Magnolia. 1999. Dir. Paul
Thomas Anderson. Dark and moody. Life, love, loss, emotional trauma, guilt,
stupidity, forgiveness, honesty, compassion, redemption. All this packed into
tales of synchronicity, and the lives of intertwined characters during 24 hours
in LA. And frogs.
·
From Dusk til Dawn. 1996. Robert
Rodriguez. A movie of 2 halves. Bad ass B movie followed by rubbish.
Entertaining kitch.
·
The private lives
of Pippa Lee. 2009. Dir. Rebecca Miller. layers of life and love history can lead to
quiet desperation ... then happy rebirth. This was a corny film, but I liked
it.
·
Is anybody there? 2008. Dir. John
Crowley. Learning to live with life, this is an excellent portrayal of
understanding and acceptance of human frailty and regret.
·
The Last Station. 2009. Dir.
Michael Hoffman. The pain of a long love derailed by celebrity and tension
between pragmatism and idealism.
·
The Hurt Locker. 2008. Dir.
Kathryn Bigelow. So I've watched it now. It was worth it. Interesting crack
opens to some of the truths of war.
·
The Good Shepherd. 2006. Dir. Robert
De Niro. Lies, lies and more damn lies. How the CIA grew and played
international politics as if it were a college game.
