BAD LIEUTENANT: POCNO: B. Enthrallingly eccentric in both direction and narrative. Plot hits several dead ends, & yet persists. Great pulp.

SHERLOCK HOLMES: C. Ritchie flails about trying to make Dan Brown-esque historical fiction bad-ass. Just middling mostly. Downey solid.

After that I'm compelled to watch TEAM AMERICA or (the new) BAD LIEUTENANT.

LIVERPOOL: C-. Formalism for the sake of formalism. Can't help but wonder if fests/crix would care about this if it were made by an NYU grad

Are modern moviegoers so mentally inactive that AVATAR's allegorical elements are referred to as "hidden messages?"

35 SHOTS OF RUM: B. Typically hypnotic and poetically composed, deftly balancing melancholy w/o dourness. Lacks punch of Denis' best, though

@ is the rest of their stuff as good as "Crown on the Ground?" recently discovered that track via P4K.

@ Sounds good, that gives me some extra motivation to catch up once my break officially starts. HUNGER = 09?

/Do the Right Thing/: A. Still among best of all time. So incredibly dynamic & aims its radicalism at hate rather than simply point fingers
6:48 PM Dec 20th

-
/Synecdoche, NY/: B. Tons of inventiveness and I dig Kaufman's ambition but last act still tedious & overwrought.

technology/money still doesn't move me like Lubezki, Doyle or Deakins.

AVATAR: C+. When did a wide angle lens become insufficient for creating visual depth? Inane script, often visually stimulating but all that

@ TONY MANERO has 5 votes-all from male crix. can't deny the near parallel implications
