Look Both Ways

Friendo 1 comment

When I found out that there was a possibility that masses of Australians had not seen Sarah Watt's 2005 masterpiece Look Both Ways it was hard for me to believe. But I guess its the same here in the U.S. When I called around the local video stores (population of Quincy, Illinois where I live: 40,000ish) to find a copy of Amores Perros (winner: Can...

The Waifs

I love it when I make what-for me-is a cool discovery. (I'm easily amused) While watching Sarah Watt's Look Both Ways (An Australian Movie, written, directed and filmed Down Under) for the 4th time, I got to noticing that not only was the soundtrack pretty unique, but pure, clear, and I just liked the music. I found out that this was an Australian...

Alan Wake

After recently being disillusioned with the current quality of video games, my faith in gaming has now been restored, and it comes in the name of an XBox 360 title called Alan Wake. I first became aware of Alan Wake not long after the game was announced in 2005 (seriously) when developer Remedy Entertainment released a couple of attention grabb...

Inception... Third best movie of all time?

Revised again on July 20, 2010: This movie is currenty rated #3 out of the all time top 250, with 39,850 votes counted on IMDb. Only preceded by The Shawshank Redemption (1994), and The Godfather (1972).This seems incredible to me, this movie was just not that good, and for sure must fall from this grace. Once again, the rating of this film is a sa...

Motorola Droid

After a long and frustrating battle with the absolute piece of garbage that is the Nokia N97, I finally decided to not wait until my contract expires (another 10 months) and instead bought a new phone outright. This handset is one I can get excited about, one that is as fast, slick and powerful as you'd expect from any smart phone today, enter t...

TiMER

TiMER TiMER (2009) You can't hurry love This is so new, that I have not been able to see it yet, just the trailer... and what I have been able to read on Netflix and iMDB. It seems to me to be very clever and cute. I am a sucker for clever and cute. Written and directed by Jac Schaeffer, and staring a few people you probably haven't heard of: Emma Ca...

Amores Perros

Amores Perros (2000) Love's a Bitch I watched this film several times this weekend, and the more I watched, the more I realized how cleverly put together it actually is. If you havn't seen it, this is an absolute must for anyone with an open mind, and does not speak Spanish, but is able to read subtitles. I've been on a movie watching crusade f...

Cashback

Cashback (2006) aka: Frozen time This thing really caught me off guard. Not only is the screenplay quite original, but it's great acting. I am absolutely in love with Emilia Fox (right), but I for sure enjoyed the actor and the character of Ben, played by Sean Biggerstaff. This is a British film, and certainly strays from the conventional fa...
