I worked for the TV show based on the movie for a while. Both were manipulative and no bueno, in my opinion.
Just watched We Need to Talk About Kevin. Thought it was absolutely brilliant, one of the best films i've seen in a while. Cinematography was great as was the soundtrack which kept me pretty unsettled throughout the whole film. Really gets you thinking about the whole nature vs nurture concept.
Tilda Swinton should have at least been considered by the dipshit academy. I honestly found the ending a little cheesy though.
Keira Knightley deserves a Best Actress Award with this role, it honestly scared me.
She ruined the whole thing for me. Full person. Love Cronenberg, though.
Really well constructed South Korean movie about a former secret agent out for vengeance. Fans of Oldboy or I Saw The Devil would like it. Reminded me of The Professional too. Starts a bit slow, but the fight scenes at the end are gnarly.
I love Oldboy and thought I Saw The Devil was pretty decent, but I'm still having trouble with this movie. It's alright, but it just seems like a near-parody of what Korean cinema is now (revenge thriller). I need to give it a second try sometime.
Recently I've watched
Which I thought would be boring but was actually fucking awesome. Barry Lyndon doesn't give a shit. He's like a Spicoli of yesteryear.
Pretty meh. Some solid wish-fulfillment, but every time they spoke I wanted to punch them.
The last shot is amazing. The rest of the film is great too, but the last shot sums up everything about the Coens continous theme in an appropriate way: unplanned, nihilistic chaos at work.
