Actually, it took a bit for the Clair to win me over -- the first twenty minutes or so seemed cut from the same cloth as Le Million, a film a disliked intensely. Jesse James pretty much had me from the get-go.
It's pretty good, though I think it's the least of the three Bataille I've read. It seems a bit simple by his standards. Blue of Noon has a more fascinating real-world angle, and Story of the Eye is some kind of weird porno masterpiece. I'd steer you towards either of those before L'Abbe C.
But then, if you're counting Decalogue, you're counting it as one film. If we're talking canon, nobody ever singles out one bit of it -- rather, they include the whole shebang. Otherwise, what you have is ten episodes of a TV show. Same goes for Berlin Alexanderplatz; yeah, it's divvied up into 13 episodes, but it's considered one work.
I'd add it except it hasn't opened yet (this list is only for things that have been released). And when it does, I'll probably see it opening day. So likely, you'll never see it here.
I think the only saving grace of Pro-Life is its inital refusal to take a side by making everyone loathsome and horrid. That lasts for about fifteen minutes. Then everything goes to shit, from where I stand.
The way I see it, take Davies outta Rescue Dawn and you've got one of the best things Herzog's done in the last five to ten years. I don't know why I respond so strongly to seeing his man-vs.-surroundings aesthetic applied to fictional frameworks, but I do. Though I'm still skeptical about Invincible.
As for Blood... I dunno. I think the film lurches too much to be a genuine masterpiece, and I say that as someone who believes that PTA already has two if not three masterpieces on his resume.
It's got nine tracks. You'd think that, with Ms. McKay reining herself in, that there'd be no filler. Boy, would you be wrong.
Hate to say it, but I think that girl needs to slow her ass down. Didn't Obligatory Villagers come out, like, four months ago?
Hey, Dominik has a nice Ass., what can I say.

I've never seen a power player movie where the players have so little power.
Hi. I believe you have stumbled upon what is commonly referred to as The Point. Take your time to get acquainted with it.

You should wait until I get the last 200 entires up in my opinion. :-)
018 (8 Feb) The Fountain (2006, Darren Aronofsky) C Jodorowski lite.
Way more succinct than I came up with. More accurate, too. Good job, dude.
Diary of the Dead is fucking terrible. Save yer pennies.
A serious review of Thing-Fish is easy: Terrible, terrible stuff.

have you ever seen a boyle movie you didnt like?
All the time, actually. Thanks for asking, though.

Jesus. I thought we were done with this spamming jackoff.
