Pink Floyd The Wall - 1982 - Alan Parker
July 21, 2008 · No Comments
I guess it’s the fallout of the vanity project that struck the 60s/70s super groups. Simply egostrokin’, proving that they can do it better than The Song Remains the Same, Sympathy For The Devil, and the appalling Tommy. Just another long music video, with a point (possibly) that escapes me. Brian Murray

Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead - 2007 - Sidney Lumet
July 16, 2008 · No Comments
Families can save you or break you. Lumet’s classic (in every sense of the word) about two dysfunctional brothers, played brilliantly by Philip Seymour Hoffman and Ethan Hawke, who go to extraordinary and violent lengths to rescue their sorry-ass lives by robbing from their parents. A Shakespearean masterpiece. JJ

There Will be Blood - 2007 - Paul Thomas Anderson
July 8, 2008 · 1 Comment
A charismatic but solitary oil tycoon uses his adopted son to charm his way to success. Underneath his professionalism, Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) is a madman and a ruthless opportunist. Day-Lewis’ execution is off the charts, it’s hard to discern if he’s evil or just a tortured soul – something a more prominent sub-plot could have shed light on. Cristina Pittelli
Piety meets the pipeline in this epic tale of oil, greed and false prophets. Daniel Day Lewis is hypnotic as an entrepreneurial ‘oil lord’ – his voice, his ruthlessness, his unnerving grin and manic tendencies. The lesson to be learned; oil men are mad men. JJ
