Hot damn, I guess it's a good thing you don't debate.

Films Peeps like that I Hate

"I hate Secular Rap, and they should keep thier stories in da Hood."

You are, of course, welcome to you own musical opinions, but this is one of the most backwards, racist statments I've seen on this site so far. If you're so anxious to spread your "stories" of Jesus, then maybe others should be allowed to spread their "stories." Prat.

Copies of Ong Bak have also been floating around the file sharing sites, especially those using BitTorrent. That's how I got mine.

I'd say you know Jesus about as well as you know rap music.

Dear Coach Z, I think it's spelled "Jeorb!"

Hate(Matthieu Kossovitz)

What is this movie? IMDb searches turn up a couple of silents titled Hate and turns up nothing under the name "Matthieu Kossovitz."

I'm flummoxed.

Oh, 28) The Crow was Alex Proyas. Sadly, I couldn't guess the last remaining 3 without turning to the IMDb.

Rating the Films: Takeshi Kitano

You may be being generous to Boiling Point, which I think is his worst film to date. I've been reviewing all of Kitano's movies for my site & am waiting for my copy of his film Dolls to arrive so I can finish up the series.

I'd suggest trying some of his quieter movies. He's mostly known in the US for his gangster/cop films, which is unfortunate. Scene At The Sea and Kids Return are both fantastic and feature no gunplay.

22) Peter Jackson. I'm stunned that I'm the first to guess that.

12) E. Elias Meringe, who also directed Shadow of the Vampire

Begotten, which I just saw for the first time last week, has to be one of the most exciting films I've seen in ages. What a mind blower.

Rating the Films: Peter Weir

Picnic is great, even more mysterious than Weir's other films. And, of course, the DVD is on Criterion which means you'll get a great presentation. I've seen the print they used for the DVD and it's quite nice.

A M & C review that I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I ended up seeing the movie right after watching Gallipoli, which was a fun double feature.

Rating the Films: Martin Scorsese

While it's been years since I've seen it, I would say the general wearniess of the film is part of the point. I find the tired, empty look of DeNiro's eyes to be more of a emotional kicker than the scene you mentioned.

All this talk just makes me want to see it again.

Top 007 Bond movies

That might be the first 007 favorites list I've seen with Octopussy and Moonraker. Still, you get respect for recognizing the brillance of Goldeneye.

Now, what about favorite 007 songs?

  1. The Spy Who Loved Me
  2. Goldeneye
  3. Goldfinger
  4. For Your Eyes Only
  5. View To A Kill

Rating the Films: Martin Scorsese

A bit rough on the Casino. Why? It's the only S movie I've watched twice in a row, and I find it's a fantasicly depressing, lonely film about high-level crime (as compared to the low-level gangsters that usually populate his films). The final shot of DeNiro is one of S's finest, I think.

Kill Bill Review

I don't like static systems like MT. Most of my work has been with database driven sites, and that's what I prefer. Dual Lens is currently using a very shoddy database, which works but isn't very flexible.

The tool I'm working on will allow me much more flexibility. Reviews can be written for multiple movies or for no movies at all (currently it's a one-to-one). Content will use parent-child relationships. I'll have much greater control over presentation; using templates stored in a database I'll be able to format the information based upon context and user preferences. There are a bunch of other features in there too, I just have to finish figuring out what they are.
