Sort of a movie buff and cult lover. And sometimes a heavy fan-girl [lol, it's okay to be obssesed sometimes, no?]
Let me just say this, I like how Flixster works, it sort of compiles all the movies I do wish to see never the less because I think I'm going to spend half of my life watching movies [It DOES help me a lot in finding more ideas...] But I just hate the fact that most people are using it to say "Hello how are you may we get to know each other?" just because you're so lonely and you, infact, have no taste. If you start that gesture I won't reply to you, because in here I believe in getting to know with people that I KNOW have taste, because I realise there are people who gets into Flixster just the heck of their love towards film. Dig? Go to www.sugardaddy.com , www.xxxtube.com , www.friendster.com , www.facebook.com , www.myspace.com if you are looking for dates. If I've helped you enough, now scram. When I rate, I mean.......: ***** = FLAWLESS! ****½* = Don't miss it! **** = That was very entertaining! ***½* = A great watch. *** = Just okay, really. **½* = Entertained, but instantly forgettable. ** = You could've done some improvement I guess.. *½* = What was that? * = Zzzz.......... ½* = Just sad. Interested = Either I'm dying to see it of it's just out of curiousity. Not Interested = Well, it's just is. I actually enjoy B-rated movies. One includes cheap modelised creatures or poorly retouched make-ups for zombies per se, and very poor plot lines. It keeps me sane, thinking "What the hell were they thinking?" And they're actually very fun to be mocked to. But lately i feel that I've been spending so much time watching B-rated movies that sometimes my head is B-coming [meh,.....] To me, it's not how very good a story in a movie is, no matter how CRAP of very simple the story can be, what I actually adore is how the execution of the story is, how they tell the story, the flow and the visualisation. If well, that's what make a very good movie. Of all the celebrities I've seen there are few people I'm just utterly disgusted with because they're just plain disgusting.. but don't ask. Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey. If it's okay please, don't copy widgets (Because I do find them annoying) or songs or video links to me...... I just like it clean. thanx. |

La Science des Rêves (The Science of Sleep)
R
Science of Sleep is the only movie I used as a lullaby for me for 6 months. Just hearing the movie makes me comfortable, can you tell how good it is then?
2.
Eulogy
R
You can tell how great this movie just by reading this synapse.. : After the death of a family's grandfather, the granddaughter (Zooey Deschanel) was asked to do his Eulogy at the funeral. Not only bothered going back to home town afraid of catching back with on-off ex-boyfriend, the granddaughter must face a reunion of an utterly dysfunctional family. Father, who is a cheap porno movie actor and a heavy weed smoker. An uncle with his twin boys who are extremely perverted and unmannered until the only lady left the family. A could be the only normal aunt, however, a lesbian. Another angry aunt who can't shut her mouth turning her whole family tacit because she's the only one talking too much in the family. And an often suicidal newly widow grandmother. Well?
3.
Dogville
R
Dogville is one of the most powerful movie I've ever seen! Along with the creative concept of stage art and it definitely showed the best revenge scene on earth! (And I was told the story was undirectly linked to the bible about kindness abuse, hmm) MUST WATCH!
4.
Volver
R
Penelope's performance in this movie is definitely appreciative. Not to mention the cleverness of the story telling how womanhood power can be. Slick and funny! A must watch!
6.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
PG
Got questions about the real universe? This could be it! (And I love it if it was!) This is one of the best British comedy ever after Shaun of The Dead :)

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
by DI was hoping the Journey to the Center of the Earth was a one time bad hit. Unfortunately it was not. This is the first movie I walked out of in my entire life.
It pretty much did all the wrong things the 4th Indiana Jones did. Ages the main character beyond usability, add a shitty son co-star and a wife that is a waste of screen space. Secondly, the Asian that is the boys love interest (wow did it feel forced) was unbelievable and also useless. The script felt dry, forced and tasteless. The action was so fast moving with little in-between that they pretty much crammed the movie down your throat. They really tried to make 3-4 hours fit into 2 hours (which was hard enough to try to reach the end of). Finally, Jet Li is in the movie for like 15 minutes even if you count him NOT in his human Jet-Li form.
The 'mummy' enemy has been overdone and overexposed. The "jokes" are really just horribly bad quips that we don't give a crap, then they throw Yeti's and all the other randomly made-up crap at you. You totally get the feeling that they had no real story, they just tried to see how much magical and mystical bullshit the audience would buy.
Judging from the ratings on Flixster, they like eating shit. I hate to say these bad things, because Fraser is my home-boy. I love his performances, but there is nothing left that was good from the first to in the series to bring to this. They turned an original and stylized character who was mortal to the feeling like you're watching a cross between a bad zombie movie and bad comedy. It's just so unbearable I can't even write anymore.
The only thing I hope, the only thing I pray for is that this is not the end of Brendan Fraser's usefulness. That is all I care about, I mean, Jet-Li sold his soul to hollywood. This we know, I've accepted this. But Brendan, I just don't think I could take that.Un-recommendation. It hurts me to say it. Why Fraser... why?

