Out of :star::star::star::star::star:

Timecode :star::star::star: - Not especially exciting, but an interesting bit of experimental filmmaking. Far better than Russian Ark and preceeded it by a few years.

Leaving Las Vegas :star::star::star::star::star: - One of the best movies of the 90s.

Liebestraum :star::star::star:1/2 - Weird and dark, but not entirely smooth running. Has what must be the longest urination scene ever put on film. Pamela Gidley, yow!

Internal Affairs :star::star::star: - Decent corrupt cop flick.

1. Miss Julie - A (A Strindberg play that Bergman directed for the theater 2-3 times. Love what Figgis did here with all handheld work)
2. Leaving Las Vegas - B
3. Time Code - C+ (about a 10th of the film Russian Ark is)
4. Hotel - D

Own: 0

Would like to see his remake of The Browning Version. The original is fantastic.

 

[Martin Teller]

Leaving Las Vegas (1995) - 6/10

Made it through about 30 minutes of Loss of Sexual Innocence... absolutely horrible.
