Article ITT I attempt to review every movie I've seen.

Yojimbo_%28movie_poster%29.jpg


Title: Yojimbo
Year: 1961
Country of Origin: Japan
Director: Akira Kurosawa

Story: Please reference: A Fist Full of Dollars.

Review: This darkly comedic samurai film is my favorite by Kurosawa. The stars of this show are both Toshirō Mifune who plays the man with no name and the cinematography with is second to none. Definitely see this movie.

[10/10]

Yeah, I've heard about them and have been hearing about them for years now. They're going to happen, but I'm still wondering if it will be in our lifetimes.

Title: Exit Through the Gift Shop
Year: 2010
Country of Origin: UK/US
Director: Banksy

Story: It's a documentary on street art...sort of.

Review: First off, let's talk about the director of this movie. Banksy is one of the most illusive and famous street artists out there. The thing is, no one technically knows who he might be. His identity has been speculated on, but it's all still speculation.

Anyway this is sort of a film about street art. It's also a film that is sort of about a crazy French man with a camera who would follow street artist claiming to be making a documentary...though he actually has no intention of making a documentary. The movie is slickly edited, entertaining and really damn funny. I recommend seeing it...even if it is just some elaborate joke.

Never saw it. I remember wanting to see it when it came out...I was seven at the time and a film about a killer gorilla peaked my interest. My parents went out to see it and all I can remember is how much they hated to movie. As if it were the worst thing they had ever seen. I never really wanted to watch it much after that...also I now know that it isn't about a killer gorilla.

Title: Jackass: The Movie
Year: 2002
Country of Origin: US
Director: Jeff Tremaine

Story: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBvaNe04UDw[/ame]


Review: It's a film about idiots hurting themselves. Scratch that...It's an entertaining film about idiots hurting themselves. I don't know why I like this movie, but I like it a lot...and lets just leave it at that.

[7.5/10]

I never saw the 2nd one.

Only saw the first one. But speaking of gory Japanese films that have something to say about society.


Suicide_Circle.jpg


Title: Suicide Circle (Sometime known as Suicide Club)
Year: 2002
Country of Origin: Japan
Director: Sion Sono

Story: People all around Japan are killing themselves and no one knows why...not even the viewer. Though might have something to do with J-Pop

Review: A strange film by Sono, well all his films are strange; so I guess this is a normal film. I've seen this film twice and I still have no idea what the hell is going on. I'm pretty good at figuring this kind of stuff out, but I really have no idea on this one. It's kind of entertaining and can keep your attention the whole time. Seriously though J-pop...stuffs crazy.

Moderntimes.jpg


Title: Modern Times
Year: 1936
Country of Origin: US
Director: Charlie Chaplin

Story: Chaplin takes on the modern world of the Great Depression.

Review: This is by far and away one of the funniest films I've ever seen. No, seriously, Judd Apatow has got nothing on Chaplin. The films follows Chaplin's famous tramp character as he struggles to survive in the "modern times". The story does a great job balancing humor and social muck raking. It's a movie that only clocks in at 80 or so minutes and I really do recommend anyone reading this to watch the movie.

Zodiac2007Poster.jpg


Title: Zodiac
Year: 2007
Country of Origin: US
Director: David Fincher

Story: The true story of a political cartoonist who tries to catch the Zodiac killer.

Review: This isn't like any other Serial killer film out there. Where most films will focus on the killer and his murders, this film focuses on the investigative side. We see the frustration and tedium of police work when working on a case where there is simply no clues and to many leads. It's both well shot and acted...frankly Fincher is the only director who could have pulled off a film like this. My only issue with the movie is the length and pacing which can make it a trudge to get through.

Original_movie_poster_for_the_film_Zardoz.jpg


Title: Zardoz
Year: 1973
Country of Origin: Ireland
Director: John Boorman

Story: "The gun is good. The penis is evil. The penis shoots seeds, and makes new life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was, but the gun shoots death, and purifies the Earth of the filth of brutals. Go forth . . . and kill!"

Review: Oh, Zardoz...what can I say about you? Well I can say it has Sean Connery, that's a good thing. I think they got him by just say, "well Mr. Connery through out the film you'll be surrounded by topless women." It's true to there are a lot of topless women in this movie. Oh, and there is also Beethoven Symphony #7 mvt II...I do like that piece.

Here is the thing, I actually liked Zardoz...but it's just a little too weird and a little too masturbatory for most people. So while I give it a 7.5, I'm going to give it a score where most would see this movie.

[5/10]
 
R-Point_film_poster.jpg


Title: R-Point
Year: 2004
Country of Origin: South Korea
Director: Kong Su-chang

Story: A group of soldiers go to an abandoned outpost where a previous group of soldiers went missing.

Review: Quick fun fact, there were South Korean soldiers in the Vietnam war...so that's something I learned from this film. This is a well set up film involving a squad of South Korean soldiers under siege by malicious spirits. In standard horror conventions the soldiers are picked off one by one. It's formulaic and not particularly scary, but it still has it's moments.

Paycheck_filmposter.jpg


Title: Paycheck
Year: 2003
Country of Origin: US
Director: John Woo

Story: Ben Affleck does a bunch of stupid **** and the movie ends.

Review: I like Philip K. Dick and frankly I'm tired of people doing half-a**ed adaptations of his stories. I swear the only good PKD story adaptations are Total Recall, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly and Blade Runner. Everything else is complete ****. This film is complete ****, I'm sorry...but this one is just terrible. It's a dull, disjointed, stupid action film that really didn't need to be made

[3/10]
