great foreign films

http://kenru.net/movies/2007-8_academy_foreign.html

if you enjoy great foreign films, check out this list of a few mini reviews to get in tune with the current good ones.

my movie revues #32

the diving bell and the butterfly - see, this movie is elite and therefore you should watch it. many times i have considered only watching french films and nothing else. the french do it better.
the good night - see, but i dunno. it's about a guy and his sleeping dreams. relationships not working makes it a bit of a downer but it was ok.
the assassination of jesse james by the coward robert ford hd - see, very good.
der untergang hd - see, the film puts you in a very surviving war frame of mind.
enchanted hd - see, this had some pretty fuckin funny moments for the grown people. if you are on hard drugs. or not.
beowulf hd - pass, dumb movie about some monsterly creature attacking people in a barn which is supposed to be a castle. they only made this film so they could show coarse violence and nudity, but in animation, to get a pg-13 rating. if you have seen polar express, this is the same type of animation/realism. if you have seen 300, you have seen a much better film.
good luck chuck hd - see, although everyone says this is a really bad film, i took a liking to its crude humor. jessica alba is super hot.

my march tv review

holy shit it's the middle of march

gossip girl - returns in one month for 5 more episodes. woohoo. and picked up for season two.
entourage - Season 5 will premier in September 2008 instead of June. fail. same for heroes 2008 fall. weeds is back june 16.
prison break - finished season one off bluray. debating whether to watch two and three.
breaking bad - the hottest new shit on tv. act like you know. it's about a high school teacher
turned meth dealer but better than you can imagine.
arrested development - flew through season one in days. gonna watch the rest in a timely manner.
curb your enthusiasm - still need to see seasons 3 4 5.
family guy/south park - watch them as they arrive to enjoy lolness.
the wire - best show ever. i'll be missing you.
in treatment - quite the commitment with the numerous shows but it's good.
sophie - still watching weekly. great.
saturday night live - first three new ones have been good.

that's about it.

Mister maturity

http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,,2264496,00.html

interview article with harmony korine. i saw the preview for his new film. it looks cool.

Sarah Slean - The Baroness

high quality music. i didn't link the music vid but the album is excellent. the simple way to judge an album is if you sit through the whole thing on first listen. this one is bound to grow on me since the first single has after just a few listens. get it.

Spitzer's call girl

http://oddculture.com/2008/03/12/emperors-club-vip-ashley-alexandra-dupre-kristen-photo-and-myspace-page/

on very rare occasion i'll post something related to the biggest story of the day. here are pics of a "musician"

She & Him - Volume One

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/49188-volume-one

the first 3 seconds of the album sets the tone for the rest. you hear Zooey Deschanel's charming voice and sit back and lounge out to this one. check it.

Guerrilla Filmmaker - Rik Cordero

So Many Characters, Yet So Little Resolution

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/arts/television/10stan.html

Brain Enhancement Is Wrong, Right?

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/09/weekinreview/09carey.html

Is this enhancement, or a matter of removing the cloud over our better selves?

here's my take. all drugs are awesome. the problems arising from drug use are to be blamed on the user and not the drug.

Akon - I Can't Wait feat T-Pain video

looks like a winner

Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I - IV

http://ghosts.nin.com/main/home

"Nine Inch Nails presents Ghosts I - IV, a brand new 36 track instrumental collection available right now. Almost two hours of new music composed and recorded over an intense ten week period last fall, Ghosts I - IV sprawls Nine Inch Nails across a variety of new terrain."

a lot of people that make instrumental albums come up with blandness. this is not that. it goes from loud to soft, it is made with skill. trent is making everything you could want available. from elite vinyl to 24 96 audio on bluray. which i find to be of major interest. most 24 96 stuff out there is from vinyl. this should be right from the top top studio. trent is a pioneer.

Alicia Keys in London

whole concert summed into ten minutes.
