Hudson Hawk, 1991. I know this has a reputation of being crap however: If you ever want to see a film that is basically just an excuse for good one liners amongst a nonsense plot. This is for you. The (hip)one liners here, make it worth seeing, because this film does that so well. Says me at least.
Not to mention you get to have a scene where andie macdowell speaks dolphinish . Which is worth the price of admission alone. |

Mother! (2017) / Darren Aronofsky
Mother (Jennifer Lawrence) : *What* are you?
HIM (Javier Bardem): Me? I, am I. You? You were home.
Mother : Where are you taking me?
HIM : The beginning. [pause]
HIM : It won't hurt much longer.
Mother : What hurts me the most is that I wasn't enough.
HIM : It's not your fault. Nothing is ever enough. I couldn't create if it was. And I have to. That's what I do. That's what I am. And now I must try it all again.
Mother : No. Just let me go.
HIM : I need one last thing.
Mother : I have nothing left to give.
HIM : Your love. It's still there, isn't it? [pause]
Mother : Go ahead. Take it.
Interesting IMDb user review with SPOILERS (and interpretations):
Insane, beautiful, terrorizing, epic, puzzling, intoxicating, gross, masterful. (Spoilers)
Farshnoshket18 September 2017
Warning: Spoilers
First, I must laugh at all the reviews of people who had no idea what they were watching. We must all realize that all films are not written for all people who watch. Just as I usually do not go see cartoon films, others should give good thought before seeing such an 'artsy' film as Mother!. Hey, if you didn't like Black Swan, think more than twice on this one.
Observation:
There is a fire. Woman's face burning up. When cut to Javier holding a crystal. He places the crystal on a metal stand and we watch the house start healing itself, starting at that crystal. We cut to other parts of the house, as it heals, from fire back to normal. Eventually we cut to a bedroom where we see the bed healing itself and someone under the covers. She arises and it is Mother, played by Jennifer. Odd names for a film, right, but the names are never said in the film. We learn that Him is an accomplished poet, but it seems like he is going through some type of writer's block. Mother's mission is to refinish the house. A lot has been done, but there is always more work to do.
A man played by Ed Harris knocks at the door and Him greets the man and allows him to enter, almost happy someone else is in the house. The man is a doctor, but he smokes and drinks which causes him getting sick, fairly easily. It doesn't bother Him, but Mother is quite concerned.
Soon someone else arrives, a woman played by Michelle Pfeiffer. Turns out the woman is the man's wife. She's a feisty one played convincingly by Pfeiffer. Mother seems confused why Him allows these strangers to stay in their house. The woman doesn't hold anything back when she has a conversation with Mother. The woman asks why they don't have a baby? Mother is pretty taken back by how forward the woman is. This does not bother the drunk woman.
The man & woman seem to find a fascination with the crystal. Mother tells them not to touch it, but eventually they sneak in the room and break it into 100's of pieces. Him becomes enraged! Mother wants the man and woman to leave, but they don't and it's seems Mother is powerless. Mother goes to their room and they are having sex so she leaves. Even though Him is very upset he does not ask them to leave. Are you putting the pieces together? 2 more guests, 2 sons arrive. They fight, one becomes badly hurt & Him, the man & woman take him to the hospital, but Him comes back and tells Mother he died. Soon people start showing up, apparently for the funeral for the son and as more arrive things become chaotic. Every person seems to represent something different. The house becomes a disaster as everyone starts stealing everything!
After everyone leaves Him & Mother have a fight which turns into sex. After Mother says she is pregnant. Him then becomes inspired to write a new poem. He gives it to Mother to read. She cries and tells Him it is magnificent.
People start showing up again to praise Him for his poem. It is at this point things start to become totally chaotic. Let's just say lots of people show up and Aronofsky puts things in overdrive! The insanity on the screen is brilliant and here is why I believe this
Interpretation:
The film is basically an allegory our entire existence, and then some. Him is G*d. Mother is Mother Nature or as Him calls her, home. Him creates man and woman as Mother Nature creates everything around them. The Poem is the Bible. The house is the world. The man is Adam, the woman Eve. The sons Cain & Abel. We then basically witness an insane, quick review from Christ to present time (about 20 minutes), and then the demise of mankind. The film's use of the crystal represents the 'Apple'.
