  • Spoilers

    Slate! I love you but why can't you give spoiler alerts??? Today's article about Lars von Trier could have included one (not a fan of that director but still), and Dana Stevens often includes spoilers in her movie reviews, which, considering their purpose, are mostly read by people who have not yet seen the movie. A fear of spoilers is the reason ...

  • This film suggests we had terrorists and hijackers B4 9/11?

    Sad but true. Americans and the world have been ''taken for a ride'' by paranoid, militaristic, foolish Nation State Governments and our political ''leaders'' including the latest, Barack Obama, who continue to insist on the necessity of continued warfare against ''Terrorism'' when this film about the German Baader Meinhoff Complex proves and ...

  • Dana Stevens Obtuse Take on this Movie

    Apparently Ms.Stevens doesn't understand the difference between a value judgment and an objective criticism. She finds this movie ''disappointing''. Yet she says, ''The movie's sense of temporal dislocation is profound and pervasive and very skillfully done...'' Then she says, in the most self contradictory statement she could ever have written, ...

  • "Now even our most critically acclaimed films are cartoons"

    I really don't see what the problem is with great films being animated. Thanks to Pixar, the medium has become an outpost for true auteurs to express unique visions with storytelling and visual style of their own. It's probably true that live action big money films have had their artistic voices squeezed out, but that ''cartoons'' are receiving ...

  • ennjoyable movie, paced

    I saw this movie back in December at a film festival and enjoyed it greatly. I thought it was nicely paced. Not fast paced, not slow paced, but it moved in a way that seemed to reflect the land it was taking place on. Don't go expecting constant hack and slash, though there is enough to satify, it is more about the young life of the man who ...

  • Who is the best movie download site?

  • A Brutal Experience

    Here is a critique a friend of mine made: A Brutal Experience There is no question but that this is brilliant filmmaking. As are most of the Coen films. It is deplorable in its finale. The problem with writing this sort of appraisal is that I would give away much of the ending to explain it in detail, and I appreciate that there is no reason for ...

  • Why Dana Stevens' reviews always leave me "cold"

    Dana says that Coen Brothers movies leave her ''cold'' because ''The brothers make movies that can be good, even very good, without seeming essential.'' What Dana refuses to tell you is exactly what ''essential'' means. A good question might be whether she even knows what ''essential''. I mean, she wrote it and all so you would that that she ...

  • Surprise! It's...wait, what surprise?

    Viejo Vizcacha: I find it surprising that the reviewer assumes that EVERYBODY in the US is aware of what is happening in the world and the crimes that are committed by the US government in the name of its citizens. He says: ''There's something depressing about the idea that events such as the abduction and murder of an American journalist (A ...
