Road to Perdition is not much of an original story but director Sam Mendez makes it interesting to watch. He uses color nicely (i.e. sepia tones in this case) and is very original in some of his camera work. Nice music, too. He's the guy who directed (wrote, too, I think) American Beauty which won several Oscars a few years back.

Enigma is centered around WWII but is not about the fighting, It is about about the code breaking machine. The story has intrigue and the writing is very good, imo. Saffron Burrows is sure easy on the eyes. It's a good one. Think I may even buy it. Saw it about a week ago for the 3rd time. Recommend it, yessir.

Oh that's some snooty stuff.

Sunrise is a personal fave and I don't understand how it is not as revered as Citizen Kane or at least close.
Potemkin. Sharp angled commie mess. The shot in the eye IS pretty sweet though. Seen one Eisenstein, seen 'em all.
French movie about a chick and a donkey. Pass.
Singin' In the Rain. Fun.
Hm, never heard of this Dreyer. I am a fan of his Joan of Ark. Pissed the Blu Ray is international only.
Rublev aka 4 hours of my life I will never get back. Stalker and Nostalghia made up for it. Barely.
Don't think I've seen The General. Will have to check it out.
I was too young to appreciate Satyajit Ray in school, maybe it's time I revisit. Hope there's a blu ray.
Godard. Whatever.

RTP has some of the best cinematography of the past twenty five years. Done by none other than the legendary Conrad Hall.

I have been watching The Hour with my free month on Netflix. I am really enjoying this series. It is what The Newsroom could have been with some suspense thrown in for good measure... Recommended.

My main squeeze got me the complete series of HBO's The Wire for Christmas. I'll be watching the first episode tonite.

Thanks for highlighting the cinematography and Conrad Hall for The Road To Perdition, Wushuliu. It is beautifully done. The highlight for me, in fact.