Conclusion:
When we look at this film in its entirety, taking 2 steps back, we see the film summarizes man's existence. The beginning of the film shows he tried before, but failed. Our existence, most of the film, also fails. At the end, we see Him try once again. G*d's dilemma is free will. Him only leads by verse (the Bible), but man's interpretation is what creates conflict, as everyone has their own interpretation, thus anarchy eventually occurs & eventually obliteration. Eden gets a restart, over & over again.
I find the film to be amazing in scope, like Cloud Atlas or A's The Fountain. Like I said earlier, if you don't appreciate films like these, or even Black Swan don't bother. It's simply not your brand. I feel the film is an amazing encapsulation of our existence performed in very unique fashion. The message here is strong. I prefer the avant-garde probably because I've seen so many films. I need to view films that present something new, and this one certainly does. For me, it is a masterpiece. Aren't artists allowed to target their audience? They all can't have happy endings. My 1000 words worth.

Requiem for a Dream (2000) / Darren Aronofsky
My survey of Aronofsky's films continues with this one. Like the other Aronfosky films, this one takes us on a dark journey, this time, through the devolution of drug addiction. Although this reminds me a bit of Danny Boyle's Trainspotting (1996), there is little humor to take us through the journey. Also, their is no warning how far it will go, and there is little warning that the fellow travelers should try to improve themselves and get loose of their habits.
Ellen Burstyn was nominated for her role as the Jewish mother of a teenager played by Jared Leto.
Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn) : I'm somebody now, Harry. Everybody likes me. Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. Remember? It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress. It's a reason to smile. It makes tomorrow all right. What have I got Harry, hm? Why should I even make the bed, or wash the dishes? I do them, but why should I? I'm alone. Your father's gone, you're gone. I got no one to care for. What have I got, Harry? I'm lonely. I'm old.
Harry Goldfarb (Jared Leto): You got friends, Ma.
Sara Goldfarb : Ah, it's not the same. They don't need me. I like the way I feel. I like thinking about the red dress and the television and you and your father. Now when I get the sun, I smile.

The Holly and the Ivy 1952 directed by George More O'Farrell and based on a play by Wynyard Browne. Starring Ralph Richardson, Celia Johnson, Margaret Leighton, Denholm Elliott, John Gregson and others. An English minister and his family reunited at Christmas time, both humorous and serious subjects will be aired. It felt refreshing to watch another sort of Christmas themed movie, since I'm fed up with cutesy and glitzy TV-movies that floods nearly all TV channels at the moment. Even if the Minister (Richardson) tries to hold his family together since he became a widow, it's not at all preachy, this Minister is very well aware that nobody cares about his Christmas mass, people only goes to church in cold weather to show off their status, and everybody just wishes that the mass is over so they can go home to their warmth of their fireplaces and eat good food. There is the daughter (Johnson) who takes care of her father, the other daughter (Leighton) who don't want to take care her of her father, a son (Elliott) who doesn't what to do with his life, a cousin, a friend of the family (Gregson) and two elderly aunts, both friendly but one is always negative while the other always looks at things in a positive manor. Except for a few carolers there are no kids in this movie. While it can't hide it's stage origins it's still a very worthwhile, feeling and touching movie that shouldn't be forgotten, even if some hard words will come up front before the movie ends. My only critique is that the ending feels a bit swift, nifty and too hasty when wrapping up it's story. For those who'd like to watch it (can't say if it works in all countries): ok.ru/video/1934081133236

The Fountain (2006) / Darren Aronofsky
This film is set as a modern doctor (and surgeon) is doing research on his wife's condition is seeking a way to cure her brain cancer. However, she teaches him that death is only a part of existence as the film goes back and forth in time:
Grand Inquisitor Silecio (Stephen McHattie) : Our bodies are prisons for our souls. Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul.
