<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 appreciated the glimpses behind the scenes of this enigmatic yet unassuming leader. I had no idea he had studied nuclear physics... I was struck by the power in his humility. The anecdotes regarding Sadat and Begin at Camp David were eye-opening. (Also, cool title treatments for you typography geeks out there...)<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> If you liked reading like Krakauer's Into Thin Air or Into the Wild, you'll be engaged by this re-enactment of a true mountaineerig survival story. Makes you wonder, what song would go through your deteriorating psyche at the point of near death?<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> All the emotional and plot depth of an afterschool special, wrapped up in a tidy bow at the end. So what's up with the music video-like soundtrack throughout the film? Bright-shiny-object diversion for the lack of character development? The only redeeming aspect of the film is a funny performance by Thomas Haden Church.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> A compelling life. And I wouldn&#39;t want to shortchange the film as a simple narrative of a manic-depressive musical genius.One comment that struck me most from the film was how Townes said he knew he pretty much had to &quot;blow it all off&quot;...family, friends, even life itself to be absolutely great in music. It does seem that ultimately for Van Zandt the music really was all it was about. I&#39;m not a huge fan of the music, but his passion for it was inspiring. My only difficulty with the film was that it was hard to sync with the hero worship that seems to pervade the film, but then again, this film is for and by those who loved the man. It was especially touching to see the impact he had on his children, who despite his shortcomings seemed to want to do right by those he loved. Definitely a great film for the fans, and the narrative style kept me intrigued despite my complete ignorance of his body of work. <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> This film was like a book you just can&#39;t put down. What makes Dieter Dengler&#39;s story so intensely compelling is because it delivers a message that the human experience lived by an individual (and ultimately, those around us...including maybe people you would never suspect) can be unbelievable. Dream-like. Nightmarish. But yet unflinchingly real.And told from the voice of the person who experienced both the absolute horrors and unspeakable elation of life up until and possibly crossing into death makes it an important film to see  In a way, Herzog is like some sort of prophet of the human condition, bringing into view life seen from impossible angles -- alien territory and indescribable depths of experience -- depicting human existence in a way many of us can and may never fathom.It&#39;s a great film <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> So I decided to watch some of Kurosawa&#39;s older films, starting with Throne of Blood and this film, Ikiru (To Live).Initially, I was struck by the western feel of this film, i.e. the use of the narrarative voice at points in the film and the style of the storytelling reminded me of It&#39;s a Wonderful Life. Indeed, the film is about an old man coming to grips with a short time to live due to stomach cancer and the change that can ensue with that information. Other notable Western influences were the &quot;underground&quot; Japan after-dark scenes, some of the music choices at times are decidedly non-Japanese. The last 45 minutes or so were a bit slow for me, but the use of flashbacks to help finish the story through the eyes of men who knew the protagonist was interesting...maybe influenced by Citizen Kane? For those interested in a contrast between the No-theatre influenced samurai films of Kurosawa, this is worth a watch. <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Pan's Labyrinth is an amazing film... a fairytale definitely not for kids (it's bloody, has scenes of torture, frightening monsters, etc.) but with a strongly emotional story. Haunting is a good word for this film. Complete with a young protagonist, wicked stepfather, war-torn backdrop, freedom fighters, fauns, and fairies. I found the story effectively interweaving between a mystical Underground Realm and an unsettling real-world -- it's hard to tell which is scarier -- and intriguing to think how they co-exist so naturally in the minds of the innocent. Also, the Spanish dialogue (with English subtitles) enhanced the sense of another place and time through the film. In the end, a deeply moving experience despite it's gory character.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> After failing to see the humor in jokes about incest, anti-semitism, mental retardation, bare-assed thongs, annoying people on the street and a chicken on the subway, I thought...could the next 72 minutes be worth it? I thought  maybe because I saw this post-hype and had already seen/heard Cohen&#39;s story in the media I was jaded and couldn&#39;t enjoy the film. But I rented it anyway, in hopes that all the rave reviews would hold true despite waiting so long to see it. What a waste of time...it reminded me of silly bathroom humor for high school kids.

