Amadeus (1984)
Originally posted on Filmosophy.
Milos Forman’s Ma Non Troppo Vivace
Although Amadeus isn’t ostensibly a holiday movie, I can’t seem to pass through this time of year without an urge to settle in with a hot chocolate and watch it. I remember first seeing this film with my mother when I was very young at a small theater [...]

Donnie Darko (2001)
Written for Filmosophy:

Symbols
I finally got around to watching the movie Michael Clayton. In the beginning of the movie, George Clooney’s character gets out of his car because he sees three horses in the distance standing together on a hill. They seem to recall something inconceivable to him: an illustration from a book that his colleague [...]
Where the Wild Things Are
I know I’m not the only one who is excited to see this film. For the hardcore fanatics, there is now a free Where the Wild Things Are iPhone Application.
On a related note, this is a pretty amazing effort at a fairly uncoverable song. Smoky and sleepy, like waking between the sheets, lazing in [...]
