Big Bang
 The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Second Season $44.98 This is probably the best sitcom on TV. I'm lovin' it! I hope to get year 1 for Christmas. I've been real good Santa!!!  Big Bang Love, Juvenile A $24.98 Man, Big Bang Love, Juvenile A is one tough cookie to crack! If you're an admirer of Takashi Miike (pronounced MEE-KAY) and his other surreal works like Gozu, Izo and Box...you're definitely going to "enjoy" this beautiful oddity. Those of you that "fanned up" after Ichi The Killer and Audition may want to tread carefully because Big Bang Love, Juvenile A isn't an easy watch at all. It's homoerotic, German Expressionist cinema mixed with chaotic, religious and scientific symbolism; a neo-noir prison romance. Would I recommend this film based on the acting and cinematography alone? Absolutely. Overall, Takashi Miike's mis-en-sc¸«²ne is breathtaking and, according to his personal DVD blurb, this is his masterpiece. Who can argue with the man? If he feels this is his masterpiece, so be it. One thing Big Bang Love, Juvenile A is not though...is entertaining. This film is almost completely bereft of any entertainment value, it's art plain and simple and, as we all know, art doesn't always have to entertain to be significant. Personally, I thought this was an amazing film and I'll probably require a few more viewings to grasp some of the imagery present but this will more than likely never leave my home. It's a fascinating film, very personal and far from being a crowd pleaser. Films that provoke thought or emotional responses are often misunderstood. The topics of gender and love, religion and science, past, present and future and punishment versus rehabilitation are rarely looked upon as entertaining so be aware before renting or purchasing this that it just may not be for you. I'd still recommend giving it a try.  Howard Goodall's Big Bangs $29.99 The title says it all! We were very pleased with the product, transaction and delivery time. |
