This is that rare animal - a comedic film SO original, and So outrageous, that it should be embraced by cineastes everywhere, political correctness notwithstanding; definitely one for anyone who loves South Park and Viz. A cheer for fun cinema!

Three Kings

Astonishing improvement from Spanking the Monkey
3 June 2003
I enjoyed the film, but most of all, I appreciated the originality and satirical element of the vision. What surprised me most however was how different it was from David O' Russell's "SPANKING THE MONKEY". From small, domestic drama to kinectic war extravangaza - quite a marked difference - obviously a testament to O'Russell's abundance of talent
Das Boot

Epic poetry
3 June 2003
Stayed up till 5.30 in the morning to watch the Director's Cut. I can only say that it nearly amounted to a spirtual experience! Not surprised then to find out that it is one of the most expensive German productions ever; was surprised though to read Wolfgang Peterson's hollywood CV post Das Boot; from poetry, he has descended to being conventional gun for hire; a great loss for German cinema...
