The Royal Tenenbaums (The Criterion Collection) 653 reviews
Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller
Touchstone Pictures, 2002
best movie, ever
+ the royal tenenbaums
+ Delightful
With Wes Anderson movies, most people either love or hate the films. I think it's either you get it or you don't. With the Tenenbaums, I absolutely loved every second of the film from the first time I saw it in the theater in 2001. Gene Hackman is perfectly cast as Royal with his sometimes ...

Calvaire: The Ordeal21 reviews
Laurent Lucas, Jackie Berroyer
Palm Pictures / Umvd, 2006
The Ordeal indeed
+ it was different....
The twisted, bizarre story of Calvaire where madness and perversion are the themes, rocked me to the core. Throughout, my eyes were glued to the screen and my jaw on the ground; however, nothing in the film was done for shock value and every line and action had meaning. At the end, the viewer is ...

+ Mario Bava's lost masterpiece
I'll admit that I've never seen films by Mario Bava. I've only recently gotten into Italian Cinema with the films of Dario Argento and other Giallo taken up my interest. Until now I had never tried any Bava. So hearing of this film and being intrigued with the premise I picked up the DVD.

+ Good morning, Mr. M. Looks like you could use a CUPCAKE!
+ An Enjoyable Flick with Flick!
You've probably seen the snippet on YouTube that proclaims "Hillary Clinton IS Tracy Flick!" Well, my friends, it's true. If you enjoyed that little scene, you must revisit Alexander Payne's darkly comic 1999 gem and see for yourself how oddly prescient it was in depicting the precise dynamic ...

+ Forgotten wasteland gem
+ Heros the way it use to be
I picked this up on whim, basically on a "buy two, get one free" kind of deal, where I grabbed "The Blood of Heroes" as the freebie. I figured it couldn't be too bad, and hey, Joan Chen in a post-apocalypse flick, along with Rutger Hauer...
I was quite surprised at what a good movie it was. ...

+ At the Forefront of New American Cinema
I don't know how Laura Lindley does it but I can always count on her being in a great independent film. This one is wonderful though I still can't make sense of the ending. A couple divorce and the poor relationship between the couple and the boys disintegrate even further. This family wasn't ...

Hypnotic Korean Psychological Thriller
+ Cruelly killing for the sake of life's nobility
+ What's not to like.
I have never been one of those viewers who are into serial killer films. I find most of them sickening and quite a few have a bit more gore than I like in my films--and not enough suspense. There are the few exceptions: And one of these is the South Korean thriller "H". However, this film does have ...

I love being scared. I started watching horror movies as far back as 4 years old. I even made it a point to rent every horror movie at both of my local video stores. And if a movie gave me nightmares for 2 days, I wanted to find one that would make it 3. It could've been anything. Later on I'd ...
