Movies

Yeah, so I saw a lot of movies this weekend.

Elizabeth: The Golden Age - Mediocre, at best. Slow and dragged on. Shorten it to 2 hours and it's golden. It's not, so it fails.

Michael Clayton - Amazing. Everything about it is awesome. However, it's VERY complex and mind bending. You have to think, so be prepared. I still feel like I'm missing key details of exactly what happened. Gotta see it again.

Across the Universe - Perfect is one word that comes to mind. It just works. And, contrary to many people I bet, the movie is best viewed sober. Trust me.

I'm glad I didn't see it in the theater, and it was barely worth a rental.
If it didn't have any connection to Holmes it would have been perfectly fine. An OK movie further weakened by a tenuous connection to Holmes.

Wait...

So, I'm watching Amelie (about half-way through...) I take it this was the inspiration for the Travelocity roaming gnome?

"Amelie" was excellent... as I'm sure you've heard. I can cross one off the "films I really need to see" list.

The actress in the title role is just flat out beautiful. And her character adds to it. She's like a little pixie who never lets anything negative slow her down for long. And anyone she interacts with comes out better for having met her...

It's not the type of thing I usually watch, but I'm glad I did.

It has been a while since I have seen it and probably about due to watch it again.

Outside of Alien Resurrection, Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a damn good director. Delicatessen and City of Lost Children are some great weirdness and A Very Long Engagement (also with Tautou) is also very good.

I liked Delicatessen. It was really out there, but very entertaining.

Finally checked out The Road last night...what a depressing, harrowing movie. One of only a handful of movies that gives you a true sense of hopelessness.

Beautifully shot though and done extremely well. Outstanding performance from Viggo.

I just watched a great film from 1971 called Walkabout. It is essentially LOST: the movie. A teenage girl and her little brother are taken out to the Australian outback by their father who attempts to kill them. They escape and dad commits suicide. The two are not having a good show of surviving alone on the wilderness when an Aborigine boy, on his rite of passage known as the Walkabout, finds them and helps them survive. This is not a happy movie, though. The lack of communication between them ends up ensuring that, while together, the white kids and the Aborigine kid end up more lost in their lives than ever before. Simple story of desperation and sadness. But the thematic parallels to Lost are many in number: daddy issues, the failure to communicate with the people you're with, surviving in the wilderness together vs dying in it alone, nature as something to protect, hunting as metaphor,fear of the Others, the question of whether or not man is inherently savage, the pitfalls of life in modernity and the possibility of finding yourself out in the wilderness, the desperate need to go "home." Even time; the movie is perhaps not shown in exact chronological order and some scenes might be imagined, even. There are numerous motifs that the film and the show share: a toy airplane, mysterious radio brodcasts, numbers, a team of scientists out in the wild.

I'd recommend this film to everyone, as it is quite good (a part of the Criterion collection and available on Netflix streaming), but especially to fans of Lost.

By which you mean this year's best film to come out of America? I'd wager he's right.
