Very Quick Reviews of movies.

The Damned United: Michael Sheen is brilliant in this very fun, well made soccer movie which focuses on something most sports movies fail to show, which is cockiness and humiliation. See this.

The White Ribbon: Saw this at NYFF and i think it's a masterpiece. That is all.

Life During Wartime: Todd Solondz (Happiness, Welcome to the Dollhouse) new film. Not quite sure how i felt about this one yet. Acting was solid and the script was very well written. But the verdict is still out!

NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL REVIEW: LEBANON

NYFF: LEBANON

Similar to last year's Waltz with Bashir,Samuel Maoz's debut feature film, shows the opening days of the 1982 Lebanese-Israeli war from the view of 4 soldiers in a tank. What is amazing about the film is that things never leave the tank and all outside action is viewed through the scopes and viewpoints of the Tank. Maoz based his screenplay on his own fears and reactions to the initial days of the war, and uses the tank as a metaphor for the situation. This is one of the most claustrophobic films I've ever seen. Visually and technically, This film is spectacular. However, the story and the most importantly the characters, aren't fully developed that it prevents the film from being one of the best film's of the year.

B

Anvil!

Just Watched the documentary Anvil! The Story Of Anvil, and it's a heartbreaking film. The film follows the heavy metal band that had a glimpse of fame in the early 80's but never quite reached what they could have and are still fighting for fame today. Check this one out now, it's out on video now!
