Great, innovative film. Funny even if it is about drug addicts in Scotland. Even the soundtrack kicks all kinds of ass!

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003,  R)
Kill Bill: Volume 1 5.0 Stars
The Bride kicks ass! O-Ren also is beautifully evil! Violent yet it is stylized violence...much like a comicbook...so it doesn't grose me. Definitely a good film...all about revenge. The swordfights are cool, the music is cool, everything is cool.

Kill Bill, Volume 2 (2004,  R)
Kill Bill, Volume 2 4.5 Stars
More a fan of Vol. 1 but 2 has it's moments. Like the snake biting Bud as Elle reads off the efffects of the poison, Elle getting her eye plucked out, and the pimp The Bride encounters to find Bill. The Bride getting buried in the grave is the best use of total darkness on screen for an extended period of time I have seen in years! A bit anti-climatic when it comes to killing Bill but overall a good end to the two films.

300 4.5 Stars
I know I am late to the game with this film....I didn't see it when it was out in theatres...and it is not historically correct....but DAMN this movie is cool.

The visuals were yummy and it was full of graphic novel looking shots. Yes, it is very violent but it is very "unreal" violence so I was able to sit through it without squirming.

I may have to buy this movie on DVD and I recommend it to anyone who likes action films, graphic novels, or really beautifully put together films since it is in a visual style unlike the style of most films out there.

Go out and rent it now!

Children of Men (2006,  R)
Children of Men 5.0 Stars
This film both awed and depressed me. It is a stunning film with lots of great camera work and a great storyline. Cuaron proves again he is a great director and is not afraid of taking chances when it comes to films. It had me a bit depressed because the world could very well become the world of the film. Definitely a must see....and it will not bore you with it's constant action and tension in the story.

Eagle vs. Shark (2007,  R)
Eagle vs. Shark 5.0 Stars
This film is funny, touching, and sweet at the same time. Clement plays a guy who is is emotionally 9 years old...in how he reacts to situations, people, and his interests. "Jarrod" (Clement) won't admit he is a loser, he is a champion of the world in his own mind Horsley is the girl who falls in love with him....and finally meets him at a party and starts a relationship with him after stalking him. He takes her with him to his hometown so he can "kill' the bully who bullied him all while growing up. Weirdness happens there and a bit of saddness as well. The film is very off-beat but also every well-done. I think we all know a guy like Jarrod and hope that the guy meets a person like Horsley's girl.

Atonement 4.5 Stars
A very interestingly filmed movie that shows how a little girl's misunderstanding of a situation ruined people's lives. The ending really is sad...and worth sitting through this slow-moving but good movie to see. It's basically a film about a child's mistake that ruins the lives of her sister and the man her sister loves...and how she carries the guilt through her life for something that happened when she was 11/12.
