Some films I’ve seen recently including opions - June 23rd, 2006 [ « ] [ » ]

Hard Candy
Good, inteligent horror film. Misery and Audition are the obvious refrence points.
36 Quay Des Oufevres
Those french guys love smoking don’t they? This is a bit Internal Affairs, a bit Bullet in the Head, not as good as either. Its OK but kind of rambling and directionless and doesn’t move quick enough to cover the plot holes. Also: Why are these flabby alcoholic 50 fifty year old policemen married to hot 30 year old women?
Enron. The Smartest Guys in The room
If you want to get angry watch this. It’s pretty intelligent and generally solid though if you’re like me you’ll be constantly annoyed at the way some of the participants repeat the misaprehension that Darwinian natural selection leaves no room for altruism or cooperation.
Transporter
Homoerotic.
The Ordeal
Not as good as the films it liberally quotes from (Deliverance, Texas Chainsaw Masacre). The main character is allready too odd to give the film a normal center around whcih the madness takes place. Some funny scenes though.
