2 Days in Paris written and directed by Julie Delpy (2007)
28 May 2008I was really hoping for more of the magic of Before Sunrise and After Sunset, but honestly the characters in Julie Delpy’s freshman directorial effort were so off putting in comparison that this film suffers a bit. Honestly I never saw what these two saw in each other, though they both give great performances, there [...]
Priceless (Hors De Prix) by Perre Salvadori (2006)
30 March 2008I have dyeing to see a movie for quite some time, but there has been absolutely nothing out since last year, so when I heard a new Audrey Tautou movie, I knew I had to rush out and see it, and was not disappointed (and yes I have watched many movies in between this and [...]
2 Days in Paris written and directed by Julie Delpy (2007)
25 March 2008I really had high hopes for this film, and wanted to watch it with my lovely fiancee Kelly because we are both such big fans of BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET, which this seemed to be a spiritual sequel too, but she couldn’t watch it because it is all handheld and too shaky for her, [...]
Renaissance by Christian Volkman (2006)
7 August 2007A computer generated French science fiction film, and a top notch one at that (you can tell by the voice talent, I mean Daniel Craig, Jonathan Pryce and Ian Holm, damn!). This is really a must see for all those who like the utopian/dark futuristic visions. And the artwork is beyond belief. The whole film [...]
Joyeux Noël by Christian Carion (2005)
25 November 2006This is a film that my father’s wife rented on NetFlix because it was a Christmas film, and this was not what I was expecting at all. This is an incredibly powerful and moving film about the futlity of war, that is based on a true even that occured on Christmas Eve in 1914 during [...]
Clean by Olivier Assayas (2004)
23 April 2006Now I have to admit that I am a huge Maggie Cheung Man Yuk fan, thinking she is one of the best actresses in the world, and I did not think that my opinion of her could approve, and after seeing this my opinion of her has improved. No wonder that she won best actress [...]
The Dreamers by Bernardo Bertolucci (2003)
3 October 2005Hmm not sure what exactly happened to my review of this film, which I know I did, but it disappeared, so I will write a new one here. Of course I know of the films of Bertolucci, especially last Tango in Paris, but for some reason didn’t have any desire to see this film, but [...]
Banlieue 13 by Pierre Morel (2004)
12 August 2005I had read about this film and seen clips of David Belle in action thanks to Kung Fu Cinema and had showed it to my friend Ashanti, really wanting to see it. Well Ashanti picked it up, and we checked it out, and it is totally bad ass. And Cyril Raffaelli who was also [...]
