Blade Runner, anyone? high time to make a remake and put Keanu in it

---

... might as well make a proper adaptation of it, dammit :(
don't get me wrong, I like Ridley Scott's movie, but it ain't the story written by PKD.

I'm curious about the Total Recall remake. Directed by Len Wiseman, with Colin Farrell and Kate Beckinsale...
Really curious.

still trying to wrap my head around Eraserhead

Another recommendation: Kar Wai Wong. Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, Ashes of Time, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love, 2046 ... not really sure about My Blueberry Nights, though. WKW's hand and eye is visible, but he 'went Hollywood' with this one and afraid it lacks the... authenticity?

okay, I've put Le Bal on my list :)

By the way, Keanu's leading lady Karen Mok is actually in Fallen Angels... donning short blonde hair.

I still haven't seen Eraserhead. I'm gonna give it another go in a couple of weeks.

Ashes of Time... is something else. it's David Lynch meets Yuen Woo Ping :D
(drat, I'm beginning to speak/type like a film critic. And that's a species I'm not very fond of.)

ARYA- do you remember the author of that book? I'd like to read it too.

not only because it's a sad true story about corruption and monopoly policies, but also because the dark side of Chris Evans looks good.

La tourneuse de pages by Denis Dercourt http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0487503/

Blanc comme neige by Christophe Blanc http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454907/

Apparently the IMDB viewers don't agree with me, judging by their ratings, but I thouht it was nice to see some non-hollywood films. And they were not so slow paced as older french movies I've seen.

Winner of the Cannes Best Director Award, Michael Haneke's psychological thriller centers on wealthy French couple Georges (Daniel Auteuil) and Anne (Juliette Binoche), who begin receiving threatening videotapes and phone calls that threaten to ruin their relationship. Georges realizes who the perpetrator is but refuses to tell Anne. Yet childhood flashbacks reveal the mystery, a story that illuminates France's damaged relations with Algeria.

very intelligent, brillant, well read.
I love his filmography, because he writes stories about litterature, psychoanalysis, lies with a great cinematography and soundtrack.

I watched his movies and I recommend you at leat two films: Il manoscritto del principe http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202464/ the story tells the end of life and the latest exploits of writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa , in particular its relationship with the students in their twenties Marco(false name for the Prof.Francesco Orlando) and Guido ( Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi) and the writing of The Leopard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Leopard. it is in italian.

the second movie is: Sotto falso nome (Le prix du désir)- 2004
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367098/ don't look the user review from Imdb, because the writer didn't watched all the movie and he didn't know most of the story is telled at the end of the movie ( the final scene is amazing!) the sotry tells the relationship between a very famous writer who writes under a pseudonymous ( under false name as the italian title says) and the his step-son's wife. it tells about secrets, lies and the past that has to be unsaid. the most of film is in french (some scene in polish). with daniel auteil , anne mouglalis and greta scacchi.
