Ryan is Grant

I loved this film a lot. It's use of cinematic conventions is astounding. So many dollies, zooms, quick editing. Stylistically, it's profound and bold. This film taught me a lot about directing. It had a huge cast, and each one of the characters have their unique attributes and Marty does fabulous work at keeping everything and everyone interesting. Furthermore, the film made me want to eat Italian food, be rich, and hand out hundred dollar bills. 4 out 5 Netflix, 8 on 10-scale.

Not much to say here. Just wanted to point out that the best thing about this movie is Parker Posey playing the character Danica Talos. She is the only saving grace to the film. Amazing performance. She gives it her all. 2 out 5 Netflix, 5 on 10-scale.

Star Trek is a highly enjoyable film! I loved the effects, the relationships and history of the characters. Great work with casting young versions of the original gang. The effects were stunning. Loved the creatures, ships, fighting sequences -- the film was really exciting! If I was to critique it, I would say that it really does not follow the Star Trek canon. Overall, it feels more like a fan film than anything else. What we see is not a prequel. What we actually see is an alternative reality to what we know of Trek history. Therefore, the filmmakers can get away with the film not following the canon. Time Travel and Alternative Realities allow authors to explain away anything. They are cop-outs. They are devices that provide a simple solution to a complex problem. So I would criticize the film for that -- HOWEVER, I love those kind of things, and I thought the fact that they were used didn't take me out of the story. 3 out 5 Netflix, 8 on a 10-scale.

I'm gonna need some time to develop my thoughts on this one. I'm very glad I finally got around to watching this film by one of my top-five favorite directors, Stanley Kubrick. Overall, I think it insightfully captured what it means to desire sex, control, and comfort. A fascinating film that includes images of Christ, orgies, violence, government, politics, and scientific treatment. Iconic images that will certainly last forever. 4 out of 5 Netflix, 8 on a 10-scale. A Clockwork Orange

I just finished this film. Watched it on Blu-Ray at my friend Sidney's place. She's got an amazing digital projector. I'm floored by how perfect this film is. Every set up had a perfect pay off. I love Michael Clayton's character. George Clooney does an amazing job. If you want to know at least one thing about me, then know about my obsession with acting. There is not enough time or page space for me to dwell on how impressed I was with the entire cast. Ask me personally if you want a full explanation. Tony Gilroy! You are a crazy man! How on earth do you come up with a story like this? And not only write it, but direct it as well. Supreme job. Everything about the film reeks of excellence. Every person involved. Robert Elswitt, great lighting. Steven Soderbergh, George Clooney, James Holt, Anthony Minghella, Sydney Pollack, Jennifer Fox, Steven Samuels, Kerry Orent -- you crazy clowns and your money. You crazy clowns and your Producing skills. I give it

Today, I was double-chatting Brian Walton and Aaron Noble. I came up with a new word in the process: coldkalkndag
