Movies Seen 1st Week of October

October 3rd: "Trouble the Water", Carl Deal & Tia Lessin (2008).
Powerful documentary about the first-hand experience of a black family of the 9nth Ward in New Orleans before, during and after the Katrina hurricane landfall in 2005.

Ocotber 4th: "Black Narcissus", Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburguer (1947).
Superb Technicolor dream about morality, lust and power in a convent in the high mountains of India. The convent is the stuff of which old colonial adventures are made, the matte paintings are art, the last 20 minutes are chilling, everything is exact, beautiful and meaningful.

Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Michael Bay

"I don't know what is going on, but we gotta move". That phrase, uttered late into this succession of images, defines its content.  In other scenes the characters also express in this manner what the viewer is exactly thinking.  At that point in the movie, I was thinking that I should simply go, after all "Transformers 2" doesn't need me or anyone else.  Do not watch this film (if you want to because of Megan Fox, I suggest you to watch some random porn clip from the Internet instead).

I could do a shot-by shot analysis of it (I cannot use the word film, picture, or movie) to show you the intrinsic amorality of Michael Bay's brain, but my time is worth something.  At least Bay does not have a political position of power over any kind of army.  

Movies watched

"Greek" (series), season 1 and season 2. Mindless fun.

"Boy A" (2008), John Crowley, UK. (7/10).
