afterschool (2008)

afterschool reminds a lot like elephant. the gus van sant film thats kinda boring at some parts but still interesting as fuck. the story is about a kid named robert who goes to a prep school. he's surrounded by a bunch of douchebags and his roommate is a drug dealer. robert spends majority of his time on his computer watching generic youtube videos and masturbating to porn. he takes up the offer on joining the after school video club. one day, robert is filming some b-roll in the hallways and two girls just stumble in out of nowhere bleeding profusely. one girl drops dead and the other one is struggling to stay alive. i feel like i'm explaining the entire scene so i don't want to spoil what happens next. the way this movie is filmed is fucking unbelievable. the acting is pretty solid too. please check it out though. not for the faint of heart.

bowling for columbine (2002)

i had to watch this movie for my sociology class and i have to say it was pretty damn good. the fat ass does a great job explaining how gun control in the us is pretty fucking awful. america is a scary place i guess. i think michael moore tried a little hard to prove his point by getting weird hicks to talk about their love for guns. i really hated how he attacks some people like the scene where he goes to the kmart headquarters to talk about bullets. he was being such a dick about it. anyway this was a good documentary. oscar worthy? i guess. i'm gonna move to canada now.
