Lately I have been catching up on all of the movies I missed in the last few years [yes, it's summer break and i'm bored as hell]
There are some movies I have seen in the last few months that I REALLY HIGHLY recommend. These are some of my favourite movies and would probably be suitable for any ages here at Head-Fi. I'm gonna list them in order, and it's really hard for me to do this since I love them all a lot.
First off, the smartest movie I have ever seen, done in a film-noir fashion, and is expected to be up for a couple Oscars, maybe even nominated for best movie, and best actor (guy pearce, from LA Confidential) is simply my favourite movie ever:
1] MEMENTO - you HAVE to see this movie! I swear, you see it once, and you will want to see it again! A bit hard to follow, because the movie is presented backwards; as if you read a book starting from the last chapter and made your way back to chapter one. Very involving, very entertaining and has a lot of emotion. After you are finished the movie, you keep piecing bits of the movie together and discovering the real story. I REALLY RECOMMEND MEMENTO, cuz I doubt you will be disappointed, only a bit confused, but if you see it a second time then you will absolutely love the movie. Keeps you guessing to the end even though you already think you know what is going on. Very believeable acting and flawless editing. With a movie this complicated, often there are bound to be lots of plotholes. I don't think I could even find one!
Note this: Memento requires non-stop attention to really understand it.
This movie is recommended to anyone, and is truly the smartest most complicated and flawless movie i have ever seen. Pure genius. Do yourself a favour and see this movie. Then see it again.
2] USUAL SUSPECTS - filled with good performances, especially by kevin spacey as verbal kint, it won a few oscars and is a pretty damn smart story. Written well, and presented well.
3] AMERICAN HISTORY X - a very good movie that persuades you to look at things from all angles; has a good message underneath the violence and swearing that shows that it's wrong and ignorant to have racism, hate, and discrimination in your life; brings up some very good points; in-your-face visuals; edward norton gives his best performance yet. Tragic yet hopeful, this movie really makes you think, and is really quite inspiring if you get the message.
4] THE FIGHT CLUB - Very contriversial, very good performances from Edward norton and brad pitt; very stylish; very dark; has a lot of different angles; very entertaining; makes you think; not the kind of movie that your parents would approve of; not for everybody
5] SNATCH - A very entertaining story with brad pitt, benicio del toro, vinnie jones, etc; directed by guy ritchie; dark yet very funny and stylish. Good bang for the buck
6] REQUIEM FOR A DREAM - I never knew that Marlon Wayans could act. No, im not kidding , this guy is good! Requiem is a disturbing sort of tale about addiction of all types, addiction to drugs, pills, chocolate, and even tv. Ellen Burstyn really did deserve an oscar for this in my opinion, but hey julia roberts was good in erin brokovich too. Wanna get scared away from drugs? Watch this movie. [Note: It was originally rated nc-17, but was since toned down to a R so that it could be seen by more people and get oscar recognition, which it did. ; not exactly a family movie]
7] THE MATRIX - We all know why this is a good movie!!!
8] GO! - Stylish and fast-paced, this movie is very entertaining and often very funny, and pretty smart. too bad it was 18A, or else it would have been really big with the younger folks. It has a very hip cast and some pretty good acting. Has a sort a
Pulp Fiction-like setup- A bunch of seperate stories that somehow tie together throughout the story.
9] SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION - Very smart with great acting from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. I really miss these kind of movies. Very highly recommended for anybody.
10] SEVEN - Good performances from Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, and Morgan Freeman , and some pretty sick murders make this movie a winner. More creepy than scary, it really is a cool movie, but not for kids cuz of the gore.
I hope you guys maybe check out a few of these movies, and that you agree with me.
PS. PLEASE see MEMENTO, you will NOT be disappointed
Have a good time at those theatres!
