If you have ever watched a movie, and had a burning desire to go see it again, you have experienced the phenomenon which I call, "The Extremely Good Great Movie Attraction Phenomenon." Whether it was a movie from last year, or a movie that is on right now, if it's good, I'll try to post the review up.
Clash of the Titans was a ripoff of James Cameron's Avatar. I guess it had pretty good computer graphics, but the story was terrible and the ends did not match up. I anticipated a dramatic war scene between humans and gods, but instead it showed a gigantic water monster getting killed in a matter of seconds. For those of you don't know, this movie is about a demigod names Perseus who sets on an epic quest to take on the god of the underworld. He endures on an epic quest with fellow men and embark on a journey of love, fear, and glory. This movie is fulled with fights with monsters such as scorpions and unusual alliances between father and son.
This week I decided to watch a classic, "The Truman Show". This movie is about a man named Truman, and his daily life at his home in a television set. Starting from the day he was born, Truman was filmed by hidden cameras all over the 'island', and the footage was released to the public. Truman lived like that for over ten thousand days, until he found out that something felt missing in his life. Later after he figures out the terrible truth, he sets out on his quest to wrench himself out of the director's bonds.This movie scared me in some ways more than a lot of horror movies did. The fact of being under inspection under a live cage got be thinking about what it would feel like if my whole life was a lie. Overall, this classic was fun to watch and I highly recommend it to you all.
District 9 is a very unique movie. Although it isn't the best movie I've saw, it gives you an understanding to how South Africa was and is today. It is about an alien race that gets stranded on the Earth. People go to investigate and later on the humans place the aliens in District 9 to live. District 9 is a classic ghetto, and the aliens there are subject to harsh treatment and no remorse. However, one day a man gets promoted to move the aliens to District 10. This process will change his life. A story full of action and science, this documentary style movie will hit you hard. Furthermore, while watching the movie, make sure to check the hidden symbols that are all throughout the movie such as the secret government organizations, and the harshness of medical experimenting.
This movie is bound to give your mind a twist. The suspense and horror of "Shutter Island" is so incomprehensible that you have to see it to believe it. In the deep depths of Shutter Island something strange is going on. Mentally ill patients who have committed terrible crimes are disappearing. Marshall Andrew and his partner Chuck head there to figure out what exactly is going on on this island. Filled with graphic scenes from the holocaust, and with disturbing imagery, this movie gives off its suspense and horror feel in a detailed fashion. Personally, although this film was to my taste, I do not recommended it for the people with little tolerance for violence. The psychological and physical torture it shows on people is not good for young children or teenagers. Anyway, have fun watching this movie and pay attention to the twist at the end!
The Saw series. These movies are a hour and a half of arm chopping, leg ripping, head splicing, organ removing, eye shooting, hair dividing, heart stopping, bone crushing, brain swirling, and tongue chewing bloodbath of violence. I personally respect the Saw series for lasting this long, but the plot is so horrible that it makes me sick. However, the graphics and the fascinating traps intrigue me and forces me to watch more. Basically, the Saw series is about an old man who kills people who he decides who does not deserve to live. He murders them through strange ways by manipulating fear and pain. Although you may never watch this series in your life, if you see one movie, you are obligated to see the rest.
I am not a big fan of animated movies, but I felt that if I was making a blog about movies, I had to talk about this one. "Shrek" is simply indescribable. There is something about this movie that cannot be put into words. The comedy, the intensity of the story, and the advance computer animations make this movie one of the bests movies in animated history. For those of you who didn't watch this movie, it is about an ogre who goes on a quest to save a princess in distress. If he fails, he will lose his home to a midget called Lord Farquad. Along the way he meets a talking donkey and many other fairy tale creatures. Join him in his fantasy adventure to save his swamp!
Anyone who has seen this movie will agree with me that this movie was an outstanding comedy. The physical and reference jokes made me burst out with laughter in my seat. The characters are diverse, ranging from a man who believes he is a pirate, to a rejected guy in high school. Although I have seen this movie at least five times, the jokes never seem to get old, and the laughter just continues. My personal favorite part of the movie was when Average Joes got plummeted by some girl scout girls. If you did not see the movie, the movie "Dodgeball" is basically a story about a group of people who decide to save their gym by competing in a national dodge ball competition. The team is not very athletic or talented, but we can see their development through outstanding action and comedy.
I am a guy who is passionate about watching movies. However, if the movie is bad, I have a terrible tendency to throw everything I have in my hands at the screen. I wish to cure this insufferable tic through constant updates of this blog.
