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.

little odessa (1994)

this boring movie is about a jewish family. the jewish dad is a douche, the jewish teen thinks he's a badass, jewish mom has cancer, jewish teen's brother is in the mafia. the brother is a bit of a douche too. i feel really lazy describing the plot of the film but this movie was so boring i don't want to elaborate on it.

rip!: a remix manifesto (2008)

rip!: a remix manifesto is a documentary about the changing concept of copyright. we all know everyone downloads shit illegally. it's not that big of a deal anymore. i haven't heard of anyone recently getting in trouble for downloading some song off a blog or something. the movie did a good job proving that the system is fucked up. the system that is copyright corporations such as RIAA and the movie one whatever it's called. i LOVED when they showed footage of lars ulrich talking about napster. he was such a little bitch about it.

i'm still here (2010)

when joaquin phoenix announced that he was going to retire from acting, i was pretty fucking shocked. then again, i think everyone was but i was one of the few who believed that it wasn't a joke. sadly, it was. i'm still here documents his year as an aspiring rapper. there was a lot of moments that you could tell it was a fake. i won't spoil it for everyone. overall, i really enjoyed this film. some moments were kind of disgusting but it made you laugh. you can rent it on itunes for 6 bucks.
