Project X (2012)

Extremely over the top yet strangely relatable

[6/10 · 3 March 2012]

Depending on which age group you fall in will determine your enjoyment for Project X. Project X does so many fundamental things wrong such as sub par acting and glaring plot holes. However, for a film that on paper seems absolutely terrible I could not stop laughing and really enjoying this movie.

Project X isn't so much hilarious as it is entertaining. This movie will really appeal those who can relate to the plot somewhat. As an 18 year old that has thrown parties when my parents were away the film struck a chord with me. I could feel the main character Thomas's anxiety when he realized he had no control over his house and that's why I feel many teenagers and even those in their early 20's would really relate to this film.

Project X might not be worth 10 dollars to see it in the movie theater but if you go with a good group of friends the 10 dollar ticket will seem more than worth it. I really enjoyed the film for personal reasons but I can see a lot of movie goers detesting it. 6/10

Requiem for a Dream (2000)

A Must Watch for Anyone Mature to Handle It

[9/10 · 22 June 2009]

This is one of the most powerful films of all time, and depicts a realistic and graphic portrayal of drug abuse. This film is so powerful it just might make people not even start drugs. Each scene is wonderfully shot and sub par acting is hard to find in this movie. Requiem for a Dream is one of the most under appreciated films of all time but still one of the best and most powerful. Movies like Requiem for a Dream are hard to find, but be warned this movie is not for the faint of heart as it goes deeps in all aspects of drug addiction. I promise you that once you see Requiem for a Dream you will never forget, because from this powerful film, you just don't get entertainment, you get a pivotal lesson about life. So right now you can buy it of the Playstation Store, Xbox Live Marketplace, Itunes, and obviously netflix, this movie is out there, after this film, you will never understand why it hasn't gotten the attention or popularity as other movies.
