The Dance Of Reality (2013) ****

Image
Viewing #2 of The Dance Of Reality  (2013). I still hold to my comments after my first viewing: Another indescribable, mind-boggling, thought-provoking, beautiful and gruesome, poetic and unique film from  Jodo . None of his films are easy to digest and many may not know how to react to them. I'm glad that there are still some filmmakers making strange and deeply personal cinema out there.

Inherent Vice   (2014) is   The Big Lebowski  (1998) meets Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas   (1998). I tried my best to follow the plot and still got confused but I think that's the point. And I laughed a lot.

Happy 4th Birthday, Blog!

My blog  is 4  years old today! Continuing the yearly trend, here's how many films I've watched: 2005  -  339  (that's a lot of films!) 2006  -  369  (wow, more films than days in the year!!) 2007  -  274  (quite the jump down!) 2008  -  270  (very similar to  2007 ) 2009  -  234  (steadily declining) 2010  -  188   (whoa, BIG drop) 2011  -   236  (back up from  2010  and on par with  2009 )  2012  - 253 (steadily climbing back up!) 2013  - 352 (damn, second most, after 2006, since I started keeping track and almost 100 more than last year!) 2014 - 347 (didn't quite meet last year's track record) I thought this year that it would be interesting to actually post all the films I watched here as well.
