The true story of FBI agent Joe Pistone, who in the late 70s infiltrated his way into the New York mafia to become a "made man" under the name of Donnie Brasco, Depp is surprisingly believable as an earnest father caught up in the mob mentality. Pacino shines as always, though it's not his usual character; here he's a tragic King Lear who just can't catch a break. But as for the iffy pan-and-scan job on the videotape, take a cue from the wiseguys: Fuggedaboudit.

Excellent flick, one of my favorites! "Fuggedabout it, it's a fuckin fugazzi!" "I'm not takin my shoes off fo no one, especially some cocksuckin jap"

I liked the first one as a Johnny Depp vehicle. But 2.... man... that was Hollywood behaving safely if I've ever seen it. It was so tame it might as well have been dead. Actually, it was.

Would you believe that I actually have not seen a movie in like two weeks? (aside from the obligatory watching at work) Nothing has struck me to even watch for quite a bit now.

I saw Talledega Nights last night. Dumb but funny. I laughed a lot.

Buffalo '66 [1998]

Get it straight - Vincent Gallo doesn't give a fuck what you think about his movie. It's brilliant, and if you can't see that then it's your own tough luck. He's so fiercely independent he uses Yes on the soundtrack. And you know what? He's absolutely right. This film is a mini masterpiece. Using only a small but highly talented crew and cast, he bombards us with belligerent, unlikeable characters for 100-odd minutes, and manages to make the most saccharine of endings - about the power of love, of all things - appetising. A beautifully balanced debut from a precocious talent - surely what indie is all about?

The movie i looked last night:
Blood Feast [1963]
Without Herschell Gordon Lewis' low budget gore-fest, there would be no Halloween, no Evil Dead et al, and basically half of the '80s video industry would be missing. This no-budget effort was the birth of splatter. In fact, it's fair to say that with his entrail packed (however loosely) exploitationer, marketing guru Lewis opened the abattoir doors for 'meat content' in films generally – and that includes the likes of ear severing, and faces melting before the wrath of God. Even if you leave the gore aside, the film raked in $4 million from a budget of $24,500. Impressive by any studio outsider's standards.

"You Me and Everyone we Know" - I'd never heard of it, picked up from Blockbuster at random. Very nice, quirky little indie.

And the lead actress is beyond cute.

The 24th Day_Tony Piccirillo [2004]

This movie was one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. It is intense it's a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. And the movie is also impossible to predict what will happen. I not giving out the storyline because this is a movie that everyone needs to see. And another thing is when you seen it you will have 1 question on your mind. [The question will be] What would you due if one day your entire life as you knew it comes to a crashing end? Thats all I'm giving out!

Just seen again:
Shallow Grave [1994]
A wave of hype followed this thriller, almost swamping it under proclamations that the British were coming, that Scotland was sexy, that Ewan McGregor might do well for himself. Well, that's all true - but there's more to Shallow Grave than a (temporary) reinvigoration of British cinema. Danny Boyle's immensely stylish tale of dead bodies, a suitcase full of money and rampant paranoia is an inspired blend of pitch-black comedy and bloody violence, held together by career-making performances and scathing wit. Three central characters this flawed are a rare sight in American cinema - even in the independent sector - which, along with the sheer panache of this film, make it still a must-see, more than once.

I feel guilty about this but *whisper* I actually quite enjoyed it. It was far too long (like the 1st one) and i was really bored by the end, but Johnny Depp was really watchable and i thought Davy Jones was fantastic. It is total mindless hollywood filmmaking, but i got some fun out of it.

The "ending" was unforgivable though.

Dr. Strangelove. I really liked it. Especially Peter Seller's portrayl of Captan Mandrake.

Incidentally, I think Peter Sellers is one of the great comic genius's of the past century. I loved his role in the Pink Panther movies.

Idiocracy: the new film from Mike Judge

this is the next cult movie guys; hilarious yet unsettling, a parody of what American Society is becoming.
