  • I was away for awhile

    Sunday, Aug 17, 2008 4:55AM / Members only

    but now I'm back in full effect. My grandfather was dying(Alzheimers) and there was family stuff to deal with. He died last week. He was 85 years old though so he lived a full life. Fought in wars, married to my grandmother for 2000 years, 9 children, etc. I didn't go to the funeral, and I feel bad about it, but that involves drama of another sort that I'd rather not go into. I'll just say that I firmly believe that some battles are best left alone.

    *Redirection!*


    I watched a Chang Cheh movie this morning called The Magnificent Wanderers. It featured Alexander Fu Sheng, Chi Kuan Chun, David Chiang, and Li Yi Min.  Some of the best names in the history of the genre, and I can't believe what a turd this picture turned out to be. It  was just completely without direction. It got so bad that I just started fast forwarding after about an hour and ten minutes into it. There wasn't one redeemable feature of the thing. Thankfully, I also had Chor Yuens Death Duel to sit through, and that exceeded my expectations  in every day. You can't go wrong with Derek Yee.

    Anyway, that's enough.

    It was really bizarre so I don't truly know if I like it or dislike it yet. But honestly, I'd pay to watch Monica Bellucci fold paper.

    I never thought I would say this, but Colin Farrel was absolutely awesome! He held his own acting alongside people like Ralph Fiennes and Brendan Gleesen. That's no small feat. I read a review by a user on Amazon and he referred to Farrel as 'emotionally open'. I think he's absolutely right. That's exactly what Farrel has going for him. It's probably why I thought he was so likable back in stuff like Phone Booth and  Tigerland. This is, without question, the best thing that I've watched this year (that was released this year).  An intelligent scrīpt, charming characters, awesome locales- It goes wrong nowhere. Watch it!

    What a piece of crap. It was worse than Elektra. The plot/800000000 subplots were dull, the characters were murdered, and never have there been more extreme close ups of such unattractive leads. I have no idea how you go from Spiderman 2 to this. Unless it was intentional.

    I give up on the forum!


    Wow, so that's how you fix a passionless marriage. I really loved everything about this, from the voyeuristic quality of the cinematography to the strangely dissonant music that seems to represent bizarre workings of the husband's mind. He was really strange to me. She lies next to him in bed after moisturizing her legs and such(yowza), and he just rolls over; They're at a nightclub and she asks him to dance, he says: Pas maintenant; Furthermore, he chooses to watch a 10 inch television set instead of doing anything with his beautiful wife. Bizarre!  What choice did she have but to become unfaithful?

    But for some reason, I really like these characters who live in a world of repressed feeling and shopworn social graces. Especially when one of them is played by Stéphane Audran. I could barely get through a scene without taking  pause to appreciate the raw power of her sensuality. Though really, all of that is very subtle. There's just something vaguely cold and unaffected about the way she carries herself that moves me. But I'm actually disgusted by the quality of this DVD. The image is blurry, full of noise, and the sound is atrocious. For shame, World. For shame!



    Another Winner! It's every bit a psychologically engaging as I've come to expect. The acting was amazing.




     Claude Chabrol hasn't let me down yet!  However, Suzanne Flon steals the show here. It's hard to imagine a more endearing perfomance.