<strong>Body:</strong> The eccentricities of both Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski are depicted honestly in this documentary by Herzog. Kinski appears to have been truly off the scale in terms of mood swings and unusual and alarming behavior -- the evidence is here in the film. However, you can also experience the true genius of his art ... Case in point: A remarkable quote from Kinski to Herzog -- there is no worthwhile landscape on earth except the human face. Both egomaniacal but superiorly professional about the craft of acting...Kinksi&#39;s presence in film is arguably one of the most intriguing. The comparison between th bell-ringing scene in Herzog&#39;s epic Fitzcarraldo says it all. Herzog presents the same scene acted by Jason Robards/Mick Jagger against Kinski&#39;s portrayal, which reaches an entirely different level of intensity and emotion. Kinski was truly born to play Fitzcarraldo. The other interesting thing about the film is how Werner Herzog can so honestly point the camera at himself, and reveal his own idiosyncratic behavior (perhaps unintentionally). A very interesting film for those interested in these two enigmatic filmmakers.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> I&#39;ve been a long-time admirer of Andy Goldworthy&#39;s natural works art and this was a real treat to see the artisan at work. From a pragmatic standpoint, I&#39;ve always wondered about "the how" in many of his works. This film provides that plus so much more of "the why" of his artwork. It&#39;s great to hear in his own words what he is attempting to accomplish through his work.  It&#39;s also a treat to see the artist at home with his family, and someone who truly loves (or is inexplicably compelled to do) what they do. The imagery in this film is beautiful and an amazing musical score underscores as well as amplifies the beauty of  the visuals. It is an art film, and as in the Art world, many in the general public might not "get" the depth of his work. I can&#39;t say that I can even approach Andy&#39;s passion either for revealing the innate, easily overlooked character of the natural world. But a great takeaway from the film is a wonderfully tactile testament to the powerful beauty and the often unheard voices in our environment. Thanks to Mr. Goldsworthy for helping deliver this message. <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> If you haven&#39;t heard any of Ralph Covert&#39;s music for kids, you&#39;re missing out on some surprisingly good music. His highly lyrical and melodic tunes for kids appeal to my 2 yr old as well as my wife and I! You can check out some other catchy tunes at the RalphsWorld.com site.  It&#39;s hard to explain, but a lot of kids music is simply annoying to listen to, but another Chicago-native friend recommended Ralph&#39;s World music to us a few years back and our family are now all huge fans. (I think he&#39;s plugged into the Old Town School of Folk Music)   I bought this DVD because my son loves the music and now he loves the DVD. It reminds me of a low-cost budget kids video but in a good way -- like how Bozo or Captain Kangaroo seemed low-budget. My wife thought the production seemed amateurish with all the local Evanston Dance Center kids in the video doing silly dances to the music, but I found it endearing.  Bottom line, it&#39;s catchy music that won&#39;t annoy adults, but small kids 2-6 would probably really love this! I&#39;d recommend it as well as the newer DVD, which demonstrates what happens when Disney recognized Ralph&#39;s talent, produced some videos, and put him on the Disney Channel.<br/>

(I think he&amp;#39;s plugged into the Old Town School of Folk Music)   I bought this DVD because my son loves the music and now he loves the DVD. It reminds me of a low-cost budget kids video but in a good way -- like how Bozo or Captain Kangaroo seemed low-budget. My wife thought the production seemed amateurish with all the local Evanston Dance Center kids in the video doing silly dances to the music, but I found it endearing.  Bottom line, it&amp;#39;s catchy music that won&amp;#39;t annoy adults, but small kids 2-6 would probably really love this! I&amp;#39;d recommend it as well as the newer DVD, which demonstrates what happens when Disney recognized Ralph&amp;#39;s talent, produced some videos, and put him on the Disney Channel.</spout:body></item>

