Pump Up the Volume (1990)
A Period Piece
This film is definitely more a period piece than anything else but I thought that was fantastic. Angst is heavily present but I felt that the soundtrack really defined it. What happened in the movie to me didn't really matter, I felt that it was more about just the lifestyle and the time period of the late 80s. I think its a wild ride into the mind of a teenager at the time.
Well-made and just really interesting to look at.
Worth a view, you definitely won't regret seeing this movie; very entertaining and enlightening. I was changed by the end of it, I've never been the same. Ima a completely different person. i don't even know who i am anymore thanks to this film
Almost Famous (2000)
Puzzling
I cant really understand why everyone loves this film so much. Its a cheesy overdone version of what rock was in the 70s. Poorly acted and just too long, i felt it pretty painful to watch. Embellishing the 70s like they were a nice time period overall, with values look pure good and pure evil.
Its a kids, nice version of what the 70s were like, there is little in here that is actually truthful, most of it is just garbage.
I can't really understand why people still make movies like this, its overdone and just plain boring. Kate Hudson should have just stopped working after this, her career would have been better off
200 Cigarettes (1999)
Whoa
I can't really find anything good to say about this movie, so im not going to say much. its hard for me to understand how anyone could like this movie. I don't care about the ensemble cast, if they're all give poor performances what does it matter. I think Courtney Love should be banned from acting in feature films and then I think we would be able to this country a serious justice. I found myself bored and scratching the paint off the walls during this movie. I hope no one in the production considers they did a good job or have made something of merit because they really haven't
I'd rather have a bran aneurysm than see this movie a second time. There are only so many things in the world that are just utter trash
Awakened (2013)
A Great Mystery
These kinds of films are always good fun and its really great to see one done the right way every once in a while.
Julianne Michelle plays the lead as a girl trying to do research about her mother's death. Right off the bat, Michelle does an amazing job of capturing this character and really letting you be able to relate to the character as well. I felt pretty inspired by her power and its always great to see female leads in films.
Overall, due to the great suspense provided and the mystery and scares. Really fun watch and really set up a great scene Great movie and great acting, directing and casting
Taken (2008)
One and done
The movie itself isn't fantastic, it isn't something thats never been done. But if you want a good action flick. Loook no further. One of the best of the past couple years and with one of the catchiest lines of all time.
But, the sequel did ruin it. It did not need a sequel. Simple idea, portrayed in kind of silly way, but just great action. Really good shoot em up flick.
Overall worth seeing and I recommend it to anyone in the mood for some good violence and shooting.
Great movie
