New Rose Hotel (1998)
One of the best Lo Budget Flicks Out There(Cyberpunk)
Abel Ferrara directed this short story by william gibson,the godfather of cyberpunk culture and way of life..If you read the short story you would have a clue as to what this movie is about and you wouldnt feel lost about where everything is going to,the repeating of stories i liked because it was done differently with little skits being changed..If your into william dafoe,and most especially cristopher walken,then there is no reason for you not to like new rose hotel,they both play the parts well,this movie isnt about high tech gadgets and shoot em up and kill,its about espionage and corporations having the power and money to do what they want to do like now sord of..Girl has to seduce and enduce scientist in order for walken's demise to go down,dafoe is the younger brother of walken in the movie and asia argento plays the beautiful sandai,she is not known in the states,her father is the king of horror in italy dario argento,she has starred in B MONKEY,the only other film that seems to be available in the states.Overall if your into gibson and a real life view of what cyberpunk should be rent it,buy it,feel it,this is one of the best movies ive seen in a long time..One to watch alone ..
Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
Read the short story then watch the movie>>Matrix is FarFetched and blahhh!!!
When you go to watch a movie and have no clue what so ever what its about,most of the time your gonna hate it for sure..This film is based on the man who has been writing the best cyberpunk books ever to come out.He's coined the term cyberspace and talks about corporations and what is in store for the future..Well about that movie its basically a told story of a man named johnny who is a courier,but not any ordinary courier he has implanted inside his head a jack that can store lots of data.He is carrying a cure for the disease nas(another deadly disease like aids or etc.A corporation who has the cure is trying to find defectors who have taken all the data of the cure to be exposed to the world..The YAKKUZA is hired to retrieve the defectors and the data,but thats where johnny comes in..Not a great screen play but for its nature,its well thought out,not bad for a movie that was suppose to be black and white and less than a million dollar budget but turned into hollywood status overnight and began the movie..Brilliant costumes,sets,and actors playing roles ive never seen played before ..Good music and good fx..Matrix lovers should know that read all of william gibson's books and watch the matrix,farfetched plots are good but not as good as the future within our lifetimes..And seeing if the future is really about corporations and governments being in power,as they are right now,globalization i believe its called..Check out NEW ROSE HOTEL with Abel Ferrara directing the flick aobut gibson's short story from the same book as johnny mnemonic...

Vertigo (1958)
A movie that words cant describe!!Mysterious,Love,Death
I cant believe i saw this movie 2 years ago,when i was 21 and i was shocked i hadnt seen this movie years before,one of the best movies ever made in my mind and many others im sure,i watched it on laserdisc for the first time,remastered and thx added..It was delightful and mysterious,i rented marnie right after that and found that i had beeen missing the movies of alfred hitchcock..A plot that is so true and so mysterious and performances like no other,filming techniques and shots and scenery are just too real..For a movie done over 40 years ago it really still holds some power and beauty of what movies were..If your into lushious dark moody beautiful scores like bernard herrman who also did marnie,psycho,and dont forget his last score TAXI DRIVER,this movie is one to see if you havent already..
