Movie Reviews Well, I just saw a good movie. Now, I'm debating, wether to put this on the top ten. See, cause the first half isn't so hot, plus there's a lot of holes in the movie, at least in my opinion. But, it's still on the top ten for "movies that in the end hit you with a bang". Fight Club, the number one movie of all times, and number one on the "wow" factor list, is definitely (being number one) the best example. But this movie, hits you with a bang that you definitely wouldn't have expected. Now, sooo many people said that The Usual Suspects is such a movie. This was not the movie I saw, and I'll get to it in a sec, but I predicted The Usual Suspects around 20 to 30 minutes before it ended. I won't give away the ending, I'm not like that. But, the same happened with me and Silence of the Lambs. I thought it was good, but I predicted absolutely everything. AND WHY? Because I saw both movies long after they came out. That was my problem. People make such great movies and I don't see them when they come out, instead I see all the movies who have become the Slience of the Lambs cliche, or The Usual Suspects cliche. So in thinking about that, and to compensate for the fact that I'd seen a bunch of movies that have all been predictable, it was easy to predict the originals because I'd seen the cliches, and thus I'm going to deem Usual Suspects up there in top ten wow factor movies.
Now, the movie I saw tonight I didn't predict. But it had it's flaws. The movie was called Gossip, and I somehow got hooked on it when it started. At first what started out as what I thought a simple school project, unwinds this sick twisted plot underneath. THEN, to top it all off, the VERY end of the movie reveals a second sick twisted plot underneath the sick twisted plot that was underneath. But the movie again, still had some flaws. So, I'm definitely going to add it to top ten wow factor, but underneath Fight Club (obviously) and underneath Memento. I never did review memento. That was VERY good. Worth every penny, too. Entire movie is backwards. It's incredble. AND, here's the excellent part of that movie. If Memento were a murder case, let's say. It would be like starting with finding the villain. Normally, when you find the villain, there's this, what I always call, the wow factor. So, this was weird, you start with the finding of the villain. But then, at the end of the movie, but what was actually the beginning of the story, THAT'S when you're hit with the wow factor. The end of it all is actually, which is the awesome part, inconsequencial.
So what am I saying. Well, I dunno. But Gossip was a good enough movie, and it deserves to go up there on wow factors, not totally, but up there. Kinda like Usual Suspects. I can't deem that too high, because I wasn't totally wowed, but I'm compensating for Usual Suspsects. And because Gossip had holes in the story, I'm not going to put it up there. But ten bucks says none of you can guess the ending to Gossip if you watch it. So go rent it, it's definitely worth it, and a really cool movie. Plus, all three of the main characters are really cool actors. And to conclude this, rant of sorts, I'm going to say that I also saw this movie last night called Virtual Sexuality. Now, I know what you're thinking, WHOA, Spork, that's a little risque. But it's ok, there's barely any sex in the hole movie. None in fact. No ACTUAL sex at all in the movie. And I know what you're thinking, no, there wasn't even virtual sex. By sexuality they're implying whether you're feminine or masculine. Now, that movie is in no way top ten. But I recommend it only because it was sooooooo stupid, and it's from England. There, I said it. I wish I spoke with an english accent, or had a friend who spoke with one. In fact, I wish I knew a girl who had an accent like the main character in this movie because her accent was awesome. Yay people who speak with british accents. Again, all of you are probably thinking I'm sickly fugged in the head, or that I'm a pervert. Just watch the movie, and you'll see that the movie was in fact totally horrible, YET, somehow you enjoyed watching it. That's why I recommend it. It's not bad like Screwed is bad, or like Three to Tango is bad, yet somehow you watch those movies. It's a different kind of bad. Again, this movie is barely sexually oriented, only because there isnt' a movie these days that isn't. If you try and say anything, all I have to say is that American Beauty is totally sexually oriented and yet everyone around talks about what a great movie it was. No one says anything to them. But if you say anything, then just because the movie has the three letters "s-e-x" in it doesn't mean it's all bad. So, watch it, you'll probably hate yet if you think to yourself you'll think "I kinda enjoyed that movie". Or maybe I am just a sick guy. I don't know.
Spork.
