Tarsem Singh's 2006 "The Fall" is worth
watching just for the visuals. The black and white intro is particularly
beautiful and obviously inspired by Tarkovsky. (Maybe I just see
Tarkovsky everywhere.) Catinca Untaru is also extremely adorable.
The film blends reality with fantasy in interesting ways. Sometimes
it's a bit much and a bit melodramatic, but seriously the visuals is
where it's at!
John Woo's 1996 "Broken Arrow" is a childhood
favorite of mine. It's been awhile since I've seen it, and it's probably
not very good overall. But if you're looking for some pretty
spectacular explosions from Woo, look no further. I don't think I'll
ever get the image of John Travolta's character bashing in somebody's
trachea out of my mind. Ouch! Dead. Check it out. It's Woo's second
English-language movie!
