    My Dinner with Andre

    ★★★★½

    “They are living in an insane dreamworld. They’re not looking”

    The dissertation on purpose, fear and death. Flawless editing. Incredible acting. Minimalism at its finest

  • Rumble Fish

    Rumble Fish

    ★★★★

    “Time is a very peculiar item. See, when you’re young, when you’re a kid, you got nothing but time. A couple of years here, a couple of years there. It doesn’t matter, you know? The older you get you say: Jesus, how much time do I have? I’ve got 35 summers left. Think about it. 35 summers”

    The level of cinematography is off the charts excellent. 
    1982’s One from the heart = Technical Color Masterclass 
    1983’s Rumble Fish = Technical Black and White Masterclass
    It’s a damn shame the score and soundtrack are as weak as they are

    “Why do I have to die? I’m a genius”

    Rules? Fuck ‘em. If this isn’t punk then I don’t know what is. Incredible camera work and editing. Unadulterated unhinged chaos!

    “Where is Yaur-gi?”

    Imagine being stuck in a world where Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs and Big Trouble in Little China collide and it’s filled with paper mache, nylons, ropes, costumes, smoke machines, weird sounds and, of course, martial arts. This one is a Banger of DIY artistry from Taiwan and deserves to be filed under the “So bad it’s good” folder. Chef’s kiss!
