Palookaville (1995)

Top Stuff!

[9/10 · 26 November 2000]

Basically this is one of the finest films I saw the year it came out. American indie comedy/character cinema at its best. The trouser sniffing scene almost got me ejected from the cinema for laughing too loudly. This movie is an absolute triumph. Around the same time I caught 'Big Night', 'The Daytrippers' & 'Buffalo 66' - all great films. If you liked any of them you'll love 'Palookaville'.

The Samurai (1967)

Cooler Than Cool

[9/10 · 26 November 2000]

Surely one of the suavest movies ever made. Crime doesn't come more laid back and sophisticated than this. The hat, the coat, the Cirtoen DS, the lack of dialogue, the swinging doors in the police interrogation scene, the organ music in the night club... Damn!!!!!!

One of THE best movies of all time. Ever.
