Jake Gittes Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The Wachowskis directed the slave ship story in CA and the two set in the future. Tykwer directed stories 2, 3 and 4.Also, speaking as a fan of Killing Them Softly, it would have been unbearable with a 150-minute runtime. It's an angry, aggressive and intense little movie, and it worked perfectly being a 95-minute ball of energy. Add even 5 minutes to it and it'd be needless fat.

I just didn't find the story or the man it was about very interesting or captivating. It was a well made film, but it left me cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I never thought the best thriller of last year would be a documentary. The Imposter proved me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Searching for Sugar Man is very good too. Been listening regularly to Rodriguez's stuff ever since I saw it, hopefully as many people discover him now as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Have yet to see Django, ZDT and The Master. But Denis Lavant would win Best Actor from me no matter what.And Nina Hoss would win Best Actress for BARBARA. Can't believe I forgot about her. Some of the finest subtle acting I've ever seen.
