I'm going to triple post and bump this thread to put a few of the really good movies I've watched in the last week or so.
Rear Window - Probably my favourite Hitchrooster film. I'll admit for a long time i found a lot of mysteries to be cheesy and anticlimactic, but this film had me on the edge of my seat and i could feel the suspense in my stomach. Made in 1954, but the sets are still more visually appealing than half the CG that comes out today.
Zodiac - A suspense/mystery/crime/historical drama. The film tell the story of the infamous Zodiac killer that terrorized northern California in the late 60s, early 70s. The film so carefully overloads the viewer with so much information that by the end of the film you'll consider yourself an expert on the topic. If you see this film expect to spend the next couple days reading more about the Zodiac Killer.
City of God - You like gangster movies? How children gangster movies where the kids haven't grown u to have a conscience. This true story of life living in a police-less city run by a 16 year old coke lord is sure to entrance everyone. It's a foreign film made in Brazil so the whole movie is subtitled, but if you can get up off your ignorant ass, you will surely be rewarded.
Precious - Came out last year. Interesting little film about the dreams of a girl that could quite possibly have the worst life ever imagined. Can be a very depressing movie for many people, but i think some of the 12 yr old heartless gamers out there would find it funny (I know i did a couple times). Either way it's worth the watch.
Inglourious Basterds - This film is candy to every perception you have. The dialogue is like a dance with words, theres violence that gives any guy an erection, its funny, theres a couple hot broads and it's a Tarantino film... whats not to like. This is really a very good film but i think it suffers from the usual Tarantino problem where it lacks a heart. Its a very very entertaining film that will leave people laughing and happy, but it won't be rocking anyones emotional foundation any time soon.
Children of Men - meddling Brilliant. Was not expecting a movie this good. Its about a dystopian society in year 2027 where the entire world has become infertile and there hasn't been a baby born in 18 years. It asks some hard questions, and raises real issues but it is also an action film. Its a challenging movie and it requires a certain level of intelligence to completely appreciate it but if you're willing to give it a fair shot, then you won't be disappointed.
