriller.This stands among the best of Holocaust films.  It is on par with http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077025/ and better than Schindler&rsquo;s List.  Its a thiller that stands above all Verhoeven&rsquo;s previous work.  I think it&rsquo;s the film that he was meant to make.  Again, watch the "making of."  His lead stars agree with me.**** / *****

<strong>Body:</strong> I liked the sort of atmospheric prison sequences near the beginning, and really enjoyed Sally Struthers in that odd little role.  Ali McGraw really drags the movie down in every scene she's in.  I enjoyed the colorful set of crooks.

<strong>Body:</strong> A companion piece to Black Book only for the significant contribution of Sebastian Koch as Georg Dreyman.  But Ulrich M&uuml;he takes the film and its heart.  In a way Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler is a poor man's Oskar Schindler but in this case - he is a champion of the arts first.
The production values on the film are first rate (filmed in David Fincher greens ala Zodiac) and the palpable fear of 1980s East Germany is brilliantly portrayed.  Back to Black Book.  The story concerns the totalitarian state in its last phase just as in Black Book's Nazi Holland.The story of Surveillance harkens back to The Conversation in the way it affects the lives of those on both sides of the table.  Earlier this week 'name the plot game' had this as the answer but could have very well been The Conversation.The only weakness in the film is the pat way Wiesler is dismissed at the end.Really enjoyed this film and Ulrich M&uuml;he's performance is fantastic.
The Conversation (1974)

Earlier this week 'name the plot game' had this as the answer but could have very well been The Conversation.The only weakness in the film is the pat way Wiesler is dismissed at the end.Really enjoyed this film and Ulrich M&amp;uuml;he's performance is fantastic.
The Conversation (1974)

<strong>Body:</strong> Just watched this on the new blu-ray release.  What a beautiful film from the original Technicolor years.  Errol Flynn is a remarkably talented athlete and did most of his own stunts.  The results are as fresh as any pre CGI effort.  The battle scenes reflect the humanity of the situation in which is persecuted just wanted to join the persecutors and end the coup d'&eacute;tat.  The colors are vivid and the production is grand.  Really enjoyed it and my kids did so even more.**** / *****<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> My second exposure (after Fog of War) to Errol Morris.  Blue Line is like a perfect mathematical sequence in its story telling and editing.  Being an older film than Fog, Blue Line does lack some of the energy of the latter film but I think that has to do with limited footage.  Since I knew the eventual consequences of the film it added that very interesting twist to it as well.  The real culprit of the crime is a genuinely creepy dude as are the supposed "witnesses" to it.  It really is unbelievable that this happened to that poor guy.In the end justice did prevail. ***1/2 / *****

<strong>Body:</strong> I loved this film.  The pairing of the very related stories is fresh, hip and alive in a way completely foreign to me.  What little I know of Godard and the New Wave was in presentation here, I think.  Ironically, my parents lived in Hong Kong when this film was made and I spent a good amount of time there myself.  The film really captures the incredible energy of the place.  The movie is very sexy and so are the female leads, especially Faye Wong, playing &ldquo;Faye&rdquo; in the second of the two stories.  She is delightful and I won&rsquo;t soon forget her jamming to The Mamas and the Papas.As for Wong Kar-Wai?  This was also my introduction to his work.  I know very little of the guy but this film is certainly ripe with Americana.   Has he lived here?  There is an odd little food fetish theme that runs throughout that is really sweet and familiar.  Basically, this is a wonderfully sweet film in its narrative.  The handheld camera work was executed to perfection, as were the jump cuts and freeze frames.To those of you that are sometimes reluctant to &ldquo;get out of the box&rdquo; in your film viewing (and when I look back at my list of favorite films, I am guilty of same) try this as an alternative.  Thank you dictator jbissel!  (and sorry about the late review folks)**** 1/2  / *****p.s. the DVD's Tarantino intro and postscript are really cool - he has a real love for this guy<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> This is Altman vs. Anderson, plus Ice Storm and Affliction and a little Sweet Hereafter plus Warner Brothers plus the saddest no dialogue communication scene involving the death of a child (with the possible exception of Sean Penn inMystic River) plus Todd Fields plus a score that could have been much better had DGG hired me.  Plus Warner Brothers (is their final stamp all over it or am I silly b****).  Amy Sedaris (absolutely love her) casting really bad.  Rockwell and Beckinsale earned a new respect from me &ndash; its melodrama that generally gets me anyway.  The random trio (older black man, middle-aged woman and Rockwell) scene is very touching.  The ending - a misogynistic portrayal of divorce?  Been through one, related to the film in that way.First David Gordon Green and I admire it.

<strong>Body:</strong> Gus Van Sant exploring his familiar Northwest American childhood detachment and apathy.  This is among his best work - in the same league with Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho and Elephant.  I cannot wait to watch this again soon.  It really is a companion piece to Elephant without the abject horror.  I know of these skatepark guys - I have seen them and met them recently and I used to do a bit of this myself back in the day - in this film a culture that signifies a generation or generations of youngsters alienated by the CNN new culture of bad news and the breakdown of the family in all its nastiness.  The scene between Alex (Gabe Nevins) and his wayward father (Jay 'Smay' Williamson) near the end serves as an afterthought given the make up of Alex and his droogs.  It is truly amazing how Van Sant captures this culture in a way far more superior to MTV, Nick Jr, you know what I mean.  I am too old to watch those stations.  This is stark realism set to an amazing soundtrack.  If and when you watch the DVD, keep the subtitles on for the song references - it will build a nice play list.  The only rub on the film is the blithe treatment of the early female love interest, the cheerleader who dreams of more condoms and superficial love.  Otherwise I agree with Adam, certainly one of the best films of the year. Drugstore Cowboy (1989)    <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> First time viewing of the caper.  Set during The Depression, the story is strangely modern given today's economic blight with failing banks and such.  Beatty and Dunaway embody the characters and make for an electric pair.  The impotency story thread was a complete surprise but I'm glad Clyde got it sorted out - Dunaway is stunningly beautiful.  The violence is also a surprise at is escalates in the final act of the film climaxing with the famous shootout.  The similarities with Badlands are limited to the basics of the plot.  Otherwise this has nothing in common with it.  Great supporting turns by Michael J. Pollard (did he ever break from the mold of playing the part of C.W. Moss?), Hackman and Estelle Parsons.  Good stuff.<br/>

Otherwise this has nothing in common with it.  Great supporting turns by Michael J. Pollard (did he ever break from the mold of playing the part of C.W. Moss?), Hackman and Estelle Parsons.  Good stuff.</spout:body></item>
