Tool: Salival (2000)
stop motion animation
Salival is the collection of TOOL's work from 1991-2000.
Five videos including Hush, Skinkfist, Prison Sex, Sober and Aenima, it is a must get just because you simply see the evolution of metal and art before your eyes, you can capture 10 years of hard work and inspiration. Adam Jones the director of most of the videos is an admirer of the famous director jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay, he takes what they do best and puts his image and perception on it and just turns it from film to brilliant astonishing work. EVEN if you aren't a film buff, get this just because of the music, they are an awesome band, best out there.
The Pianist (2002)
Brilliant and astonishing
I have never been graced with time passed in perfection and if i have before, i have decided from now on, that the art and story depicted in the Pianist is what my soul was starving for. I saw it at the end of January and weeks later Wladyslaw is still in my mind, his story, his trials and his love for life. Polanski's best work to date, Adrien Brody pulls off the best work of his career so far, hopefully this will be one of his building blocks to greater works. I have told everyone i know to see this movie, to open up their minds to the hatred and passion depicted in this horror of a tale. All in all, this transcended leaps and bounds and will end up in my top 5 list for 2003.
