Believe it or not, they were actually very tentative to give her the role because she had previously done modeling and if you see regular pictures of her, she's actually quite attractive. They thought she was too attractive for the role. As you know, I'm an avid fan of the books and I read all three before seeing the film. She is the spitting image of what I imagined the character should look like. Glad to see her getting the recognition she deserves.

Love Road to Perdition--never understood why it didn't get more awards recognition. I'm a big fan of the scene on the beach, which
[Show spoiler]opens the film and then is seen again at the end. It's a Scorsese-type move, in that he loves to show a scene near the end, the cut to the beginning and go up to and past that opening scene.



I firmly believe Sam Mendes is one of the better directors out there in terms of pure directing, despite his limited output. I think he knows how to get great performances out of his actors and I think he frames his shots very well. Jarhead was a dud though imo.

i'm going to hopefully keep this short because i am in no mood to think back on this film. this is certainly one i will never revisit, and have absolutely no need or urge to. safe to say, i found this film incredibly boring.

at 90 minutes you think scenes wouldn't drag and you wouldn't think the movie gives you one of those "is it ever going to end?!" feelings, but Breathless does. because it doesn't even get remotely interesting until 60 minutes in. and even then, it doesn't get much better.

there's so much talking. so much dialogue. so much... useless, annoying dialogue. there are a few bright spots where there is a smart, intelligent line of dialogue, but for the most part i was completely bored and had a hard time watching such a drawn out, realistic yes, but drawn out and exhausting scene.

and as much as i hated Michel, i started to hate Patricia even more! so then i just hated both of them. Patricia's character is genuine and realistic, i know a lot of girls who act the same way she does, so i'll give the film that as a plus, but it still doesn't make me enjoy the characters. at all.

and because the film is from the 60's (1960 i believe?) some scenes are laughably bad. especially ones that contain guns. i understand back then they didn't have much to work with, but come on. this was all "use your imagination" but the absolutely terrible acting by the guy who played Michel made this more difficult than it should have been.

very limited bright spots in a very "bleh" film for me. i was really tempted to stop watching at the 30 minute mark, but i sat, "no, i'm gonna finish this. it could always get better" but i never felt it did. ugh.

2/5
I actually very much enjoyed Breathless, Vivre Sa Vie, and Contempt, and would highly recommend them to anyone. Pierrot le Fou, however, matches your review above. And don't even get me started on Film Socialisme.

hmm, maybe you're right. Perhaps its a generational thing. 2010 seems like cinema/art/celebrities/etc affect the culture more than say, in 1950. Just look at all the Avatards Marketing in 2010 seems like a piece of cake and people's opinions seem easily malleable with easy access to people's brains via TV, facebook, internet, etc. Just 25 years ago, the culture wasn't as easy to affect with the art it seems. But yeah, in general I'd agree that the culture is probably the independent variable, and the cinema/art is dependent, but I bet they're more interdependent than anything.

really had no idea what this film was about going into it. i know a bunch of users on here are big fans of it (most notably jhiggy) but i still had no idea what it was about.

as it turns out, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is parts of many genres: thriller, mystery, suspense, horror and drama all rolled into one well crafted film.

honestly, there isn't anything that stands out in my mind that i didn't like.

the cinematography was excellent, as was the whole atmosphere of the film. i love when a film can carry a certain feeling during it's entire run, and this film does exactly that. the old, fancy feel of the houses, the cold harsh, European winters, the warm sunsets off a mountain top. all if it felt perfectly at home in a story that is at times extremely unsettling and very disturbing in nature.

what i like (not the right word choice here i know) about the film is that in the "hard to watch" scenes, it doesn't show us everything. only the beginning, or end, or details in between. everything else is left for us to fill in, for better or worse. which makes those scenes all the more intense, hard to watch and unsettling. unlike American crap horror films like Saw and Hostel that show you everything, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was scary because it was extremely real and held a lot back. but again, this is not a horror film per se, so people who dislike horror should not be walking away now, but just know there are moments that are shocking and difficult to watch.

the girl who plays Lisbeth does a phenomenal job here, as does the actor who portrays Mikael. but Lisbeth gets top billing. she can play tough, hurt, closed off, quiet, and expresses a lot of emotion via body language and facial expression. a lot of actors / actresses now a days simply cannot do that if their life depended on it.

the film had me hooked pretty much from the get go. and even with a 2 1/2 hour run time, i was never bored or zoning off. i loved how certain story lines came together, i love how certain story lines that at first seemed completely irrelevent when first viewed suddenly made sense when something else happened later on, and i love how the mystery and intrigue is always there. loose ends are tied up (kind of surprised by that for some reason) and even though i watched this via netflix instant, i'm sure the blu-ray of this looks phenomenal with the great scenery.

fantastic, original story (even though some parts are used to death and may even at times seem "cliche" but here the directing and writing put a fresh spin on a lot of areas), incredibly tense moments filled with piecing together a tragic puzzle all equals success. add in great performances and some very memorable (even if for the wrong reasons) scenes, and you have a wonderful (probably wrong word choice again) film that everyone should check out.

oh, and the score is incredible. a lot of scenes had me on the edge of my seat because of the score. it's that damn good.

