I love you man - Very cliche'd and yet unexpectedly funny. Especially Jon Favreau.
Marley & Me..
Awesome.. If you are a pet lover, this movie is surely gonna bring you down to tears.
Black water..
An aussie horror movie which keeps you on the edge throughout. Recommended...
"Heat", in a single sitting. I took two the first time.
Michael Mann :notworthy:
Deniro :notworthy:
Pacino - Good, in bursts.
Genuine piece of inspiration and possibly the pinnacle of city cop/burglar flipside-of-the-coin procedural-cum-action films
No surprise to me that Nolan took this (and Mann's Collateral, thief, among others), and Blade runner as influences, when he made "The Dark knight". Bravo
Deniro topples Pacino in nuance and depth of his character. Pacino's part is a deliberate antithesis of sorts, but a bit ineffective imho
Waltz with Bashir
Good.
As I just saw Waking Life recently - I found it less engrossing.
B(K), regarding the paaltiks, I thought the "denial" was brought out quite well. idhukku mElayumA avinga kittErndhu edhir paartheenga :lol2:
I guess it's the lack of oppressed (Palestinian and Lebanese, in this case) POV in mainstream, that worries B(K)
Oh okay.Quote:

adhai thaan solraarnu nenchchEn.
Anyway, I thought the 'personal exploration' part , struggling with the dominance of subjectivity, inability to make one simple sense of it all, were the things I liked about the film.
Waltz, and Waking Life - I surely wouldn't've enjoyed them if they were not animated films.
Adhu (excepting) oru frablem, in this context!
Perhaps why they were both animated, although through different means, drawing and rotoscoping respectively.Quote:
