In Love and Death, Diane Keaton's character says the following about Woody Allen's character:
"Boris is trying to commit suicide; last week he contemplating inhaling himself next to an Armenian."
I'm guessing Allen is insulting Armenians by saying they smell, so by inhaling next to one, he was trying to commit suicide. Although it does say inhaling himself rather than inhaling next to...
I will be watching The Dark Knight in a few hours. I will post reviews for my film marathon and include the review for The Dark Knight as well. I have literally been waiting two and a half years for this film. Since early 2006 when it was announced and rumors about Heath Ledger went out.
I don't know how/why Federate gave it a 9; that serves no justice. I imagine the film being nearly flawless as critics/users have said. It's the only comic book film to every be compared to The Godfather II, Heat and even Martin Scorsese!
I shall be back! That's if I don't die from excitement!
Fargo
Just an overall great film by the Cohen brothers. Screenplay and direction were amazing. This is exactly what a good film should be like.
Punch-Drunk Love
Very interesting film by Paul Thomas Anderson. His style is a combination of so many filmmakers. I absolutely love the way he shoots his films. He's an amazing writer and a visionary director.
Exotica
A great film regardless of what anyone says. This is a beautiful story and I love the way Egoyan constructed the story. He starts off by making us assume certain qualities about the characters and we slowly find out we were completely wrong. Beautiful film!
Match Point (Second Viewing)
This was my second viewing of the film because my family wanted to watch it. Amazing film, as I previously said. One of my favorite Woody Allen films!
Meeting Woody Allen (Short Documentary)
This is a 25 minute documentary with Jean-Luc Godard and Woody Allen. Godard meets and speaks with Allen about cinema. Very interesting to hear Allen talk to Godard, who has always been somewhat of an inspriation. I only wish it was longer.
Bande à part
Great film by Godard and has some classic scenes; minute of silence, dancing, and the Louvre. Very well done, great film.
Love and Death
A very interesting concept by Woody Allen who digs deep into philosophy with this hilarious comedy. The film pokes fun at Armenians but... it's all in fun. Great comedy with some hilarious scenes and homages/parodys with Bergman as well.
The Dark Knight
No matter how much time or thought I put into this review, nothing will do justice to how great this film was. BEAUTIFUL film and an amazing work of art from Christopher Nolan. Heath Ledger stole the movie and never gave it back. This was not a comic book movie, this was pure film. The ending was incredible and once others see it, I'll feel more comfortable to discuss it. Best film ever!
I watched The Dark Knight yesterday with my family, they all didn't like it. I actually thought it was intriguing and very well done. I loved the insight all the characters gave for what they represented, the kind of choices Batman had made and how Bruce had to back them with his heart and soul. How the Joker twisted the expectations, hopes and ideals of Bruce and Gordon. These were all things my family couldn't pick out. They seemed to agree that filmmakers these days have run out of ideas
