Movies - thoughts and opinions

[Simon]

I'm not entirely sure this needs it's own topic, but I thought it might be fun if any of you guys also wanted to do it.

So basically, this year I told myself to watch a new movie every week. And I'm going to write about what I thought of the movie ect ect. And I'll add the ones I see as I go along. I just decided to start in my dads movie collection (which is pretty big) and watch the movies I hadn't watched before. So far I've watched 8 new movies. I'll start from the top.

8 1/2
This is a movie from the year 1963. It's really hard to describe what it's about. I could say it's about a guy who wants to make a movie that everyone will like. But I think there is something more to it. It's really hard to describe though. And the look of the movie(the shots/the pans) was pretty much way better than I had thought about old movies. (Maybe someone who is more of a movie knower can help me understand this)

and on a final note on the movie, I still have the soundtrack in my mind.

101 Reykjavik
This is a movie from 2000. It's about a man who still lives with his mother and struggles to find a meaning with his life. He lives off unemployment checks, they are used for alcohol mostly.  They also have a tub in the kitchen. The movie is really entertaining and actually an awesome story as well. The language they speak in the movie is Icelandic, which was kind of fun for me because I would hear Norwegian words every 5 minutes. But I really recommend watching this movie because it's great fun with a nice story.

Love and Death
Here we go, This was the first movie I watched in my dads 26 movie long Woody Allen collection. The acting in this movie wasn't great, but I think that was sort of the point, because I've seen both actors in later movies and then they were great. The reason I think it was the point is because the whole movie was totally silly, with some weird ass humor. And with weird I mean fucking great. Also I like how Woody Allen portrayed death in this movie, instead of a black cloak he had a white one, which I think is great. Also the finishing scene is Woody Allen dancing down a road on the country side with  death, which is just great. Also recommend this movie if you can handle bad acting and if you have the same humor as me.

Manhattan
This movie was good, not super great, but good. For me it was clerks, only with a romantic and scientific turn. the whole movie they just go around discussing different things, but in this case it's life,death,relationships,art and movies (probably more as well) and it has it's unique (so I thought) relationship problems. (after watching more of Woody Allen though, I found he was the master of hardcore relationship problem thingies) It was a good watch, but not something I would suggest to many of my friends (seeing as they can't recognize a good movie without it being funny or scary)

Match Point
This movie is by far the best movie I've seen this year. It was just totally mind blowing. When I started watching it I thought it was just gonna be another basic love movie, but in the end I just sat there amazed. The story is so unique, I thought I could predict everything but I was totally wrong. And the acting was top notch, and of course you gotta love Scarlett Johansson. I really recommend this movie it's really really great and it was a crazy story.

Talking movies here is pretty pointless, 90% of the members will say Inception is the best movie of all times (including BeaT) and that Michael Bay is the best director in the world.

I'm usually watching one or two movies everyday, well... I did until I realized I've seen all long-length movies ever released lal (in the english language). And I usually watch every new release when it gets released, so I don't miss anything, even low-budget horror movies.
