Sooooooooooo, what have you people seen and do you recommend it.
I've seen so many movies lately with the internet flooding with screeners for the oscars.
Good night and good luck. The best acting I've seen in years. It follows the makers of a talkshow in (I think) the 60's when the 'threat' of communism ruled people's lives. Its about a senator abbusing this threat and the news show that unmasks him for what he is trying to do. I have a hard time describing why the acting from the show host is so good but the way he looks at the camera and the way he 'talks to the people is really intense. Its political so not for everyone but i think it gives a good picture of the government and state of the US in those times.
Syriana: Another movie made by George Clooney's production company (good night and good luck is also made by them). Its about the oil culture and relationship between the US government and the middle east. Its not an attack at the current government at all but it shows some things that happen because of oil. Telling more would spoil it. Its a very slow movie but very interesting.
Waiting: For the american pie fans. Just good teenage fun movie full of pranks and weird charecters. I can guarantee you'll laugh over this movie. Best comedy I've seen in a long time. Its about the group of bored people who work in a restuarant. There's about 10 workers featured in the movie and each charecter is as memorable and crazy as the next.
Saw 2: If you've seen the first you know what to expect. Its more of the same but with even more gruesome traps. If you can keep your eyes on the screen for the entire movie without looking away atleast a few times your my new hero. Its about a group of people who wake up in a house with no easy escape and they have to figure out puzzles to get to the exit. If the puzzle fails prepare for some gory stuff. Together with the original these are the best horror/thriller movies of past years for me. If you can handle gore you MUST see atleast the first one.
Going to watch Zathura this weekend (by the makers of Jumanji).
So, NEXT!
