I saw Moon recently. strange movie, but I liked it alot

yes, fantastic really. Duncan Jones is David Bowie's son, so that might explain a lot. just finished watching his second full-length titled Source Code with Jake Gyllenhaal and it is pretty awesome as well.

Holy Mountain 1973 - Dir. Jodorosky

look for the recent recolored/mastered version

beyond the black rainbow looks awesome !

anything else in that vein?

[deccard]

reviews of beyond the black rainbow doesnt sound so promising. we´ll see.
just watched phase iv again on teh weekend.


@android: have you seen valhalla rising?
dont get misguided by the trailer. aint much action in that movie. very calm and exceptional film with beautiful landscape shots.

watched the KLITSCHKO documentary last weekend..

i gotta say it was pretty awesome, had goosebumps several times during the movie

[Dardis]

Just finished watching Infernal Affairs again, which is amazing. Scorsese did a Hollywood remake (the Departed), but the Hong Kong original beats that hands down.
