A Movie Index in Ten Films

I say,
if you can no longer call
the times you live in
contemporary, you've
got a problem.

You should always find
new things to be worth
experiencing.

***

Alexander (2004)
I don't know why
people don't like
this film. That's
all, because I
really don't get that.

The Dark Knight (2009)
Morality never came off
so realistically in so
fantastic a setting.

Munich (2005)
If you want to understand
our world today, you need
to develop an appreciation
for this film.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
Today I'll call it a representation
of the American myth itself.

The Truman Show (1998)
My favorite film
from my favorite actor,
mugging as he always does,
because he doesn't realize
he's doing it for
someone else,
the tragicomic of our times.

Star Wars (1977)
Because I still can't
believe that George Lucas
came up with all that
and got away with it
right from the start.

Gladiator (2000)
The strength of man
embodied by a man's man.

Memento (2001)
The quintessential fable
for the games we play
on ourselves.

The Departed (2006)
The way we get organized
is a frightening spectacle.

Office Space (1999)
The way we allow ourselves
to be crushed by work
is even worse.
