"My name? If you knew that you'd be as clever as me."

This is a very engaging tale of one man's ascent in the fiercely competitive world of drug dealing.

Even in faded jeans and scruffy shirt Bond just oozes with class.

James Franco.. what can I say... he sure roughed it up here. Nothing really special about the plot, but a good waste of time nonetheless.

Equilibrium
My ending:The oppressed given the chance would become enthusiastic oppressors themselves. So goes the vicious cycle of the quest for power.

A cool movie about the torments of hell.

American Pop (1981,  R)
American Pop
One of the greatest animated films of all time. The saga of one family spanning four generations. Great soundtrack and sensational graphix. The ultimate mixed-media experience, truly a Ralph Bakshi masterpiece.

From the poster I expected this to be just another college-stoner movie but I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth and depth of the story. One of Marsden's better films.

Beautiful people juxtaposed with the dark side is so Tarantino.

GoodFellas (1990,  R)
GoodFellas
A garden variety gangster movie. Nothing special, once you've been sufficiently acquainted with all the bit players -which is approximately say 10mins into the movie; you'd pretty much have a not-murky idea on how's it going to end.

Excellent cooking tips though.

American Beauty (1999,  R)
American Beauty
I rarely ever go for dramas but this one's got me smitten. The shifts from one medium to another is just gorgeous. Dreamy dream sequences, regular footage and videocam clips just blend so astoundingly well in this amazing story of an otherwise regular family. The footage with the trash getting caught in the whirlwind is so ordinary and yet so iconic.

Lost In Translation
The bit where the director instructs Murray in Japanese with the translator summing the kilometric diatribe into a sentence is a classic. Outrageously hilarious. Simultaneously hilarious and a little disturbing since the translation was deliberately omitted. Oh Coppola, Faris should have stuck with good directors like her.

I've always been drawn to Edward Furlong-ish characters I guess so needless to say I was a goner the first time I saw Lou Taylor Pucci on film. Now I'm on the hunt for Thumbsucker and The Informers.

WWBD?

A classic in every aspect. A repository of some of the cleverest movie quotes of all time.
Oh so delightfully trippy and hysterical.

The 'stoners' sequence was particularly hilarious; men pretending to be women pretending to be men. Kinda like that Banderas chap from Interview yadi yadi yadi.
Banned in Israel, just thought of putting in that one.
