Memento (2000)
Unlike anything I've seen before...
This is an highly original, unique, fractured reverse order murder mystery, not for the energetic. Although it is beautifully filmed, gritty at times, honest in every way, it felt artsy in it's shadowplay, certainly it dragged at times, almost to the point of boredom. You spend approximately 2 hours waiting, waiting, watching, expecting something to happen and then in the last 10 minutes or so it moves at an explosive pace.
I loved it. I couldn't wait to see it. It lingers in my mind, I try to remember points about the movie, which I find elude me. I think this is a movie to be watched several times because there's no way one can watch it just once and absorb all that happens.
Guy Pearce is amazing. I loved him in Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.
Rockabilly Vampire (1996)
A really fun vampire movie
Sure, it's an independent film, it's got it's technical problems, the beginning doesn't grab you, the acting at times is mechanical, but once you get past that first 5 minutes you'll find yourself absorbed with the characters, amused by their idiosyncrasies, and you'll be on a whirlwind ride of strange romances, kooky and outrageous characters, and a pretty solid storyline. I'd recommend this film to anyone, it's definitely on my top 5 list of vampire movies. The soundtrack is unbeatable for anyone who enjoys rockabilly and rock music in general. On a more personal note: I loved the Wrecks and Beatleboy characters, they are hilarious!
