killthenet Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Synecdoche, New York I had a dream the other night. In that dream the new Charlie Kaufman film (and his directorial debut) Synecdoche, New York was premiered on the terrestrial TV channel, Channel 4. I had previously read the script and was both baffled and gobsmacked by it. The film itself left me feeling even more gobsmacked, the visuals were stunning and everything was all very strange. From what I can remember Philip Seymour Hoffman was incredible in his role as Caden Cotard, with the supporting cast (including Samantha Morton, Catherine Keener, Hope Davis, Emily Watson & Michelle Williams) were equally brilliant. It seems strange to me that Kaufman chose to premiere his new film this way, on a television channel in the twisted dreams of a 20-year-old film student, but alas I am grateful. It was a unique experience that I hope will be repeated when I see this with my own eyes sometime later this year and that I will finally be able to come to terms with how multi-layered this film actually is. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomJcg Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yes ReZ, the sequels to the matrix, Matrix Reloaded (did not explain why anything happened, seriously!) and Matrix Revolutions (where'd they get all the machines they fight with from? no back story >.>).

ReZourceman Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Nope...not ringing any bells. My memory is telling me theres only one Matrix movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomJcg Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Really? only the one? The Second movie had the time maker or the key maker...or the watch maker.. some kind of maker oh and twins. The third had like 30.4 million agent smiths or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 School of Rock Wasn't funny, but was enjoyable. Jack Black's new film 'Be Kind Rewind' looks great btw! 5.5/10 Die Hard 4.0 Loved it at the cinema, and it was still pretty good on second viewing DVD wise. Great action, but more True Lies than Die Hard. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Die Hard 4.0 Same as i have said before, but now with additional stuff. This is a good movie but only downside is it doesn't feel like a Die Hard movie, unlike the original and 2 sequels after it do. 8/10 Waterworld Futuristic action/adventure movie with Kevin Costner. Shows an Earth once the ice-caps have melted and only a few specs of land have survived above water. People live on man-made islands and all that. Brilliant under-looked movie by many with some great action scenes and some laughable moments. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It is! Reloaded wasn't so bad, but revolutions was utter shit. I think it's the complete opposite. Reloaded was litterally a filler movie. It barely had any story, it was just stretched out action sequences snd overused slow mo. The only cool thing was Monica Belluci and the Architect. Revolutions on the other hand, really had a lot of story and was very good closure for the trilogy as it really set the story apart from all the movies, book and anime that the first movie "ripped off". While it was a radical departure from the first one's style (which is why most people hate it, specially because the first one was more stle than anything) I liked it very much. The first one still is the shit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The Life Aquatic ??/10 Can honestly say I really didn't know what to think of this movie. Don't know if I loved it or hated it. Never had this happen before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, I agree that the first is the shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portlett Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Atonement - 9/10 After reading the book I was quite keen to see how well this film had made the transition, its magnificent. Theres one scen on Dunkirk which is really well shot, the camera doesn't change for about 10 mins. I truly reccomened this film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 The Killing Of A Chinese Bookie Don't know why it's taken me so long to watch this, but I only watched this classic Cassavettes film last night. All about a nightclub owner with the world at his feet who gets into a gambling debt with the wrong people. Not a pretty film to look at, but the intrusive cinematography is highly effective and some of the bizarre musical numbers are masterful to watch. Easy to see why it's so highly praised and it's influence on modern filmmakers is clear from the very beginning. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did watch it in a dream though, but thought it so close to how I imagine it to be (and such a Kaufman-esque thing to do) that I decided to review it anyway. I don't think anybody has seen it yet, it's slated to premiere at Cannes and the first still has only just been released. Looks very interesting, you can see it over at beingcharliekaufman.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
