    Saw II

    The only argument one can make in which this one is better than the first is the directing. The directing was more professional, looked better and simply more clean. The story was def worse than the first. Whats with gathering everyone together in that house? I called it about halfway...

    Broken Flowers

    From an initial viewing, I thought the film was boring, very slow, and extremely dull. Bill Murray plays his typical role of a man detached from society. The question everyone has is who Don's son is, who the mother is or whether he even has a son. After letting the movie lull in my mind...

    Brokeback Mountain

    If you take the film for whats its worth, be mature about it, putting all issues aside, it was good movie. It was well directed. It leaves an impression. It was a powerful and moving film. Im glad it didnt win best movie because it definitely wasnt but it was a respectable film. The...

    Am I alone on this when I say that the saddest scene in the movie is the one with the horse in the oil fields??

    Batman Begins

    Christophe Nolan really hit it off with this one. Everything was on point. Im a huge Batman fan and this one was hands down the best Batman movie. Christian Bale's performance was mindblowing considering he had to gain about 50 pounds for the role. The story was well told, the death of...

    V for Vendetta

    This movie was AMAZING. Great action, great story, and awesome acting. The dialogue and symbolism were superb. You leave the theater and V's words really stick with you. I understand that Hollywood was to keep a balance between good and bad movies. Recently ive been dissapointed with the...

    Walk The Line

    A very good film indeed. I love how they showed what a dark person Cash really was and how his childhood deeply affected him. Witherspoon and Phoenix alike were amazing together. Ive seen the actual footage of him playing at the prison and the movie portrayed that perfectly. From the crowd to...

    The Counterculture Canon

    Despair, blindness and oblivion can be the new countercultures. People nowadays would rather watch someone else live their life on tv than live their own. People dont stay still for long enough to know what the hell they are. More people vote for an american idol than they do for the president...

    The Counterculture Canon

    Novella, I am intrigued by that genre of books or that era of literature. These books are def not dated and absolutely affect and move people nowadays. The hardest part is exposure. I feel like people shy away from these type of books due to the perceived notion of hippie/druggie non...

    Charles Bukowski

    Just finished Post Office and now onto South of no North What I love most about Bukowski is how he doesnt really explain anything; he simply describes it. He can describe a situation or occurrence very precisely which in turn stimulates ur mind to actually think or envision his words. Post...

    Memoirs of a Geisha

    Havent read the book but the film was garbage in my opinion. Im a guy it was excruciating for me to watch it til the ending. I feel like its definitely aimed at the female audience. Dont get me wrong it was well made and visually captivating but it just didnt do it for me.

    Jarhead

    Good film. You cannot go into it expecting explosions and countless deaths. There arent any. A very profound film with great symbolism. Presents alot of emotion coupled with great acting. Welcome to the Suck.

    Who is your all-time favourite movie star ??

    Johnny Depp. He plays the most amazing roles and always manages to stay out of the tabloids. His talent on screen is mindblowing.

    Charles Bukowski

    Charles Bukowski flows. His style is so smooth and written in everyday language. There is definitely deepness in his writing intertwined with tons of comedy. I really enjoy reading Bukowski material. I love how he is brutally honest and portrays the male very precisely. What are some of...

    An Age That Bends the Truth in a Million Little Ways

    I believe this is a must read for everyone. I believe a lot of books and articles are "blurring the lines between fact and fiction" nowadays. This isnt just another article about James Frey's admission, its an analyzation of embellishments of the truth in literature and in society...
