I don't have much use for the term, along with 'pretentious', but I would say a movie characterized as such has good visuals and virtuostic handling of cinematic devices and 'tricks', with less of a fleshed out and complex plot.

Will watch Amour next tuesday.
Amour was an incredible film, but I never ever ever want to watch it again. Absolutely gutwrenchingly bleak. |

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - This is my favorite Bogart film. He is more dynamic and flawed here than in his usual noir tough-guy roles. Though Casablanca may be a better film, I prefer this one.
Ever see 'In A Lonely Place'? Brilliant and less well known. I love the story behind it, too. Guy is told to write a screenplay based on a popular pulpy trash novel, and instead of doing so he makes the protagonist a screenwriter who's paid to write a screenplay about a popular pulpy trash novel, and instead of doing that he goes on to write a screenplay about people. |

This latest episode of GoT has seriously got me feeling down on life, I should have stopped at episode 8

Amour was an incredible film, but I never ever ever want to watch it again. Absolutely gutwrenchingly bleak. haneke is a very good filmmaker but watching his films you kinda get the impression that he hates everyone. i'm also not a big fan of the harshly moralistic overtones of his work. |

Recently saw the Shawshank redemption for the first time. It's kind of sad how far back video games are in terms of narration.

I watched the anime Mind Game, by the guys who made Tekkonkinkreet. Damn good film, so surreal and dreamy.

Two weeks ago I watched original Django and today Tarantino's Django Unchained. Have to say that the both movies were really good! Though personally I think that the old spaghetti-westerns have their very own charm which Unchained didn't have.

Just saw star trek into darkness
I thought that the scenario lacked a bit of depth
Didn't like the reference( with a twist) to star trek 2, found it too cheesy/nerdy
Pro:the evil-nietszchean-superhuman archetype is satisfyingly depicted, not just a piñata ,another good role model for my collection

Finished Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" again. It's been too many years since I last saw it.

aguirre is one of my favorite movies. there's something about filmmaking in the 60s to early 70s that i find really exciting.

It's not any worse than it was before, but it's not for everyone. |
