Movies

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This weekend was all about the cinema. American Visa, Gol!, Thumbsucker, Au Hasard Balthazar, Cecil B. Demented, Home For The Holidays and Corpse Bride.

Thumbsucker sucker is awesome, great performances all around and a beautiful Elliot Smith filled soundtrack.

Home For The Holidays it has to be one of the warmest film i've ever seen. I saw it in NYC, 10 years ago exactly and it still blows me away. Anne Bancroft was one of the greatest.

Au Hasard Balthazar is very beautiful, deep and moving film. From a nice synopsis "A profound masterpiece from one of the most revered filmmakers in the history of cinema, director Robert Bresson’s Au hasard Balthazar follows the donkey Balthazar as he is passed from owner to owner, some kind and some cruel but all with motivations beyond his understanding. Balthazar, whose life parallels that of his first keeper, Marie, is truly a beast of burden, suffering the sins of man. But despite his powerlessness, he accepts his fate nobly. Through Bresson’s unconventional approach to composition, sound, and narrative, this seemingly simple story becomes a moving parable of purity and transcendence."

Corpse Bride is simply stunning. Brilliant.

And Cecil B. Demented rocked, like any other John Waters film... hahaha!!! :P
