The Impostors (1998)

Directed by Stanley Tucci

The Impostors is a work of genuine genius (take that alliteration police). Its non-stop laughs* come from blending silent, slapstick, screwball, Marx/Warner Brothers, and musical comedies. Oliver Platt and Stanley Tucci are on the run after assaulting a famous stage actor. While hiding out on a cruise liner, hijinks ensue.

  
* You’ll definitely want more cream puffs after the Bakery scene.

See The Impostors trailer on YouTube. Even better, see the opening sequence at The Art of the Title Sequence (quicktime). 

Here's a nice review by James Berardinelli (Reelviews.net).

Faye Wong: Movies & Video Games

I like movies; I like video games. I like Chungking Express and Final Fantasy VIII.

Thanks to a YouTube search, I found this:

It seems like wolfking1981 edited together concert and video game footage with audio from the original music soundtrack (according to some acute comments).  For more Faye Wong, check this out (but don't mind the tv-show host doing the backing vocals).

Now go watch the Criterion Collection version of Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express.

That was the US trailer.  See an additional trailer here.

Have you seen these Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, and Paul Thomas Anderson montages?
