Unbreakable (2000)
VISUAL!!
The greatest thing about this movie was its visuals. The colors in this movie really dazzle the mind. The main characters have their own colors and the scenes they are in usually contain repetition of these colors. It adds continuity to the film and gives it more of a comic book feel without dumbing it down to the level of a comic book. Aside from the use of color, the lack of color in some scenes contributes most to the mood of the main character. The greys portray the security guard's feelings. the shots of just willis's face and the dreary colors make this film stunning. I only saw it in the theatre, on the big screen. I imagine seeing it on my box at home will take away a lot of the mood.
the acting plain sucked though. jackson acted way too much for the movie and willis's wife just plain bit it. HA! anyhow, see this movie for its COLOR.
Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996)
Eh...
I was disappointed. I expected it to be a lot funnier. The show always has a wide variety of sketches and jokes, the movie did not. The show is always outrageous, the movie was not. It was actually almost tame compared to the tv show. Yeah, it was more explicit, but at no point during the movie did my jaw drop, much like it does when I watch the show. The scenes at the rock show were too long and wholly unfunny.
Good things: The scenes with the pharmy mogul and his yes man were very funny, I guess the kids poke fun at corporate life best (in the movie).
Bad: Usually the kids come up with great 'gay' humor. the gay jokes and the crossdressing were rather run of the mill and not spectacular. nothing new.
No scott thompson monologues.
overall: rent it if you're REALLY bored and/or a HUGE fan.
