Yeah, that video accurately summarizes the description of Christopher Nolan with Inception. Especially Ellen Page who was heaping on the praise for Nolan and then admitted that she had seen the film and had no freakin clue what it was about. Though Nolan is by dribbling idiot.
 
Scott_Pilgrim_vs_the_World_teaser.jpg


Title: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Year: 2010
Country of Origin: US
Director: Edgar Wright

Story: Once upon time, in the magical land of Toronto, Canada...

Review: Opening with an 8-bit musical version of the Universal theme song, I knew this film was going to hit it's mark perfectly. Drawing influences from god knows where, possibly anime, video games, comics, the film is one of a kind in it's look and style. The tale comes off as a hipster romance film with a ton of Kill Bill mixed in for good measure. The resulting collision of story and style creates easily the most original film of the summer, it not the year.

I think it's late enough to call it, Scott Pilgrim is the best film of the summer. [/summer]

Because when I hit my teenage years my parents rung it in with the Ferris Bueller's Day Off and not the John Hughes movie about accepting yourself...if that means anything.

Title: The Breakfast Club
Year: 1985
Country of Origin: US
Director: John Hughes

Story: A group of high school kids from divergent social cliques are stuck in Saturday detention together. Soon they realized that they are deeper than they first appear.

Review: In my high school we didn't have any cliques. Seriously, absolutely zero cliques in my high school. I'm not entirely sure if social cliques actually exist. If they do...please tell me, because I've never seen it and I want to know if it's at all true.

So taking the above into account, I saw the Breakfast Club in my sophomore year of high school. Which means that the film had next to zero impact on my life. Sure it's still an entertaining coming of age film that is well written and well acted by the brat pack. It's just that the film is apparently more important to other people than it is to me. Though because of that, I'm going to recommend this one.

Oh, damn. Completely forgot about that one. I haven't seen it, though I've heard that it's one of those direct-to-dvd cult classics in the making sort of things. So I'll probably check it out eventually.
 
*cough* zombies *cough* dawn of the dead *cough* who hides in a mall?
 
I think Zach Snyder wanted to confuse poeple, I've only seen the newer one thats in the mall, not the older one aka Zombie

hey sexy, im not sure when exactly the whole social cliques started, but back when i was in high school (97-01), our hs had social cliques which definitely had interesting impacts on alot of people. so you didnt have social cliques, good for you. that means possibly less bullying.
 
Dawn_of_the_Dead_2004_movie.jpg


Title: Dawn of the Dead
Year: 2004
Country of Origin: US
Director: Zack Snyder

Story: A group of survivors hold up in a mall while a zombie apocalypse rages outside.

Review: This is Snyder's debut film and it's pretty good for a debut. It's an entertaining tale that sets out to do nothing more than to tell and entertaining zombie survival story. The film is populated with an interesting cast of characters and is well written for this type of movie. Along with 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead, this film is also responsible for bringing about the second coming of Zombie films.

[7.5/10]


*...and no I haven't seen Romero's original.
 
Oldboykoreanposter.jpg


Title: Oldboy
Year: 2003
Country of Origin: South Korea
Director: Park Chan-wook

Story: A man is kidnapped and help prisoner for fifteen years for no explanation. Once the fifteen years are up he is released on the streets and there is only one thing on his mind...and that is revenge.

Review: The send movie in Park's vengeance trilogy is by far and away the most well known and most well revered. There is good why Oldboy has risen above the other two movies of the series, it is the most stylized, has an over the top plot, and the film has one crazy twist ending. Still the story feels less grounded in reality than Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and as such it feels less poignant of a message. Still the film is well worth watch.

Another zombie movie, but this one has a zombie named Bub, Day of the Dead (1985 Directed by Romero)
 
Day_of_the_Dead_%28film%29_poster.jpg


Title: Day of the Dead
Year: 1985
Country of Origin: US
Director: George A. Romero

Story: Survivors to a Zombie apocalypse hold out in an underground US military base.

Review: The only Romero film that I've actually sat all the way through, I've only made it part way through Night of the Living Dead. Apparently this one is much like Romero's other zombie films...or at least the two prior to this one, in that it has a interesting social commentary to go along with the zombie and gore and whatnot. The film was initially garnished with pretty negative reviews, but over the years people have begun to warm up to this film and it's become a minor cult classic. Still, the film is far from the best Zombie flick that is out there and to tell the truth it's a tad bit boring. It's a film that I can't just flat out recommend, but if your a fan of the genre then I'd give it a look.
