P.T.A. Mashup Video

I came across this gem a la Jeffrey Wells’ Hollywood Elsewhere. It’s a compilation/tribute video showcasing Paul Thomas Anderson’s five films. The video is no ordinary tween fan-made mess, though. It appears that the person who made it actually has some considerable editing skill and they do a great job of looking at the themes Anderson addresses in his films.

But, as one of my friends mentioned, it’s missing a key line of dialogue at the end. If you’ve seen There Will Be Blood, you’ll immediately know what it is.

In The City of Sylvia - this is a beautiful French-Spanish co-production that writes the book on people-watching. 98.2% of the world would call it the most boring film they've ever seen, but I think its one of the most beautiful.

The Dark Knight - the best movie you're likely to see in a local cineplex this year. See it and savor it multiple times. This is genuinely great American mythmaking.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - I watched this last summer and haven't gotten it out of my head since. Dark, a bit repulsive, but rife with a beauty that makes my heart ache like nothing I've ever come in contact with.

WALL•E - Pixar rises above any other animation workshop. It may not be a masterpiece like Ratatouille, but its darn good. The first 20 minutes are pure Chaplin-esque cinematic goodness.

Encounters At the End of the World - Werner Herzog's new documentary may as well be his treatise on why he makes movies in the first place. All of his beautifully strange compulsions are on display here as he goes to the far corner of the world to find people as devoted to discovering the wondrous and the odd as he is.

Also, August is Film Noir month over a MovieZeal. I'm reviewing three Billy Wilder films for it: Double Indemnity (August 3), Sunset Boulevard (August 18), and Ace In The Hole (August 22).

Ephesians - what is quickly becoming my very favorite book of the New Testament. There's a richness in every single word.

Notes From Underground - Dostoevsky writing as a depraved existentialist reminds me a lot of C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters. I can only handle so much of this, though ... it makes me want to hurt small animals.

American Movie Critics - a great anthology of film criticism since the very beginning.

Sculpting In Time - I always keep Tarkovsky's book with me when I need to be reminded of what art actually is. His words are empowering.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - are you seeing a trend? I thought it was a masterpiece the first time I read it. I've probably read it about six times now and my opinion hasn't changed. I find myself collecting copies of this book like Mel Gibson's character in Conspiracy Theory collects The Catcher In The Rye.
