Detroit Rock City!

Detroit Rock City(1999) Its rating on IMDB is 6.4/10. I rated it a 10. Here is why.

First off this movie was my first movie that i actually watched twice in a night. It was in 2000ish and I was at my dads house, it was so fun that it deserved to go back in the vcr. I bought it in 05, ive watched it on dvd about 30 times. Each time I love it more and more. Here is why

-Its a really original idea, and very well written. The character are all incredibly memorable. The archs of everyone is well pulled off. The music is amazing. The satire references are awesome(It battles high school, Disco, religious fanatics,and douchebags and them getting what they deserve..) The ending is also amazing, the relationships are amuzing but they do the job. The cameos are pretty rad now that i'm older and I can recognize the stars. The acting is pretty decent. The pacing is great, the comedy is well timed. The structure is easily visable(Call to adventure-getting tickets for the show-end of act 1 they get on the road-all is lost point-Everyone pretty much gets what they needed, but the climax they get there tickets. And go to the show. Resolution- they go to the show, jam catches a drum stick everyone is all hyped and such.)

I don't know why this movie has such a low rating, I have yet to find a person who disliked it.

Movie Weekend

Yesterday i watched Unbreakable, Amores porres, and big fish. Today I watched The good the bad and the ugly. And soon I will start reservoir dogs.

Tommorow is Disctrict 9, and City of god.

Amores Porres-Its a pretty strong movie, half way through i was confused by everything then i spelled out the story's in my head and realized how all these people are related. God damn mexicans and their dogs, always ruinin their lives.

Unbreakable-I watched half of it yesterday and the rest today. It was definetly a good way to watch it. I was confused as to who the bad guy was until the end and i was fucking blown away. I liked how Shamylyn(sp) did all the suspenseful shots, especially the swimming pool one, fucking thrilllller.

Big Fish-Fuck this movie, gave me that special feeling in my stomach that only a touching movie like this could deliver.

Good Bad Ugly-It's a long ass movie, but wow, the last 30 minutes is awesome. Along with everything else. But these days I can't sit through an entire movie without pausing it for 15 minute breaks and such. The desert scene was pretty cool, Eastwood looked like a zombie.

Reservoir dogs should be fun, and inspiring. District 9 aswell since I have a similiar story in the making. And city of God I hope will be as good as it's hype.
