I’ve been wanting to write some reviews for a while now, and I find myself in a cold Friday night and decided to do it.
I saw a lot of movies during the holidays, I had a lot to catch up. But I found two movies that definitely, are two of the best movies I’ve ever saw in my life. I’ll start with the most popular one. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I hadn’t heard of this movie ever before (which I regret), but one day during the vacations, a good friend of mine suggested it and I got myself to watch it.
During the first part of the movie, I got a bit confused, you really don’t know what’s going on. But the music, which is so thrilling and magical, adds a special touch which enables you to continue watching. As the movie rolls on, you start to match the jigsaws in the puzzle, and as the movie goes on, you start to get the complete frame. I don’t know exactly what got me so emotional about this movie, but I suspect it has something to do with how the couple is so different but at the same time they are meant to be together. During all the flashbacks, you really get to see how they really should stay together, and they get the message, and regret the decision they took. I really felt how this two characters were trying to stay together and were willing to try one more time.
I really recommend this movie to those persons that don’t just sit and watch. It’s more for those persons that sit, watch, think and think again.
Another great flick that I was really fascinated for is Primer. One hell of a movie. This is not a Hollywood movie, instead, it’s a movie that was done with a $7000 budget and is very impressive what has been done. I really don’t want to give any spoilers of any kind about this movie, just a very important tip: This is not a regular “Joe’s favorite movie ever”. You have to be ingenious to really find out what is happening and you need to pay a lot of attention. Please, watch this movie and try to pay attention, it’s worth it.
In the Video Games section, I played God of War II. I had always heard great things about the GoW franchise, but since I don’t own a PS2, there wasn’t much I could do. But since a few weeks, I been playing with a PS2 that I borrowed from a friend of mine. God… (pun intended), this game is FUCKING AWESOME. God of War II totally blew my mind of off. It was incredibly great. I haven’t play GoW I, so I wasn’t so sure about going full into the second game, but after a while, I decided to play it anyways. What a game! It’s not too long, so I finished it in a couple of days, but wow, I enjoyed it a lot! Soon I’ll try to get GoW I in my hands and play it.
Talking about Video Games, tomorrow I’ll be doing something I’d never tried before. I’m going to race a friend on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We are setting up two TV’s with two OoT’s ready to be played for about 10 hours. We are racing to see who can finish the game first. I’ m feeling confident that I might be able to pull it off quicker, so lets see what happens.
I have to wake up early tomorrow but I’m planning to sleep after watching No Country For Old Men, which I haven’t heard anything but great reviews. I’m forcing myself to watch it, because I’m so sleepy at the moment…
