Collateral: 7/10
well made, but the plot is extremely naive and clumsy. worth watching once if you can tolerate its obvious shortcomings.

Talladega nights. 7/10
not quite as funny as most Will ferrell movies.

9th Coy was pretty decent for a Russian film.
never watch the shit they make in russia these days, especially not movies about war.
watch Heart of a Dog is you want to see what a real russian cinema is like at its best.

russian cinema?
best?
shrug.
call me a francophile but i think french cinema has pretty much dominated the 20th century in terms of quality, innovative techniques, theory and themes. they're not afraid to tackle big questions - existential, metaphysical, spiritual etc. - whereas western cinema seems to like a 'watered' down and populist version of 'deep' drama, e.g. inception-type shite.

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
black swan was 9/10 for me. not sure about the rewatchability factor but as a self-contained, one-off cinematic event it was absolutely top notch. generically it blended so many film styles and conventions that i'm just not sure what to take away from aronofsky's hybridism-- but it definitely worked. it didn't feel like a bad pastiche or a hodgepodge mix of over-ambitious film-making... it effortlessly blended together multiple genres and came across as being extremely sleek and polished. obviously the performance of portman/kunis was of a top-standard, and the supporting cast were also excellent. the musical scoring in the film was excellently well matched to the scenes - both the staged ballet sequences and the off-stage drama.
the film is typical aronofsky and that's all i wanted: a brilliant little headfuck that entertains you with a wry, smug smile.

p.s. that said, you clearly haven't seen much of russian cinema. and if you did you certainly didn't understand much of it.

... yes, that's exactly what my post said. "russian cinema? the best of? shrug"
i don't know, thanks for repeating my post.
thanks also to c1l124156125twad for recommending some

Unstoppable - 8.5/10
I can always give credit to an action/suspense movie where you know what's going to happen in the end yet it still remains pretty suspenseful. Good pacing, picks up pretty quickly without sacrificing any backstory. Definitely has likable characters as well. Only reason it's not a 9 is because the entire time I kept thinking of ways they could've stopped the train besides the limited set they gave. They couldn't have brought in some sort of military chopper to kill the cab alone? Regardless, solid action movie.

anyway, just in case you deside to watch russian stuff, make sure you add Podranki to your list.

They were two separate thoughts Shat.. He was obviously comparing French cinema to the rest of the west.

A friend of mine wanted see American psycho as he hadn't seen it yet. I decided to show it to him and i watched it for the, i think, 7th time or so. Still a 10/10 and my personal favourite.
I've been reading so many good things about black swan here, so i might just watch that one of these days.