5/5
Couldn't agree more with what you said. I throw it amongst 2010 films since that is when it premiered here in the US and it's in my top 5 at the moment.

Noomi Rapace has also already gotten the part as the female lead in the Sherlock Holmes sequel. You probably already knew that, but I figured I'd throw it in there anyways. I'm glad she's getting the recognition she deserves as well. It's nice to see her getting some big parts over here near now too.

I'm starting to enjoy your thoughtful and thorough reviews! Keep 'em up bro!

Agree 110% on everything you said. Just watched it 2 weeks ago. Loved it for all the reasons you stated. Didn't realize what you said about the "hard to watch" scenes but great point. I loved how the cam was in a "ceiling fan" position during that one scene - showed us what we needed to see, without showing us what we didn't need to see.

Great points on the directing/cinematography and the nature/winter scenes. I loved those winter shots in the Swedish woods of 30 foot tall trees, as the camera wanders and stares bleakly into the
[Show spoiler]Nazi mansion as the narrator discusses the Nazi past of the dude who lives there
. It was so well done that it re-energized childhood memories of looking into a scary looking place from afar or off the property line -- like the kid scene in To Kill a Mockingbird when they're looking over at the next door house while they talk about the gossip of how a monster kid supposedly lives there.

Le Petit Soldat is a fine political film by Godard.

Yeah I remember reading that she got the part. Too bad I didn't like the first one, but I will def see the sequel because of her. If you search on google you can find quite a few offers that she's got at the moment.

The Eclipse (netflix instant)

Synopsis: In this supernatural thriller penned and helmed by award-winning Irish playwright Conor McPherson, Ciarán Hinds stars as a recent widower who begins to sense that a mysterious presence is sharing his house. Iben Hjejle and Aidan Quinn co-star as a pair of novelists whose worlds converge with that of the widower thanks to an international literary festival in Wexford that brings surprising changes to all their lives.

Film: 2 1/2 stars (out of 4)


I gave the film a half star bump because Hinds puts in a great performance. The film, however, was not very good. In fact, I found it quite boring and rather pointless. I thought the directing conveyed "first timer," in that there were multiple camera techniques used but none really seemed to have a point. Disappointed.

I think mine is 1 off. But I'm not gonna count to 105.


I know, I know. I've had it for a week. The problem is that I've been super busy this week and when I get home I don't have time for a 2 1/2 hour movie. That's one reason I picked The Eclipse tonite, which was only 85 minutes. I plan on seeing four movies this wknd so let's hope I can catch up.

There's a new counting system, that's why the numbers off. If you click on your collection the number will be less than it shows when you look on here. It now separates box sets. Like I own the Bourne trilogy so it counts it as 3. So anyone that owns a box set of some sort will notice their totals are higher. Question answered

I sent in that suggestion to the programmers when the feature first took place (exactly two years ago to date) and they said they'd look into it. Looks like they finally decided on it (not trying to take credit ). A lot more accurate though imo.

I figured you would have known already. I really liked the first one, but I can understand why some people may have been turned off by it. Just did a search on her on Google and the roles she is rumored to be in talks for right now are pretty impressive for her first roles here. I only knew about Sherlock Holmes 2.

I was about to post this, but never mind then. It's not a big deal, but I'm glad they finally made the change. I'm guessing they are still working on getting the counts on our actual collection pages to adjust as well.

that explains it -- I had the collections and the individual films in there to try and address that problem, but failed to realize it was causing double counting and now triple counting Just cleaned it up -- only single counting and down 20 films

Mulholland Dr. (netflix instant)

first, last and many thoughts in between while watching Mulholland Dr. :
[Show spoiler]WTF!


i'm gonna start this off by saying this will probably be extremely long, extremely WRONG, and i don't think i could ever understand 1/4 of the things in this movie, or in any David Lynch film.

now, i was able to follow along the tricky path of LOST for six seasons, i was able to get my head around the dark and frightening work Lynch did in Eraserhead, i was able to somewhat follow the mayhem in Triangle, and i'm able to follow along with what happens in Donnie Darko. but none of them. NONE of them match the insanity that Mulholland Dr. gives you.

the "story" is quite simple - i think - a young woman moves to Hollywood to begin an acting career and finds a woman in her aunt's apartment that is suffering amnesia. okay, simple enough right? nooooo.

there are i believe 3 different stories that get started within the first 40 minutes or so. there are a lot of odd characters we meet and i was instantly awaiting what connection these people all had to each other. and after the film ended, i was left with a few possible conclusions.

