It’s hard to imagine a time when traveling west in this country was traveling into a vast unknown. A place filled with violence, opportunity, adventure and wilderness. A place that civilized men were wise to dread. And avoid. In the late ...
Pros: Nice Score. Cons: Writing, Directing, poor attempt at an 'Artistic' film.
I'm frankly amazed at the number of good ratings given to this pretentious waste of film. Due to his great performance in "Pirates of the Caribbean", we've recently gone on a 'Depp' binge at my house. We've rented almost every movie he's ever been ...
Pros: Nice B&W cinematography Cons: Boring, slow, Neil Young's soundtrack
I’ve about had it with Jim Jarmusch movies. I know he’s supposed to be some kind of indie film wunderkind, but I’ve found most of his movies to be pretty damn boring, especially this one. His Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai was an all right movie ...
Pros: Depp and Farmer, slyly questions our existence, moments of violence Cons: Sometimes too slow, too unfocused in its narrative
In the comments section of my Down by Law review, those who claimed affection for that film usually noted that they preferred another Jim Jarmusch film even more. "I prefer Dead Man," said
Pros: Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Robert Mitchum, Lance Henriksen, and a whole lot more! Cons: Hoooo boy! What do I do now? They exist, in quantity, but are all surmountable.
My mind and my perceptions work in weird and devious ways I have yet to understand. Sometimes I watch a movie that I don't want to review because I like it too well and don't want to do it an injustice. Then, there are those movies that simply demand ...
Pros: a very different kind of western. Cons: this film may cause you to think (we dont want that now do we?)
WARNING: This spoiler may contain a review...... Its a good job that we have the likes of Johnny Depp, no not for his cheekbones and smouldering good looks (the blighter), but because he chooses some very interesting films, and in the case of this ...
Pros: Jarmusch, Depp, Iggy Pop and Thornton? You gotta be kidding! Cons: There's really no resolution in the end. But that's Jarmusch!
Describing a Jim Jarmusch film is no easy feat! He does film his own way. There's no important message he's trying to give us but yet there is always some underlying meaning that you just can't put your finger on. Jarmusch makes even the most minor ...
I was privileged to see this movie in my photography class a couple years ago, and the only thing that bothers me is that, had I not been shown it, I might never have experienced it, because it's sufficiently low-profile to avoid most...
Pros: Thoughtful, wonderous, original, different Cons: quiet, slow, long
I would like to say that placing this film in the western genre was a mistake. It more closely represents classic art films and is a dark, symbolic, and heart touching film. Unlike many of the classic western films in existance, this film does not...
Pros: Well Shot, Acting, Moments, Soundtrack Cons: Characters, Purpose, Back of the DVD says more than the film
As frequent readers of my reviews will note, I have to be in a mood for black and white films or else I will be instantly prejudiced against it. Not so much with older films, but certainly with films released these days. Black and white is a medium ...
Pros: Expert Filmmaking, Excellent score, Great performance from Depp Cons: none
When was the last time you were "lost in a film"? With Dead Man, Jim Jarmusch has created an existential journey where the viewer learns about living through the eyes of a "Dead Man" who himself seems lost in life.
An interesting concept and an even more interesting directing style made Dead Man, starring Johnny Depp, a roller coaster of confusing thought from beginning to end.
The story focuses on William Blake, an accountant from Cleveland who comes to...
Pros: Outstanding performances. Great soundtrack. Jarmusch's best movie to date. Cons: This is the kind of movie that you have to be in the mood for.
Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man" was released into the theaters in 1996, and hit a resounding thud in the minds of moviegoers. I do not personally recall it even being in the theaters myself, even living in a major city. Of course, the film was eventually ...
Johnny Depp is great as an undead greenhorn in the American West. I love this movie. It's paced very slow, but it is able to keep the viewer's attention because it LOOKS SO GOOD. This is an awesome experimental film, visually lush...
In bringing his distinct vision to the Western genre writer-director Jim Jarmusch has created a quasi-mystical avant-garde drama that remains a deeply...More at Family Video
