Trash Humpers


"Make it, make it, don't fake it!!!" I understand Harmony Korine made this film to go against high definition quality, but I do not understand where he was going in means of obscurity. Trash Humpers is more obscure than any of Korine's films. I really can see the Werner Herzog influence in this film. Watch it, I bet you will fucking hate it.

You Don't Know Jack


Tony Montana now as Jack Kevorkian??? I found it hard to believe, but Al Pacino did an amazing job playing the role of Dr. Kevorkian. You Don't Know Jack is a 2010 film based on the life, actions, and trials of Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Who better than John Goodman to play Jack's friend and helper. This movie was too good to be true.

Oceans


Oceans is a Disney documentary that came out in 2010. This is the most amazing documentary I have ever seen that showed so much about marine life. When you think Disney you think it would be extremely childish; Oceans is far from it. The cinematography is unbelievable.

The Good Heart


The Good Heart is an independent drama that came out in 2009. Brian Cox(L.I.E.) plays the old, rude, washed up dive bar owner that needs a new heart. Paul Dano(L.I.E., There Will Be Blood, Fast Food Nation) plays the character Lucas; Lucas is homeless and the old man meets him in a hospital and gives him the opportunity to help run the dive bar. Definitely an amazing film.

Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry

Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry is a documentary that came out in 2010 about the famous tattoo artist, Sailor Jerry. I was very amazed by this documentary. The film told so so much about Sailor Jerry. Jerry become big by tattooing sailors out of Honolulu, Hawaii. I thought it was very funny how much Jerry hated hippies and their marijuana free love and peace bullshit.
If you like the rum and tattoos check it out.

Me and You and Everyone We Know


Me and You and Everyone We Know is a drama that came out in 2005. This was Miranda July's directorial debut. At first I did not really like the plot/film at all, but towards the end I wanted more. I thought it was an amazing film. It reminded me of a soft, less crude version of Happiness. I do not know why I put viewing this movie off for so long.

The Black Balloon


The Black Balloon is a 2008 Australian drama that focuses on a family that includes a person that has autism. I really enjoyed it a lot. I have not seen any Australian films until I saw this one. The main character throughout has to deal with the hardship of having a brother that has autism. If you want to watch a film that can cause smiles and tears, this is the perfect one to watch.

Seinfeld


I know, I know this is not a film. I had surgery on Thursday and my goal while recovering is to watch the complete series season 1-9 of the greatest television show ever, Seinfeld. I can not laugh too much because it literally hurts to laugh.

Valentino: The Last Emperor


Valentino: The Last Emperor is a documentary based on the life of Valentino Garavani, that came out in 2009. I thought it was an amazing film about fashion. Even though I do not dress all ritzy, I always have had a love and desire for fashion. Defiantly give this documentary a chance.

The 400 Blows


The 400 Blows is a 1959 French New Wave film that is about a boy and his adolescent, delinquent behavior. I really enjoyed it. It was sad seeing how easily his parents wrote him off.

Mammoth


Mammoth is a 2009 drama from Sweden. I was absolutely blown away by this film. I have been waiting so long to see it and I finally done. Mammoth, by far, was Gael Garcia Bernal's best English role. Michelle Williams has not amazed me so much since I saw, Wendy and Lucy. Mammoth will definitely make you cry, especially when Cat Power starts playing. I NEED to own this.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans


Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans was a 2009 drama directed by the one and only, Werner Herzog. It is said to be a remake, but Werner disagrees. I thought it was very entertaining for a some-what mainstream film.

The Beat That My Heart Skipped


The Beat That My Heart Skipped is an amazing French film that came out in 2005. I have had this film in my collection for a few years now and never have got around to watching it. I just watched it today and absolutely loved it. The plot of the film is about a real estate agent that follows his dream of being a pianist. Sounds boring right? Well it is not boring one bit.

Broken Embraces


Broken Embraces is a 2009 Spanish film created by the one and only Pedro Almodovar. If you enjoyed Carne Tremula and Volver, then you will definitely appreciate this film. Penelope Cruz of course plays an amazing role. I really enjoyed Los Abrazos Rotos.

The Cove


The Cove is a 2009 documentary that is about the killing of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. By far this was an AMAZING & DEPRESSING film. I am glad it won an Academy Award for best documentary. If you agree that dolphin meat should be banned and the killing of dolphins should stop, you need to view this.

Amores Perros


Amores Perros is a Mexican drama that consists of three different stories which came out in 2000. It was an amazing film which I have viewed a few times now. I think Amores Perros is by far the best film from Mexico that Gael Garcia Bernal has been in. Rudo y Cursi and Y Tu Mama Tambien were great, but Gael did an outstanding performance in this film. Amores Perros also achieved the BAFTA Award and also won the prize of critic's weeks at the Cannes festival. It was also nominated for an academy award for best foreign film. If dead animals get to you, this film is not for you.
