Cuaron is excellent. His recent track record has been damn good. Children of Men, Prisoner of Azkaban(best Harry Potter movie), and Y tu mama tambien. What about the Coen Brothers or Paul Thomas Anderson?
GREAT movie. I think I will watch it again tonight. Or Uwe Boll? In all seriousness, Y Tu Mama Tambien was a trip. I had no idea what I was getting into when I watched it. Good movie. I was tempted to watch this for the sole purpose of watching Stringer Bell cracking skulls, but thus far have held out.
PT Anderson is an amazing director too. Boogie Nights is really, really good, and Magnolia is a trip. Tom Cruise was quite good in that movie.
Don't forget Paris, Je T'aime I'd go with the Coen brothers simply because I feel like Anderson got lucky with a few movies. For instance, There Will Be Blood was a good movie, but DD Lewis' character study made that film, not so much with how Anderson brought it forth. Great director, but i'd go with the Coen brothers. Plus Raising Arizona is so underrated it's funny (irony?)
Cuaron only directed a segment of Paris, Te' Jaime, along with the Coen Brothers and many other notable directors. But yes, another great credit to his name. Yeah, Raising Arizona is a classic. Half of the Coen Brother's collection you'd be hard pressed to find a normal person that has seen any of them. Films like Blood Simple, Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing, and The Man Who Wasn't There are all good in their own right. The Coen Brothers are probably better directors, I was just asking if you trust either of those two. As for how There Will Be Blood was done, I think it was both Anderson's directing and Lewis' acting that make it a masterpiece. Each scene is masterfully crafted and perfectly paced, Lewis is the cherry on top. I thought it should have won Best Picture over No Country For Old Men, but the Coen Brothers have deserved the Oscar for sometime. At least 'No Country' was a good movie unlike some other Best Picture winners. Let's not forget that Anderson also had some other terrific films(Magnolia, Hard Eight, Punch-Drunk Love, and Boogie Nights) that often get overlooked.
Directors I trust: Paul Thomas Anderson The Coen Brothers Alfonso Cuaron Michael Haneke Joon-Ho Bong Guillermo Del Toro(For the most part) Chan-wook Park Werner Herzog Sofia Coppola Wes Anderson(Also for the most part) Christopher Nolan Hayao Miyazaki Quentin Tarantino Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu Darren Aronofsky David Lynch
Toy Story 3- 8/10 really good film and great story Inception- 9/10 GREAT movie, even with all the hype around it, it still managed to live up. knocking it down a point because i thought it dragged a little after the first 45 minutes but the last 75 minutes was some of the best in movie history. Hot Tub Time Machine- 3/10 and i think i'm being generous. what a pile of shit that was. i know they were high when making this, and spent all of 15 minutes on the script but i don't think i laughed out loud once. if you are going to go the way of caddyshack and not have much of a story, you better bring the laughs, this one did not.
Toy Story 3- 9/10 I actually almost started crying lol Prince of Persia- 6/10 I wasn't really expecting much and that's what i got Salt 7.5/10- I thought it was a fun movie and a little more gory and intense than i thought it would be. Can't go wrong with that
180 Degrees South 10/10 for me just because I read a book about it, The Founder of Patagonia Clothing Co
Oh a very stylishly shot film. Heart warming of course. There Will Be Blood was great, but I thought the ending was somewhat arbitrary. I'd give it a 8/10.
I thought it was decent but nowhere near as good as Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch. Layer Cake was directed by Matthew Vaughn, who also directed Kick-Ass. I just watched that the other day and it was pretty entertaining. I'd say 7/10.
Finally saw Silence of the Lambs 9.5/10 It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!
