Brilliant film about people walking down corridors. And something else happens.

I actually believe spoiling what the movie is about makes it better. I mean, I won't unless explicitly asked to by GA, but when you know what occurs, it makes the entire movie that much more harrowing.

I'm going to start on this list over the weekend hopefully now the World Cup is almost over. I'll leave short reviews of what I see.

The Hurricane Heist 

Saw that in the theater, and am glad someone else paid. Because if I had, I've had wanted my money back.

25th Hour (2002)

Seconding this one.

I've finally started watching these films! Only the two for now, and I'm busy this week on CineMortuary duties. Some quick thoughts though:

 

Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006) - Lovely little story, this. Often I find road movies too meandering (see below) and I did tune out in places, but a cool concept and build-up to a sweet - as in, awwwwww - ending meant this hit the spot. The atmosphere and indie-nature and soundtrack reminded me why I used to love films so much.

 

Six String Samurai (1998) - Bit meandering. 😛 Again it's a cool concept but Turbo Kid sprang to mind here: when all you're doing is cool dialogue and cool fighting scenes, I'm going to get exhausted quickly. Think Power Rangers but starring Buddy Holly.

Wristcutters has some great music. Gogol Bordello, if I recall right. 

And it's got Tom Waits in it! Can't go wrong there.

Its one of those films that if it had a slightly better everything it would be an absolute cult classic.

Black Dynamite: Possibly the funniest film I've ever seen.

@Kaney will back me up on this.

This is true. Go get it now, put your ankles in it.
