| Someone made a movie of their teen-aged dreams. This movie is purely sex (literally) and rock and roll. In my best effort - I try to see the beauty of this short film, but I don’t understand why the writer and director Michael Winterbottom, didn’t just make a calm and beautiful porno (essentially thats what this is). As I read reviews I see that some see it as the simple beauty between a young, careless, obsessed with sex couple. But, as great and simple as that can be, I can’t get over the lack of story (which those who love the movie rave over it being such an important film: its so different from what we would see in a character-driven movie). Without those deeper connections, I think it is a very non-memorable movie, and for the slight ounce of character we saw in the male “Matt,” its pretty sad. I think Winterbottom had some bit of good intentions, but mostly just wanted to see if he could get away with it. |  |

Being the early stages of this blog, let me say that I hope to not impose my feelings and/or opinions and views upon my readers, (as I hope I will seldom do), but in some cases I find things that I see to be so beatuiful (which are often things of great controversy) that I feel the need to share them (and hope that they are looked upon with open minds). This blog after all is here to merely inspire you, in which I will be more detailed on in the future as I add an “about” page - my idea of this blog was to share with the world the aesthetics that they may have not before seen. With this being said, this movie is simply a great story, but written so amazingly well: its not just the script, but the simplest idea of conveying the questions and points that are brought about in this movie - questions and ideas I have for long tried to bring about my friends and family. Although, it may have been told in not the best “movie format / plot” ever, the fascination you will see is quite an experience. Please watch “The Man from Earth.” |

Teeth is the scariest and the funniest movie one can see. Warning: if you are a male you might not want to see this (not because it is a chick flick, in which it is far from, but because it may leave you with frightening thoughts), and you should definitely not watch this before going to sleep - you will have the worst nightmares of your life. Some of the scenes will leave your hand over your mouth in fear and you”ll have to pause the movie to finish your laughing. |

Downloaded and watched this the other night, and was very impressed and amazed. Finally a good depiction of Hitler (opposed to the Western depiction that he is the most evil man to ever live), as well as a good depiction of Nazi Germany (again opposed to the Western view). It is quite long, but you never for a second get bored. And, you”ll want to learn German after seeing the lead actress Alexandra Maria Lara! The actor who plays Hitler is amazingly spot-on for what I thought Hitler would act and sound like. Overview: Hitler chooses his last assistant near the end of the war. As the Russians get closer, he sends troops that no longer exist, and as his Generals try to explain, he assumes that they are betraying him. He decides to stay in Berlin as it is attacked, which ultimately forces him to kill himself. |
