Let me start off by saying, Shannyn Sossamon is beautiful! Gawd damn she’s hot! I got this movie because i was kind depressed and thinking about killing myself. (not really) but i was kinda depressed. I picked it up cause there were some good reviews on the DVD jacket. And obviously, i’m a fan of Miss Sossamon.

The movie is really good. It’s very creative and i recommend it. It’s a modern take on “defending your life.” It’s a cooler version of that afterlife movie. If this movie was just a black comedy, i don’t think i would like it very much. But, wristcutters is a love story. It’s about falling in love and losing love.

The cast is brilliant. Everyone acts their part and acting it A class. The directer does a great job setting up the scene and letting the story move forward.

Thumbs up!

If you loved “before sunrise & before sunset” you’re probably going to link this dialogue rich movie. 2 days in Paris was a surprising film written and directed by julie delpy. I didn’t realize how talented she was. The script is amazing. I love dialogue rich movies. Of course, the dialogue has to be real and engaging. I rented this movie without any expectations. I just felt like watching a relationship flick or chick flick. But this movie is much more then a chick flick. It’s a smart film about relationships.

Most films follow a basic formula. This movie is structurally sound, but it’s quite original. I could totally relate to the stupid arguments that these two characters were having. The insecurities and self doubt of every day relationships is represented well in this movie. I was in a few inter racial/ inter language relationships. I understand how conversations can lost in translation. I know how it feels to be in the outgroup when meeting friends or family.

Thumbs up!

Why did i get married is the first drama film written and directed by Tyler Perry. Let me start off this post with a question. Why did i watch this movie? I guess because i recently got married and i thought i’d give this “black” movie a chance. To be honest, i’m not a fan of Tyler Perry. I don’t understand why his movies make so much money. I guess white people love watching black men in drag.

I actually like relationship movies. I even like “black” movies. I enjoyed “boys in the hood” “the wood” and “the best man.” I even liked “for love and basketball” and “brown sugar.” But this movies was bad. I blame the writing and i blame the directing. Most of all, i blame the bad acting. The only actor i enjoyed in this movie was the guy who was in “cool running.”

The movie is overacted by it’s “icon” star, janet jackson. None of the chracters are likeable and i didn’t care any of them. The movie is corny. If they changed the script and changed up the actors, it might not be that bad. I don’t think Tyler Perry should act anymore. Unless he dresses in drag for the white fans, he really has no business acting.

Four married couples meet once a year to talk about relationships. Janet’s character is a writer and she wrote an award winning book based on the relationship of her friends. This movie is like a bad episode of Oprah. No, it’s a bad episode of Dr. Phil.

They should rename this movie to “why would you want to watch this movie?” Thumbs down, way down!

What a god awful movie this was. I just finished watching this sorry excuse for a movie. I can’t believe so many actors wanted to be in this movie. Granted, non of them are A listers, but still. I’m thinking Forrest Whittaker took this role before he won his Oscar. This movie was hideous. The story didn’t flow and i was left watching 10 mins of the movie over and over again. I wasn’t even curious about who the shooter was. What was the point of this flick? Save the president? Honestly, i wouldn’t mind if the president got shot. It’s not like back in the day of JFK. I don’t think the country would mourn that much if Bush got shot.

Not worth watching. Thumbs down! Way Down!

This Showtime Original TV series is pretty amazing. I rented the first season of The Tudors because i got interested in Henry the 8th. My interest sparked because i saw “The other Boyln girl.” I couldn’t resiste Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johansson. Anyway, on the bonus disk of “the Tudors” there was the first episode of Californication starring David Ducovny. I thought the writing was solid and the actors amazing. I like the daughter in the movie. She’s not annoying like most child actors. His wife and his wife’s boyfriend’s daughter are hot.

If you like witty dialogue and good acting, you should check this series out. Watch it on showtime or rent the whole first season on dvd.

When you watch movies, you see a lot of the actors and actresses wearing cool glasses. You think that those glasses are super expensive. Glasses similar to those can be bought online at inexpensive prices. If you go to zennioptical dot com, you’ll find a wide variety of affordable glasses. They have Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni, Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni, and Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses.

Into the Wild is a movie directed by Oscar winning actor Sean Penn. The movie is about the life of Christopher McCandless. It chronicles his voyage into the wild of Alaska. The film features an all star cast. The movie talks about issues of human greed and decadence. It is a critique of modern society. The film is very deep and inspirational and touching. Emile Hirsh, who plays McCandless does a great job in this movie. I’ve seen him grow up from “The girl next door” to “Lords of Dogtown.” He was always a teeny bopper but he shows off his acting chops with this flick.

This movie is not for popcorn. You can’t just grab a bag of chips and digest this one. You have to be in a certain mood to understand it. Being an unsatisfied guy in his late 20s or early 30s, i was able to take some things to heart. I want material success, but at the same time, i know that won’t satisfy me either. I want to go to Walden Pond and be a Walden Baby. I want to grow as a human being and be more spiritually in tuned with my natural surrounding.

Anyway, this movie is a thumbs up for me. Watch it when you are in a thinking mood.

Iron Man was a great movie because of Robert Downey Jr. Great casting makes great movies so who will be apart of the Avengers? Already we know Samuel L. Jackson will play Nick Fury. Who will play Thor? The rumor is that Brad Pitt will play him but I am not sure he is going to do it. A great choice but will Brad Pitt really want to play second fiddle to Robert Downey Jr.? Robert Downey Jr. is no Clooney. Pitt would be the perfect fit because he already played Achilles in Troy. Captain America has to be a All-American Hero…..I am thinking Paul Walker or Ryan Reynolds. Finally who will play Ant Man….That is right Ant Man. He has the amazing powers of a…….ant…..right…….Actually Ant Man is one of the main members of Avengers and the rumor is that Matthew Mc…(The guy in Fool’s Gold) is rumored to be in the running. Anyway I can’t wait!!! Hope they don’t fuck it up….like they did with the Matrix.

Happiness stars an indie style all star cast. The film features Phillip Seymore Hoffman as a shy pervert. The lives of all of the characters are inter mingled. The characters all seem to escape happiness. It’s an examination of how shitty life really is. The outwardly perfect couple in the movie is the worst off. The film is pretty long but each story line moves smoothly along so the viewer doesn’t really notice. It’s a black comedy that should be viewed by mature audiences. The theme of abnormal sex is a motif through out this film. The movie seem Freudian. Sexual tension and sexual frustration is what makes these people so dysfunctional. It was pretty cool watching Phillip Seymore Hoffman play a character he knows how to play best. He plays the loser perfectly. His character is both sad and creepy. Everything about him is creepy and disgusting. Bravo Hoffman. Thumbs up!
