I Heart Huckabees (2004)
Get me away from here, I'm dying
I can't imagine anyone finding this movie anything less than perfect all the way from the word "cocksucker" being repeated on and on to the business card saying "Cruelty, manipulation, meaninglessness". It was the most sublime combination of deep thought and ridiculous tall African guys.
I have searched for a movie like this for the past two years and now I wish I could get up two hours earlier every day to see it again and again.I don't know if it's really that good or if it's just that I saw it ten minutes ago but I definitely recommend it to anyone who's finding it hard to get out of bed and even harder not to.
Whatever Works (2009)
Unique to the bone
Even if Woody Allen wasn't my favorite director, even if I was a lonely elderly lady who watches nothing but bad TV about brothers and sisters sleeping together, I'd still love this movie. It is the 'perfect' movie, meaning that there is not one thing I can complain about. Starting with the cunning dialogs, the diverse characters and personalities, the ultimately variable mood of the entire reality and, I'm sorry I can't help it but I love this one- the message. It's not corny, not mediocre and at the same time not too abstract or too philosophical.
It's a must-see.
The Island (2011)
Not everyone's cup of tea
I went to see this movie with a pretty large group of people. Everyone liked the director's previous work, everyone had seen the trailer and was fairly excited for the film. Afterwards- 3 out of 27 people liked it.
I was one of them. The others were blindly mouthing things like "Complete trash", "so boring", "pointless". Although my simple solution to the question why nobody liked it IS "because they're idiotic", additionally I have to say that perhaps if you're someone who has never even asked himself who he is, just goes to the gym, hangs out, works and yes, goes to the cinema- then I'm sorry, not only did you not get what the movie is about but it was like the Forbidden Land to you.
The movie is amazing, it's just very different. And exactly this makes me completely crazy about it, as well as it makes most people dislike it. Yes, it doesn't even follow a strict plot, yes, it moves kind of slowly, but after all the idea is exceptional. It's not about cancer, or war, or love, it's about what's inside a person, how he identifies himself or more- how society does it for him and he's left questioning everything, from who his parents are to his daily mood.
Very rarely are movies like this made and I think it's freaking insulting and shameful to give it such a low rating, while some horrible BG movies like the disgrace to art Love.net have over 8.
