David Lynch has a new short film




-Vader

Always a pleasure to watch Lynch. Always.

I would love to add more Indian films to my watchlist, if anyone has any suggestions! I've seen many of Satyajit Ray's films, as well as Lagaan , but besides those I'm pretty new to Indian cinema. Add the films of Ritwik Ghatak( The Cloud-Capped star and A River called Titas ) and Guru Dutt( Pyaasa...

The Man Who Knew Too Much (both versions) - They each lack momentum and focus, although I prefer the original for Lorre alone. The famous opera set piece is fantastic in both versions, but one does enjoy Hitchcock going all out in the latter. Low-mid tier Hitch. -Vader The 1934 version does not lac...

First episode was fantastic in every way possible. Great to see Chazelle back in action. Though second episode was almost insufferable because a character was annoying af. Let's see how the rest turns out.

A monumental loss.
RIP

There's this moment when she opens her arm, welcomes death, suddenly this character that life has kept beating up seems to find hes dignity in her...

The Leopard - one of the most beautiful movies ever made, as if the characters are trapped in the painterly canvas, struggling to escape the cruel tide of history. More of an intellectual affair than an emotional one, but it's an interesting movie. I feel when I watch it again, after having process...

Sweet Smell of Success fucking rules "I'd hate to take a bite outta you. You're a cookie full of arsenic." -Vader Alexander Mackendrick was the greatest of all Ealing comedy directors, without a doubt.

I still can't believe I chose to watch these two movies back to back last night. Yi Yi (2000) There is always a slight nervousness, a thought that it might not live up to the hype, when you pick up one of the most talked about movies of the 21st century. Add to that it was going to be my first movi...
