the "director's cut" of the Butterfly effect was better than the normal version.

 

Definitely, but it's still a rather poor movie.

 

I saw Notes on a Scandal the other day and I really liked it.

*stamp!*

Wife has been out of town all week so I ran through this list and scooped up a few movies to watch.

 

Primer - Pretty fucking cool movie, little hard to follow at first but definitely a good flick. I like most of Th!nk films though.

 

Fear & Loathing in Las Vega Criterion - Finally got around to getting this. Seen the movie a million times but this was the first time I've seen the Omnibus BBC episode with Hunter and Ralph Steadman. I've been reading his books alot lately, most recently Kingdom of Fear and Hey Rube. God damn I miss the man, his writing is dare I say soothing.

 

The Libertine - Another Depp flick. Really liked this one as well, pure debauchery and the play with all the dildos is fucking hilarious.

 

Vertigo - This one has been on my list of movies to see for years but I always forget about it. Finally glad I got around to seeing it, probably the best Hitchcock movie I've seen.

 

 

Also, even though I already own it, I wanted to second the previous recommendation of Roman Polanski's The Tenant. Such a fucked up but intriguing movie. I'm sure this movie provided at least partial inspiration for Ed Hollywood, which I didn't much care for. I got this as a gift, probably because it was in one of those .99 cent dvd bins at a gas station.

 

Tried to find Holy Mountain but nobody around here sells or rents it! Guess I'll have to get this one off amazon.

 

I also still have darjeeling unlimited to watch...Anyone know if this is any good?

It's an animated short from the people that did Mindgame and Catsoup.

Visually very impressive and with a nice score.

 

Another great animation which I haven't seen mentioned here on watmm:

The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb

 

Feature length with stop motion and pixilation.

Unique surreal film.

all you can get about Fellini - he's a master,one of the greatest,if not THE greatest.

 

as well as Antonioni,"Blow out" is his best one.

 

Antonioni,with Soderbergh and Wong Kar Wai,directed "Eros". you can't miss this one

 

all you can get about Peter Greenaway

 

the infamous "Tetsuo" from Shinya Tsukamoto. i suggest you all his filmography as well.

 

all you can get about Takeshi Kitano,but if you suck for Tarantino,well,give a go to Kinji Fukasaku's "Battle Royale"

Listen to this man.

 

We have the AFI Dallas film festival here this week and they just screened Gonzo. It's good, one of the better documentaries about HST.

I just got around to watching the Bourne Ultimatum. This was really good, this is one of the few series where the sequels are better than the original.
