    Theatrical troupe wracked by the tides of history probably my favorite film genre

    Sci fi shouldn't be slow. The excitement is supposed to be in the density of ideas and things to look at. Instead here we get ryan gosling staring at a tree.

    Miami Vice

    Michael Mann is the master of using shitty rock songs to tremendous effect. You wonder if he really likes chris cornell that much or its the extreme hipster post modernism of someone who understands that good taste has nothing to do with good art

    the digital photography has some kind of brechtian distancing effect... its miami vice, you expect it to be beautiful, instead you get this cold filtered access to an unnerving dream

  • Downfall

    Downfall

    Kind of a ponderous melodrama, but as you may know the source material is strong
