The Fountain (2006)
i don't get it
I went to see this movie last week with some friends. At the end I was like "what? that's it?". I like Hugh and Rachel..all the movies I've seen them in, but this one is bad! This movie is a waste of time and money. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know, but if you don't trust me go see it, you will waste almost two hours of your life. I guess that the love story sells a movie like this, but the end is stupid and meaningless. I don't like to watch movie that make me think too much. I believe that when you go to the theater you need some distraction and feel happy when you get out, life is already bad itself, you don't need a movie to depress you more.
Wedding Slashers (2006)
Wedding Slashers is a keeper
This is a throwback. There was a time when horror films were gritty, exploitive, funny, nasty, and had moments so bad they were good. And boobs. They showed BOOBS! If you're not expecting Devil's Rejects or the Grudge or any other modern and slick horror, you will find Wedding Slashers watchable. "Wedding Slashers" is a direct descendant of those trashy, low budget 70s horror films. Catchy title, cute girls, nudity, blood, a big old knife on the artwork.
The movie opens with a flashback. A bride and a groom with not a nickel to rub together are heading to Vegas, running away from home to get married. They don't make it. They are exterminated by a gas mask, cloak wearing, Darth Vader sounding killer. He spouts some nonsense about love and then abruptly splits the brides head open like a watermelon. You practically see the seeds. Moving forward in time we meet another Bride. Every man she's every loved has died a mysterious death. Without ruining the end, the fate of her fiancé hangs in balance. Will the mystery be solved and will our love birds tie the knot before the bloody finale? The plot is simple. The performances are raw but more often than not, good. This production value is minimal, the technical aspects besides a nice 5.1 surround mix, there are none. The gore is sometimes shocking, sometimes campy, and usually entertaining.
The charm in this is that a bunch of first timers (At least their previous credits don't add up to much) have made a little movie that pretty much works. You can see the missteps, but they are never boring or offensive. I would have liked to see more of the strippers at the bachelor party. Of course, it would have been nice to see more of the bride. There's a shower scene and for some reason, they don't show below her shoulders!! She's too cute to keep covered up. But despite those major drawbacks, Wedding Slashers is a keeper.
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)
applause for Borat
I went to see this movie last weekend. I was skeptical at first, because of all the good reviews and not too thrilled by the trailer. I was wrong, so wrong. It's the funniest movie I've ever seen, I laughed the whole time and so was everyone in the movie theater! Maybe the scene where he's naked was a bit revolting, but the rest of the movie was great! Some other scenes were a bit over the line but since it was all staged and he's just an actor in the end it didn't really matter!
I recommend everyone I know to see it, it's worth it and they won't regret it!
Congratulations Sacha, well done!
