Wow... I came back here.

Well, it was like a month ago, but I saw Summer Wars.
It was a pretty damn cool anime, it did have it's stupid anime stereotypes here and there, but overall it the art was nice, the story was cool... I mean, it's about a website.
How could I resist?

Probably one of my favourite movies now -- 5/5 plz.

I'm back in this guild BABAY!! Of course my love for movies will never leave me.
I decided to make a review of my favorite film of all-time (even though I have bunches of favorites).

Possession.

Made in 1981, starring Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neil.

I'm going to review it as a film itself before making my opinion.

This is an art-film that is disturbing and surreal and should be viewed with an open mind. It's one of those movies (depending on how you intrepret things) that may need to be watched repeatedly in order for it to be understood. There are hidden messages and metaphors that are in the film that may be hard to understand or find.
The editing is choppy and almost disorganized, making the story not make much sense and can be troubling for people. The acting is over the top and may give a headache, but it's unforgettable (especially Isabelle Adjani's).
The ending of the film is also hard to understand.

Now for my opinion.

I loved the way everything is put together. I think the characters were interesting and I think the actors did an excellent job. I also REALLY loved the story. I was able to get some of it the first time, but even with repeated viewings of it, I still can't comprehend the metaphorical aspect of the film.
Because of this movie, Isabelle Adjani became an instant favorite actress, and I loved watching some of her other films. This movie also got me into acting in general.

Overall, in my opinion, it's a masterpiece of work that will be misunderstood and underrated for the rest of its existence. I hope that people will find this movie and appreciate for what it is.

5/5.

Secondhand lions - rewatched it and I had forgotten how much I loved it.

Cabin in the woods - great movie, one of the best horrors I've seen in a long times.

Space Jam - A bit hammy at times but I enjoyed it as a kid and I still enjoy it now. 3/5

The Scorpion King - It has great action and it's very funny at times. These are the kind of movies The Rock should be making. 4/5

Piranha DD - Total Garbage. Worse than the first one, if that is even possible. I was gonna give it a 1/5, but the ending really got me angry to the point I wanted to snap the disc in half regardless of the fact that it was a rental. So this one gets a Definite 0.

Sinister.

Not very scary, but quite the suspenseful one! One of the better horror movies I've seen in a long time. I tend to dislike home movies for some reason, so this movie got to me at some points. Ethan Hawke and some of the other actors were very good. The twist in the end wasn't all that great, but it was worth it.

Overall, I liked this one.

3.5/5  

[The Bijoux]

Watched V/H/S last night. It was pretty lame...

Passion of Joan of Arc.

A silent film made in 1928 based on the actual trial of Joan of Arc.

I freakin' cried. Holy s**t. Never have I cried to a silent film. Never.

I was just watching it as it showed up on TCM, and wow. The acting, the direction, the film making, the soundtrack (which actually came out in 1995, and was playing during the movie), everything this film had was well put together. What gave me chills the most was the imagery presented, especially the torture scenes and when Joan was burned at the stake. Powerful, documentary-like imagery it presented in this film.

The story was based on a transcript of the trial of Joan of Arc, and basically the director made the film exactly like the trial in a documentary-like way. There were no changes for the sake of filming like most films these days. If you haven't heard the story, definitely look into it if you love European history.
The story, I think, was what made me cry. Just the fact that a saint had been trialed for something the church didn't understand. Joan did not deserve that kind of injustice.

This has become another favorite film of all time for me.

5/5

Liar Liar and horrible bosses. I laughed so much rofl  

[Mother Molly]

Suspiria (1977).
I loved it. It was so damn pretty, the music was incredibly fitting, and I have a place in my heart for 1970's fashions.
4.5/5

I like using this to keep track of things... bunch of horror lately.

The Ring, The Grudge, and Cabin Fever were fun. I actually liked the American Ring well enough and the Japanese Grudge (remember the American version being terrible?).

Killing Them Softly was good.
