May 24, 2001 Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky (Review) This Russian sci-fi film is probably most comparable to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001.
May 24, 2001 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 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 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 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 A Simple Plan by Sam Raimi (Review) An “intelligent” film from the guy who brought you Evil Dead 2.
May 24, 2001 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels by Guy Ritchie (Review) Why can’t more movies like this be made?
May 24, 2001 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 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 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 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 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 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.
May 24, 2001 Drunken Master 2 by Jackie Chan, Lau Kar-Leung (Review) Jackie Chan’s finest moment?! It could very well be.
May 24, 2001 Adrenaline Drive by Shinobu Yaguchi (Review) There’s something offbeat and charming about Adrenaline Drive that ultimately offsets any lack of originality.
Jun 24, 2000 Fight Club by David Fincher (Review) One of the few movies in recent memory where I was forced to look at the concepts and ideas behind the dialog and images.
Jun 3, 2000 Black Belt Jones by Robert Clouse (Review) There were several times throughout the film where you’ll either shake your head in disbelief at how awful it is, or you’ll just find yourself wondering how Belt can be that cool.
