Films watched in February '08

honestly after seeing it the first time (i saw it twice) i knew this would forever be in my top favorite films, the characters are all hilarious in their own way and you can find a bit of your trueself in all of them esp. the teens. Juno has to be one of the smartest and most real characters we've seen in a long time, they castn the amazing Ellen Page well, aswell as Micheal Cera and Olivia Thirlby. Juno shall be a new classic

i don't even know where to begin with this film because my petty words wouldnt be enough to praise this film's geniusness. All 2 hours and 38 mins of it were more than worth it. I wasn't too familiar with Daniel-Day Lewis before seeing this film (having only seen 'The Bounty' prior) and now after only this one rivating performance he has become one of my heros. He embodies Plainview to his fullest making you want to like him at the beginning and then making up despise every bit of him. Paul Sunday the boy preacher was amazingly played by Paul Dano who's performance should have been nominated and praised. There isn't one element of this film i do not like, from the directing, to the cinematography, to the soundtrack to the amaizng acting, everything is genius and Paul Thomas Anderson has created a cult classic. Milkshakes for all!!

such an original story, this is a film i watch over and over and over again and never cease to find amazement in it. You fall in love with the characters because of the fact that they accept their faults, and learn to accept the faults of their family. This definetly deserved to win best picture because of it's amazingly well written story and the help of the directors and actors. The soundtrack is also genius. one of my favorite films

This psychotic paperboy has been in my heart ever since i saw it a few years back on the scream channel, it's both terrifying to see such a child so out of control and both funny at the same time. The only good acting in this film though comes from Marc Marut who does an amazing job of portraying the disturbed little Johnny. This film is seriously underrated

Definetely not as good as the first one but it was still very much entertaining, some of the comical parts were just plain awkard and you would have thought with such a superb cast line-up they would have tried to make it something even bigger than the first but just going around the world doesnt make things cooler. could have been better but you should definetly go out and rent it

probably the worst film i've ever seen in my entire life, the whole way through i wanted to shoot myself in the brains and run out of there. There wasn't even one aspect of it that was funny, it's a poor excuse for a film and i cannot believe people are allowed to make movies such as these, i'm not even rating it because it doesnt even deserve a half star

i love how the previews don't give anything away and i was blown away by what i was seeing when i finally watched it. It was a lovely surprise to find out that the story had been something so much bigger than what the previews were showing us. I truly loved this film, every character is likeable in their own way. Annette was absolutly fantastic in this so were everyone else. I must say my favorite character had to be Jill Clayburgh's she was just so innocent and lonely and i fell in love. The stories of these messed up families are very captivating and i highly recommend this film

this has to be one of the BEST modern horror fils, honestly all the gore and the fact that it's a zombie film just made it even better. Rodriguez created something so thrilling and vile it's a horror film buffs wet dream. The only parts i wasn't too fond of were the overly long dance sequence in the beginning and the sex scene, the film could have doine without, but nevertheless it's one of my fav horror films

This film wasn't as interesting as i thought it would be or as much as people had been saying, i felt bored at some points but nevertheless it was still a very good story. I love the story don't get me wrong i love the fact that they went out with only bags on their back on a motocycle and had to stick by each other through thick and thin, and their determination, but it was still hard to concentrate during parts where nothing much is happening. I give it points for it's acting and everything though

oh my goodness i cannot tell how much i am in love with this film, it has introduced me to a whole new genre of british mob gangster films. Paul Bettany is absolutly rivating as the no.1 gangster, i love the silent bits where you see him screaming but all you hear is a screech. And the menacing look on his face when he's murdering a foe. I still don't udnerstand why people don't give Paul more praise for his genius work. Paul Mcguigan has created a work of art and his finest moment in the film is the fact that he decided to show the most gruesome murder in the film from the victims perspective, that is pure brilliance!

A great film that shows the power of women and a very very young woman on top of that. Ellen Page was a fantastic choice for the role of Haley, just the un-sympathetic look on her face when she tortures Jeff (fantastically played by Patrick Wilson), the fact that she can make you feel bad for her adversary who might had been a molestor is just amazing. Genius story aswell

I was surprised by how good this film was, im usually not one for these type but i throughly enjoyed the whole thing. Bacon's character determination and change from businessman/family man to angry mass murderer is excellent and he does a great job at it aswell. Also the gun he uses near the near is so sick totally loved that

This film is not only about the Ramones but they are in it, which makes it automatically genius. Not only that though because it truly is a good story, and Riff Randell is totally one of the coolest characters to grace the big screen

these characters lives are so intriguing and once you get to the end you are wishing you could have lived more with them. I especially enjoyed the two son's. Frank is hilarious from the swearing to the mastubating he's is a loveable 12 year old and then these's Frank who seems completely lost in himself he doesn't really say the right thing at the right time and can be a bit of a mess up but in such a naive way. Both parents were brilliantly played by Linney and Daniels and you sympathized with them and were not able to choose which one you liked better.
great film

i hadn't even heard of this film before i caught it on tv and i was so amazed and couldn't find myself looking away. The story is so captivating i love the whole idea of the 'dandies' club, how they all these outcast teens found each in the weirdest way. They call themselves pacifists but love guns because of the power it has over them. the best thing about this story is that the characters look at guns as something of power but do not want to use it to harm anyone. From start to end this film is absolutly fantastic. Strong performances by everyone and amazing writing by Von Trier
