Movie Review: The New World

Read a rave review in the L.A. Times. Malick's films are definitely like no others. Haven't seen this myself, but probably anyone who likes this one should give Badlands a try. Same director, great stuff.

Terrence Malick wrote and directed the Thin Red Line. Did you guys like that movie too?

i liked thin red line a lot.

i'm looking forward to seeing the new world. in trailers the cinematography simply looks amazing, the way it captures the lush beauty of a wild and unspoiled america. i suspect the film has the same kind of meditative quality found in malick's previous work which some ppl aren't particularly fond of.

I didn't see that one. I saw Badlands and Days of Heaven. He has only made four films so far.

I hear that plenty of people hated The Thin Red Line, but with a guy with Malick's style, it's hard to know how much that means. One thing his films are not, are films for the Everyman.
