Scary Movie (2000)
Crying and Laughter, Two words I would associate with Scary Movie
Scary Movie is a very funny film that re-lights the spoof genre. Many recent spoofs have been a bit of a flop as the jokes seem redundant and very over used. However this film takes the Farrelly Brothers approach with using many crude jokes that include gallons of the Hair Gel in There's Something about Mary. The film mirrors the storyline of scream with similar dialogue but this is part of the joke. I think the target audience for this film is between 16-25. I would definitely advise anyone younger than 16 not to watch this, as it might be a little to crude. I think to increase the viewing pleasure of this film I would recommend seeing several films first which are Scream 1+2, IKWYDLS and the Usual suspects. The others will not make that much difference to understanding the gags because they are funny anyway.
This film features several young talented actors who are willing to make fools out of themselves for the films sake. The direction on the film is good but nothing spectacular, You just want it to be straightforward. My favourite Characters in this one has got to be Shorty and Doofy.
I was crying all the way through out this one, as it was so funny. I had to watch it 3 times so far and every time I have noticed a new joke as I have been laughing so loud in the previous showings.
(Slight Spoiler) The ending of the film is the funniest bit but you would have to see a certain film to understand it other wise it is wasted.
I would truly recommend this film as it is the funniest this year so far 9/10.
Phone Booth (1998)
Take the phones off the Hook because this is one Thrill Ride you don't want to miss.
Wow, I am having trouble coming up with words to describe this film, But I'll have a go now. The most amazing film with the right mix of action, comedy, love, and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end. I was very impressed with the direction and acting of Brandon Wee(All in a Night's Work. Brandon Wee's portrail of a Mechanic was breathtaking, Even thiough this does sound odd you will have to watch it just to understand the complexity of his character. This film has a twist that makes Usual Suspects look like a turn in the road.
All round excellent film. definite one that will be looked back on in years to come, They need to make more like this. 10 out of 10 Govenor
Fight Club (1999)
A Totally Amazing Mind Blowing Film
This film really blow my mid when i first saw it and had me thinking about the film for weeks, Not just what is in the film but the messages it is trying to put across. So I had to see it again and when I did I appreciated it even more as I could look over knowing what happens in the end. This film is my favourite of all time because it is amazing on so many levels. First there is the great plot of a young man's struggle with society and what he does as a reaction, second the acting which was just amazing especially form the always superb Edward Norton. He was very unlucky not to get an oscar nominations which he deserved. As well Brad Pitt pulled of some great acting even better than in Twelve Monkeys. The amazing direction that David Fincher brings to this film. Fincher in my opinion is one of the best directors around and is up there with Ridley Scott. Great CG shots are used in this film with many great effects coming out of the use of this technology.
This film has an weird and wonderful originality to it, which is also seen in Being John Malkovich. There are many great quotes form this film that will be remember in history for years to come. The film it self has already become an over night film cult classic. I would truly recommend this film to everyone, even if after watching it you dislike it it becuase it is a brilliant mind blowing film with just the right mix of comedy, action, drama and a twist that will blow your mind.
