Viewing Up to 9/11


Tsai Ming Liangs brooding drama about displaced lonely people. Its slow but somewhat infectious. Towards the end it has a few great scenes. But as a whole I was not destroyed.

3/5













Nimrod(Kontroll) Antal's hitchcockian thriller. Generic but well executed. Surprisingly toned down for a movie about people forced into a snuff film. A few good moments and an interesting look make it watchable but forgettable. Honestly say I expected much more out of Antal.

2/5
















Kinji Fukasaku gangster pic. Not as wild as usual. Maudlin as hell in parts, but still has some charm. Low on the Fukasaku canon.

3/5










Its a bugs bunny cartoon starring Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti and a horde of dead nameless thugs. Id say its about 50/50 with hit/miss jokes. Some cool action, some to crazy. But in the end its a fun experience.

3/5
