My kind of film, about two hurting people who accidentally meet and wander around the streets of London.....kind of like a dark "Before Sunrise." He, a troubadour, she, a bartender looking to start anew. Sprinkled with some nice songs and heartfelt feelings. Forget about action or comedy, it's human drama with a lot of what people do....talking. This really is what an indie film is supposed to be about, in my opinion, looking inside human beings. Also neat, the couple slow dances to a tune from an IPod kind of thing, with earphones in each of their ears. As for the acting, they do come across as real and so does the entire film.

Entry Level

Not bad!

Not bad. A likable comedy with likable characters. You don't have to look very hard and it does also have a message.....a nice kind of message. I don't know why IMDb requires 10 lines in a review, especially when films like this really don't require that much. So, that is my review - a film that doesn't need a lot of commentary. OK, a guy likes to cook, but his restaurant doesn't make enough money to survive....so he looks for a job...any entry level job in what he thinks is what society expects of him.....and in the process meets a lot of people who just happen to like him and the food he gets a kick out of making for them. So, that's about it and you can probably guess the rest.
Pi
(1998)
Unforgettable!
21 August 2011
Whether one likes the film, "Pi", or not, one will simply not forget it. A super math geek, Max Cohen, finding patterns in everything, looks to use math to figure out the stock market. In the process, he is confronted by Wall Street people and Kabbalists who look to take advantage of his genius for their own purposes. Whether the universe is governed by pattern or chaos, is what drives the film. Max is symbolic of this, in that he is seeking order, while heading on a path to pure personal chaos, insanity. The film weaves interesting black and white cinematography, a pulsating soundtrack, and an excellent acting performance by Sean Gullette as Max, into a film which does make a viewer at least contemplate some pretty important things.
