enron: the smartest guys in the room (2005)


we've heard it all before. big company from houston gets busted for accounting fraud. ruins the lives of 29,000 employees. if you ever find yourself browsing on the wikipedia article of the enron scandal, watch this documentary instead. its kinda long like almost 2 hours long but its worth watching. it's like a horror film really. i watched it on a stormy night and it kinda freaked me out. maybe i'll get nightmares of enron ceos and traders. also, i was almost going to label this a fucked up film but i don't think it lives up to the fucked up film standards (i.e. sex and violence).

leon: the professional (1994)


pretty good movie. i liked it all the way up till they started playing a sting song at the credits. anyway, the story is about a professional assassin named leon who takes girl care of a young girl named mathilda played by natalie portman. her parents and her siblings were killed by corrupt dea agents. she becomes very close to leon. to the point where its kind of uncomfortable. like to catch a predator uncomfortable. let me make this clear, they don't do anything sexual. they're just very close...but there is still a sense of sexual tension. besides that, i enjoyed it a lot.

the shape of things (2003)


a fun depressing film that will either make you mad or make you cry. for me, it was both but hey it hurts seeing paul rudd getting the heart ripped out of him (not literally).

welcome to the dollhouse (1995)


i hated middle school. i remember passing time was 3 minutes long and i was always late to class. i got mediocre grades and the teachers were a bunch of twats. anyway, i could kinda relate to this film. its about a girl named dawn weiner who is in seventh grade. kids at school call her dog face or weiner dog and everyone treats her like shit. her parents don't really like her a whole lot plus her sister is a little bitch and her older brother is nerd with a shit band. she develops a crush on the most popular guy in high school who sings and plays guitar for her brothers band. the ending was kinda lame but it was a good film. its from the same director who did happiness which is in my top 20
