Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)
I watched this movie not knowing what to expect. I’m glad to say that I was very pleasantly suprised. Hedwig is hilarious, beautiful, sad, and romantic at the same time. The songs are awesome and I’m listening to the soundtrack as I write. John Cameron Mitchell is a genius and I’ll look forward to whatever he comes up with in the future.
History of Violence, A (2005)
Viggo was amazing in Eastern Promises, so it shouldn’t surprise you that I wanted to see this movie as soon as possible. He’s definitely getting older though. I though he’d look kind of young in this one, but you can really see his age catching up with his appearance. That’s a big bummer. The movie was different than I’d expected, but a lot more interesting as well. The violence in the movie is chilling, very different from the glamorized Hollywood action you see in most action movies. The story seemed almost surreal at times, because you’re just not used to that kind of exposure. All in all, I really liked it (especially when the kid kicked the shit out of the other guys, not so much when he started using a gun on people).
Shortbus (2006)
Well yeah, I needed to know what the hype was about. Shame on me. I’m still a little bit in shock watching this movie. But I can tell you that it was kinda sweet, kinda funny, kinda interesting and a whole lot of weird and awkward.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
Even though I have no friggin’ idea what this movie is/was about, it was funny to watch for a bit. Sam Rockwell is awesome though. Also, Alan Rickman as Marvin the Paranoid Android!
Iron Man (2008)
Iron man is friggin awesome! I never really watched the cartoon, I just remember some black-haired dude walking into some kind of weird suit and he was off fighting funky coloured evil duds who I think came from outer space or it could be my memory failing me. Anyhoo, I was never an Iron Man fan, untill NOW. Iron Man is kind of like Batman because both are rich guys fighting bad people in a fucked up world. The difference is that Tony Stark is like a million times richer than Bruce Wayne, and he’s a REAL player and he blows shit up instead of ninja-fighting. This movie scored a helluva lot of coolpoints for having Robert Downey Junior as Stark. I don’t know what would’ve happened if he wasn’t in this movie, but it would definitely go down on the FUNNYSCALE and the SUPERAWESOMESCALE. I’m telling you, Iron Man kicks major ass and its major selling point is being a lot different and a lot more BADASS than the other superdudes. (I still love you Batman)
