To help keep myself from becoming too bored recently, I have decided to do some serious movie watching. My most recent views were Cloverfield and Revolver, both of which are worth watching.
Cloverfield takes multiple cinematic techniques and adds them to a very old story to make a new and interesting movie. Many people that I have talked to about this movie have said that they enjoy it but the ending sucks. I beg to differ. I think it is a perfect ending. If you pay attention to the movie from beginning to end then you know how it ends. It was just nice to see an overly used movie premise done and a completely different way. I also suggest checking out the special features section. It really helps fill in any missed concepts from the movie and helps create a greater storyline for the movie.
Revolver is from the people that brought us Snatch and Lock, stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. I had never actually heard of this movie but it looked interesting so I grabbed it. Just like Snatch, this movie has a lot going on. There are constant scene changes happening that really keep you on your toes. The entire time you are watching it you get a sense that you know what is going on, what happened, how it happened, and what is going to happen next. The movie itself takes you on a journey into the human psyche. You pay attention to where you are going and then it drops you off in the middle of know where and you have to find your way back. When the credits finally roll out keep watching. The comments from the psychologists are very interesting and thought provoking.
If you haven’t seen any of these movies I suggest checking them out. I will keep you posted on the rest of the movies that I watch as I watch them.
