Posted by: GalacticPothealer on Nov 12, 07:46 in response to tatoufan's post What did you see last week: Arbitrage (B), Total Recall (C-)

 

The Great Flood (2012, A-) Morrison's found footage doc is a narratively inventive, graphically striking & rhythmically refined work of art.

Cinéma Inch'Allah! (2012, A-): Four Muslim friends make amateur films as an antidote to personal failure in this inspiring & incisive doc.

Take This Waltz (2011, B-): Every scene overstays its welcome in an otherwise enjoyable, quirky indie dramedy that wallows in melancholy.

Frankenstein (2004, D): This telemovie is faithful to the source story but that doesn't excuse its dearth of visual & narrative creativity.

Blade Runner (1982, A+): Even with all its flaws, this moody meditation on empathy & human nature remains the perfect movie. Yes, perfect.
