    Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer

    has anyone seen this/going to see this? it's directed by Tom Tykwer of Run, Lola, Run Fame anyways, it annoyed the shit out of me. it was very poorly structured and its tone/narrative would shift very suddenly. i feel like i saw two and a half movies. the original novel has an 'unfilmable'...

    Volver

    I just got back from an early screening and it's up there with his (Almodovar) other recent movies (Talk To Her, All About My Mother). It's familiar stuff by now, the whole family melodrama thing, but it's done very well. The sentimentality is never really irksome. I thought it had a greater...

    Straw Dogs

    I watched this film earlier today and it's very interesting, i must say! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067800/ It's the first Peckinpah movie I've seen, so the violence was no big shock. I found it quite well made but it seems somewhat ambivalent in its meaning. The film can be seen as...
