I really don't go to or watch a lot of movies, but I really thought that The Wrestler was excellent.

I don't have time to do my top ten list right now but gotta say... The Hurt Locker was the absolutely the best film I saw this year.

Watchmen was good. So was 7 pounds.
Superbad was really funny.

Best movie I've seen in the last few years was "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas".

The movie both hit and missed with me. First of all, you have to suspend a lot of disbelief. Huge holes in the story such as: 1. Where were the guard towers and riflemen? 2. How was that Jewish kid able to sneak off to the fence every day without anyone seeing him? 3. How was it possible that an 8 year old german boy during the time, not to mention the son of a death camp comandant, not have already been brainwashed? 4. Why were there guards at the front of the house but none to the rear? 5. If he could get in, why couldnt he have just helped get the kid out? 6. Were there no phones or radios between the house where the comandant's office was and the death camp in which he ran? It would seem simple enough to make a call if his son was missing. Okay. The director did an amazing job of dehumanizing the victims. The best that i have seen in a movie on the subject. And you don't really catch it until after the movie of what he made you feel. By focusing on the boy and his family and their pain and making the plight of the jews mysterious and hidden for much of the movie, you are almost fooled into thinking the real tragedy is what happened to the little german boy. But what about Schmuel and Pavel and the rest of the poor souls that were gassed at the same time? The director makes them almost an after thought until the fade out with the picture of the striped concentration camp pajamas hanging. That is the brilliance of the movie in my opinion and it made the movie truly unique. For a second, he brought you into the world of a german during that time. |
