I will now review the first 5 of my previous list of movies (the first being in order I watched them, not in order listed), plus a movie not listed, 'Changeling'.

-Clerks. ---***1/2
           I have alot of love for this Generation X comedy. Fitting perfectly into the'90s, this comedy won't appeal to the MySpace generation, but why would you want it to. Very funny , and witty without being nauseating (like mostindie films such as the overrated yet still good 'Juno'). It's crud, rude, offensive, and just plain fun. Definately worth a watch. Note: Don't dismiss it for it's interesting R rating (R: for Extensive use of extremely explicit sex related dialogue - no lie, straight from the box), because there is more to it htan crude humor. There is substance to what they say.
Â
-Se7en ---***1/2
Â
      This movie surprised me. I expected it to be more 'Saw' like, but was pleasently surprised by an intense, disturbing, and engaging thriller that grips you tighter than any would even attempt today, with the VERY few exceptions. Yes, it's graphic, but there is only 2 scenes of actually violence. Tons of suspense, and a couple of stomache churning scenes.
Â
-Donnie Darko ---***
Â
      This cult classic is jsut that: a cult classic. It's weird as hell, but definately interesting. Some interesting plot points ahead, and a 6-ft. tall Demonic bunny rabbit, make this worth seeing, even if you don't understand it. No one else does.
Â
-No Country for Old Men ---****
Â
      Another intense, and artistically put together film, very diserving of Best Picture (it's primary opponent, There Will Be Blood, is also a great film, though not for all audiences). Though graphically violent, a lack of any music whatsoever (except for one part, I believe) gives the film a very fresh, yet dry feeling. It's great.
Â
-Forgetting Srah Marshal [UR]Â ---***
Â
     Very funny film from the Apatow gang keeps you laughing throughout, while still making it (sort of) believable. Nothing much to be said except it's a good movie.
Â
-Changeling ---***1/2
Â
     Another great, emotional film out in theatres now is also intense (Jeez, too many thriller like films!) and willl have you following the film to the point, even if you don't know what will be solved and or how long it will go (yes, it is a bit long). Still, highly recomended.
