I never was able to get out to see all the movies that were coming out that we're known to be really really good, etc. The last movie I saw in theaters was The Dark Knight Rises, but before that, it had been years since I'd been in a movie theater. I think Inception is on Netflix as well, but i'm not completely sure.

I recently watched Memento on Netflix as well, and that movie is a hell of a mindfuck.

I love the scene where the bitch slaps him in the face. I didn't think i could despise the hot chick from matrix but she made me hate her.

For real. I really liked Guy Pearce in it as well. It was the first movie i'd seen him in and I think he pulled off the role very well.

Clockers (1995)

I can definitely see how this film gets kind of glossed over when people discuss Spike Lee's filmography. It's got some good performances by Harvey Keitel and Mikhi Phifer, and does even manage to have a real sense of authenticity about it, but it kind of feels like a very standard type of authenticity, like as if it were going down a checklist. There is definitely some really interesting cinematography and well executed scenes, but there's some massive structural issues that kind of make the second act hard to follow. If you're into hood movies and have already seen movies like Training Day and Boyz n the Hood then this one is definitely worth a look.

Watched this not long ago:

2011

Was a great social commentary for the first half. Didn't really like much of it toward the later half after the guy met the girl, although there were still really great parts.
Basically, the movie is about a guy who gets sick and tired of the stupidity and absolute crap that goes on in America and snaps. Sorta "Falling Down", but comedy.
Also, there's a movie theater shooting scene...

Total Recall (2012)

okay, i have to admit i watched this because there's nothing else for me to watch for me. still, i thought it was pretty good and rather pretty. it's pretty much a non-stop rollercoaster ride and has some good ideas. some of the dialogue was taken straight from the short story (which was only 5 pages long anyway) and scenes have nods to Arnie's version (the three-breasted hooker although they're not bare)

curious mix of Blade Runner, Star Wars, Minority Report and The Matrix and some references to the Judge Dredd comics - the concept of "The Fall" was pretty well executed

the actors do well, especially the grudge match between Farrell and Bullock, both look like they were completely into it

hugely entertaining - 8/10

I saw Moonrise Kingdom last night and thought that it was fantastic. It was a nice and quirky comedy that didn't stray too far offbeat, and the all star cast was a plus too. Definitely the best movie (not counting The Dark Knight Rises) that I've seen in theatres since The Tree of Life. 9/10

I agree :) Great movie which instantly became one of my Wes Anderson favorites.
