"It seems like a lot of these movies some of you just don't want to see due to violence or other dark or deprived behavior. If that is the case, I won't argue. But if you think that it's possible for depravity in a movie to lead to transcendence, there is some great stuff here. Twelve Monkeys is just amazing. I really don't remember that much violence in it. Maybe in the WWII scene?? But the MPAA rated it R for violence and laguage, so I guess there's something there. I don't think it would turn you off though. If you are interested at all in time travel movies, this is one of the best!!! A Clockwork Orange is also amazing!! But if you are that worried about disturbing or violent imagery, then I can't really recommend this. The film was originally rated X when it first came out and that rating existed. The whole premise of the film is about trying to reform a man who is obsessed with commiting what he calls "ultraviolence". That includes all kinds of violence, murder, rap ... "

"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx A Clockwork Orange is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#46)100 Most Heart-Pounding Movies (#21)100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains (Alex De Large is the #12 villain)The Revised Top 100 (#70)10 Top 10's (#4 Science Fiction) I watched A Clockwork Orange instantly on Netflix using the little TV streaming device offered by that service, which I bought to accompany my new large-screen TV. The whole experience was thrilling - watching a crazy, eye-poppingly colored film in high definition for the first time! Of course, I digress. I had intended to read the novel on which the film is based, written by Anthony Burgess, first, but, sadly, reading books nowadays for me has taken a back seat to other free-time activities, such as consuming films. As such, I had no idea what to expect again, though I ... "

"Today’s clip isn’t exactly film-related, but it does tie into Kevin’s list from earlier about unsuccessful movie prophecies. Plus, its title somewhat references Back to the Future, and anything paying tribute to BTTF immediately sparks my interest (this tie-in may have even influenced my vote for president). The comedy short comes from FunnyorDie.com and stars Paul Scheer of Human Giant (and Bride Wars, just to make this more movie-related) in two roles. One role, really, but its divided into two parts, “Alex” and “Future Alex.” And the whole thing is a play on the idea of fashions of the future. Anyway, the video made me think of the Oscars’ usual ignorance of science-fiction costumes, particularly of designs for films set in the future (meaning < "

"Last week, I told you about the best film of 2008. Today, I'll tell you about the worst.This particular stinker has the distiction of being on several critics' year-end Best Of lists (including both Adam and Matty from my beloved Filmspotting) and of earning a score of zero on the Metacritic score from the honorable A.O. Scott of the New York Times, thereby placing it in the ranks of the worst of all time. The film is cloaked as a high-brow commentary, meant to inspire dialogue strumming up the brilliance of its writer/director. It is also a shot-by-shot remake of the German original from 10 years ago, translated to English so that the original target audience can experience the message without subtitles. And it is a huge failure. The film is Funny Games.A film isn’t brilliant because it tells viewers that it’s brilliant. Audiences should not allow a filmmaker to convince them that a film is masterful, that it’s meant to challenge them and the conventions of Holl ... "

"It’s only a couple of short weeks before the 2008 Oscar nominees are announced, and the internet is abuzz with prognostications. One hotly debated topic is whether or not Wall-E can pull off a Best Picture nomination, or even a win. It would be the second animated film to be nominated in the category, after Beauty and the Beast, which got the honor before the Animated Feature prize existed. Will the stodgy old Academy seat Wall-E at the kid’s table, giving it an easy win in the animation category, or will it be allowed to play with the big boys? A best pic nomination for Wall-E would be a rare honor for animation in general, but it would also be a long over due rarity for another reason: Wall-E would only be the second best pic nominated film in the history of the Oscars to be set in the future. The only one to date is A Clockwork Orange. When you consider how many nominees are period pieces "

"When I received the press release announcing The Film Society of Lincoln Center’s series “Lindsay Anderson: Revolutionary Romantic” (running from 8/15-8/21) I thought, well, that should be a fascinating retro. But then I noticed that Anderson’s quintessential discovery Malcolm McDowell would also be on hand to premiere his and Mike Kaplan’s Never Apologize: A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson and I thought, well, that should be…hot! For over 20 years I’ve had a thing for McDowell – or, more precisely, the proudly nihilistic Alex he brought to life from the notorious Burgess book, if not as much so for Mick Travis, the embryonic Alex he created in Anderson’s classic trilogy. I first saw A Clockwork Orange around the age of ten (note to liberal academics attempting to enlighten their young offspring through art films – Kubrick? Not a good idea) and again later in high school. It was this teenage viewing of McDowell as the violent anarchist leader of a group of hoods, who is ult ... "

"The Dark Knight, the most anticipated picture of the year for myself and innumerable others, has finally arrived following a trail of hype that would crush almost any film. But miraculously, just as Moses wielded his stone tablets, Christopher Nolan has handed us a true gift from the cinematic gods. His second Batman is so visceral, so propulsive, so maddeningly perfect in its execution that it should come with a warning; you do not simply watch The Dark Knight, you surrender your pulse to Christopher Nolan. And even if an intended triptych has been tragically cut short (as Mel Brooks might contend those aforementioned commandments were) what remains is wholly qualified to stand on its own not as a great Batman film, not as a great superhero film, and not as a great action film, but as one of the most distiguished pieces of filmmaking of its generation. This decade, more so than any other, has seen comic-to-film adaptations mature from vacuous thrills to serious art. Sam Raimi ... "

AFI's 10 Top 10: Science Fiction

"The Science Fiction Top 10 is notable for having what is arguably the least disputable number one on all of these lists in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Even after two decades, the film remains gorgeous and convincing-looking, and still capable of provoking debate about technology, the nature of intelligence, and humanity's identity and place in the universe. It has left an indelible mark on how the future, and how space and space travel, is visualized and imagined, especially, but not exclusively, on film. It's a masterful work, and it's difficult for me to think of a more deserving selection for the top of this list. At the same time, this Top 10 has its share of both puzzling selections and curious absences.E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) at number three leaves much to be desired. Not only does the movie not hold up to repeated viewing, but it also barely qualifies as science fiction. True, the AFI's definition of this genre calls for “imaginative speculation”, but it also sta ... "

"What Hillary might, can, and/or should say, courtesy of the cinema.If she decides the nomination is still worth pursuing, she would do well to rewatch Street Fighter (1994) and take her cue from Jean-Claude Van Damme.Street Fighter re-write:The pundits and party elders say this fight is over, we can all go home... But, we can all go home, meanwhile, ideals like truly universal health care, counting every vote and making history, they get packed up, and we can all go home. Well, I'm not going home. I'm going to get on a plane and I'm going to Denver and I'm going to kick that son-of-a-bitch Barack's ass so hard that the next inexperienced wannabe's gonna feel it. Now who wants to go home and who wants to go with me?Well, maybe not that last part. But you get the point.Original clip:President Clinton is already taking a beating from the pundits who ask "Did Bill kill Hillary's campaign?" The coverage of this campaign has been sensationalized and hyper-scrutinized, and blatantly ... "

"This was one of my most difficult decisions…there is an undisputed number 1 spot, which will be revealed when I get to writing something that will successfully pay homage to the film itself, but this spot was tough. I thought it was clear-cut for a while, but then I recently saw a film that I really wanted to add. Both films are pretty bleak, pretty disturbing, and pretty strange; and both are definite classics, outstanding films from legendary directors. So, after much deliberation, here is number 2 and number 2½. 2. Apocalypse Now I have always been intrigued by this movie. I saw a good deal of it on AMC when I was about 12 years old, and promptly set to begging my parents to let me go out and buy/rent it. Finally, after ragging them for the "
