Let me tickle you further.

*draws closer to ear and whispers*

I have been watching Joaquin Phoenix "The Master" since March and I haven't even reached the halfway point.

LOL. I've never watched the movie before, but with the way they described how boring it is on this thread, I swore never to see it. I don't envy you at all. grin

The Island (2005)
Genre: Action, Sci-fi, Thriller

The Island is a fast-paced, and suspense filled thriller set in a dystopian future, with a theme uncovering the danger of excesses.

The story is about clones that are secretly housed in a facility far removed from the outside world, and are kept under control with lies, and intimidation.

It's a typical Michael Bay film, so the cinematography is very appealing. The pacing is taut. The action scenes are well done, and stylish. Evan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson did their bits very well, esp McGregor. The Brit is the the standout performer in my books - loved the scene where he switched seamlessly from American accent to British accent, and back to American accent. ScarJo and Sean Bean are immense, but my runner-up MVP goes to Steve Buscemi. He didn't get a lot of screen time, but the few times he's on screen, he ruled.

The film isn't all sunshine and rainbows, it has it's shortcomings as well. For instance, the editing could be better. In addition, it lacks much needed expository content that would have made the plot line much more coherent. Likewise, the inability to expound on the uniqueness of Lincoln Six-Echo kinda undermined the general efforts of the protagonist.

In conclusion, it's not a masterpiece, but if you need a diversion to kill the time with, this is it.

Green Zone (2010)....7/10
Genre:Action, Drama, Thriller

I'm really impressed by this flick, cause it's quite rare to see an action movie that doesn't glorify the almighty Uncle Sam as the good guy. Although fiction, It kinda follows the actual events of what transpired in Iraq & pokes into some very sensitive unasked questions as regards the war between America & Iraq.

A tautly paced engrossing intelligent thriller, with no shortage of action. The cast were excellent, Matt Damon really aced his role. Direction was top-notch, so were the cinematography & soundtracks.

Does America have the right, to impose a government(puppet) of their own choosing, on a democratic sovereign state?....

Alextaiwo & abduleez1, do check this one out.

Hated the shakey-cam used in this movie.
Overall i found the movie quite average....

The Killing Gene (2007)
Genre: Crime, Drama, Horror

This film is not for the faint of heart, it's graphic, and deals with sensitive topics.

It's revenge-styled story about a woman with a grudge, and a score to settle with her traumatic past. This movie gives a whole new meaning to the the adage, "Hell halt no fury than a woman scorned."

Loved the somber, and noir-esque mood, and tone. The bleak cinematography gives the audience a a fly-on-the-wall perspective into the depressing story. Stellan Skarsgaard played a moody detective with a dark secret. I've come to associate Stellan with moody and dark roles. Like in every other role I've seen him portray, he aced this one. The supporting actress, Melissa George, didn't have much to do, beyond pouting, and scowling. Tom Hardy didn't get a lot of screen time, and the few times he did, didn't particularly impress me. Selma Blair played the broken, but vengeful villain pretty well. Her voice gave me the creeps - It's filled with agony, but at the same time, filled with malice.

The high points of the film are, Stellan and Selma Blair's acting, cinematography, score, the graphic and ultra-realistic torture scene, coherent script, plot twist, and the ending.

Be that as it may, the failure to expound on how Jean kidnaps her much larger and stronger quarries will always weigh the the plot line down. Furthermore, the inability to show most of the torture scenes didn't do the film any favours.

In conclusion, it's a thought provoking horror/drama that's designed to keep the audience at the edge of their seat.

Drive(2011)-8.5/10
A nice action crime thriller i have to say...
Excellent cast, great camera shots and the pacing was well done...
One thing the movie has is great chemistry between Ryan gosling and Carrey mulligan,
Even without speaking, their eye contacts portray such deep affection for each other...
The movie is also ultra- violent which is a plus in my book,
There were some scenes that left me quite shocked by the level of violence portrayed.
I loved the music score especially the driving scene at the end
And the Ending, was quite unexpected, leaves it open for interpretation
All in all, its a superb crime movie that takes you along its journey..
I can see why it's become a cult classic over the years.

I also fancied the music score sung at the driving scenes. Ryan gosling is such a fine actor, i wonder why his career didn't blossom.

It's a Michael Bay movie, & as such, all his movies asides the very first Transformers movie lacks the above.

It's good but a very long Slow Burn and very Talky. But it pays off at the ending.

It's about the tales and efforts the US govt put into the tracking and killing of Osama Bin Laden.

Jessica Chastain gave a beautiful performance. More like Claire Daines of Homeland. I've reviewed it here before.

It does sound gangster. when you hear the name, bloods and crips comes to mind. Bloods and crips are rival street gangs based in LA California.

She gave a more temperate performance. Carrie Mathison would have tortured the terrorist in her shoes.
