The Remains of the day

11/10 pure perfection

 

[userlander]

I just saw an incredibly inspiring documentary on PBS the other night about an up-and-coming, well-respected musician and guitarist in NYC who had a kind of brain attack/aneurysm during a show and almost died from it, sustaining significant brain damage in the process, but then thanks to the support of his family and the community he came back to being able to function again after the doctors had basically written him off. What an amazing and inspiring story - I simply can't get it out of my head. "Life. Support. Music" - 10/10 - just incredible - turns out it's online in full, and well worth watching.

I wish Jason and his family the best, and hope he continues recovering to his absolute full potential. What a brave guy and family, truly inspiring.

I'm inclined to agree; just a fantastic movie. Most of the time I spent wishing to shake Mr. Stevens and scream, "wake up man!"

I caught Duplicity - 6/10 - for a U.S. dollar. It might be worth one or two more as a nice breezy movie for adults. It was slick, full of snappy dialog and jazzy flourishes. Clive Owen is the perfect cad.

Ghost World - Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Buscemi - a kind of cool little indie-type movie, 7.5/10.

I love the ending

I thought it was cool but at the same time I was sort of scratching my head about why they chose that ending.

Pineapple Express - 4/10.

 

[Jeff E]

6/10 - Gorgeous photography, sense of being in another place at an earlier time, simple plot, overly romanticized romance

Alic in Wonderland muted w/ Pink Floyd- The Wall playing: Not perfect but still trippy as hell.

mifune - 6/10

Terminator 4 - 65%

Ip-Man : A part of the story of Bruce Lee's master during the years 1943-1945. The story is pretty engaging, ip-man and his wife are very likable, the movie is funny without being cliche and the fight scene are astounding. This is kung-fu, not muay thai so the stunts are as spectacular as tony jaa's, but the fights are nevertheless really nice. 9/10

Thirst : Park Chan-wook's latest opus, it is the story of a priest turned vampire. It won the Jury Prize at Cannes, and it was well deserved. Probably it's finest aside Oldboy in my opinion, although the story isn't as easy to get into as a revenge one. 9.5/10
