I haven’t been so enthralled by a work of young-adult fantasy since the Narnia books. Just… wow.

WORTH CONSUMING!
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I rented “A Streetcar Named Desire”. I didn’t know anything about the story, I just had vague associations about Marlon Brando being a hearthrob. I guess I figured it was some kind of romance, possibly a musical, what with the the goofy name.
What I definitely didn’t expect was this bleak, wrenching, noirish film. Which is not to say that I didn’t like it. I could barely look away. Wow. What an intense movie.

Turns out men (for the most part) are randy bastards, and women (for the most part) aren’t. Who knew?

NOT WORTH CONSUMING
In this movie which almost wasn’t a Batman ripoff, Ben Affleck almost wasn’t irritating and I almost cared.
Not Really a Review: Wings of Desire — 2 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
God I love Wim Wenders. This is not a very accessible movie; it’s deeply into art-house territory. But if you have the patience for it it’s a beautiful meditation on the city of Berlin.
Wenders’ unique focus on music is in full effect here. Where other directors use nightclub scenes as backdrop, Wenders puts us front-row at a Nick Cave concert in a cramped Berlin club, and lets the characters do what real people do at a concert… close their eyes and get into the music.
I can’t bring myself to write a proper review… if you like sympathetic meditations on cities, people, and human details, then see this movie. It’s as simple as that.
