"This blog entry is part of my "movie year countdown round #2". Read more about that here. Kiss Me Deadly The Mike Hammer of this film is one of the most selfish, sleaziest protagonists I've seen, even for film noir. I was kind of surprised and amused at the excessive use of violence. Not that things don't usually end up violent in film noir of this type, but Hammer fairly quickly in his series of investigations, progresses to the point where if someone doesn't give him the info he wants right away, he jumps almost straight to bribes. And if they don't accept the first offer he jumps straight into violence. There is little time wasted in escalating from verbal threats to violence if he doesn't get what he wants immediately. It makes him look a lot more

"David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a remarkable film and the best of 2008. It's been nominated for 13 Academy Awards, more than any other film this year, and deserves at least one more for Cate Blanchett. Yet despite being the 6th most positively reviewed film of the year, there has been an inordinate amount of critical backlash toward it.< "

"Lists of movies within movies are fairly common on the internet, enough that I now realize I need to finally see Bowfinger simply because I’ve counted about a million list makers in love with something titled “Chubby Rain.” And the lists are likely to keep on coming thanks to this week’s hot release, Tropic Thunder, which actually features two movies within (the Vietnam War film “Tropic Thunder” and the festival-winning making-of documentary “Rain of Madness”), as well as the upcoming How to Lose Friends and Alienate People, which has spawned a popular fake movie trailer for an NC-17 film titled “Mother Theresa: The Making of a Saint” (previewed above). Yet until someone makes "

"The idea for this analysis came to mind when I recently saw Bergman's The Seventh Seal. While I was not quite as blown away by the film as most accolades of the film would suggest, I still found it to be an excellent movie, and could see very clearly the influence it has had on so many films that have come after it. The one scene that I especially noticed a direct legacy in later films was a short, almost gimmicky little snippet during the medieval religious cult scene in the town--where the drums are beating loudly, people are screaming in agony as whips crack, and monks and other repenters are carrying enormous crosses on their backs. There is a short string of profile shots: Antonius, Jons, and "The Girl" (the only specific name I could find for her anywhere on the internet). The cuts between the faces are done with the beats of the drums; they are perfectly centered, with mist or smoke rising in the backgrounds, adding to each image's raw, black-and-white imagery; and each f ...

"This week Filmspotting set the challenge of recasting Reservoir Dogs. Now, I've seen this movie before but it's been a while. I've kept meaning to pick it up on DVD but have never quite got around to it. What I love about Reservoir Dogs is its simplicity. Pulp Fiction is certainly a great movie but Dogs wins out for me simply because it tells a simple story well and is packed with excellent moments. With almost all of the movie shot around one location, an empty warehouse, it really is up to the actors to dictate the pace and style of the film. Tarantino's story flicks between the present, the set up before leading to the pay off - a great standoff. I love the casting too. From Keitel to Madsen to Buscemi - they really stand out and quickly inhabit the characters. Give good actors material that they believe in and you'll get good performances - that certainly happens here. This is what's making the recasting game so frustratingly difficult. In fact, I'm at the stage now where I sus ... "

"Why don’t I give a shit about Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards? Is it because I sat through (and even partially live-blogged) his masturbatory “lecture on cinema” in Cannes––is it just too soon? Is it because I’ve seen Pulp Fiction so many times that I can no longer actually see anything in it at all? Is it because I walked out of Grindhouse saying. “Well, THAT joke isn’t funny anymore…”? I don’t know what it is! But I know that some of you probably care, so if you haven’t already, check out Vulture’s preview/review of the script. Having read the whole thing, Vulture says it’s “definitely the ur-text of Quentin Tarantino’s career up to now,” and maybe THAT’s my problem with it––I don’t think I’d be able to get into one more parade of Stuff Quentin Likes, especially if its greatest virtue is that it’s like what he always do "

"Jackie Brown is really an overall strange movie, not in subject matter but in style and content. It's an obvious Tarantino movie, with the ghetto conversations about seemingly superfluous topics and the long, meandering narrative with plenty of plot-twists and episodes, some labeled on-screen as such. It's really enjoyable despite its 2 1/2 hour run time, which actually seems to fly by without so much as a stutter in plotting. This movie really made me realize just how great Tarantino is with story structure. Even his critics can't say that the man has such a distinctive and confident poise behind the camera, and such a grasp on the intricacies of typical story structure. He seems to be having so much fun with this movie, and effortlessly makes the story glide from plot-twist to plot-twist. It would be so funny to see what a convoluted mess this movie may have been in the hands of most other directors--but Tarantino doesn't even let you think about how extensive the plot is, h ... "

"My list, in continuation… 6. Fargo See my blog entry on it…it’s a while back, but I feel it’s pretty comprehensive as to how fricken incredible this movie is. 7. Chinatown An absolute classic. Jack Nicholson’s greatest role, and an amazing turn by Faye Dunaway. See my review of it…it’s a little while back as well. 8. Mulholland Drive This David Lynch masterpiece of the absurd is just plain awesome. Everything in his power is brought full-on into creating one of the most hypnotizingly gorgeous films ever put onto the screen. T "

"In late 2005, my friend Tony and I had finished post-production on an extremely low budget movie and Tony set about figuring if there was any market for it. This brought the world of film festivals to our attention.I had previously had a bit of experience with a festival, working one year with the Florida Film Festival, hosted at the beautiful Enzian Theater in the Orlando area. That, plus a return for several screenings in the following years, formed a lot of my ideas about what a film festival should be.The year I worked, I got to meet John Pierson, noted producer's rep and author of the indie film chronicle, 'Spike, Mike, Slackers & Dykes.' At the time, I was just impressed he helped sell 'Clerks' to Miramax. Interestingly enough, one of the judges that year was Robert Hawk, who was the original champion of 'Clerks,' even before Pierson came aboard, but I was unaware of his role in the legend. I had a lot to learn.The Florida Film Festival had a l ... "
