"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 ... "

"Christmas is a time of peace and harmony, where we remember baby Jesus, born into a manger. There were shepherds, wise men, sweet hay and swaddling clothes. But we often forget how dark the Christmas story actually is. First of all you’ve got poor Joseph, convinced that his fiance has been knocked up by another man. Then she gives birth in a barn, which would not be sweet or pleasant in any way. If that weren’t bad enough, the wise men tip Herod off to the fact that a new king has been born, and he goes and kills all the first born sons in Judea, forcing the Holy Family into exile. Real smooth, wise men, did you miss the star that told you to keep your mouths shut? There are plenty of movies about Christmas, a few about the nativity and plenty more about Santa. But there aren’t any that capture the despair and desperation of the original tale. Placed within the larger narrative of the Christian gospel, the nativity is about a god being subjected to the vulnerability of an infancy, ... "

"I am feeling a bit grumpy at the moment so I am going to revisit the subject of my first post -- that of a director pilfering through their own material. There are a number of excellent examples of this but I am going to limit myself to two directors. The reason for this is that both of these men, Robert Rodriguez and Kevin Smith have had a very large impact on me. My current career path has been shaped largely by these directors which is why their transgressions pain me so. First, Mr. Smith. Once upon a time there was a directory who made a crappy (production-wise) little movie called Clerks. It is not a pretty movie nor is it an interesting-looking film. Clerks has very few merits except the fact that it is quite funny and original and it somehow manages to convey the joy and exuberence of it's creator. There is a quality to Clerks, a "I just wanted to make a movie" attitude that is infectious. This film feels to me to emboy the very spirit of Charles Foster Kane in Citizen Kane ... "

"Discussion of this summer’s heroine lack is in full throttle. Last friday, New York’s Vulture blog asked, “Where are the Roles for Superwomen?; Stu at Defamer jumped off from there, ultimately suggesting an X-Men spin-off for Ellen Page; John at The Movie Blog listed reasons “Why Most Female Lead Action Films Don’t Succeed” (shocker: men can’t identify with or believe in strong — and strong — female characters). Now, adding to the conversation in the least noble way possible, USA Weekend presents the appropriately titled “Girls Want to Have Fun, Too”, a cover story (with the least flattering photos I’ve ever seen) from its summer movie preview th "

"After much deliberation, I have created a comprehensive list of my current 30 favorite movies ever made. I am still debating about it in my head, considering there are still so many more movies that I want to include on it. However, I widdled it down to 30. I'll reveal them periodically over the next few days, with my absolute favorites (1-10) having long explanations, and then after that getting shorter and shorter. Here's numbers 21-30 with brief explanations.21. The Shining Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece of horror is in my humble opinion the scariest film ever made. I have never seen anything that has contained as much suspense and as much sheer terror as this movie. And while I usually don't like the genre a whole lot, I love this movie.22. The 40 Year Old Virgin/Knocked Up There was a tie here, and I figured I could group them together since it's the same crew. Apatow's movies have changed comedy, and both of these films are almost beyond hila ... "

"Unless you’re a fan of cult Japanese film, chances are you don’t know who Seijun Suzuki is. One way to describe him would be a studio hack director for Nikkatsu who primarily worked in the 60’s. You’d be just as justified in describing his as an auteur working within a genre to find his niche. Or even as a visual maverick whose flare for the garish has left an indelible mark on cinema. Yes you could refer to him as all those things and more, but you’d be pompous. What’s worse is that you’d be doing a disservice to the man and his films. So we’re going to take a more humanist look at one of the best directors Japan has ever produced. To understand Seijun Suzuki’s place in film you have to understand how the Japanese film industry operated for the better part of the last century. The studios in Japan signed directors, actors, lighting technicians, and everybody else who worked in movies, to contracts obligating them to ... "

"YES! I was so tired of getting into arguments with people as to why I thought Tarintino was overrated. I don't have to worry about that any more as Kill Bill is a masterpiece. Before we go any futher, let's make it clear that this is one movie in two parts. Volume 2 is not a sequel, it's the second half. It's an epic, brillantly directed and written, featuring amazing performances from Uma Thurman and David Carridine, great photography and editing-in fact, aside from an unessary couple of scenes near the end, it's just about perfect. My problem with Tarintino's previous work was that it seemed like exceptionally well written but lackluster retreads of the trash movies the director loved. Although I, live everyone else admired the non-linear structure and dialouge, I thought that Reservior Dogs, Pulp Fiction, "The Man From the South" from Four Rooms and Jackie Brown did not have much to say. To me, recycled trash is still trash. They were made worse by somevery ugly, overexpos ... "

"Emilio Maille's Rosario Tijeras is a surprsing period piece and drama. When I first read about it I expected it to be more like a Kill Bill. It isn't. The film is filled with wondrous scenary, and a very human drama. It forsakes flashy killing and comic book blood for a strong story and amazing acting by Flora Martinez. The story revolves around two friends who meet Rosario at a club. The swinger becomes enraptured by her. It is his friend who becomes the keeper of Rosario's secrets. For a film about a killer there are very few murders in it. Flora Martinez is a star who should be seen a lot more. In this part she is sensual, dark, vunerable, and fearful. She gives Rosario a strong mask hiding her pain behind a party woman lifestyle. Her best work comes at the end of the film when she says more in her eyes than the part could ever transmit. My one complaint with the film is the extras were not subtitled. The extras include a making of, and the casting tapes of Martinez. "

"Tarantino's fourth (and fifth) film as director see's him blatantly working through his cinematic obsessions in a whirlwind of bloodletting and wire-fu. Tarantino's movie mixes Japanese Yakuza, Samurai and Hong Kong martial arts genres together and even throws in a little Anime segment (By Tokyo's 'Production I.G.' studio) and somehow it just about holds together. There are some nice cameo's too, from Tarantino hero Sonny Chiba and Battle Royale minx Kuriyama Chiaki. Miike Takeshi favourite Kunimura Jun also has a small role too, winding up on the wrong end of Uma Thurman's 'Japanese Steel'. The film is full of cool, nerdy injokes for fans of this kind of stuff. It even opens with the old 'Made in Shawscope' logo that adorned Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers productions in the 70's. Somehow though, despite the fact the movie is terrific fun for fans of Eastern exploitation cinema and newbies alike, it leaves you feeling slightly unsa ... "
