greetings (1968)

greetings has no plot. none at all. it just shows 3 guys. one is shown investigating the kennedy assassination. another one is trying to get laid and the third one is a peep artist. basically he's like marty's dad from back to the future, a peeping tom. it was a really weird film. very arty. something andy warhol would make. it was one of the first films robert de niro was in. i wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this film if they're not into random as fuck plots. also the soundtrack was fucking awful. god you would think they would pick better 60s music since this was made in 1968.

(500) days of summer (2009)

when i first heard about this movie i had no intention of ever seeing it. i thought it was going to be another garden state hipster film yknowwhatimean. i ended up watching it yesterday on hbo and i thought it was a well written, down to earth film. it's not an ordinary romantic comedy movie. the plot is basically summed in the title. the thing i like about it is how it tells a story of a failed relationship. i really don't want to say what happens in the film but if you really want to know what happens SPOILER ALERT summer is a cunt.

I AM WATCHING YOU

choke (2008)

choke is a movie that tells you its ok to be a sex addict when in reality, you need to get some help. don't even try to give in this film because it based off a book by the guy who did fight club. bland storyline, mediocre acting, and a pretentious soundtrack. that is everything i do not like in a flim.

drag me to hell (2009)

once is a great while, there is a decent horror film that comes out. i'm sick of these remakes and annoying series that never seem to end (ex. SAW). drag me to hell is a good original horror film with a simple plot. christine is a loan officer with a cool boyfriend named clay. life is going pretty chill when an old lady comes in asking about an extension on her home loan. she could either give the old lady a break or impress her boss and kick her out. she ends up telling her she cannot help her out. christine is thinking oh yea im hot shit no one can touch me when suddenly the old lady comes out of nowhere and places a curse on christine. she had it coming. the rest of the movie deals with her life turning into a living nightmare. its a very interesting movie but i think sam riami could have done better. oh well.

this is england (2006)

this is england is a film about a 12 year old named shaun, who has a hard time fitting in at school and is always picked on. he meets a group of non-racist skinheads who let him hang out and join the group. they shave his head and give him some cool clothes to wear. things being to change when combo, a racist skinhead, joins the group again after being let out from prison. combo has ideas to change the group to be racist and shit and most of the guys are not diggin it. shaun likes his ideas so he joins him and they go to a white nationalist meeting. the rest of the film shows shaun's life with combo and the consequences that comes with it. i thought this film was brilliant. the storyline and the acting is very realistic.

a history of violence (2005)

a history of violence is a film that is not about a history of violence. the title may seem like you're going to a watch a documentary about violence but its not. WAY TO GO DAVID CRONENBERG.

tom stall (viggo mortenson) works at a diner and one day these two guys walk in wanting to kill him but tom is like ok fuck you and out of nowhere tom kicks one of the guys, gets his gun, and shoots both of them. one guy gets shot in the face. its very intense. tom becomes a local hero in his town and his kids and his wife are totally stoked about it.

one day, a mobster guy walks in claiming that tom's name is joey cusack. i laughed at the thought he was john cusack's brother. so tom is like yeah ok fuck you get out of my diner so they leave. the mobsters keep stalking his family a lot but eventually they have this showdown at tom's place and tom and his son kill them. it was pretty cool. SPOILER ALERT tom tells his wife that he was a killer back in the day and his real name is joey. she gets upset and they get in a fight then they start having rough sex on the stairs. it was kinda weird. it was very unexpected. the rest of the film shows joey kicking more ass with some mobsters from his past.

overall the film was decent. the first 10 minutes tom is going down on his wife. that was weird too. with a quick google search you can find that scene.
