Trainspotting

So a lot of people rave about the horridly depressing Requiem for a Dream as being the end all of heroin movies but those people would be so very wrong having never viewed the comical yet extremely heart wrenching movie Trainspotting.  This movie follows a rag tag group of junkies without jobs who are just doing anything to make it by and get a little bit more dope, and the way they do is pretty hilarious.  The first hour of the movie is mostly laughs until that comes to a screeching halt after which follows some of the most depressing cinema I've ever seen.

Overall - 8.5/10

Frailty

Bill Paxton is not one of my favorite actors, so his directing debut made me extremely skeptical having seen Fargo several times, and still don't understand what people see in it i gave this a watch anyways.  The first hour of the movie left me thinking the same way due to the absolutely ridiculous nature of the plot thus far, however there was definitely a necessary twist so i figured i may as well see what thats going to be. Wow, i was extremely impressed by not only Bill Paxton's performance as both the lead and director, as well as Matthew McConaughey's.  I would defiantly recommend watching this film regardless of what you think of the cast or anyone else involved in the making of this film.

Overall 8.5/10

A Serious Man


Let me start by saying that i HATE everything the Cohen brothers have ever done, its all non-linear bullshit with no possible plot twist because the plot always tends to focus on such trivial things.  This movie continues that trend of theirs however adds humor into the mix, and with an entire movie full of antisemitism it was kinda hard to hate because i was laughing to much.  Overall a good watch defiantly would recommend it but would also warn an EXTREME lack of intensity just like every Cohen brothers film.

Overall 7/10

Brazil

So, just got finished watching Brazil, and i happen to be a HUGE Terry Gilliam fan, having seen every single other one of his movies several times and they remain some of my favorite films.  However after over 2 hours of this film i was still confused as to how such a genius could make a movie such as this, it had the feel of him too it and reminded of Twelve Monkeys but the story was bland.  It was silly and with no reality taking place, the whole movie is just more and more ridiculous and it never really explains itself all the way.  To clarify what i mean, the world it is placed in has absolutely no defined boundaries, and due to that the twists aren't really twists, they just further the ridiculousness of the entire plot line.

6/10 overall. dissapointed

El Ten Eleven is a Los Angeles, CA post-rock duo known for combining guitar/bass doubleneck or fretless bass, with heavy looping, or vamping, and the utility of an effects pedal, over acoustic or electric drumming. They have released three full length albums, earning generally positive reviews.

The band has earned some attention due to many of their songs being featured in the soundtracks of Gary Hustwit's design documentaries Helvetica and Objectified.

The name El Ten Eleven is derived from the name of an airplane, the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar.
