The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)

It’s eighties, Seattle. Before Nirvana, there used to be jazz. Two guys struggling to earn a living by playing piano tunes and a call girl who moves their act into the spotlight. The rest is parsley, okey?

Boogie Nights (1997)

While in Sydney a few months ago, we went through several movie marathons. One of the midnight chillers was Paul Thomas Anderson’s second feature, Boogie Nights, starring Mark Wahlberg’s manhood.

Man, did we have fun watching it! We only wish it was a bit shorter. Talking about the film, of course.

And regarding the same number of stars; we keep promising and promising, yet we seldom deliver. We guess we must be men or something!

The Painted Veil (2006)

Gabriel & Martin — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 21:08:33 +0000

This is neither a movie for a broad audience, nor an indie flick. However, worth seeing for all those Edward Norton fans around (like two of us). Just because he is such a nice guy. And because Naomi Watts is such a lady. By the way, sorry for the same number of stars again. We’ll try better next time.

Black Dahlia (2006)

Gabriel & Martin — Tue, 01 May 2007 00:25:25 +0000

Finally, we both saw a movie that we have a different opinion about. It sucked, and it was pretty hard to find beauty in it. Except for Ms Johansson, of course.

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Gabriel & Martin — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 06:37:28 +0000

Today, we were discussing if there ever was a movie that two of us went to see together. We actually found one in last ten years, so we’re quite happy to present another. That will probably be it for a while, we guess.

Being in Surfers Paradise (where we do absolutely nothing), we decided we would see and comment on a British flick, one that was given a positive reviews from both audience and critics. Mind you, it’s pretty hard to find such a gem.

The Departed (2006)

Gabriel & Martin — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 04:54:29 +0000

The Oscar night is long gone, but we decided we would spam tm91.net with more movie-related posts; but to save our precious time — while smartly trying to avoid admitting that we’re lazy — we’re giving the world our view in condensed form. Until we come up with a better name, we call it Duel, however, this is not a duel in a popular sense, we’re just shooting without rules, and not at each other, but at the stars. Movie stars.

The proof shot is Mr Scorsese’s virgin Oscar-decorated flick, The Departed.

Enjoy our intellectual banalities.
