A. Perfect. Movie.

An eyeopening concept of a society stripped of human emotion. Christian Bale proves very capable of being emotionless. (That would usually not be a comment, but in this film’s context, it is.) Even with Bale’s performance making most of this movie watchable, Equilibrium is a 1984-esque conformity film that aims at greatness and settles for ordinary, leaving much to be desired.

Netflix thought I would love this movie. Netflix was wrong. I told Netflix immediately after watching this movie how wrong they were.

Although a somewhat interesting look at the organs of war, Full Metal Jacket did not wow me. There was a lot of unbelievable explosions and pathetic gunfire re-enactments. There were actually quite a few moments that showed promise which in turn were overshadowed by the unecxciting and predictable war footage. The amateur-like acting served as a cherry on top of all the mediocrity.

The Coen brothers develop an unlikely screwball comedy. With the exception of a few comedic gems, most of the film feels nearly indistinguishable as a Coen production. A very sad, and very rare miss for the brothers.

Scarface is one of the most popular cult-classic films for good reason. A young Al Pacino in the near beginning of an illustrious career gives us a rare and perfect cinematic masterpiece. A movie that can be watched dozens of times, each time finding something new and brilliant.

As Martin Scorsese’s first stab at film-making, Raging Bull is arguably the best boxing movie created to this day. Filmed in black and white, and shot with such daring innovation that has come to be a Scorsese trademark.

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, although simple in it’s story, is a brief escape into pure and adorable teenage love. The characters are genuine and radiate adolescent love in its truest form, to the point where it’s difficult not to feel connected to the charming narrative on a personally emotional level.

I am generally opposed to borderline-documentary and political statement films, but Syriana does passionate justice to an issue so relevant to today’s world, probing the oil industry and how far-reaching its corruption and the effects thereof are scaled.

Superbad is the most genuine portrayal of awkward survival in the high school chapter of life. The funniest movie in the last 5 years, for anyone to say otherwise is blasphemy and should be investigated as communist.

Robert Downey Jr. is hilarious and takes part in a very capable screenplay. The inventive angle of narration, and sarcastic approach satisfies 100%. Also, Val Kilmer plays a gay guy — lol, seriously.

This is a movie far too typical to be worthy of any praise. Harrison Ford plays Harrison Ford, the ending is evident from the beginning, and no part of this movie is original nor thrilling. Take every movie starring Harrison Ford, make a few minute alterations, and you have Patriot Games.

The ingenious dialogue and smart symbolic imagery is enough to distinguish Barton Fink as a Coen production. The humor is spot-on and on par with Raising Arizona and Burn After Reading. Turturro and Goodman are dynamic and radiate brilliance in every scene, as the film explores the mind of a Hollywood writer.

I’m very partial to Edward Norton, so with that bias in consideration, I found The Incredible Hulk exciting even for those of us who aren’t comic book nerds. It is however, not at the Spider-man level by any means, but this movie packs enough punch to leave an audience crossing their fingers for a sequel.

The Last Samurai has extremely high production value, above most films, and it shows. It is an epic tale with impressive fight scenes and intriguing cultural elements. I’ve always wanted to visit Japan and this movie only strengthened my desire.

The Fuguitive was a 130 minute emotionless game of hide-and-seek, but far less fun than an actual game of hide-and-seek. All the while Harrison Ford struggles to prove his innocence, the only thing clear to me is that watching Harrison Ford is not a favorable experience for anyone born after 1980.
