"Quarantine"
When I initially read Scott's review of Juame Balaguero's "[Rec]", I questioned some of his critical rationale, asking myself, “Yes… But is it scary?” I could not quite grasp the thought of a horror film being a failure on so many levels, if it succeeded in its one true intention – scaring the audience. I still have yet to see "[Rec]", but after watching Quarantine, I both understand and fully agree with Scott's motives for critiquing the film as he did.
"Quills"
There are many things that amaze me about the work of Philip Kaufman. First off, it amazes me that he gets a seemingly small piece of film fan's recognition. Second, that he made "Twisted" which was a huge hunk of crap. And most notably that Philip Kaufman has made not only some very significant examples of cinema, but that those separate films are so different from each other. Kaufman directed the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" remake, which is not only superior to the first film, but also one of the most stylistically dark movies ever made. A wonderful comedic snapshot of the early sixties, "The Wanderers", for which Kaufman also wrote the screenplay. He directed "The Right Stuff" which was a significant, Academy Award winning docudrama about real life space exploration. Then he directed movies like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Henry and June" which are some of film's finest examples of erotic storytelling.
