"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry. Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam (The Golem) The Golem series is one of the original horror series, setting up many horror film clichés that are still being used today. It's hard to look at this final and most famous of the three films and not think of (the much more enjoyable) Frankenstein in many thematic ways and in many specific scenes such as when the Golem encounters the young girl. It wasn't too long ago that I saw this movie and I can hardly remember any images from most of it. I guess that's a sign that I found most of it rather boring. The scene where the golem comes to life is one of the most fascinating in the film, but the DVD special features reveal a scene similar to this was

"I'm a fan of Svankmajer, although he can be pretty freaky. What I love about this film in particular is how deeply the metaphor of the stage is exploited. Puppets, people, the city, the set. A man is handing out flyers to the people coming out of the subway. The flyer is a map to a particular address. There is nothing more on it. One hapless character goes there and discovers the accouterment of an alchemist. He puts this on, as well as a fake beard and stage makeup. Tada, Faust. He is on the puppet stage. He takes of the clothing and cuts through the scenery and walks out through the back door out to the city. Yet he is still on the stage. In fact the story has become the inescapable element. The character can not free himself from the character. This is quite fascinating especially given the pervasiveness of the story of Faust, the classic "Be careful what you wish for" scenario. The Faust story belongs to no one author and Svankmajer draws freely from Goethe, Marlowe and some o ... "

"Though I first buzzed about an Academy Award nomination for Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight more than a month before his death, I now want to take it all back. I feel all the talk of Ledger’s posthumous Oscar chances will cloud my mind when I finally do see it, and it will probably also cloud the Academy’s judgment, too. Six months from now, when the nominations are announced on January 22 (coincidentally the one-year anniversary of Ledger’s death), if Ledger is not recognized for his role as The Joker, there will surely be an uproar — actually, Hollywood might just up and self-implode. I’m not the only one annoyed by all the Oscar buzz. Terry Gilliam, who directed Ledger in The Brothers Grimm and the upcoming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, is ca "

"Faust is a masterpiece. It has anything anyone could possibly want from a film, unless that person is a moron. I was suspicous of this film, as I had not been a fan Murneau's Nosferatu and The Last Laugh. I changed my mind on Nosferatu after I saw it the way Murnea intended- it was one of the greatest of all horror movies. Even that movie is not as good as Faust. The story is familer even if you've never read the plays by Goethe and Marlow, as I havn't. A man makes a pact with the Devil in exchange for anything that he wants- or so he thinks. What seems like a predicatble fable takes on such weight in this film. Unlike so many stories of this type- we actully see why the pact is so tempting- why won't God give you what you want, when all you want is to help others? What's wrong with wanting to love someone? Because we invest so much in the characters, we care about what happens to them. The last act of the film is spellbinding. Very few directors can show the depths of t ... "

"I'm calling this one my Annie Hall/Barry Lyndon Memorial list (just to keep it interesting). 1. Fitzcarraldo (1982) - It's the story of a man who will stop at nothing to pull a ship over a mountain, made by a a man who will stop at nothing to make a film about a man who pulls a ship over a mountain. 2. Faust (1926) - Have you seen this film? Seriously, how the heck did they make this thing back then. Very scary. 3. Alexander Nevsky (1938) - So unbelievably epic. You can still see it's influence on films Action/Epic films to this day. 4. Ed Wood (1994) - Burton's best film ever. The best biopic film ever. Best film of 1994. One of my favorite films of all time. 5. Mary Poppins (1964) - Loved it as a kid. Love it as an adult. It's a classic that never grows old or dated, so shut up!!Here are some of my runners up:Princess Mononoke (1997) Ivan The Terrible Part:I (1944) Barton Fink (1991) "
