  1. Bogat mesec, ni kaj. Jaz sem komaj prilezel do številke 38.

    V bistvu me je najbolj presenetila ocena za A Single Shot. Aktualen že nekaj časa, a ne vem zakaj še nisem posegel po njem. Zdaj sem že zelo firbčen. Kmalu na sporedu.

    Blue Caprice, novi Kim Ki-Duk, novi Mendoza in Morilec Simon - še nisem videl, vsi z visoko prioriteto.
    Tudi zame je Ruben Genz (videl že nekaj časa nazaj) rahlo razočaranje.

    Vzhod mi ni bil nič posebnega, tudi Kralji poletja ne, WWZ in Now You See Me -nekako podobno (vsi šibka trojka).

    Malce več pričakoval od Ime mi je Li, a še vedno soliden (BTW zanič eng. podnapisi)

    Prekrokana noč 3 -pričakoval nič - nekaj malega vseeno dobil.

    Tega Elvisa nisem imel v planu (mal me gre na živce vse to okoli Kinga), že dodan na seznam.

  2. Ja, sem bil priden. Mogoče se tako niti ne zdi, bi pa vseeno rad poudaril, da so vsi ti filmi izbrani z razlogom oz. je prav vsak izmed njih ob sebi imel nekaj, s čimer je pritegnil mojo pozornost ter me navsezadnje tudi zvabil k ogledu.

    Last Elvis mi je od vseh najljubši. Glasba kralja paše kot country v Broken Circle + odličen glavni igralec (spomin na Wrestlerja Rourka) kot odlični imitator. Uf, pa kamera … že prvi kader …

    Blue Caprice, Simon Killer in A Single Shot so si po formi in počasnem tempu zelo podobni. Če ti bo všeč eden, ti bodo všeč mogoče vsi (vsi imajo razmeroma nizko oceno na imdb-ju). Gre za odlično študijo karakterjev – pri vseh treh likih pa prevladujejo negativne lastnosti človeškega značaja.

    Moebius me je spominjal na moj film Zaključna dela – gre za film brez dialoga, ki se na trenutke sicer odvija, a je v teh trenutkih kamera »skrita« za steklom oz. je govor nerazumljiv. Še bolj pa je podobnost v glasbi (je ni), ki ne manipulira in ne narekuje razpoloženja – le surov okoliški zvok. Sam sem tako zdržal le 15 minut, Kim pa kar 90 minut. Respect!

    The East mi je všeč že zaradi Brit in z vsem, kar je do sedaj ustvarila.

    Ruben Genz je ogromno razočaranje, nekoliko manjše tudi Kralji poletja.

    Bolj kot film, me je razočaral človek – Ramin Bahrani in njegov At Any price, podobno na slabše je šlo z Morissonom (Junebog/All is Bright), Mayerom (Adam/ As Cool as I Am) ter z eksperimentom Verhoevna. Da o Almodovarju niti ne začnem …

    Opozoril še bi na Greetings from Tim Buckley, če ti Jeff Buckley (bil) všeč, se pa zgodba dogaja pred klasiko Grace.

  3. Meni je bil všeč The Bling Ring ;)
