Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
It's like Alfred Hitchcock came back from the grave to direct an other masterpiece!
Last night I saw this movie for the first time and wasn't expecting too much of it. I hadn't bothered reading reviews of it and had even forgotten the movie existed until I found it between the discount DVD's while shopping. All I can say about this movie is WOW!!! What an amazing piece of work! It totally pushes aside the usual film cliché's. It's so refreshing to not get bombarded with the usual stereotypes and cliché's. The story and dialog is so well written and the great cast of actors makes it all so much better. It's like Alfred Hitchcock came back from the grave to direct an other masterpiece. It's a shame only so few of these types of movies get made these days and it's also a terrible shame this movie has never gotten the recognition/attention it deserves. It's crazy that such a good movie with such an amazing cast is still so unknown. This movie is perfect in every way and it's one of the best movies of our time! It's a well crafted piece of art, a great puzzle of a roller coaster for the viewer to figure out.
Masters of Horror: Homecoming (2005)
Better than the republicans would like to admit
Wow politics and horror meet and combine into something very disturbing indeed in this episode! I really like how the creators did not compromise by using a fake war with fake politicians, using the war in Iraq as a theme gives it lots of relevance and makes it far more disturbing to watch. Using the undead to force people to look at one of the biggest if not THE biggest LIE of our times might sound a bit too weird, but it actually works at extremely well in my opinion. Why not use the US dead from the war to make a powerful anti war statement? The US military wounded and especially the dead are carefully hidden from the media, as if they are just anonymous numbers who fade away in history, happy to have done their country a service by being used as cannon fodder in a war of lies. Using satire to expose the current political power as morally bankrupt and uncaring about the lives it destroys is painfully to the point. Showing the press as licking the heals of republicans. I would have thought US military personnel would hate this episode, but the ones I know who have seen it really liked it. Now that the war in Iraq is lost this episode seems even more relevant.
4 inyong shiktak (2003)
This movie is falsely marketed as a horror movie!
Wow this movie disappointed me so much, I love Korean horror movies but this movie is falsely marketed as a horror i.m.o. I had high expectations after reading some reviews, but Uninvited is just emotional drama with a few super national elements. It doesn't even try to be scary. It starts out great with those two kids, but at the end it just went on and on in slow motion, even after it was more than obvious what the point of the movie was. The story went into a direction which seems dull to me. I liked the visual style and I have nothing against drama or a slightly confusing plot in a Korean horror movie such as in A Tale of two sisters, but Uninvited really isn't horror although the back of the DVD case promises the viewer a chilling horror movie. I respect peoples opinion for liking it but horror fans beware!
