  • The Bitter Buddha 2013

    ★★★★ Watched 19 Feb, 2013

    The movie's probably a bit slight, but it still brings some attention to and sheds some light on one of the best comedians working at the moment.

  • Amour 2012

    ★★★★½ Watched 17 Feb, 2013

    The film covers mostly the smaller moments of life, the minutiae of existence, and slowly builds itself into something more powerful as the lives of our protagonists evolve. Great, great film.

  • I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK 2007

    ★★★★½ Watched 12 Nov, 2012

    Like a Korean Wes Anderson film. That thought didn't occur to me until one of the final (well-composed) shots but now I can't unthink it.

    Fun visuals, fun characters, fun editing, fun dialog, fun setting. This was by no means a perfect film but I didn't stop smiling once so I'd have trouble faulting it.

    Most of the characters are absolute caricatures of mental illness but I still loved the way it was handled and how bizarre the whole thing felt. The way the doctors were all the crazy ones, and the patients just needed different socks so they could fly away in the night time.

    Brandon, I don't mean to be a cunt.
