Arlington Road (1999)
Finally, a formula film gone berserk.
Don't you just love it, the ending, and the actors (especially Joan Cusack, she's so scary), but what really gets you involved is the direction (Pellington Road, that's how I call it). Wrooom, Jeremy did speak in class today. He said: When I grow up I want to be a terrorist. Now, what can we do about it? Nothing, that's the real bummer.
The End of Violence (1997)
California dreaming
Wenders in California, a European view of all those sunsets of yours, of the immigrants, of Hollywood and its wheel of fortune, and of violence, of course, which can only end when violators are scared to death by something even scarier than themselves. Wenders can find poetry and dreams in everything, even in Andie MacDowell. Again, something for those who are searching for the untypical.
Wag the Dog (1997)
This is not funny anymore
Given the situation, one would think that by making movies about the real thing somebody would like you to think it's not. It's amazing that this movie got made. Somebody up there is extremely far-sighted, clever, and good in reality management. What is the world we live in?
The Game (1997)
finally, the story
Maybe it's because I haven't heard anything about it before seeing it, or is it due to poor writing for cinema in general that has diminished my expectations, but here I've finally found a story with the beginning and the end, a little bit magical and also realistic: what to do when one has too much money and too much power and no sparks left in his life? Play the game and experience a rebirth. However, my sister says she was too clever for this one. Knew everything in advance, that is. I wonder how much the bill was, though.
Truly Madly Deeply (1990)
incredible, comforting, touching
This is an extreme example of more than just a movie. It could be used as a therapeutic device for everybody who has lost someone they loved. Life goes on, that's how it is, and there's nothing you can do about it. Thank you for making it.
Ekspres, Ekspres (1995)
The best Slovenian film of the last three decades
Go, Igor, go, you are the proof that Slovenian films may, should and must be different. There's soul in it, and this is rare. Don't let anybody put you down!
Idioterne (1998)
the line is thinner than we thought
That is, the line between sane and insane. This is not easy to take. This is not easy to watch because you know deep down that you could do it yourself, if really needed. And yes, Denmark is a strange country, people are so free, maybe too free. This is not just a movie. I've always loved those. A quiet applause for the man, Von Trier. (clap clap)
The Tango Lesson (1997)
there is plenty for me in this film
What can I say? Sally, thank you for making this film. If any woman in a crisis could do something like that this would be one happy world. This is about satisfying one's needs, and I really needed that. And besides, every frame is so beautiful, to hang on the wall or something. And then there's music, incredibly emotional music. Dancing is only a bonus. Why did so many critics kill this movie? I guess there were more reasons behind Tango Lesson than normally.
Crna machka, beli machor (1998)
I rate this merely 6, this is Kusturica!
Kusturica did some of the best films I have seen, but this one shows that he has mellowed out, that now he's only funny, that there is almost no surrealism left for him to show us. This is slapstick. I'm used to much more from him. And by the way, language is not Serbo-Croate (which also doesn't exist anymore, now it's Serbian and Croatian respectively), but Gypsy language. They are funny and merry and entertaining, but dreams have left Emir, or maybe he has left them in the Balkans. You better watch his other films instead, twice.
Blake's 7 (1978)
To all the makers of this series, what a trip
Finally I have a chance to say this to you: This series was the one that gave me most scares when I was growing up, but still had to see every episode. Up to the last one which was totally unforgettable. I'm still afraid of robots and et's. But thanks anyway, this is what growing up is all about.
Me, Natalie (1969)
I just cried and cried
This was one of the crucial films in my childhood. Can't forget it. Anyone of you who reads this knows what I mean. If not, find it, watch it, and cry a bit. It's good for you.
