To Keep In Mind When Crossing Over

3 years, 3 months ago at Feb 14 2:08
I highly recommend anyone who hasn't seen this movie to see it straightaway. This was my third time seeing it, but the first time I truly could appreciate it. The first viewing I was too young, the second time I was too stoned, and this third time I was sober and clear minded and it was perfect.

Definitely a favorite of mine now -
Very deep, very good, + a little disturbed. I... read more

"Despite all the confusion, it's a simple case of the script being too ambitious. It may emulate a man experiencing flashbacks, but it doesn't help the audience. - Ian Nathan, Empire Magazine Dull, unimaginative and pretentious. - Variety Staff, Variety ultimately flat on its surrealistic face, the victim of too many fake-art sequences. - Desson Thomson, Washington Post Lyne indulges more in misdirection than in direction; he's a magician turning a sleazy trick. - Hal Hinson, Washington P"

"viewed: May 15, 2012 Very good movie. At times it was almost scary. There were times when I didn't know what and why is happening. I like movies that make us think and something surprising. I'm glad I could finally watch it."

Iconic Movies: The Vietnam War (13 movies items)

"After getting two suggestions, both from Orpheus Anathema, and from Severin Severin, I guess I can't leave this one out. Jacob's Ladder is a difficult movie to describe. It follows along a stream of consciousness, some of which takes place in Vietnam. Actually, it's somewhere around three minutes of the movie.
