With Shyamalan, there's usually much less to the story than meets the eye IMO.

E.T.: 8/10

Nevertheless I would say that Signs is my favorite Shyamalan film.

Good film and great CGI, but I didn't care to see Bacon's bits.

Taxi Driver - 10/10

Saw this once, and I don't know what the allure to it is... maybe I should watch it again.

Amazing acting, flawless direction, a brilliant script, a beautiful final score by Bernard Herrmann... it's one of my all time favourites, but it is a film that grew on me with rewatching.

The trio of director Martin Scorsese, writer Paul Schrader and star Robert De Niro was a real class act, it also resulted in Raging Bull

I've seen it countless times over the years and, although it is very much of it's time and place (like a time capsule of mid '70's New York), I never tire of it. I might not go as high as giving it a 10/10, but it's right up there with Scorsese/De Niro's very best collaborations, so easily earns a 9.

It's an unflinching study of isolation, social ineptness, paranoia and slowly brewing mental instability. Due to the 'slumming it self-parody' he's devolved into since the double whammy of Heat and Casino, it's easy to forget the impact De Niro had on screen acting. He was the guy every other young actor wanted to be at the *** end of the 70's, going into the early 80's. His bravura performance as Travis Bickle (and the stories of how intensely he inhabited the role) was the reason why.

If someone were drawn into watching it solely by such iconic and oft-referenced scenes as the "you talking to me" mirror riff, or the finger flying bloodbath finale, then I can maybe see how they might find the film a slog to get through. It's a character piece, pure and simple. It's not a crime caper or crazy guy on a rampage revenge flick, which is the expectation I think a lot of people who haven't seen it go into this film with now.

For me, the two stand outs have always been the oddly off kilter narration and Benard Herrmans score, which combine to give the whole film a hypnotic, dreamlike quality that's difficult to shake.

Seriously, I would highly recommend watching it again. Preferably, late at night after a few drinks, when you're just lazing around on your own and let the filth wash over you.

The Book of Life - 6/10

 

[cmiller99]

That's a really good summary

On another note: I just watched Lars Von Triers 'Antichrist' for the second time last night and I still can't decide if I think it's a 9/10 work of insane genius, or a 1/10 self-indulgent wankfest. Some elements of the film had me considering it a possible descendant of 'Don't Look Now', whilst others had me wondering if any of it was ever intended to be taken seriously in the first place and whether Von Trier was just flipping everyone the finger whilst manically laughing his arse off.

Von Trier has made some weird film choices in the last couple years. I did like Melancholia a lot. Nymphomaniac was purely self indulgent, just to make headlines.
