Monday Links (19/03/12)


Recapping what I have seen this week, and it has been a busy week, I have posted reviews of 21 Jump Street, which opened March 15, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and The Raid, which arrive in cinemas this week. Today I will be checking out both The Rum Diary and Haywire, and later in the week, The Hunger Games.

Here are some links for you this week:

Jose @ Movies Kick Ass delves into some of the complex themes present in David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. 

Alex @ And So It Begins gives Undefeated, the Oscar winner for Best Documentary Feature, an A+.

Kevyn Knox @ Anomalous Material shares 10 Little Known Movies You Need to See Now.  

Diana @ Aziza's Picks is working through a Coen Bros. mini marathon. She reviews Fargo, which is arguably their best work.

Stevee @ Cinematic Paradox catches up with Take Shelter. It also became one of her favourites from 2011.

Tom Clift has some positive things to say about Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Check out his review @ Cut Print Review. 

Brian J. Roan @ Dear Film reviews The Kid With A Bike and chats with Andrew @ A Constant Visual Feast and Dan @ Fogs' Movie Reviews about Silent House on his new Podcast, Outside the Envelope. 

Anna @ Defiant Success reviews Robert Bresson's Pickpocket. A masterpiece.

Sam @ Duke and the Movies has started a Tuesday Inquisition segment. This week he asks his readers about Buddy Cop Films. 

Max @ Impassioned Cinema takes a look at Francis Ford Coppola's classic, Apocalypse Now. 

The Kid in the Front Row chats with the director of Superbad and Paul, Greg Mottola. 

A group of Aussie online film journalists - Cameron Williams, Richard Gray, Matt Pejkovic, Jessica Chandra and Jorge Duran - were invited to chat with the two stars of 21 Jump Street a few weeks back. You can read the transcript @ Cam's site, Popcorn Junkie.

Tyler @ Southern Vision finally watched A Separation.  

Simon Columb @ Screen Insight writes a great piece on Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows.

That's all folks. Hope you have a great week. What did you watch over the weekend?

      You're welcome. I am glad you enjoyed Pickpocket. One of the best films I have seen so far in 2012.

    I had such a dreadful day on Saturday I decided against trying to watch anything cos I just couldn't focus on anything. Stuck to my scheduled silent film today, though (Spione by Fritz Lang).

      Sorry to hear that James. That's how I felt on Sunday. I was pretty disastrously hungover though, so it was self inflicted. I haven't seen Spione. Worth checking out?

    Thanks for the link. I'm currently doing a two-night marathon of one of the greatest films of all time, THE BEST OF YOUTH. It's six hours long and I'm watching it over two nights. I absolutely love this film as much as life itself.

      The Best of Youth. I am sure I have heard of it. Six hours, though. You're dedicated my friend.

      I watched it tonight, but I can't say too much just yet. I look forward to your thoughts. My review will be up on Thursday (probably just after midnight :-p)

    Thanks so much for the link, buddy. Try to get ahold of Undefeated if you can. Remarkable.

    I imagine it will get a cinema release here, but the question is: when? No problem dude.
