wow...u r an ignorant moron...

Look for a 2007 article by Johannes von Moltke in New German Critique, a related article by Lutz Koepenick on a resurgence of "heritage film" in Germany (though it addresses Aimee&Jaguar, specifically), and an editorial about Downfall by Wim Wenders from when it came out (Oct 21,2004 in "Die Zeit"?). You will also find various quotes from the writer of the screenplay, Eichinger, claiming that the film makes no value judgements - for a good discussion of that, look to David Bathrick (in the same issue of NGC as the von Moltke) and Sabine Hake ("Leaving the Bunker").

impressive, actually. not your usual disaster movie, pretty realistic in terms of acting and events. the obligatory "oh wow i cant believe you came back for me, lets declare our love for eachother the first time" was there but didnt take more than 30 secs.
oh and the lack of any musical score whatsoever makes it all the more dramatic

Coolness.

yea, sry. will look for articles not already on my computer next time

anyway, I saw Harold & Kumar (the first one) again - still way funnier than it should be. 7.5/10 for relaunching NPH's career (I figure this film is how he got in on How I met your Mother, which kicks ass). Hopefully the sequel won't ruin it.

The Nines 7/10

What a weird movie, can't really explain what's it about without spoiling anything. But's its like 3 stories linked to eachother and getting weirder by the minute. It's definately very interesting.

Saw it yesterday. I too thought it was good - but certainly not for the story, which was completely mediocre. The acting was good and the cinematography was great - and that's what makes this film stand out from all the other movies set in space where a bunch of heroes has to stop something terrible from happening.

I give it a 8/10, could have been a 9 if they had kept it a tripped out psychological thriller and left out the lunatic killing everyone near the end.

yeah that dude at the end was like: wtf is this then?

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2008 3:03 pm**

i seen that old movie -- hellboy

its weird cuz if someone described it to me i;d prolly think it was shit.

Oh god, NO JACKAL NO. This movie was near to complete shit. While pretty for the most part, it was ENTIRELY predictable and came off as some sort of horrid mix of Solaris and Event Horizon. The crapstone to it all was the blurring out of the fucking bad guy. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? The movie just clubs you over the head with foreshadowing and everything that happened was so bloody obvious...

If that's the best film you've seen in a long time, you need to watch better flicks. Poor bastard.

Lucky Number Slevin 7/10

A good gangster whodunnit, though not exactly something special.

Also, about Sunshine: i got the impression they were experimenting with the visuals and it led to some stuff that was succesful (the flashes of dead people when a flashlight hit the camera creeped me the fuck out) and some stuff that came out all wrong (the blurring of the bad guy was indeed really annoying). I dunno, i liked it for the most part.

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2008 6:43 pm**

I guess only Nightshade and me found Sunshine utter crap.

Once: 5/10
Umm, if you really like Damien Rice (or Glen Hansard/The Frames) and want to watch an 86min music video for an Irish singer-songwriter, then this is your film. If that just sounded faggier than a sack of dildos to you, then you'll want to avoid this. Or maybe you're Irish and can relate... you might like it then. Maybe.

I was the asshole Jackal was mentioning who thought Sunshine was complete shit. There was no reason whatsoever for "the bad guy" to even appear in this film. I thought,"Ok...this is Red Planet/Mission To Mars then it becomes Supernova and then it becomes Event Horizon...all in one film."

I thought the build up of the character's beginning obsession with the sun's light to be an interesting development in terms of someone going batshit and wrecking the whole thing but this "blurry dead guy who thinks he talked to god" is the worst cop out in a long time.

WTF is right.

Sunshine = 5/10

I thought Will Smith was fine but the dog carried the story most of the way. And the mutt did a great acting performance.

I though Sunshine was at least an 8/10.
I'm sorry somone went Rambo on your UN friendly crew that went to save the planet (and BTW suceeded) BUT at least they got it right the SECOND time and imposed their imperialistic agenda on the universe, despite it wanting to snuff us out.
Also they got rid of all the fissionable material to create the solution so we will all live in peace, except now we are vulnerable to nuclear weapon equipped a l i e n s that our tinfoil space suits will not protect us from and all the usual perils that we failed to fix like over population and our need to provide for their increasing needs on this planet.

LOL! I agree on that one. I was thinking of a better reply, but what the fuck, you sum it up just right.

BTW, Rob, please check out your private messages, I just replied yours from long ago.
