yeah, Baraka was freakin' awesome! i commented on it at some point in this thread i believe.

Anyone living in LA should go to LACMA this friday to see Kiss Me Deadly, also available on criterion blue ray. The film noir to end all film noirs, that depicts the end of the world in a briefcase (que Tarantino steals all his material from older movies line) with the sleaziest mike hammer ever shot in black and white. From the opening credits, which run upside down, to one of the most famous endings in film noir history, Kiss Me Deadly oozes hysteria, desperation, and the perversity of the modern amoral world.

what exactly is a pie?



Сказание о земле Сибирской

Пианист Андрей Балашов (Владимир Дружников после ранения на фронте во время Великой Отечественной лишился возможности серьёзно заниматься музыкой, так как повредил руку. Не попрощавшись с друзьями и Наташей (Марина Ладынина, которую любил, уезжает в Сибирь. Работает на строительстве комбината, а по вечерам поёт в чайной.




Случайно, по погодным условиям, на аэродром вблизи этой стройки сажают самолёт с друзьями Андрея, летящими на конкурс за границу — Борисом Оленичем (Владимир Зельдин и Наташей. Андрей встречается с ними. Встреча меняет его жизнь. Он едет в Заполярье и вдохновленный героическим трудом строителей пишет симфоническую ораторию «Сказание о земле Сибирской», которая получает всеобщее признание.

Оригинальная версия картины примерно на 10 минут длиннее известного современному зрителю «восстановленного» варианта 1966 года, который обычно показывается по телевидению и тиражируется на видео и DVD. В варианте 1966 года вырезана песня о Сибири, очень напоминающая по музыкальной теме песню «Там вдали, за рекой». Отсутствуют эпизоды, в которых на заднем плане был портрет Сталина (часть диалогов из-за этого подверглась купированию. Некоторые кадры фильма несколько подправлены. В финале, в текст оратории были внесены исправления — удалены упоминания о Сталине. Возможно, что часть исправлений была произведена значительно раньше: в каталоге ГФФ указывается наличие «перемонтированной» версии фильма, датированной 1954 годом.

Fuck... thank you for mentioning this I've been looking for this movie for like 13 years. Saw it once in high school as was pretty much blown away and have been on the lookout ever since

Just saw inception. If the movie wasn't as big a hit as it was , and wasn't as mainstream pop culture - it would probably have the biggest cult following of any movie in history. 10/10.

Snow White and the Huntsman was pretty disappointing.

Iron Sky is a very clever film and the more you know about (history of) cinema, the more you will enjoy this.

Iron Sky was fucking awful, starts with a descent space scene and then it gets into F movie material- you've heard of B movies? well this ones an F- the dialogue is weak, the special effects look like they were done in the 60s with digital technology, the pace of the movie is sooo slow- and the acting- im surprised they did it with a straight face..

I can recommend 'Perfect Sense' : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1439572/
awesome acting, very engaging plot that keeps moving the story forward, and what a head trip- just makes you think about life...

You realize it is a satire, right?

And the budget was about 7 million, 1 mil. of that was fan funding. I'm not sure what you were expecting.
