A few awesome directors

Here's a few awesome modern directors who'se work you should be watching.

Kim Jee-Woon

Directed:
                                                        I Saw the Devil
 An insane movie about a man on the trail of revenge against the serial killer who killed his pregnant wife.

                                                      A Bittersweet Life
 A movie about the workings of the korean mob and one of the enforcers who gets turned on by his own people.

                                                      A Tale of Two Sisters
 A chilling horror / psychological thriller movie about a young girl who returns to her home with her sister after something horrible happened to them.

Park Chan-Wook

Directed:
                                                Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
 A blood-curdling movie about a man who kidnaps a young girl to pay for his sisters surgery and how it all goes horribly wrong.

                                                               Oldboy
 What is now considered a modern classic, this movie is a must-see. The story is of a man locked into a room for 15 years with no knowledge of who the perpetrators are or why they are doing it, then he's released and has 5 days to get his revenge.

                                                    Joint Security Area
 An amazing movie about the murder of two north korean soldiers on the border between both koreas and the investigation into it.

Paul Thomas Anderson

Directed:
                                                         Boogie Nights
One of my favorite movies ever, this masterpiece needs no introduction. Go watch it.

                                                     There Will Be Blood
 Sporting one of the best performances in recent memory by Daniel Day-Lewis, this movie is one of the best character studies ever made.

                                                               Magnolia 
 A beautifully shot movie about seemingly unrelated lives that become intrically related, this movie is a must-see for any movie lover.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the most profitable movie of all time earning a 6150% return on investment.

                               

This movie made over $368.7 million worldwide, becoming one of the top romantic films of the 21st Century with just a 5 million dollar budget. It was even the fifth highest grossing film in 2002. I find this shocking.

Colin and Nick's Top 5 Movies of the Last Decade

So these are our favorite movies from 2000-2010, we were going to do in January but we are just so lazy.

                                        Nick's top 5

                                                 5. Gangs of New York
An awesome movie about the gang rivalries in New York in the 1860s. My 2nd favorite Scorsese movie (after Taxi Driver), Daniel Day-Lewis gives, I think, his best performance ever in this, completely overshadowing Leonardo DiCaprio.



                                                      4. Inception
 My favorite film of 2010, this movie was extremely intense to watch in theaters, the effects were amazing throughout the movie but really its the whole concept of going in the dreams I found really interesting. The music was also pretty intense.



                                                      3. Gladiator
 Amazing action, acting, music, story and cinematography. What would you want, to be entertained?



                                                  2. American Psycho
 An amazing satire on the 80's ''Wall Street'' attitude, this movie is both hilarious and insane. Christian Bale gives the performance of a lifetime in an incredibly entertaining movie.



                                                     1. Donnie Darko
 My favorite movie of all time, nevermind just the last decade, this movie encompasses the life of a teenager living a bizarre and fragile life. Getting the occasional visit from a giant bunny, he delves deeper into madness while retaining a seemingly normal teenage life. Jake Gyllenhaal's best performance , this film is a must-see.



                                                 Colin's top 5

                                                  5. This is England
 An amazing and very underrated movie about the racist neo-nazi skinhead subculture of England. Stephen Graham (Snatch, Boardwalk Empire) gives one of the best performance of any movie I've ever seen. The music is also fantastic



                                                      4. City of God
 A stunning movie about the ghettos and life in the City of God, the most insane thing about this movie is that it's all based on a true story. Violence, drugs, love and good music, this film could be about rock and roll but its about The violence and corruption of Brazil.



                                             3. No Country for Old Men
 One of the Coen brothers' best movie, this film is intense from the start till the end. The cinematography is thrilling and beautiful throughout, the lack of soundtrack just adds to the intensity and reality of the movie. The three main actors all also give stunning performances.



                                               2. Let the Right One In
 An extremely beautiful and disturbing movie about the relationship between two outcasts of society, a young bullied boy and a vampire who has kept her body for a very long time. The acting, cinematography and music are all done to perfection in this must-see movie.



                                                       1. Oldboy
 A masterpiece beyond comparison, this movie kept me on the edge till the end. It's hard to choose a favorite among the Vengeance trilogy (sympathy for mr.vengeance and lady vengeance are the others) but this one has so many memorable scenes and moments that it's too hard not to put it at #1. The soundtrack is also one of the best I've ever heard.

Korean movies you should be watching

Oldboy
 The second of the vengeance trilogy by Park Chan-Wook and definitely the most awesome, this is the best non-american movie made since the city of god. A story about a man who gets locked in a room for 15 years and when he gets out, seeks revenge.



The Chaser
An awesome movie about a pimp whose prostitutes start getting killed and he sets off to find who's responsible


Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
The first of the Chan-Wook's Vengeance trilogy, the story is about a kidnapping that goes horribly wrong.


