RE: The movie thread
Has anyone seen Moon yet? One of the better Sci-fi films I've seen. Sam Rockwell stars in this psychological space thriller. David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones makes an epic directorial debut. Nothing fancy, no high budget special effects, just an ode to the old fashioned way of movie making. I've never had conversations about a film like this one before. Sam Rockwell could very well be my favorite actor. How'd he fair in Iron Man?
Just finished watching Paris, je t'aime. 18 directors each with five minute films. Each film is a story that deals with the idea of love, whether it be heartbreak, longing, losing a loved one, or just wanting to fall in love with a vampire. There are quite a few good scenes. My favorite film was the Mimes. Some throw you for a quite a twist. It's pretty amazing watching, the way they can a fit an amazing story into five minutes. I recommend. Notable directors: Coen Brothers, Wes Craven, GĂ©rard Depardieu, Walter Salles, Gus Van Sant, Tom Tykwer. Notable actors: Elijah Wood, Natalie Portman, Nick Nolte, Steve Buschemi, Bob Hoskins, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Willem Dafoe. The style reminded me of the Jim Jarmusch film Coffee & Cigarettes, if you've seen it. I highly recommend that as well. They made an American version of the film called New York, I Love You, haven't seen it yet and heard it doesn't live up the original.
