the editing and cinematography could be a little tighter, but I like the concept and execution.

Very interesting piece of cinematography but unfortunately a *dupeof http://videosift.com/video/The-Nazi-Time-Traveler

amazing cinematography

Taking a gander at his filmography, Cronenberg has made a career out of making very cold-looking films. I'm not sure if it's the cinematography or if it's something else entirely like his storytelling style.

Far as DPs go, he had Mark Irwin for The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, Dead Zone, and The Fly which are the main five "chilly" films I'm talking about. He then had Peter Suschitzky for all the rest, which weren't exactly warm looking either. Cronenberg doesn't have a big photography background like Kubrick so...I dunno. He must have a very clear vision from the git-go.

That was really well done. Smooth, realistic weapon drills; good acting; good cinematography and planning to get all that action in a single shot. Plus Eliza Dushku. I wish I could upvote again

Brilliant cinematography

You're not going to get any votes out of me by appealing to my dong.

Any upvotes are solely due to the excellent cinematography.

I Lurve the Coens. Great characters, intelligent writing, superb direction, inspired cinematography, great career defining performances. Their only real stinker was Ladykillers. The most underrated Coen production was Hudsucker Proxy.

Coens (plus) Western = Awesome

I'd love to see them make a horror film.

Uhhhh, you lost me, Penn. And lose that stupid hand camera... what were you thinking?


No offense (which really means I have ever intention of offending), but if he "lost you", then maybe you need to watch it again and pay attention to what he says. What he said was pretty clear and makes sense. Try listening to his opinions, as the show isn't about the camera work or cinematography. I hate it when people try to undermine someone on a nonsensical point while ignoring the substance at hand. Rather than judging him on the content (what he said), which you missed because apparently you were unable to keep up or understand his point, you attack the way in which it's filmed. This is a weak way to argue.

Seth said something along the lines of: The tea party people want what is against their own self interest, making them corporate puppets. He then said, what they [the tea party] want would be good for him, as in Seth's own self interests. In saying that, while saying he disagrees with the tea party movement, he's doing exactly as he claims the tea movement is doing. Despite the fact that movement would serve his own self interest, he's disagreeing with them/against them...therefore what he is for is against his own self interests.

Get it? He's doing the same thing he claims the tea party people are doing, but calling them puppets for it. If this was Back to the Future, he'd have created a paradox and destroyed the universe.

That was just stunning, I'd promote it if I could. Beautiful cinematography

Most people love The Sixth Sense, including me.

Unbreakable is my favorite movie. I love the dialog, the cinematography, the cues and foreshadowing, the characters, the score...

I thought Signs was a good story that didn't translate well to movie. He should not have that much screen time, either.

I do enjoy The Village but the 'twist' seemed forced. It could have all been tied together better, somehow.

Lady in the Water was entertaining. No twist and a bit odd, but still enjoyable.

I haven't seen The Happening because it doesn't interest me but I'm amazed at how many people complain that it was a cheesy b-movie. That was the whole point. It was marketed as a corny horror flick right from the get-go.

I also haven't seen Avatar because I don't give a shit. If anything, I was disappointed to see M working on such a film.

fuggin wow! I wasn't expecting it to be that good. It was pitch perfect...That was beautifully dark. I was drawn in immediately. The cinematography was extremely haunting...

I have to defend Gangs of New York since to me that was hardly a nothing film. It had the quality of a period piece to where you felt like you were IN mid 19th century New York. Perhaps the movie was a bit longer than it needed to be but after re-watching it again recently I feel that it is up to the Scorsese standard. I do have difficulty remembering Eyes Wide Shut, and the only time I saw it was when it was originally in theaters.

Unfortunately I also lack the fortune of having seen either Goodfellas *or* Casino on the Scorsese side which makes for rather awkward conversations with the rest of the world who has. Same thing for Spartacus or Paths of Glory.

I did, however, watch Barry Lyndon for the first time just a few days ago. Now that is some damn fine cinematography. I know they used special f/0.9 lenses for the candlelight scenes, and it shows.

Upvote for the beautiful selection of music for the montage

I was skeptical at first, but the trailer won me over by the end. The cast, cinematography and action all seem above average, so it could work.

I admit I'm getting weary of the silly, over the top, grimdark, ultra-violence of comic book movies like Sin City, 300 and Watchmen. And this seems to be very much in the same vein. But then again that's perfect for the franchise; it was senseless that the previous movies went for the adolescent friendly PG-13 rating.

To me, their complete overhaul of the story and setting is less of an issue. Everything that was interesting about original setting, with out-world and elder gods, has been driven into the ground or ruined by the games past MK2. And honestly, the MK franchise is not really a hit with the kids today, so most nostalgic fans will be in their 20s or 30s now.

Fantastic *quality of cinematography and music. Perhaps a bit heavy-handed on the message, but maybe that's what's needed...
