Now For Something Completely Different . . . .

I haven't posted in a while but I have been watching movies.

Here is a list of what I have been watching on DVD: Life of Pi; Idiocracy; Silver Linings Playbook; Les Miserables; Ong Bak 3; The Spiderwick Chronicles; Stripes; Silverado; Last Life in the Universe;  Zeitgeist; Cave of Forgotten Dreams; Tokyo-ga; Bones Brigade: An Autobiography; The Tempest; The Pirates of Penzance; Max Headroom; Titan A.E.; McCabe and Mrs. Miller; Meek's Cutoff; The Assassination of Jesse James; Constantine; Eastern Promises; and Waterworld!

Some good stuff. Some less good stuff. I have been on a Western kick lately. I recommend Silverado and McCabe and Mrs. Miller as the classic "New" westerns they are. Last Life in the Universe is a great Thai movie from 2003 (directed by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang) starring Tadanobu Asano and Sinitta Boonyasak. I highly recommend it.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams is a documentary on Chauvet Cave's amazing prehistoric art by Werner Herzog. It is really cool to see the amazing artwork.

The Assassination of Jesse James has nice elements but Brad Pitt is only fair and the movie suffers from bloat in my view.

Tokyo-ga is worth watching as is the Bones Brigade doc.

I'll get back to actual reviews soon. . . .
