A Serbian Film

A Serbian Film
This movie is beyond messed up.
I've seen some disturbing films and this one has to be up there.
For your info, I saw the uncensored U.S version plus
some of the international version to compare a few scenes.
I heard this film since last year's Fantastic Fest.
Very controversial.
Not going into detail about the scenes in this movie.
But, if you're a father, it is best to avoid this at all cost.
I like the industrial music on here.
I like the slow pacing in the first half that
builds up to the breaking point of the movie where
all hell breaks loose.
It felt like I was drugged up myself.
Lots of torture scenes, lots of nudity, lots of blood.
I like my fair share.
But if you ask me if I'll ever see this movie again,
I'll say, probably not.

Bambi

SHAME ON ME WEDNESDAY

[The second Wednesday of every month
I'll see a movie that I am ashamed
to admit I've never seen before.
A movie that most have seen
and it's usually referenced in pop culture.
As a fan of cinema, I shouldn't have missed
these movies, but I did, so shame on me.
This will give me the chance to catch up on those
movies.]

This month, my focus is Animated movies.
The following five animated films I've never seen before:

Bambi
The Iron Giant
Lady and the Tramp
Fantasia
Akira

This month's pick by majority votes:
Bambi
Runner Up: Lady and the Tramp


Bambi
I'm glad this was very short (1hr and 9mins).
It was kind of boring.
The only parts I liked was the parts with the rabbit.
It reminded me somewhat of The Lion King.
But this film came out 50 years before.
It's considered a classic (duh, who hasn't heard of
freaking Bambi?).
I think I've seen clips before but
never took interest to see this movie.
And if it wasn't for Shame on Me Wednesday,
I wouldn't have seen this at all.

Glad to get this one out of the way.
One more Shame on Me Wednesday to go.
For the last one, my film experts will vote
for the best runner-up from all year long.

The Change-Up (2011)

NEW RELEASE TUESDAY


The Change-Up
Man, this was pretty funny.
I was expecting a stupid movie because
no other interesting movie came out today.
Yeah, this was kind of stupid but it works for me.
It reminded me a little of another underrated movie
(Hall Pass).
Jason Bateman's performance is good as always.
Don't really care about Ryan Reynolds.
A few funny scenes we have here
especially with the babies pooping and
banging their heads.
Funny dialogue.
I had fun with this.
Feels good to get away for a bit.

I had a six pack of Longsharks
(which had nothing to do with the movie).
Just, beer made it good.

Singin' In The Rain

MUSICAL MONDAY

[To expand my knowledge in this genre
and for the sake of trying something different,
every first Monday of every month this year,
I'll be checking out a musical I've never seen before.]


Singin' In The Rain
This has to be one of my favorite musicals I've ever seen.
I didn't think I was going to enjoy it that much.
From start to finish,
very classy sequences.
Lots of great moments and characters.
A lot of memorable songs like, "Good Morning" and
"Moses Supposes."
Love all the tap dancing and long
shot scenes.
This is my first classic Gene Kelly movie.

This is a must buy for Musical fans.
I'm adding this to the shelf, for sure.

Bad Teacher (2011)

Bad Teacher
Predictably bad.
Just wanted to see something stupid
and maybe a little fun.
What I got was just stupid.
I heard about the poor reviews but
I don't really give a damn about what
other people say, I wanted to judge it for myself.
A lot of critics hate it "Hall Pass,"
and surprisingly, I thought it was really funny.
So who cares what they say about "Bad Teacher."
Bottom line, I didn't like it.
I liked some of the minor characters in the film.
But Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake dont know
how to act for anything.

From here on out, I am boycotting future
movies from Diaz and Timberlake
(unless of course, if they're in a Tarantino movie).

Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)

Crazy, Stupid, Love
This was a great movie.
Lots of great moments.
Good flow.
Great casting and performances.
Very sweet!!!
The ending was super sweet.
It was a tearjearker for sure.
If you've seen the trailer, you've seen practically the movie.
Some of the great moments were already on the trailer.
Every character in this movie was likeable.

Recommended with a few bottles of wine and maybe some pasta.

Cars 2 (2011)

NEW RELEASE TUESDAY


Cars 2
I knew this wasn't going to be as good as the first one.
This one had more racing and less heart about
the world and characters.
I wasn't feeling it as much.
They focused more on Mater the Tow Truck
here than ever.
Poor stupid truck has feelings.
We have somewhat the same story about
foreign cars being the enemy.

This has to be my first Pixar disappointment.
I mean, it wasn't that bad.
Just expected a whole lot better coming from Pixar.
