Sud sanaeha (2002)
Horrible Movie
I love foreign movies from all over the world. But this movie from Thailand nearly made me to hate movies from Thailand the way I hate Hollywoood movies. But, I will not, I will continue to watch movies from Thailand and I will even give it a try and watch another movie from Weerasethakul.
At first, I thought to myself, how in the heck did such a movie even win an award. This movie looked like some amateur movie made by some amateur director. I had to research this director and found out that he is a respectable person in the world of artistic movies. I was really disappointed, that somebody of his caliber could make a movie this horrible. There is no story, nothing, nada. What was he trying to tell us? The only redeeming aspect of this movie is cinematography, the landscapes are beautiful and the scene where the couple are having a picnic is breathtaking. Also the scene at the river is amazing. That is the only good thing I saw in the movie. The movie lacked passion, no emotion. Even the stupid sex scenes were virtually empty, at least you'd expect people to show some emotion here. But, NO! nothing! To add insult to injury, the movie dragged on for a good 2 hours! I just wish the people who awarded this awful movie could just explain to me what they found award-worthy. Maybe I missed it, I am no expert in movie making and all BUT I know a good movie when I see one, and Blissfully Yours is NOT one of them.
NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL!!!
V for Vendetta (2005)
One of the best movies of 2005
Normally I don't watch movies in theaters, I wait for the DVD to come out and then watch it in the comfort of my home with captioning, rewinds and all! My daughter got this movie from the local library and when I saw the title I assumed it was one of those trashy Hollywood movies, so I didn't bother to watch it. I found this movie again in the library a for the second time and decided to try it out after my daughter begged me to watch it.
I just watched it last night, WOW!!, I was blown away! Not only is the movie so well made, it has a deep storyline. The society depicted in the movie could as well be any society today. Most of the rhetoric reminded me so much of the American society, the wealthy pharmaceuticals could as well be the American pharmaceuticals.
The acting by both Natalie Portman and V was simply superb. I liked it even more that it was British.
I highly recommend this movie!
