It's All Gone Pete Tong 2004, R)
This one is sinfully ridiculous...its just amazing. Plus the soundtrack is awesome. I love this film because it shows how the human spirit is able to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Just when one hits the very bottom, very hard... to feel useless, and become depressed is truly the easy way out** Paul Kaye is breathtakingly powerful. This is actually based on the life of a real life person** |

The Court Jester 1956, Unrated)
I think this was one of the most perfectly made comedic films Ever!! I remember seeing this as a child..and back then the film was already like 28 years old...but i remember thinking that Danny Kaye has got to be the greatest comedian of all time... a true genius- ahead of his time. |

The Dreamers 2003, NC-17)
Beautifully written and acted film. The freedom to explore sexuality is something we all think about at one point or another... this film shows you what would happen if you did. I've lived in Europe and friendship like that doesn't only exist in movies, or just in 1968 Paris LOL; go visit, go live-- if you Can!!hahaha |

Modigliani 2004, R)
A passionate performance by Andy Garcia** for those of you out there who are artists/creative by nature...this will remind you that: you don't Just make arT... you must liVe it** This will move you** It is based on the characters of life and art that were the 20th Century/ modern Masters of ArT. |
|
| 74 |
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus 2006, R)
I can't imagine someone of her genius being portrayed in any other way** To witness the birth of a geniusly talented "Freak!" was very entertaining. Robert Downey Jr. was simply amazing... you just can't take your eyes off of him.=P |
|
| 75 |
The Devil and Daniel Johnston 2005, PG-13)
Daniel Johnston.. a young man who rode fame- while on the border of genius and insanity; meanwhile becoming a legend as an underground- underDogg** Really enthralling film; D. Johnston shares souls with the likes of Brian Wilson/ Sylvia Plath..and other greats who lived art while losing reality*** |
|
| 76 |
A Good Year 2006, PG-13)
Simply an endearing film about finding peace with yourself...and with LOVE* |
|
| 77 |
Copying Beethoven 2007, PG-13)
Ed Harris truly became the Force of Nature that was Ludwig van Beethoven...his portrayal was powerful. The Ninth Symphony scene where he conducted...well, I just closed my eyes to the music and it was powerful, and struck a cord in me that almost brought me to tears... as did all the other actors in the scene. |

H 2003, R)
Cross between 'Seven' and 'silence of the Lambs'; but I think i would've enjoyed it more if it were dubbed in English. Still, it managed to have an amazing, terrifying ending*** |

Avenue Montaigne (Fauteuils d'orchestre) (Orchestra Seats) 2006, PG-13)
Simply a very warm, very French , and very romantic film. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and i was simply entertained!! |
|
| 81 |
Factory Girl 2006, R)
A really enthralling, truly eye-opening film!!! This is the best film that captures the essence of Warhol / Velvet Underground Era. Guy Pierce gives a poWerfully calm and flawless performance/ and Sienna Miller is simply Tragically WonderfuL. The Glamorous & unglamorous sides of fame, the "Factory"-scene, and the Totally CooL. |
|
| 82 |
Gangster No. 1 2000, R)
THis movie is pure genius... a testament to the acting abilities of Malcolm McDowell . This film is just powerfully RaW, and so corruptively Tastey. A cult-classic of a GangtsA FilM, its just something you won't forget. Striking scenes and great acting will have you living in their world of the unethicaL. Tarantino wishes he could have made this film!! hahaha |
|
| 83 |
The Darwin Awards 2006, R)
This movie was so great! It made me laugh and think about the sometimes odd nature of ourselves. David Arquette & Winona Ryder were really good. This film is what would happen if you cross "CSI" with the guy from 'The 40 year old Virgin." |
|
| 84 |
Volver 2006, R)
I found it strangely refreshing to see a movie that revolves around situations that are actually plausible!!! I know women from small towns like this one, and these family secrets are a normal thing. I thought Penelope was outstanding and the rest of the cast were really wonderful. Makes you think, does my family have seCrets like these?!!! Hahahaha |

The Wedding Singer 1998, PG-13)

Look Both Ways 2005, PG-13)
This film reminded me of the human realness/ and humility of "Bridget Jones's Diary." Its about how we all feel connected and disconnected; I loved this because I can see myself and loved ones in each of these characters. Sometimes Loneliness doesn't want to leave us alone..so its up to us to see through the daily chaos and reach out to connect to another. In this film even the silence between people really is powerful. I highly recommend this one**** |

Tekon Kinkurîto (Tekkonkinkreet) 2006, R)
This film was truly amazing** The characters will become close friends to you-as you watch the film. And the villains will are closer to our reality- in that they're not totally unbelievable..LoL Great philosophical piece..as well as A really fun film for all kinds of film-lovers, plus lots of great moral themes and lessons of redemption** |

Eagle vs. Shark 2007, R)
Very quirky sort of mini-thingy sort of film this is; sort of like the language I just used* lol It has that really cheeky, sarcastic, brain-stuttering, low-drag Napoleon Dynamite feel to it* |
|
| 90 |
The Dog Problem 2006, R)
Ribisi is anxiety-attack electric in this little film** Great cast , including the Dog who seems to thwart any advances in his master's pycho-therapy treatments** LoL Really funny, and a good look on what is important in the sanity of your own mind** The language & dialogue between the actors- plays like it really could be you in your own life* Its a very personal film*Check it out for sure** |

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson 2007, R)
This film about Dr. Thompson is much more than what i expected. Just blew me away- As a writer/artist myself- the Doctor simply and always has made sense to me- from his view on politics to his trans-formative and innovative writing style. This film has simply justified for me that the insane genius of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson should be of high importance to anyone who knows a thing or two about the literary universe.* |
