Zombie Honeymoon (2004)

worst movie i have ever seen.

[1/10 · 26 February 2006]

DO NOT RENT 'ZOMBIE HONEYMOON'. trust me on that one. me and some friends watched in fast forward after the first 30 minutes, because it is ACTUALLY THAT BAD. it would of been much better as a comedy. instead it was me and my friends watching it in 16 time mode providing the very bad commentary. so sad. it went something like this:

"oh, but i still love you, even though you eat people!" "i can't help it! i love brains!" "you have to stop eating our friends! how can we have a social life? you have really given a new meaning to 'dinner party'!" "but baby, i love you." "i forgive you! but don't eat me!" "i won't baby, you're my wife!" "ok then, let's go to the mall! promise me you won't eat anyone!" "ok, i promise."

25 useless time wasting movie minutes later...

"oops." "BUT YOU PROMISED!"

ugh.

Love, Sex and Eating the Bones (2003)

What a funny, funny, funny, funny movie.

[10/10 · 29 January 2004]

Truthfully, i was expecting the worse when i attended a screening of this movie last Thursday (Jan 22, 2004 at Canada Square Cinemas in Toronto).

But, what i received was a gut-breaking-laugh-fest.

I LOVED IT!!

This is the way more Canadian films should be...smart, sexy, and funny as hell.

I don't want to give too much away, but as the director said, "this is a film for people who like to kiss."

Highly, highly, highly recommend.

Also, if you are a Barenaked Ladies fan, Ed Robertson is also a great actor. Be sure to check it out!

Elephant (2003)

Elephant is a piece of art

[10/10 · 28 October 2003]

Elephant is loosely based on the tragedy at Columbine High School in the spring of 1999. It is an overwhelmingly brilliant and powerful film, a day-in-the-life portrayal of a fictional high school in Oregon, soon to become a killing field. Gus Van Sant's fluid direction makes the viewer feel they are a silent observer of the events, a powerless angel of sorts, witnessing the motives of the killers, and becoming emotionally attached to the victims.

The cast is made of newcomers, with the exception of Timothy Bottoms. Realistic, improvisational acting only makes the film stronger. Elephant is a piece of art, and may not be easily digested by all viewers, but certainly will be appreciated by fans of great cinema.

Sam's Lake (2002)

amazingly scary for a short film

[10/10 · 16 February 2003]

sam's lake scared the p*** out of me.

i thought i would almost die, dead, d-e-a-d, dead.

seriously, this is an amazing film, and i wish the best of luck to the creator to make it into a full length feature, as it does have the potential.

Treed Murray (2001)

Astounding film...

[10/10 · 30 January 2002]

Saw a special "Genie" (Canadian Oscar) screening this past Sunday evening. I had heard nothing but good things about this film, so i decided to attend. I was blown away. Amazing acting (THE WHOLE CAST!-which is rare these days), great direction, and the best thing of all is that it basically takes place all in one location, and does not come of as "theater" at all. I loved it, highly recommend it.

Waking Life (2001)

dream is destiny

[8/10 · 8 November 2001]

this is a film that made me think the most about my life after leaving the theatre.

plays out like a university course in philosophy, while visually playing out as a lesson in art.

great visuals, great message.

at times hard to sit through, possibly b/c there is no definite plot.

but i still recommend it.
