Crash (2004)
Contrived?
The film certainly deserves a lot of credit for being poignant, direct, and yet very simple. This movie deserved Best Picture because above all else, it was the most thought-provoking, probably correct in philosophy, and necessary to be seen. However, this film was CERTAINLY contrived, and that was its biggest flaw. The events needed to be more tightly woven into the story itself. To say that the film was NOT contrived would be just naive. But yes, a 9 is deserving. If they airlifted this film in multiple languages over certain areas in strife (obviously with access to a DVD player etc.), it would definitely be great for humanity and alter people's beliefs of humans, their motivations, circumstances, etc. Yeah, that sounds ridiculous, but I believe in it.
They Live (1988)
FUNNIEST SCENE EVER!
The part when "Nada" aka roddy piper fights with the construction worker is easily the funniest scene EVER. Why do they get into an all-out full throttle brawl while using wrestling moves such as "the german suplex"? Perhaps maybe the reason is because Piper is a wrestler. They almost kill each other over a pair of sunglasses! Every time you think it's about to end, it doesn't! Acting and Dialogue in this movie is pathetic, and a remake should be made since it's a good idea for a film.
Turbulence 2: Fear of Flying (1999)
Simply Ingenious
How can you look at this film and not consider it ingenious?!
1) I turned this movie on right as they got on the airplane. When the crazy Russian guys entered the plane, the dark and scary music started playing, trying to convince you that it was them who were terrorists. They make it kind of like Air Force One, but a little more prejudiced. 2) As you look at the characters, you can guess the hero of the day is going to end up being Jeffrey Nordling and that the nerdy and weak guy Craig Sheffer is the type of guy that gets killed immediately for disobeying "Elliot's" rules. 3) Was the Russian guy and "British Intelligence" guy in on it together?
A:Well they had to be. What "two sets" of terrorists enter on a plane, especially when it happens to be for people who are awarded a free flight for the last flight? B: No Way it can't be. The Russian chap claimed that the other guy was lying. Additionally, the other Russians were dozed by the ice in the water. C: But wait!! They had to be! They both had those ridiculous wolverine-like claws that were incredibly original.
4)This plot was simply humorous. An anthrax bomb to destroy everything in a 5000 mile radius. WHATT!!!?!?!?!?! So Random. Hey and remember those claws? That was cool.
5) After we discover that Elliot isn't British Intelligence, he changes his accent from that English accent. Clever.
6) We can clearly pick up Elliot's inner insanity when he goes "Ok I need a volunteer, anyone? Come on! You all have a right to vote!" That is what I call sweet acting.
7)Elliot takes out his anger on the lawyer because he hates all lawyers stereotypically because of his past. Simply Stunning. He throws him out of the plane and he happens to land in the air traffic control center. And what's even more brilliant, Elliot knew it was going to happen as he says something like "send them a message for me!"
8) When the girl resists before he tries to throw the guy off the plane, he is already a little angry at her for her little performed plan in the upper compartment. Realistically, he wants nothing to do with her and he goes "will you stop it! UGH! I'm sick of you!" THAT KILLED ME.
ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN.
