Celluloid Notes - what are you watching?

Celluloid Notes - November 2007

Dog Bite Dog

dog bite dog

I recently reviewed the Hong Kong action film Dog Bite Dog for Film-Forward and thought I'd post the link to the review here. It's kind of an interesting film, beautiful cinematography, a wonderful commentary track on the DVD. The last half of the film could have been done by Edward Wood, but it's worth checking out. I'm a jerk so I'm self-promoting my (slightly edited) review here. The trailer is embedded below, the trailer doesn't do the film justice and the last 45 minutes of the films don't do the first 75 justice. But it's worth checking out if you're already waded the depths of recent film and like the sort of ultra-violent, color saturated thrillers of Japanese and South Korean cinema.

F for Fake, P for Pretentious or Orson Welles ages like a badger

As I was watching F for Fake last night (an absolutely brilliant film) we began discussing how he was pretty much universally panned throughout the later parts of his career, but he remained as innovative and brilliant as he was from the beginning. the virtuosic editing in F for Fake is still unparalleled. But what we really began discussing, and my subject here, is his commercials. He did those awful Paul Mason commercials and then began doing commercials for peas (just before he was the voice of the evil planet on the Transformers Movie the year he died). But I found an audio file of him bashing the writers during one of these commercials and couldn't help but post it... and a parody from the critic, which was how we got on the subject in the first place...god bless YouTube and people with piles of spare time.

Dustin never posts, but here's a SiCKO review

micheal moore, sicko


Here's a link to my SiCKO review at Film-Forward. -> SiCKO

I'd put it on here, but I don't think that's really allowed, so it's just a link.

I'm kind of trying to post more often...but not really...I've got an online magazine that is debuting Dec. 3rd so I've no time between doing mag articles and designing and editing the site to do much posting...but check back I'll keep posting...
