Thanks. The added sound effects were a nice touch too.

This is probably one of the most beautifully shot films I've ever seen. Ever. Being a huge fan of David Lynch(obviously), Terrance Malick, and of course Stanley Kubrick, I was floored by some of the stills in this film. It's without a doubt the most beautiful film I've seen that was made before the 60s. The lighting was beyond perfect. It made the movie darker than plot did and the plot was pretty dark.

The story was very good until the end. I wasn't very impressed with the end but the whole feel of the movie made up for the ending. This was kind of like "Sunshine" in terms of the ending being a bit disappointing but can be completely excused by the rest of the movie. Robert Mitchum was very good and very scary. His singing and manner of speaking was frightening because of how evil he was even though he was a "man of God".

It's a movie with a few plot flaws but like I said...just a masterfully shot piece of history. I don't usually do this but here are a few of my favorite shots from the film...

Oh, and 10/10

Let me know if this works:

It's a tad blurry, but not enough to make it a horrible wallpaper.

wallpaper for.... mobile background? computer background?

assuming the latter.... just watch the movie again and take a screen shot while in full screen view....

The Criterion Bluray for that looks really great.

It's too blurry. I'm such a picky five year old with that stuff. Thanks anyway man.

I DVR-ed it but plan on buying it soon. I'll try this idea.

I've never really been into black metal but I loved this documentary. The story of Mayhem and other acts that branched off from them was definitely different than the ones I had heard from word of mouth. The interviews were great and the stories were awesome. Well done.

Essential film that really revolutionized how films portray historical events. Paul Greengrass must have seen this movie a thousand times because it reminded me of Bloody Sunday. The documentary style filming was great and I liked how the film was shown from both sides with minimal bias. Great film.

I think this was the last film where Kubrick collaborated with a cinematographer. It showed. I liked the film but I could really tell that Kubrick was limited in what he wanted to do with the shots. The ending was great.

Very important film to watch. I will say that it was like taking a sleeping pill at times but it was because of the way the film progressed rather than because it was boring. A very slow burn that had hilarious dialogue at times and a great ending.

I wasn't too impressed with this one but there were a few scenes that were interesting. I think this is the first film I've seen Mickey Rourke in before he looked like a monkey. He became a much better actor later on.

My least favorite Coen brothers film besides Lady Killers. I do however believe this film will grow on me. I need to watch it again.

I was very surprised by this one. My girlfriend wanted to see it really bad and I thought it was going to be horrible but I knew it had gotten good reviews. It was very funny. I laughed a lot and I don't usually like comedies. It wasn't as good as say Superbad or Step Brothers but it's definitely the funniest movie this year.

This was a huge bag of meh. Some scenes were okay and entertaining but overall it wasn't very good. The ending was interesting though.

One of the better documentaries I've seen recently. Through footage shot by the reporters themselves as it was happening, the whole film tells of what really goes on in military run Burma. It was an eye opening look into a country we really can't look at.

Average political drama. I expected more out of Watts and Penn after seeing them in 21 Grams. Just very forgettable.

5/10

I will kindly disagree with your assessment of Mickey Rourke. He made BARFLY the same year Angelheart came out. So I would say he became a better actor the same year. Barfly is one of my favorite movies. Really enjoy your reviews and your eclectic choice of movies.

Thank you sir. I try to watch as many films as I can. This is the first year where I'm keeping track of everything I watch. There is a link in my signature of everything I've seen so far...if you're interested.

I didn't mind Angel Heart, but the book it was based on, Falling Angel, was much better.

The City of Lost Children

I usually make a habit of watching this at least once a year, and I enjoy as much as I did when I first viewed it. Such an imaginative film that is for whatever reason awarded an R rating in the US despite the fact it could practically be a family film, or at worst a PG-13 film. I like how every character feels important, even the little bit characters, and the dynamics between the girl Miette and the man-child Ron Perlman was really well done despite the fact that Ron Perlman doesn't speak French. Completely unique film that really needs to be watched by anyone who enjoys the work of Terry Gilliam or the movie Dark City.
