My Favorite Movies

Wonderful. Scary that it was based on a true story. This is one of Gus Van Sant's best movies. It is filmed very honestly and details a realistic day in the life of kids at an American high school the day of a shooting.

Weird fucking movie, but very damn cool. Kind of weird in the same way that Donnie Darko or Lost Highway is. I love it when characters start out seeming normal and as the film develops they get more quirky and fucked up. Definitely recommend this movie.

I am yet to have seen a Woody Allen movie that I don't like. This one was great. Full of dark comedy and excellent dialogue. At the start I was a little iffy about Jason Biggs playing the lead role but I got used to it. Christina Ricci was gorgeous and Woody was great as the crazed old advice giver. I definately recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed any of Allen's other work.

This movie was fucking intense, emotional torture is such a terrible thing and a movie that is about 100% emotional torture definitely makes for a compelling movie, may not make you happy though. It left me with the same horrible feeling as I got after watching House of Sand and Fog. Covers the touchy subject of paedophilia and child porn, so pretty much everything in this movie is in your face the whole time. The whole movie is pretty much two characters, only 3 other characters appear for under 2 minutes each. The creative team behind the movie made it so you sympathize with one character one minute and the other the next, never fully settling on one being the bad and one being the good. Great if you are into emotional drama with a touch of thriller.

Thoroughly entertaining. I also like when you are watching a movie that doesn't have a lot of big name actors, but you still know and recognise who they are when you see it, like people from the OC, the really stupid girl from Mean Girls, Shawn Hatosy from The Faculty and 11:14 and many more. Justin Timberlake shocked me at how well he acted, he stole the second half of the movie while the first half was definately Ben Foster's. Ben Foster was an insane cunt, especially when he comes into the part full of people he doesnt know and starts beating the crap out of everyone by himself and punches a chick in the face. Weird that it is a true story and the court case is still going on about it.

Wow. Just wow. Talk about impact. Fucking great movie. The fact that it is a true story makes it even more wow.

Has some great actors/actresses in it too. Brad Renfro plays Marty, Nick Stahl plays Bobby, Marty's girlfriend played by Rachel Miner and some of the other people in the movie are Bijou Phillips, Daniel Franzese (Damian from Mean Girls) and one of my favourite actors, Michael Pitt. The director is another of my favourites who has done some really amazing films like KIDS, Ken Park, Wassup Rockers and Another Day In Paradise.

With the exception of the hiccup in the plot at the end of the movie, this film was perfect.

Fucking brilliant movie. Fucking brilliant soundtrack.
