Fargo
I recently watched this movie to show my gf what it was like. This is one of my favorite movies I've watched this year even though it came out in 1996.
The story is simple enough: "A man hires 2 guys to kidnapp his wife so that his wife's dad will pay the ransom which he will split with the 2 other guys"
It sounds simple but thats when it gets complicated and interesting. The characters have got to be the best part of the movie. The acting is just awesome and Steve Buscemi is once again funny as hell.
It's under 1hr and 40min so it's good when you don't want to be in front of the TV for too long. If you haven't seen it yet, go buy it. you'll be glad you did.
overall rating:9/10
Step up
This is the last chickflick I saw with my gf. I was expecting the worst but this was decent. The acting is not that great and the plot is completely predictable but for some reason, it was watchable.
the story is simple enough:"3 friends(~16-18yr old) from the hood decide to break in a school(an art school with dancing and music etc..) and trash the place. 1 of them gets caught so he has to do some community hrs at the school to pay for the damage he caused. At the same time, in the school, a girl is preparing for her final project which is a big dance concert. her partner breaks his foot so guess who's gonna replace him?!"
If you realllly don't want to think and you like dance movies, check it out.
btw: the chick in the movie is REALLY hot! maybe that's why i enjoyed it!
overall rating:5.5/10 Rental.
Four Rooms
Another old movie from my collection. This one is very very odd. 4 movie directors put their ideas together to make 1 movie. The concept is: "it's new years eve at a hotel in hollywood and theres just 1 person working. Ted the bellhop." So you see his night in 4 different rooms. Every room is split up like a short. the 2 starting rooms are very odd and boring. the next 2 are directed by Robert Rodrigez(#3) and Quentin Tarantino(#4). these are the reason to watch the movie. i can't really recommend it unless you want to see something out of the ordinary or if you're a big fan of RR or QT.
room1: 5/10
room2: 4/10
room3: 8/10
room4: 7.5/10
overall rating:7/10