Alice, Sweet Alice (Communion)
by BrianThis was actually pretty creepy and well thought out, with a twist that I didn't see coming.
It's definitely something that could be remade today if the story was tweaked a little to be updated for today.
Paula Sheppard (Alice) gives a great performance.
Not nearly as over the top and campy and most other horror from this time period.Hey, you should really see this!

To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday
by BrianDVR'd this.
The film is only 12 years old and still it's like from a different, simpler world.
Total chick that is a little uneven, but the acting maks up for it.
Plus hilarious to see Freddie Prinze, Jr in what had to have been one of his first roles,
Cute -- leaves you with a good feeling.If you like chick flicks.

One Missed Call
by BrianTo tell the truth, this film is not majorly scary by any means, but I was still emgrossed in it --- it's fun to watch.
First of all, I love Shannyn Sossamon and will watch anything she's in, but also Sossamon and Burns had good chemistry on screen, I thought.
Yes, it's formulaic and very derivative, aside from the fact that it's a remake of J horror, but there's a popcorn flick element to it that makes it fun.It's fun and fans of Shannyn Sossamon will like this one.

The Honeymoon Killers
by BrianThis is the original film that is based on the Lonely Hearts Killers, Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, who would exploit women through the Lonely Hearts Club in the 1940s, take their money, and kill them.
The 2006 film Lonely Hearts is an updated version with Salma Hayek and Jared Leto in the roles, which I want to see now, but I wanted to see the original first.
The Honeymoon Killers is solid, but the truth of the lifes of the real people and the circumstances of the their upbringing and crimes is much more interesting than the movie lets on. I guess it had to be watered down for a 1969/1970 audience.
The acting iswell done tho and the film interesting enough, especially for the time.Hey, you should really see this!

The Dark Knight
by DSimply put, this is the best adaptation of anything anywhere into film. Up until now the only "villains" you have seen in any comic movie (let alone many movies made-to-date) has lacked substance and depth. From the opening scene of a Gotham crime in broad daylight to the final scenes we see a city that we have never really known before. Policed by comical figures and protected by a plastic suite wearing, bad one lining Batman. We finally (including the Batman Begins) have a villain that feels so eerily real you get shivers down your spine and a city so torn and chaotic that there are points where you feel lost and hopeless in your seat.
For me this was the best cinematic experience I have ever had, and would pay to see it again not out of boredom or "nothing better to do" or just to have another friend to see it with me. Fuck the friend, I want to see it again myself. The film itself is, in my opinion, flawless. The characters were cast to the T, the parts were played to perfection and the film itself, with seamless accuracy pulled the real sadistic and chaotic world of Gotham and made you almost live it in your seat. At almost every moment of portrayal of the Joker, it hit every note that I was looking for in who he truly is, on paper and in reality. He is psychotically thrilling and devilishly accurate (even for a psych major).
I can't say enough good things about this film, I really wanted to find at least one flaw in it, and every time I looked, all I found was something else that amazed me. The surgically accurate portrayal of a truly psychotic man that is only motivated to see the world burn, a Batman who really cannot find himself and the mind games between them. I really felt the hard hearted feeling for the long arm of the law of Gotham; almost so that it was depressing watch it. The movie had triumph, truth and tragedy. I have never walked away from a film so satisfied or surprised as at the moment I saw this film. It is the ONLY film in a theatre that I almost gave it the standing ovation, literally standing and clapping. If I had seen it in the opening week, I guarantee I would have, as well as many others in the stands.
The only criticisms I have heard is that the fight scenes are too quick or that Batman's voice is unreal. First, the voice is not unreal and believe it or not that's how it's supposed to be (whether his own naturally produced voice or modified in some way by technology). There's a reason police officers are trained to speak in deep monotone and commanding voices, it's a psychological tactic (read a book). Secondly, the average fist fight lasts less than 30 seconds (check your almanac). Finally I found both parts only to increase the mood and reality of the film. The manner in which Bruce fights or is injured is both believable and completely logical for his character, the same goes for the Joker. Much attention was paid by both actors to their speech and delivery as well as the directors conveyance of how the two battle (the Joker would never fight Batman one-on-one or fair). These only made the movie the flawless piece of work I said it was.
I was initially opposed to the probability of nominating Ledger. I have since changed my mind. Not that he should win, but I think it is impossible for him to miss the ballot at this point. Even if he had not died he would have a strong chance of being nominated, which would've surprised me had I not seen the film. Now, it seems inevitable based on his performance.
Enjoy!It may seem a little late, but I can't help but just want to praise the beauty and complexity of this film.

Anatomy (Anatomie)
by BrianThis is a strange one, because it came out in 2000, yet it has the feel of a movie from ten years earlier. Plus, I saw it with dupped English voices and would have rather have seen it in German with subtitles.
It's a decent poremise and has potential, but it's handled so lamely and ameturishly.
See it if you love the genre, or if you love Franka Potente (which I do). Otherwisae, nothing special.Nothing special. See only if you like the genre or Franka Potente.
