Dark City
(1998)
Now THIS is imagination
10 November 1998
Atmosphere is what this film is all about - eerie, dark, and absolutely irresistible. Any one who can write such an imaginative and unusual script deserves to be praised.
The plot is simple yet complicated - a man wakes in a hotel room with no knowledge as to why he is there.He is then pursued by unusually tall men who seem bent on ending his existence. Gradually he discovers that these "men" have special powers that enable them to stop time and erase the memories of the people living in the city and that he too has these special abilities.The whole film is like a puzzle and every so often a small piece is put into it so that gradually you have a broad idea as to what is happening.The largest piece of the puzzle is left until the very end which keeps the film interesting.
See it and you'll know why I love this film so damn much.

Stand by Me
(1986)
The Fountain of youth of films
10 November 1998
Stand by me is one of the greats. Not only because of the incredible acting or the intriguing storyline but because it really does remind you of your own childhood. And it does it in such a way that at the end of the film you feel like these were your own memories and that you've just travelled back in time. Great character design and even greater actors make this a classic that makes you feel young again. What more can be said. River Phoenix ruled.
