Most people know Christian Bale as the new Batman. Watch The Machinist and you’ll respect him in a totally different way.
Deep and Dark, kinda creepy at times and overall awesome. I say it’s a must watch unless you purposely avoid these kinds of movies.
Watched a few more movies lately..
CJ7
I had to watch this even tho I know it’d be so-so. The whole movie is anchored on the performance of a little boy, and an animated dog. Some good moments. I think the highlight is the last 20mins, which made the movie better than so-so. I watched a bit in Cantonese without subtitles, and then realize that my understanding of the language, is quite bad..
Fargo
Another Coen Brothers’ movie. Same style as No Country for Old Men, just not as dark. Some scenes are funny and sad at the same time. I liked it.
The Painted Veil
It’s a semi-Chinese movie. I saw INSPECTOR WONG in there. Otherwise a slow and emotional film.
I finished Silent Hill this weekend. I consider it an accomplishment, because it took maybe 4-5 sittings and I started watching maybe last Thursday. All that effort for a 2 hour movie. I think it’s gonna be hard to find people that sat through the whole thing.
Overall it’s a so-so movie, but it’s not at all like normal so-so movies. It’s got some awesome moments, plus some really crappy parts, all connected by lots of long boring scenes. And an ending that doesn’t satisfy.
I watched it for those awesome moments. Disco corpses are cool.
I Rate it: Some parts awesome.
It’s about greed and how it corrupts. I think knowing that helps with appreciating the movie. The soundtrack is also really weird and interesting.
Gotta watch more hollywood fluff to offset these dense movies I’ve been watching.