<strong>Body:</strong> Imagine being able to view your life from age 7, every seven years to age 49. Through the power of simple documentary filmmaking, this &quot;metaphysical&quot; look on life is what the epic series from Michael Apted allows every viewer to experience in his &quot;Up series&quot; films. Starting with 7 Up, which was filmed in 1964, the series of 7 films profiles a number of British children as they grow through adulthood.The amazing thing about this series is that one can see the seasons of life so distinctly through these diverse set of real people... the raw innocence of childhood, traumatic adolescence, the seeking of place and meaning from through to age 35 and the seasoning, wisdom and serenity that starts to settle in through one&#39;s 40&#39;s. Of course, this is my 2 minute take on this awesome series. This is &quot;reality&quot; filmmaking that is really real, and not composed.  Watching the series takes time, and can&#39;t be rushed. The first two films are shorter (about 30-45 min) but the remaining 5 are about 2 hrs each. Sometimes it&#39;s hard to understand the thick East End accents (I wish there were English subtitles on the DVDs!)  You can also tell how film technology (and quality) evolves as the series films demonstrate. I&#39;d recommend that anyone wishing to watch the series start from the beginning and view them all in series. I found that I was seeing aspects of myself in these people, and anxiously awaiting viewing the next film to see the direction people&#39;s lives would turn.The last film (49 Up) is my absolute favorite, but only because 56 up has not yet come out.For any documentary lover, this series is a must see.Cheers. <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> It's hard to summarize this film, and my title tries to get at what I took away from this film. I saw it about a week ago and I'm finally ready to write something about it. First off, it's a great, great movie. The film gets such great range of acting, environment and setting as it switches in between four stories that range from a deaf-mute teenager in Japan to a couple of North African pre-teenage boys, to a struggling American couple on a rehabilitive vacation abroad, to their children, in the care of a motherly (illegally resident) Mexican nanny.The acting is amazing and although you'd think it would be hard to follow, the movie keeps you engaged and the switches in between scenes are sometimes very impactful. It's not confusing in any way. But it is very impactful and real. It's almost as if this could have been a documentary, you feel as if these stories are or could be happening anywhere in the world today. The North African goat tending scenes, a Mexican wedding scene and the interaction of adolescent Japanese at a J-POP cafe and dancing has such authenticity  and that's a great testament to the filmmakers' ability to capture the essence of the diverse cultures and portray them on film.The movie has a great plot and stories that are more unfolded to you with a great sense of foreboding. I told my wife during the film, "I think I'm going to get an ulcer watching this" not because it was bad, but because I think I really cared for the characters. The ideas of consequence, that every act you commit to on earth has some connected effect somewhere, somehow and to someone is palpable in this film. The multicultural aspect gives the film its universality. And the superb acting and completely believable characters engaged me on a very human level. I would say that Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are good in the film, but this is not a "hollywood star" type movie...the acting of the Japanese girl (played amazingly by Rinko Kikuchi),  two north african kids and  mexican nanny amelia (played by adriana barraza really overshadow the Pitt/Blanchett roles in my mind. I can't say enough how very cool the Japan scenes are -- it totally reminded me of my own trip to Japan and has the same quality of representing modern Japan as Lost in Translation fans will love.If you like glimpses into other cultures, a storyline that keeps you totally engaged, and don't mind a thought-provoking film, you'll love Babel. But be prepared with an antacid...and if you have small kids and a nanny, make sure you have a backup sitter in case she needs to leave the country.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> This is a very well produced DVD for kids learning to use the potty. What's nice about this particular title is that the whole video is a production themed around learning how to use the bathroom--there's a theme to all the individual vignettes/features, and a story that weaves throughout with different characters like Elmo, Elmo's father, Prairie (buying her first pair of underpants), Baby and Curly bear, Grover, etc.There's actually some really well-produced and catchy original musical numbers that kind of stick with you (like it or not) as a parent! Also a quick documentary-like toilet paper factory tour set to a Fresh-Princey type rap. I actually kind of enjoy it from a filmmaking perspective.Compared to "The Best of Elmo" this is a much better Sesame Street DVD...the other seems more of a compilation of previous broadcasts with only the transitions as original.As you can see, we've enjoyed Elmo's Potty Time, again and again (sometimes three times a day). It's a common request with our little guy and highly recommended for you parent folk!Enjoy!<br/>
