May 24, 2001 Movies Rushmore by Wes Anderson (Review) The humor is wonderfully low-key and dark, the dialog is witty, and the performances are incredible.
May 24, 2001 Movies Samurai 2: Duel at Ichijoji Temple by Hiroshi Inagaki (Review) For a movie that’s about a famous swordsman, we actually see very little of him.
May 24, 2001 Movies The Third Miracle by Agnieszka Holland (Review) If you’re looking for a film that doesn’t trivialize the struggles that faith and conviction can bring, this is a good one.
May 24, 2001 Movies That’s the Way I Like It by Glen Goei (Review) There are times when the movie gets a little mushy and melodramatic, but for the most part, it’s a blast to watch.
May 24, 2001 Movies The Street Fighter by Shigehiro Ozawa (Review) For the most part, the fights are brutal and gory. But it’s good for the kitsch factor.
May 24, 2001 Movies Go by Doug Liman (Review) I just can’t get enough of movies with ensemble casts, wierd plots, and a sense of continuity that refused to go from Point A to Point B.
May 24, 2001 Movies Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky (Review) This Russian sci-fi film is probably most comparable to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001.
May 24, 2001 Movies Black Mask by Daniel Lee (Review) As far as mindless action flicks go, I’d probably prefer this to some musclebound action hero spouting cheesy dialog.
May 24, 2001 Movies The Wages of Fear by Henri-Georges Clouzot (Review) I just didn’t find it to be the great thriller it was made out to be.
May 24, 2001 Movies Drunken Master 2 by Jackie Chan, Lau Kar-Leung (Review) Jackie Chan’s finest moment?! It could very well be.
May 24, 2001 Movies The Corruptor by James Foley (Review) Chow Yun-Fat aside, the rest of the movie seems too unfocused, unexplained, and uninspired to be enjoyable.
May 24, 2001 Movies A Simple Plan by Sam Raimi (Review) An “intelligent” film from the guy who brought you Evil Dead 2.
May 24, 2001 Movies Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels by Guy Ritchie (Review) Why can’t more movies like this be made?
May 24, 2001 Movies The Professional by Luc Besson (Review) A great, action-packed thriller that has definite influence from John Woo, on both visceral and emotional levels.
May 24, 2001 Movies The Night of the Hunter by Charles Laughton (Review) A condemnation of the hate and bigotry that religion at its most fanatical can bring about.
May 24, 2001 Movies Shallow Grave by Danny Boyle (Review) A fun picture to watch if you’re in the mood for something twisted and “effed up.”
May 24, 2001 Movies Three Colors: White by Krzysztof Kieślowski (Review) It almost feels oppressive and the movie’s attempts at humor aren’t enough to shirk that feeling.
May 24, 2001 Movies Three Colors: Red by Krzysztof Kieślowski (Review) My second favorite movie of the “Three Colours” trilogy, Red is not without its weaknesses.
May 24, 2001 Movies Three Colors: Blue by Krzysztof Kieślowski (Review) To be honest, this film may just be the best film I’ve ever seen that deals with the subjects of grief and loss.
