More than a year ago I followed a film course with this guy who named 'The Paper' one us his favorites. He watch a lot of movies so his opinion was worth something. Now I have seen the movie, and I can understand what his talking about. 'The Paper' is fast and pointy. It is like a cafeine shot during overhours. I think this is one movie which gets better and better everytime you watch it. This is because it is packed with strong dialog, strong actors and a lot of sidelines. The reason a rated this movie a 7, and not a 8 or 9, is because it is overall to quick for me. It's sometimes like Howard (the director) tried to force the sidelines to come toghether. The movie also doesn't have enough patience if you ask me. It doesn't take the time to reflect on things, which wouldn't misstand.

Pitch Black

Better than Equilibrium, worse than Reign of fire

It starts of as, sort of, an over-the-top videoclip. Strange transitions and some extreme lightning. It didn't excite me much. Just reminded me of which typical B-flicks I saw in the last year. But after a while, when the black falls in, the film gets better. I even began to like some of the cliche one-liners in the end. For a B-movie not at all bad.
Romeo Must Die

Straight popcorn.

It was better than I thought it would be. It has some nice action, no bad acotrs and some poppy tunes. It's mainly style above content. What is bad about are the stereotype gangs, the missing chemistry between Aaliyah and Lee and some questionable SFX. Overall a six for me, if it was only out of respect for Aaliyah.
