2008-02-05 12:05:00 by Brilliantly Dumb Jock in GMAN's Film Blog
 
...Brilliantly Dumb Jock. I know I won't GMAN sucks. Yes I know most of you disagree. But I dont. He really really sucks. Well mostly just his movie taste. And his fashion sense. Oh and his choice of books. I am currently sitting next to him on the bus to Kentucky as he reads his Harry Potter novel. Generally what I am trying to establish...

...brilliantly spasmodic Gene Krupa on skins), who falls for Cooper's innocent professor, she's gloriously earthy yet glamorous and, in the end, almost heartbreakingly sweet.

DVD Review Of Landscape In The Mist

2007-10-11 14:36:00 by cosmoetica in Unspoken Cinema
 
...brilliantly unobtrusive yet powerful narrative through a series of realistic, yet utterly poetic, moments. He also trusts his audience to watch and get the little moments of insight he slips in and never condescends to them. He leaves much in the film unexplained. But, we can fill in the blanks, and even if my answer is a bit different from...

...brilliantly, displaying just enough homespun charm mixed with the right amount of "my way or the highway" arrogance to make Byrnes alternately amusing and terrifying The film juggles the politicians and physicists stories deftly but it is the Szilard - Oppenheimer story that keeps everything afloat. Oppenheimer loved being in charge of so...

...brilliantly feed off one another and, combined, leave a haunting spell greater than any other double feature you might pair together this year ( Grindhouse was many things, but haunting wasnt one of them).

...brilliantly executed suspense sequences as Javier Bardem is chasing Josh Brolin and it wasnt about plot of the Mexicans and what have you. It was really about something much deeper, something I was relating to in my own life and no, Im not going to get into what that is. Its too personal and its my own business. But those thoughts didnt...

Italian Neo-Realism: I Vitelloni by Federico Fellini

2008-05-11 21:35:10 by Gautam in Broken Projector
 
...brilliantly in providing us a mirror for our own nostalgia. I would go as far as saying that Fellinis own sense of nostalgia clearly pours out of the film and into the viewer own mind and establishes a rare connection. We all were in a group of similar-minded friends at one time or the other. Weve all be accused to being irresponsible to the...
