Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2001)
beautiful, moving film... unless you're coldhearted and 100% left brained
Some people don't seem to like this movie; however, it is beautifully directed and fully stimulates the mind. If you didn't (or don't think you will) like this movie try watching it again (or for the first time) and consider what you are given. Absorb the entire situation and ask yourself why the situations, dialogue, editing and (for gods sake!!) colors are the way they are. Why is Amélie's room red? What does that mean? How does it reflect the part of her character that isn't plainly given? If you love art, even if you kind of like art, and can understand that not every thing you see is what it is (symbolism does exist in movies!!) then you should enjoy this film. Even if you aren't into art, and you just decide that the director and writer just randomly picked colors for scenes, you should still like this movie because it's happy. There's nothing wrong with an artistic movie that is happy. Also, if you are fluent in French or can understand even a little bit it helps (everything is subtitled don't worry) the reason being is that you get to hear the inflection, the ferocity, the joy, the sadness --everything! Anyone can read dialogue, but when you get to hear and watch and just take in what these great actors and actresses are giving us it can really overwhelm you. That's enough--bottom line WATCH IT, if you don't like it call me an idiot on here later but you'd better be ready to support your argument.
Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)
BEAUTIFUL FPS, THAT KICKS MY ASS
Halo is a kick as first person shooter that rules over all. This game is the only reason you need to buy an x-box if you're still wondering if you should get one or not. Playing on the single player mission mode at the legendary(most difficult) setting will keep you busy for months. Then you get an awesome multi-player game that will do two things: A. Kick your freakin A$$ and B. Keep you playing for ever!(or until the sequel comes out)
