My Year In Movies #101: X-Files: Fight The Future
This movie… eh. It doesn’t hold up as well as I thought it would. That’s true of the majority of the series though, I suppose.
Another thing: how the HELL did the show continue after this? Because, honestly, there’s no way to top it. It is the most X-Files-iest thing ever made. They should have just left off the series after this, and been like “Welp, that’s...

My Year In Movies #100: Exit Through The Giftshop
I am saying nothing about this movie, other than that it is brilliant and you should see it. You need to go in with zero preconceived notions or ideas on what it is or what it’s about. It’s about art. That’s all you need to know. SEE IT.

My Year In Movies #99: Fallen Angels
A film by Wong Kar-Wai, Fallen Angels acts a prequel of sorts to his Chungking Express. Centered on the lives of a few people on the fringe of legality in Hong Kong, it is exquisitely shot and written, with much of what happens being told through voice over and facial expression and body language. The majority of the film is shot hand-held, and with wide angle lenses, which puts the audience in...

My Year In Movies #98: How I Won The War
I’d only ever heard of this film due to John Lennon’s involvement in it. (He filmed this, while still in the Beatles, for Richard Lester, who directed A Hard Day’s Night.) As such, I was entirely unprepared for what it eventually showed itself to be: a batshit insane satire on war and British attitudes and approach to same. Using different colors to depict scenes of actual...

My Year In Movies #97: Objectified
A documentary on the relationship between design and consumer object, the film is fascinating to those interested in the subject matter, and delves into the relation between object and memory, design and beauty. Different designers from around the world go into their thought processes and ways of working with material to bring out how they view the every day objects that we all use without even...

My Year In Movies #96: The Untouchables
This is a manly goddamn movie.
I haven’t sat down and watched the whole thing for quite some time, and really, this movie is just goddamn GOOD. There’s an epicness to it, and Brian De Palma’s direction just exemplifies the operatic sweep of David Mamet’s EXTREMELY quotable script. (I love ending statements with “Here endeth the lesson,” which comes directly...

My Year In Movies #95: I Am Trying To Break Your...
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is one of my favorite albums, so it’s pretty much a given that I’d be interested in seeing this film. The majority of the information in it is nothing new, as I was familiar with the goings-on surrounding the recording and release of the album, but I was watching more for the fly-on-the-wall scenes of the band in studio, of Jeff Tweedy in interviews and meet and...

My Year In Movies #94: The Goods: Live Hard, Sell...
An utterly inconsequential film. There were a few good laughs, and it was not by any means terrible, but there’s nothing there to grab on to. The plot itself was predictable right down to the various subplots within the first 20 minutes, and I can’t even remember most of the things I thought were funny in the moment. You could do worse in terms of comedy, but you could do way better...
