Film See This Movie, Please.

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Thu, Jan 25 at 11:26 AM

I rarely care about anything other than Pugs, tofu-based snack treats and The Blazers, but for the love of god, why have you people NOT seen Children of Men yet? You are a heartless monster if you are not crushed by the sheer beauty, and power, of this film, yet to date it has grossed $14 million LESS than We Are Marshall. Ouch.

Not only is it the greatest movie I have seen in years, if not ever, but it also contains the best use of music within the context of a film you’ll ever see. It might even make a King Crimson fan out of you, which when you think about it, really says a lot about a film.

Please, you owe it to yourself, see Children of Men.

Yes. Everything Ezra said.

I couldn't agree more Ezra.

I'm worth the $6 alone.

And if you have seen COM, check out this 'making of' video. It's interesting to see how managed those super-long takes.