Izzi (Rachel Weisz) : Remember Moses Morales?
Tom Creo (Hugh Jackman) : Who?
Izzi : The Mayan guide I told you about.
Tom Creo : From your trip.
Izzi : Yeah. The last night I was with him, he told me about his father, who had died. Well Moses wouldn't believe it.
Tom Creo : Izzi...
Izzi : [embraces Tom] No, no. Listen, listen. He said that if they dug his father's body up, it would be gone. They planted a seed over his grave. The seed became a tree. Moses said his father became a part of that tree. He grew into the wood, into the bloom. And when a sparrow ate the tree's fruit, his father flew with the birds. He said... death was his father's road to awe. That's what he called it. The road to awe. Now, I've been trying to write the last chapter and I haven't been able to get that out of my head!
Tom Creo : Why are you telling me this?
Izzi : I'm not afraid anymore, Tommy.
Plot summary form Wikipedia with SPOILERS:
Conquistador Tomás Verde in New Spain fights a band of Mayans to gain entry into a pyramid, where he is attacked by a Mayan priest. The story intercuts to a similar looking man, tending a tall tree in a glass dome biosphere travelling through space, annoyed by a woman called Izzi. Finally, a third iteration, present-day doctor Tom Creo, is losing his wife Izzi to a brain tumor. Tom is working on a cure using samples from a tree found through exploration in Guatemala, which are being tested for medicinal use for degenerative brain diseases in his lab. Izzi has come to terms with her mortality, but Tom refuses to accept it, focused on his quest to find a cure for her. She writes a story called "The Fountain" about Queen Isabella losing her kingdom to the Inquisition and a commission given by her to Tomás Verde to search for the Tree of Life in the Central American forest in Mayan territory. As she does not expect to finish her book, Izzi asks Tom to finish it for her. As they look up at the golden nebula of Xibalba, she imagines, as the Mayans did, that their souls will meet there after death and when the star goes supernova. She dies shortly thereafter and Tom dedicates himself to curing not only her disease but death itself after seeing experimental success in reversing aging. His colleagues fear that this drive has made him reckless, but they support him in his scientific work and emotionally at Izzi's funeral. Tom plants a sweetgum seed at Izzi's grave in the manner of a story she told him relating how a Mayan guide's dead father lived on in a tree nourished by the organic nutrients of the buried body.
In the Mayan jungle, Tomás finds that most of his fellow knights are exhausted and refuse to continue searching for the Tree of Life. After a failed coup and the death of their priest guide, he takes the few who remain loyal with him to a pyramid, carrying a ceremonial dagger. Once he arrives at the pyramid, the first scene repeats and Tomás engages in combat with the Mayan priest. The space traveller (whether this character is a version of Tom, an element of Izzy's story, or Tom himself in the future is unclear) spends much of his time performing physical or mental exercises, including a form of meditation allowing him to perceive and interact with the past. In that past, Tomás is stabbed in the stomach but, just as the priest is about to kill him, he appears before the figurehead. The priest now believes Tomás is the "First Father" who birthed all life. Tomás kills the priest as a sacrifice and proceeds to a pool with a large tree, convinced this is the Tree of Life. Tomás applies some of its sap to his torso and is cured of his stab wound. He drinks the sap flowing from the bark. But in a reenactment of the Mayan creation myth recounted earlier, his body is turned into flowers and grass that burst forth from it and he literally gives rise to new life, killing himself in the process. In space, the tree finally dies just before the spaceship arrives at its destination, much to the horror of the version of Tom tending it. A final vision of Izzi appears, comforting him in the face of his acceptance of death. The star goes supernova, engulfing the ship and everything within. The traveler's body, engulfed by the dying star inside of the nebula, is absorbed by the tree, causing it to flourish back to life. Izzi's apparition picks a fruit from the new tree of life and hands it to Tom, who plants it in Izzi's grave.

One Way Passage (1932, dir. Tay Garnett).  The plot: Dan Hardesty (William Powell) is facing a rap for murder (justifiable to us but not to the police). Joan Ames (Kay Francis) is suffering from a terminal illness. Neither knows what the other is going through. They fall in love at first sight in a Hong Kong bar, but Hardesty is captured by a policeman (Warren Hymer). Then they meet again on the ship on which Hardesty is being sent back to the States… This is rather a gem. The consistently entertaining script (by Joseph Jackman and conman/Brown Derby co-owner/Sondheim-musical-subject Wilson Mizner) is superb—part tragic romance, part conman comedy, both parts dovetailing perfectly. The acting is exceptional, with Powell’s fugitive in some ways (but not too many) a change from his established persona and brought off with ease. Kay Francis might not have been the world’s greatest actress, but I’ve long (i.e., ever since seeing Jewel Robbery) been a fan anyway, and here she gives the best performance of hers I’ve seen. Aline McMahon and Frank McHugh provide able comic relief. Tay Garnett’s direction is unbelievably good—fluid, inventive, intelligent, just as funny as the jokes in the comic scenes and supporting the sense of high tragedy in the tragic ones. The early underwater sequences are as surprising and thrilling as I imagine they were in 1932. As Andrew Sarris wrote, Garnett’s direction always “stays in the mind despite the lack of an overall pattern in his work.” It’s hard to imagine how this story can end and still satisfy, and I don’t want to spoil anything, but it ends perfectly. It aims for the mystical and manages to succeed—as difficult now as then, yet Garnett and his writers bring it off with seeming ease. A wonderful, wondrous little film. Highly recommended.

Streets of Fire (1984), a rock and roll fable. Not bad but in parts, it felt watered down. Sure enough, apparently they cut it down from an R to a PG. I liked the songs and most of the cast except Michael Pare. It’s no wonder he went straight to video acting.

Noah (2014) / Darren Aronofsky
I didn't like this film. It seemed all modern tech with a hidden story in there somewhere. A lot of great actors hidden by special effects.
Noah (Russell Crowe) : You know why I've come?
Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins) : Yes. Before he walked on, my father Enoch told me that one day, if man continued his ways, The Creator would annihilate this world.
Noah : So what I saw is true? All life blotted out because what man has done? Can it not be averted?
Methuselah : Noah, you must trust that He speaks in a way that you can understand. So you tell me. Can this destruction be averted?
Noah : No.
Methuselah : Oh.
Noah : He sent me here. Why send me if there's nothing I can do to stop it?
Methuselah : Well, perhaps He simply sends you here to share a cup of tea with an old man.
    Plot Summary from Wikpedia with SPOLIERS:
As a young boy, Noah witnesses his father, Lamech, killed by a young Tubal-cain. Years later, an adult Noah lives with his wife Naameh and their sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. After seeing a flower grow instantly from the ground and being haunted by dreams of a great flood, Noah takes them to visit his grandfather Methuselah.
They encounter a group of people recently killed and adopt the lone survivor, a girl named Ila. Ila is treated for an abdominal wound and will survive, but Naameh determines that she will be unable to have children. Noah and his family are chased by the murderers and seek refuge with the fallen angels known as the "Watchers", in whose territory Methuselah lives. The Watchers are confined on Earth as creatures of stone for helping humans banished from the Garden of Eden. Methuselah gives Noah a seed from Eden and tells Noah that he was chosen for a reason. Returning to his tent that night, Noah plants the seed in the ground. The Watchers arrive the next morning and debate whether they should help Noah until they see water spout from the spot where Noah planted the seed. After a forest grows instantly, the Watchers agree to help Noah and his family build an ark.
After birds fly to the ark, Tubal-cain arrives with his followers and confronts Noah. Noah defies Tubal-cain and remarks that there is no escape for the line of Cain. Tubal-cain retreats and decides to build weapons to defeat the Watchers and take the ark. As the ark nears completion, animals of various species enter the ark and are sedated with incense.
With Ila having become enamored of Shem, Noah goes to a nearby settlement to find wives for Ham and Japheth but, seeing the settlers selling their daughters for food, he abandons his effort and begins believing that the Creator wants all of humanity dead. He tells his family that he will not seek wives for his younger sons. After the flood, they will be the last humans and there will be no new human generations.
Devastated that he will be alone his entire life, Ham runs into the forest. Naameh begs Noah to reconsider but, when he will not, she goes to Methuselah for help. Ila encounters Methuselah who cures her infertility. Ham, searching for a wife on his own, befriends the refugee Na'el.
After it starts raining, Tubal-cain becomes angry that he was not chosen to be saved and incites his followers to make a run for the ark. Noah finds Ham in the forest and forces Ham to save himself, but leaves Na'el to die when she is caught in an animal trap. Noah's family enter the ark except for Methuselah, who remains in the forest and is swept away by the rushing waters. The Watchers fight off Tubal-cain and his mob of followers, sacrificing themselves and ascending to heaven, their reward for protecting Noah. As the flood drowns the remaining humans, an injured Tubal-cain climbs onto the ark and solicits Ham, playing on anger toward Noah for allowing Na'el to die.
Ila discovers she is pregnant as the rains stop and begs the Creator to let the child live. Noah interprets the ending of the rain to mean he must ensure the extinction of humans and, against his wife's protests, resolves that, if the child is a girl, he will kill her. Nine months later, Ila and Shem build a raft to escape Noah's resolve, but Noah discovers and burns it. Ila then starts feeling labor pains and gives birth to twin girls. After Ham calls Noah telling him the beasts are awake and eating each other, Tubal-cain emerges and attempts to hit Noah. Noah and Tubal-cain engage in combat. Shem promises Ila that Noah will not harm their daughters and goes to stop him. He attacks Noah as Tubal-cain falls to the ground only to be knocked out. Tubal-cain eventually forces Noah to the edge of the raft, but Ham kills him with a dagger before he can shove Noah in the ocean. Noah picks himself up and finds Ila and the babies, intending to kill the children, but spares them upon looking at his granddaughters and only feeling love.
Upon exiting the ark on the new land, a shameful Noah goes into isolation in a nearby cave, making wine in which to drown his sorrows. Ham expresses disappointment for his father's current state of unseemly drunkenness and nakedness before leaving his kin to live alone. Having reconciled at the behest of Ila, Noah blesses the family as the beginning of a new human race and all witness waves of immense celestial rainbows.

After the Thin Man 1936 directed by W.S. van Dyke. The further adventures of Nick and Nora Charles after riding three days by train that apparently took three days coast to coast in USA back then. Starring William Powell, Myrna Loy, Joseph Calliea, Elissa Landi, a young James Stewart, Jessie Ralph and other familiar faces. Nick Charles returns to San Francisco a celebrity shortly before New Years Eve, and stumbles right into a new mystery that involves a disappearance within Nora's family circles, and later murders. This is comedy and thrills of he highest order, and Powell and Loy joyously offcourse improvise many scenes, and what an Art Deco home they live in! So much space! It's like eating your favorite cake, a pure delight, with a surprise at the end. Let's not forget Asta, here is even a Mrs Asta. Normally I watched The Thin Man 1934 before Christmas yearly, but this year I tried the sequel also taking place during the holidays, New Year, instead.

Pi (1998) / Darren Aronofsky
My survey of Aronofsky's films ends with this very strange B&W independent film. It was Aronofsky's first feature film:
Maximillian Cohen (Sean Gullette) : Restate my assumptions: One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature. Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics;the wax and wane of caribou populations; sun spot cycles; the rise and fall of the Nile. So, what about the stock market? The universe of numbers that represents the global economy. Millions of hands at work, billions of minds. A vast network, screaming with life. An organism. A natural organism. My hypothesis: Within the stock market, there is a pattern as well... Right in front of me... hiding behind the numbers. Always has been.
Sol Robeson (Mark Margolis): [finishes story of Archimedes' breakthrough] Now, what is the moral of the story?
Maximillian Cohen : That a breakthrough will come.
Sol Robeson : Wrong! The point of the story is the wife. You listen to your wife, she will give you perspective, meaning. You need a break, you have to take a bath or you will get nowhere.

The Constant Gardener (2005) / Fernando Meirelles
This the story, based on a novel by John le Carré, of a career British diplomat and his wife, who is a social activist. Their two worlds clash because of their differing goals in Kenya. As the story unfolds, Justin learns about the use of the native population by a big drug company and the government's complicity in that use. But, is Tessa also using Justin?
Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) : Well, ah, I can't speak for Sir Bernard...
[lecture audience laughs]
Justin Quayle : Well, diplomats have to go where they're sent.
Tessa Quayle : So do labradors.
Justin Quayle : [Smiling] Ouch... Well, I think Mr. Bernard would argue that when peaceful means are exhausted...
Tessa Quayle : Exhausted? Mr.Quayle, they're not exactly exhausted, they're just lying in the way of the tanks!
   (wonderful little skit within the movie)^^ The Kizingo Arts Troupe ^^
  Plot Summary from Wikipedia with SPOILERS:
Justin Quayle, a low-level British diplomat and horticultural hobbyist posted in Kenya, learns that his wife Tessa was found dead in the veld. Tessa has been murdered at a crossroads along with her Kenyan driver. Her colleague, Dr. Arnold Bluhm, initially suspected of her murder, is then found to have been murdered on the same day as Tessa. Various rumours abound that the two were having an affair; it is later revealed that Bluhm was gay.
In flashbacks, we see how in London, Justin met his future wife Tessa, an outspoken humanitarian and Amnesty International activist. He falls in love with her, and she persuades him to take her back with him to Kenya. Despite their loving marriage, Tessa keeps from Justin the reason why she approached him in the first place: to investigate a suspicious drug trial in Kenya and expose it. When Tessa starts getting too close to uncovering the malpractices of an influential and powerful pharmaceutical company, she and her colleague are brutally murdered.
As the mystery surrounding his wife's death unfolds, Justin becomes determined to get to the bottom of her murder. He soon runs up against a drug corporation that is using Kenya's population for fraudulent testing of a tuberculosis drug. The drug has known harmful side effects, but the corporation completely disregards the well-being of its impoverished African test subjects.
Sir Bernard Pellegrin heads the Africa Desk at the Foreign Office and is the boss both of Justin and the British High Commissioner, Sandy Woodrow. In his investigations, Justin discovers that Tessa hid from him a report about the deaths caused by Dypraxa, and he obtains an incriminating letter that Tessa took from Sandy. Justin confronts Sandy, who tells him that what Tessa wanted was to stop the Dypraxa tests and redesign the drug. However, this would have cost millions of dollars and significantly delayed the drug's release, during which time other competing drugs would have surfaced. Pellegrin considered Tessa's report too damaging and proclaimed she had to be stopped. The company threatens Justin: he must stop his investigations or meet his wife's fate. In one instance, agents are sent to beat him up.
Still determined, Justin takes a UN aid plane to the village where the doctor lives who provided Tessa with the clinical data behind her report. The doctor gives Justin a copy of the report, but the village is raided by armed tribesmen on horseback, and Justin and the doctor are forced to flee from the carnage. Justin has the plane drop him off at the place where Tessa died. There he thinks about Tessa; he tells her memory that he knows all her secrets, that he understands her now, and that he is coming home. Following his reverie, he is killed in an organized hit.
At Tessa and Justin's funeral, Justin's lawyer reads the incriminating letter written by Pellegrin to Woodrow. In the letter, Pellegrin ordered the surveillance of Tessa, expressly to block her reports detailing the deaths caused by Dypraxa, and explains that the company could not be held responsible for the Dypraxa deaths if it never officially received the reports. The scandal having been revealed, Pellegrin leaves the ceremony followed by journalists.
