The Fly
October 31st, 2008 No Comments
David Cronenberg’s most recent forays into mainstream cinema have produced tremendous results. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who can argue thatEastern Promises and A History of Violence are bad films. It’s when you go back to the nineties and eighties, Cronenberg’s stuff becomes a little more inaccessible, but it’s still just as [...]

Heaven
October 30th, 2008 No Comments
Heaven is the first installment of a heaven/hell/purgatory trilogy (co-written by Krzysztof Piesiewicz) planned by the late, Oscar-nominated Krzysztof Kieslowski. Unfortunately, Kieslowsky died before the last two scripts were finished. It’s a damn shame too, Heaven is a spellbinding and powerful piece that will enchant you.
The film is directed by Tom Tykwer, the wicked talented [...]

Mulholland Dr.
October 29th, 2008 1 Comment
From the second Mulholland Dr. starts, you’ll be enraptured with it. It’s clearly a masterpiece from the beginning, and forces you to explore yourself in order to find it’s meaning. Despite some people calling Eraserhead David Lynch’s masterpiece, this is it.
After a brutal car accident in Los Angeles, California, Rita (Laura Harring) is the sole [...]

Notes from Underground
October 28th, 2008 1 Comment
Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novella Notes from the Underground starts: ‘I am sick man… I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased.’ It’s with these words that Gary Walkow stars his film adaptation of this book. With such disturbing words, you’d think the film would [...]

Inland Empire
October 27th, 2008 2 Comments
Like all of David Lynch’s movies, Inland Empire boasts that patented nightmarish/dreamlike quality that we’ve come to expect from him. This is Lynch’s last feature film to date, and currently has nothing in production.
When Lynch announced that he was making a new film, starring Laura Dern, shot only on a digital camera, all he said [...]

Pride and Glory
October 25th, 2008 3 Comments
The buzz around Pride and Glory was pretty bad after New Line decided to push the film’s release date back from March 14th this year. People assumed the movie was crap, that the studio was embarrassed of it. I believed these rumors. I did. Even after I read Colin Farrell’s attempt to shed more [...]
