This is a Dansih movie that is absolutely fantastic. I have written about it previously, so I won’t go into too much detail. I highly recommend it though. This scene is one of the most jarring scenes I have ever seen. It may not be now because it’s not in the context of the movie and you are expecting it, but trust me. It is. There is a really awesome scene just before this scene as well, but it felt awkward when I included it so I didn’t. But I threw that sentence in there because I can’t just ignore it all together. Watch this amazingness.

This is a swedish “vampire” film that is quite remarkable. If you want to know what I think of this movie than read my official post on the blog that I share with Chris. We do a weekly film symposium and this was the movie we just did. Click here to read my thoughts.

Awhile back on my other blog, not the one with chris, Bryan asked me what great directing looks like to me. I don’t remember if that is that exact wording, but this scene is the epitome of great directing. This is what great directing looks like. It was great to finally see these little shits get what was coming to them. Turn up the sound, it adds quite a bit.

This is the opening scene from Michael Clayton. This monologue delivered by the amazing Tom Wilkinson is one of the finest pieces of acting you are ever likely to see….or hear. This guy doesn’t even need to be on the screen to amaze you. If this doesn’t pull you into the movie then just turn it off there, because there is obviously no helping you. It’s a shame he had to give this performance the same year as Javier Bardem’s ‘Chigurh,’ because this performance definitely deserved an oscar. Also, some kudos definitely goes to the music people. The use of music in this scene is incredible. I love how it builds with the dialogue. The climax is brilliant (that’s what she said.) Watch this, and be schooled on brilliant acting looks like…or sounds like.

This scene is from Jet Li’s Fearless. Fearless is a true story about Huo Yuan Jia, one of the most respected Chinese masters in their history, and the founder of the Jin Wu Sports Federation. This scene takes place after one of his students is badly wounded by his nemesis Mister Chin. This isn’t necessarily the best “fight scene” in the movie, but it is my favorite. I guess the best is highly debatable, considering that they are all amazing. Anyway, check this scene out. I love it.

This scene comes from the movie ‘Chicago.’ This was another movie that I absolutely hated the first time around. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that it won best picture over Lord of the Rings, which, to this day is completely absurd, but it is what it is. This is my favorite song from the movie. It’s called ‘Mr. Cellophane’ and is performed by the great John C. Reilly. This scene is absolutely amazing and couldn’t have been done better by anyone else. The acting, directing, editing, and lighting are all absolutely stunning. Here it is.
