I've seen a few films lately that have reaffirmed my faith in Hollywood films. For a while, who wanted to go? Thin plotlines in aggressively long diatribes not only are boring, but, the definitly put a shelf life on the time one can sit in those seats.
Yep, the quality of a film can be measured in how fast it takes for your arse to get sore in the seats.
Am I right, or am I right?
Damn straight I'm right, Child!
So please stick with me for 3 films that will entertain you and keep your bums from going numb.
1. Casino Royal - For an obsessed Bond fan, Casino Royal is pure decadence. Daniel Craig's charisma matched with his undesputed talent charges the screen with sophistication and rugged sensuality. The women in the theatre were swooning, while I was stiffling squeaks of joy.
Daniel Craig plays James Bond with a sensitivity not seen since Sean Connery. He nailed it. Go see this movie!
2. Borat - Cohen's devastating humour will violate you mentally, physically and spiritually. He will grab ahold of all you thought was bizarre about the USA and wring the truth out. What will drip down is a film that can only be watched to truly understand the impact it will have on your life. You will feel dirty and wrong, however, you will want Cohen to make you feel that way over and over again.
My only question is, how will Cohen ever top this? Matching is mediocre and falling short will be inexcuseable.
3. Blood Diamond - A film that will leave you feeling changed. You will be on the edge of your seat for the duration of the film. You will laugh, you will cry, you will leave understanding greed in the face of senseless killing all in the name of our hunger for diamonds.
I walked into the film, feeling cocky, "How can this movie make me love diamonds any less?" Well I still love them, I just don't want to wear them, unless I can be sure that the product is conflict free. Which means, after watching this film, I'm buying vintage, antique or I'm hoofin' it to the diamond mine myself to extract my own stone.
Performances in this film were bar none the best across the board.
Please, go see Blood Diamond, you will leave feeling that watching that film truly was the best use of your time.
