Alpha Dog (2006)
J.T. OK - movie not OK
You've seen this movie before, a lot of people on drugs make a lot of bad decisions - someone dies, and the movie abruptly ends with a slideshow of all the other characters and how much jailtime they got.
JT does a decent job, and so does the rest of the cast, the script is fine, direction and editing are fine - still, this movie is a pointless downer and as dull as a spoon.
Save yourself the discomfort, save yourself the time, and just plain save yourself! go watch something else.
Movie is only OK for you if: 1. You want to see JT without his shirt. 2. You want to see sharon stone in a fat-suit. 3. You are easily pacified by the occasional boob. 4. Pot automatically makes a movie cool to you. 5.The word 'fuck' automatically makes a movie cool to you.
Last Night (1998)
This movie became one of my all-time favorites after about 3 minutes of watching
Surreal, human, funny, deep. This movie avoids the 'technical' aspects of Armageddon, it is a certainty, and it looms over the characters wherever the story takes them.
Rather than nitpicking, Don McKellar takes his characters on a strange voyage through the human condition, with everyone spending the last 6 hours of their lives as amplified versions of themselves right up to the very end - experiencing love and fear, examining their values, making choices, learning, growing and being reborn.
If the world was ending in 6 hours, I would probably spend 2 of them watching this movie.
