Vendredi soir (2002)
a worthless film
i love the french cinema, i am not bashing this film because i havent seen alot of foreign films but they have copied the american film industry and made a worthless clone of previous french films. okay maybe i am a little to hard, but when i watch a film i expect certain things and so it should be advertised as an experimental film. there is no drama just two people who have an affair in a hotel, so theres a little mood going on; a night, a transit strike. and to top if off there's even a director's commentary, about what? two people who meet with hardly any dialogue and hardly any chemistry? the dialogue is so muted at times that i couldn't even practice my french. i am so angry after watching this, a film that shouldnt even have been made.
I Shot Andy Warhol (1996)
6.5 come on it was riveting
when i watched this little gem i couldnt help but think of all the school shootings, of all the alienated teens that used their adolescent harmones in such a way. what makes this even more compelling is the fact that the shooter this time is a woman, although maybe its more commonplace now.
the acting was so suburb for a directorial debut, i cant believe her only other movie was american pycho. lili taylor was so great in Household Saints, although the script makes her go a little over the top at the end in this film.
Hannibal (2001)
as good and even better than manhunter
julianne moore is now one of my favorite actresses as her performance was better than any jodie foster could muster. its too bad that anthony is now approaching his 60's as he was not all that believable at times. this movie reminded me of Godfather part 2, as it was a suspense genre. (i voted a nine as i was completely surprised to the upside) far superior to silence of the lambs and foster's disney like approach to clarice.
Gohatto (1999)
mesmerizing
