I don’t read the script. The script reads me.

Kimya Dawson, The Moldy Peaches and Antsy Pants also make for a stellar soundtrack. A must see.

A far superior film to the abhorrent Ocean’s twelve, far far better, and actually enjoyable. By no means perfect, but enjoyable, which is more than I can say for that torrid affair in Europe. The average scene length is longer than 30 seconds, there is a storyline, each person actually has a role in the team, there’s no Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones, there’s much less impossible technology and as an added bonus, we get Al Pacino and a big-nosed Matt Damon.

Incredible, incredible film with a stunning score by the ever-great Einaudi. I highly recommend this.

Aronofsky has done it again, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz; this time pulling off a magnanimous beauty — a love story spanning a thousand years with a quivering of death’s meaning. Clint Mansell with the Kronos Quartet once again provides another epic soundtrack to match their previous work made for Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream. Fountain is magnificent to watch and feel, a marvel. Just look.

A pretty strange and messed up Chinese film about keeping your youth at all costs. Don’t make the same mistake I did and try and eat food during this movie.

300. No more, no less. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s a feature length trailer of epic proportions by a director “with a machine gun for a dick”.

Saw this a couple of nights ago. Pretty hard to watch if you are a guy. I’ve heard people state that this stimulates all sorts of debates about paedophilia and vigilantism; personally it seems like this extreme setting is merely justification for a graphic torture film (so is the Lion’s gate way) involving some crazy bitch attacking some proposed kiddie-lover. The true menace to society would be illustrated in a sickening role reversal, honestly I believe this film achieves little more than some light (albeit gritty) entertainment. Plus I prefer soft gums.

Terry Gilliam back on form with a stunning performance by Jodelle Ferland. I feel like a person of few words today so I shall just say that I really loved this film and then show you some beautiful pictures:
