Last night I finally got to see Sin City.
If I was to sum the entire movie in one word, it would be "WOW".
Also considered "amazing", "awesome", "mind blowing" and "masterpiece".

As I type this I am watching the 1st season of the OC (rented the whole season from Blockbuster today). This show is just classically directed. They just do everything by the book. They just make it look so easy -- slow slow tracking shots; medium close shots; over the shoulder shots; long reaction shots; mellow soundtrack at dramatic moments; the ( Read more... )

I already stated that I am not much of a poetry fan. But I can still admire well written poems. I don't know many of them, even fewer in Hebrew, but "Confession" by Alexander Penn is an excellent poem and Yehudit Ravitz's performance is simply beautiful.