The Good, The Bad and The Weird
A very fun korean western, modeled after the good, the bad and the ugly. You will never get bored during this movie

Top 5 Badasses of Television

                                                    5. Mr. Eko ( Lost )

 The toughest nigerian on a plane from australia full of americans, this man owned the island from the second he got there. While others ran from the monster he scared it away just by staring at it.

                                             4. Vern Schillinger ( Oz )

 Leader of the neonazis of Oswald Penitentiary, this guy is impossible not to adore with his dark humor and merciless attitude.

                                                 3. Ryan O'reily ( Oz )
 Without being a part of any of the gangs of the prison, he still managed to not only survive, but pretty much own the whole prison by himself. He's ordered more hits than Michael Corleone without ever being suspected. He's also irish.

                                                2. Omar Little ( The Wire )

 He robs drugdealers in his dressing gown while eating honey nut cheerios.

                                                1. Walter White ( Breaking Bad )

Though far from the toughest of the 5, what makes Walt so badass is that he started as a weak chemistry teacher with cancer and is slowly becoming the Scarface of New Mexico, all the while no one knowing his true identity.


Honorable mentions: Hank ( Breaking Bad ), John Locke ( Lost ), Al Swearangen   ( Deadwood ) , Jack Bauer ( 24 ), Chris and snoop (The Wire)

Harry Potter 7 review

I just watched Harry Potter 7 with my friend Colin.

This movie was horrible, I dont even understand how bad this is. From the first scene it was trying to set some regime status on us which was laughable. The ginger kid ron looked built and Harry still looks like a 13 year old.
You cant see it on here but he does look bigger, I figure anyones too embarrassed to post it, yeah its that pathetic. They also added some stupid dance scene with Harry and Hermione when Ron left were Harry tries to flirt with her while they dance and some music is playing. Its just stupid.
Btw this movies time sequence is too fast, you cant enjoy the movie. All in all, some idiots were laughing through out the movie at the jokes designed for idiots. I sat there blankly, still I watched.

I hope you enjoyed my blog post, I know Colin wont.

Season of the Witch Review


So yesterday we went to the theaters with no plan on what we would watch. The only movie we hadnt seen in the list was Season of the Witch, knowing about the horrific reviews, I still felt we should watch it because of Stephen Graham (Snatch, This is england) and Robert Sheehan (Misfits). After about 10 minutes, I thought to myself  "this might just be the worst movie I've ever seen", but then came the pristine moment I had been waiting for to save this movie from a black hole of shit, it was the Harvey's burger I had snuck into the theater, still hot from the package, I sunk my teeth into it with such anticipation yet did not want to finish it too fast for fear of depression. The combinations of all the sublime vegetables and the perfectly cooked meat was just too much for me. Unfortunately the burger sensation had to end and I had to go back to the movie. Then I fell asleep.

Top 5 movies of the year by Colin and Nick



Colin's top 5

5:   The Social Network


















One of the main reasons I liked the social network so much is because of how bad I thought a movie about facebook would be, especially with Justin Timberlake. Then the great reviews came in, so I went to see it and was pretty amazed, great dialogue, cinematography ( expected from david fincher ), acting ( even from justin timberlake) and even the plot kept me interested till the end

4:         Toy Story 3











Not much to say, Im not much of an animated movie fan but I always liked the first toy story as a kid and this one didnt disappoint.

3:    Inception


















Though it wasnt perfect, I really enjoyed Inception because of how epic it felt. This is really what cinema should feel like. It was like seeing The Matrix for the first time in theaters except for a stronger cast yet weaker effects and story

2:    Shutter Island


















I really loved this movie and view it as one of Scorsese's best for so many reasons, yes the twist was easy to guess but that was the point of the movie, everything came together so well. Great direction, great acting by the whole cast, even the minor characters were very well acted, great music and cinematography make this a must-watch.

1:     Black Swan


















Ive always loved Aronofskys work since I watched requiem for a dream and Pi, so I was really anticipating this movie and to my surprise It was even better than I would have thought. Portman gives the performance of the year, the camera work is absolutely stunning and it has the best score of the year.

Almost made the list : True grit, 127 hours, Let me in, How to train your dragon, Kick-ass

Nick's top 5


5:       Machete













Machete, mystery,suspense,action, adventure and using someones guts as a rope. Need I say more?


4:   Shutter island


















Enticing and engaging are words you can use to describe this movie, but i'll only use one, epic. This movie blew my mind on so many levels I was literally foaming at the mouth.


3:   Black Swan


















This movie was fantastic on many levels, I dont think another movie has done a better job of showing the absolute best and worst in a single person as well as this one did.


2:     Social Network













The social Network was a great movie, from the first scene I was pulled into the movie and felt as if I were actually there. I dont know how much of the story was true but Jesse Eisenbergs performance makes it worth seeing in any case.


1:    Inception













Inception was definitely my favorite movie of the year for so many reasons. First of all the cast was really good, the music fit the movie perfectly and the special effects were insane, most of all because of how little of it was done by computer.

Almost made the list: True grit, daybreakers, the fighter, scott pilgrim