is there a definitive answer to what happens in Mulholland Dr.? i have no idea. i don't think Lynch's Eraserhead had a definitive answer behind the madness that happens there, so while i don't really expect any of my theories to get shot down quickly, it is possible, and i may again either be over thinking things or i'm just NSE again

no special order on which one i think most of, just how they came to me:

theory 1:
[Show spoiler]it's a film that focuses on accomplishing your dreams, and when something gets in the way, trying to work around that. i think Betty (or "Diane") is so hellbent on making it big that when Camilla gets the jobs she wants, she either wants to be her or get rid of her (in the last few scenes when she gives money to the shooter guy, i'm guessing this is to pay the limousine driver to shoot her? / get her out of the car so she never gets to the house so Adam never proposes to her?) but at the same time she is in love with her and wants her around. so when she first arrives in Hollywood and Camilla has amnesia, is that so she doesn't know she's an actress so Diane can get her jobs instead?


theory 2:
[Show spoiler]personality disorder? she actually is Diane who seems to not be an actress and lives alone in an empty house and she has created all this in her head? and everyone else is a character of her imagination of what she wants. when "Betty" is at the audition she looks at Adam and Adam looks at her as if they are attracted to each other. and then she is in the restaurant with the shooter guy and pays to (maybe) have Camilla killed? so she can't be with Adam in the house at the end? so she (Diane) can be? so because of the personality disorder she creates and puts herself wherever she wants to be.


theory 3:
[Show spoiler]everything was real until Diane/Betty and Camilla have their "scene" () and then Camilla starts chanting (in Spanish?) and then the guy at the concert / show deal says, "it is all recorded" and "this is all an illusion" and then the singer comes out after he disappears and that blue light is there (WTF). and then at the end of the movie the lady in the audience says, "selencio" (spelling off i'm sure, but that's how it sounds) just like Camilla says. and the BLUE light is just like the BLUE box and the BLUE key that opens it (which is when the "WTF?!" moments really kicked in i believe) and now all of this is a constant repetitive state that all the audience members are now in. i'm not sure what it "shows" (fears? since then we see the dinner scene that Diane obviously is uncomfortable with) but now reality is lost for everyone in attendance?


i'm sure i have more theories, but it's late and i don't think i could fathom thinking about this anymore, even though i'm sure i will.

anyway, for those who haven't seen the film and obviously cannot read the spoilers, i'll say that if you want something that you really have to invest 100% into, want something that has extreme replay value, a refreshingly original, odd, and extremely off the wall story this is it. the structure of the film may piss some off as you'll soon find yourself asking, "well what the fudge was the point of that scene an hour ago!" and the film does raise a lot of questions... but if you like a pay off where (i believe anyway) the answers are open to interpretation, this is a film that must be seen. if you like everything all tied up with one solid answer, then avoid, because this will certainly upset you as it doesn't give you a "2+2 = 4" type solution to what Lynch presents.

Naomi Watts plays the dough-eyed young country gal who's all sorts of "oh gosh look at that big building!" about Hollywood (for the most part... ) and she plays it extremely well. and while i thought we were supposed to "follow" her through this bizarre, unraveling story (you still can), i connected more with Adam, the director who, simply put, asks, "what is going on?" in his first scene. in essence we (the audience) can follow both, but the film doesn't need someone for us to tag along with through this brain melting tale. taking the journey alone or with one of these characters isn't going to help the questions from piling up (love it! ).

i did make note though that at times the feel almost felt corny. some scenes were mixed with odd dialogue, quirky beyond belief characters and zany music. but it wasn't corny in the bad sense, it certainly seems Lynch knows exactly what he is doing because if he wants tension? then he has tension. if he wants really dark humor, then it's there (and is ), so i don't believe the film has moments of off the wall corniness by accident, it's very, very deliberate.

the directing, i think is genius?
i can't really say anything about it as i was sucked into the story too much to really pay attention to how the film was directed. and that's the beauty of Mulholland Dr. (at least for me): i had absolutely no idea WTF was going on. no idea what was coming next. after awhile had absolutely no brain activity because Lynch had blown it to pieces and it was pouring out my nostrils but i loved every excellent second of it. i really wish this would come out on blu in the U.S. because i would pick this up asap and watch it repeatedly.

maybe with more time spent thinking about it i will understand it more and Mulholland Dr. is the type of film that refuses to let your brain go once the credits roll. i'm sure i'll be up for hours tonight, trying to sleep, but unable to because of the film. i'll constantly be wondering what it all meant and if i will ever know. or ever be happy with what i think is right. that may sound bad, but it shouldn't, it's absolutely wonderful too many films instantly leave your memory bank once the end comes, not this one. not even close.

5/5

It was so well done that it re-energized childhood memories of looking into a scary looking place from afar or off the property line -- like the kid scene in To Kill a Mockingbird when they're looking over at the next door house while they talk about the gossip of how a monster kid supposedly lives there.
thanks Surf! i'll try and keep good reviews forthcoming
i've never been one to just have a score after a film. way too boring i always like adding 18 pages of blabbering to any film i feel deserves it (good or bad) to maybe help someone else see it for the first time, or to revisit it.

i don't have any 2010 list started (probably should... hmm...) but i'm sure this will be very near the top.
