Through A Scanner Darkly


This is the first post for my film blog. Decided I spend just as much time watching and enjoying film as I do music, so for anyone interested in my journeys through cinema I'll post my thoughts here.

Today I continued working my way through "Top 100 Animated Shorts from 1906 to 2006", got some what sidetracked after watching Jan Svankmeyer's short Moznasti Dialogu, as it impressed me and hence I watched the feature-length Lunacy. Svankmeyer works with stop-motion, using very textured small items to represent larger items such as people or a concept, frequently using food and adding rich sounds over the top to make mundane things so alive and almost obscene.
I'm still working my way through Soderbergh's back catalogue. Having recently watched Kafka and Schizopolis.

Would like to recommend Starpulse website, simply for the whole "Similar Movies:" function. Excellent way to find new films based on what you like or would like more of. :)
