2009-05-16T13:09:00.000-07:00

Jim Jarmusch's latest film. It kind of reminds me of a video loop in that it repeats identical motifs over and over, but with different scenes and characters.

Hunter MFA Thesis Exhibition

2009-05-16T12:50:00.000-07:00

In his video Sighting the Curve (at the Spring 2009 Hunter College MFA Thesis Exhibition), Martin Murphy displays the visual aesthetics of cinema while breaking down traditional cinematic structure and narrative. His works displayed here convey the confusion, apathy, anxiety, depression, and desire for escape found in the modern, urban psyche.

Adult. Decampment

2008-10-18T15:46:00.000-07:00

Adult. has created a "horror" film with their own score to match. They play the score live in conjunction with their film, and it is certainly worth checking out. The music is stellar, but this is Adult.'s first film and it shows. There are some amazing film stills though.

Takashi Miike's Sukiyaki Western Django

2008-09-06T09:19:00.001-07:00

This film is like a Japanese "Kill Bill". It has some gore, but not as much as Miike's earlier work. Imagine the Bloods meeting the Crypts on a Western stage set. An English speaking Japanese Cowboy rides into town to save the day. No American or Old West cliche is left unspoken, and like many Japanese films REVENGE guides ones actions. This movie is sometimes brutal (rape and violence is commonly depicted in Miike's work), but outside of the stylized violence the film is often quite funny. The opening scene alone makes this movie worth watching.
