Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

Wasted my time

[1/10 · 4 October 2012]

The acting in this movie is non-existent. Except for Edward Norton and Bruce Willis' performances who actually have some inflections in their voice and an array of facial expressions the other protagonists have an a constant look of -_- . The lines aren't convincing, the scenery is bland, the colour filters have a constant p1ss-yellowish tinge. First 10 minutes of the film aggravated me to the point of actually voicing my frustration out loud in my room.

I don't usually write reviews for movies, but this one is just retarded. It was like listening to school yard chat or pensioner home banter. Take your pick, but don't waste your time with this dribble.

The Grudge (2004)

The Best Horror Movie I've seen

[10/10 · 17 January 2005]

I'm writing this after seeing The Grudge on multiple times. I must say I've seen it first in a Sunday morning at 3am, and I must say that, since that fateful morning, like 3 weeks ago, I've remained paranoid of dark corners in my room. The movie is about an American couple that moved in Japan for study. They are confronted with a "slight" problem when Karen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) fills in for Yoko from the Social Care Center she was working for. She unwittingly steps into a cursed house that holds dark secrets. The movie is a frightfest that reaches in the depths of your mind as sure as a surgeon's blade cuts on the line, leaving you so much as 2 minutes of "breath-catching" time. Very nicely made, the actors have been up to my expectations, and the "badguy" is the scariest thing to be caught on camera... I've had a perverse pleasure after viewing the movie, in the sense that I swore to god I wouldn't watch another movie if they'll come out with a sequel...but I enjoyed the experience it provided; it's not that I'm a scaredy cat... it's just that I'm afraid I won't live through it. My advice is don't watch it just so you know you've watched it, watch it in such a manner so you "feel" everything this little "gem" has to offer

DysFunktional Family (2003)

Funniest Stand-up comedian I've seen so far

[10/10 · 9 November 2004]

I'm writing this article after seeing the "DysFUNKtional Family" for the 15th time, and I must say that I still laugh uncontrollably when I hear what Eddie Griffin's mind "bakes". I've seen a quite a few stand-up comedian shows at my age, but I must say... Eddie Griffin "tickles the f!@$ outta me" to use his own words. The movie is a small summary of his tragic life... growing up without a father, being raised by his mother and uncle Bucky. All of this would be true, if HE weren't the one making fun of it all, seeing things from an impersonal point of view... He pretty much talks about everything there is to talk about... 9-11 and the "Osama MFers", about sex, church, drugs, mother's unorthodox methods of raising him/spanking him... the thing is, the movie gets so hilarious at some point, I was beginning to wonder about how will I stop laughing after hearing so many jokes in such a short time... I sincerely recommend the movie to any person that understands English and the subtleties of the English language... I voted a 10 for the movie... amongst my favorites! "Think! It Ain't Illegal Yet!"
