^^ Anchorman was on TV tonight then I saw this all over facebook!
I've recently watched a few VERY questionable movies due to living with odd housemates and watching extreme season on Film4: "Better Luck Tomorrow" which follows a crew of super smart and gifted asian kids at an american college who grow tired of normal life so they begin committing petty crimes for kicks but it spirals out of control when they start to deal drugs and go after bigger money. Really weird film, if you're bored late at night it gets a 4/5, any other time a 2/5 for poor acting and a plot that is seemingly ignorant of reality. "Hobo With a Shotgun" is just absolutely mind blowingly gory for no reason at all other than it is slightly associated with Rober Rodriguez (who did Machete). It just gets gorier and gorier, following an angry homeless guy who the viewer knows nothing about. He is disgusted by the unnamed city he has found himself in where everybody finds it hilarious to cut people open and beat innocent children to death so he buys a shotgun and goes on a rampage. If you've got some mates round and you'd all have a laugh at the ridiculous situations that occur then I'd give it a 3.5/5 for laugh factor. Last but not least "Import/Export" is possibly one of the grimmest movies I've ever encountered. It follows the lives of two people who interestingly never meet in the film. One story is Paul who is an unemployed security guard in Vienna who goes to Ukraine with his hateful stepdad in search of work. The contrasting story is a nurse in Ukraine who leaves for Vienna in search of work as she is tired of the crap wages and having tho do part time in the sex industry. The really horrifying part of this film is that most of the "actors" are not actors. They are real people living hopeless lives. They are real dying dementia patients in the hospitals. Heavy stuff but has so many undertones when you research it that it might be worth the pain of sitting through some of the uncomfortable scenes. 3/5 |
