Lock Stock and Two Smoking’ Barrels (1998)

Archie — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:21:45 +0000

One of Guy Richie’s main references, this movie is definitely in my top 50 list. The action is about 4 young British lads, who make cash doing small time street scams. In their try to change their luck by entering a highly dangerous card game, they mix themselves with the town’s big boys. The action is changing very quick and you never know what’s around the corner. Follow the dialogs and the characters carefuly and you’ll find it all quite funny. I think I know some parts by heart )

17 Again (2009)

Deea — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:04:21 +0000

Definitely a girl movie. The message of the movie, as I understood it, is that everything happens for a reason and all you need to do is to keep your eyes open. It could be a movie about regrets and that you might wake up one morning and look back at your life and realize that you have missed some chances. Depends on your mood but I choose to see the optimistic side. Are you prepared to answer the question that this movie asks you?.“What would you do different if you could relieve your life?”.

Spread (2009)

Archie — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:05:28 +0000

This is a waste of time. However, some realities are featured which I found interesting. What I’ve learned from this is that you should not sit down at the movie and expect something certain, because in most cases you will be disappointed. So what I try and do, is find hidden meanings for the scenes or characters and try to find stuff beyond the obvious. Ashton Kutcher fits well in the role (along with the hot, naked chicks), but, to put it lightly, “Spread” is not a movie to watch over and over again.

4 Rooms (1995)

christopher — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:01:27 +0000

As the title suggests the action takes place in 4 rooms, in a hotel, where 12 guests decide to spend their New Years Eve. Nothing outrageous so far, nothing until a group of witches decides to stay in, a “game-loving” psychopath is “playing” with his wife, a dead body pops out of a bed and in the VIP room someone is betting with the “chop my finger” money. And all this trough the eyes of a terrified bell hopper, played by Tim Roth. Not such a common movie and yes, it is hilarious!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

Archie — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:57:06 +0000

You definitely have to be in a certain way to get your head around this one. Johnny Depp plays the role of a funky reporter and Benicio del Toro is his lawyer. In order to cover a sporting event and to find something known only as the American Dream, they head straight to Las Vegas. The trip is fueled by every drug known to man which they purchased and tucked away earlier in the trunk of their red convertible. In a nutshell, this is the adaptation of the psychedelic novel with the same name by Hunter Thompson.

The Hangover (2009)

Deea — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:22:56 +0000

It’s a delicious comedy about four guys and their bachelor party.”Some guys can’t handle Vegas” is so true. They wake–up after their first night in Vegas not knowing what they did the night before and if that wasn’t bad enough they lost Doug (Justin Bartha). Doug was supposed to get married in 5 hours so a race begins in finding him and solving the puzzle from the night before. It is incredible what stupid things they did and they didn’t remember anything. Don’t miss this movie.

Bedtime Stories (2008)

Deea — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:16:13 +0000

It’s a nice movie when you’re tired after a long day of work. It reminds you that dreams can come true. The main actor is well known comedian Adam Sandler. He is working as maintenance in the hotel that his father used to own. His dream is that one day he will manage the business, like his father promised. An opportunity appears and he must come up with an idea for a new hotel that will be build and if it’ll work, his dream will come true. Of course, the movie was not complete without some romance.

G-Force (2009)

Nicholas — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:17:04 +0000

When people can’t succeed in missions, they are sent to resolve the issues. They are small, but they are quick. They are hairy, but hey are highly equipped (feel the rime?). You’ll probably never think at the guinea pigs as special agents, but someone did. From Jerry Bruckheimer Films comes a movie that gives the voices of Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz to small tiny creatures. Made basically for 3D experience the production has the taste of a family comedy with not much artistic value.

Funny People (2009)

Nicholas — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:51:07 +0000

q: Do you actually use myspace? a: I fuck girls, I don’t have time for that. I think the saddest possible news in the world is to hear that you are dying and you know you are the best stand-up comedian in the world. Adam Sandler is the funniest thing in comedy movies. And he answered the q about myspace in his own way. This is a movie with smart but not “lol” jokes. And Seth Rogen barely points out in front of Sandler, a star in real life and in the movie, too. Prepare yourself for 150 minutes with funny people.

The Boat That Rocked (2009)

Nicholas — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:31:49 +0000

From the director of “Love Actually” comes a movie about a pirate radio that rocked the U.K. in the 60’s, a time when BBC played only 40 minutes of pop-rock music, a day. Good humor, fun characters and a lovely story, how the british would say, made a movie full of good music. This is a collectable piece of film and remember me to add in this collection the true story of “Cadillac Records” from 2008. Speaking of good music, you will recognise Leonard Cohen and Jimi Hendrix in the soundtrack.
