Adaptation. (2002)
Chris Cooper should be in every movie.
The first time I saw this movie, I was somewhat confused at the end. I liked it, but I was confused. After thinking about it for a while, and the entire situation surrounding the movie, I realized how genuinely genius this film is. Though it's not THAT complicated, thinking about it too much might give you a slight tumor. Constantly thinking about the actual story, and the movie, then the actual story, then what actually happened, then what was written into the movie... it goes on and on. I didn't like Being John Malkovich (Maybe because I was told it was a hysterical comedy. Maybe I just have a tumor and can't tell the difference between good movies and bad movies. Who knows?), but this movie was definitely worth it. Chris Cooper's acting is spectacular, and Nicholas Cage was, to my surprise, very good also. I didn't think he could play this kind of character accurately. Rent this movie, then go buy it. Why? 'Cause Chris Cooper needs to make more movies where he's missing teeth. That's why.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Horror doesn't get much better than this.
What can I say? I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out in '99 and I was blown away. Watching it again the other night, I realized how much of an innovative movie this is. I've heard many people complain about it being "not scary" and a lack of any real "cinematic art." When it comes to a horror movie, cinematic art comes last. If I want to be scared, I want to be scared. I don't wanna' watch some paper thin teen horror story where every scare is cheap. Making someone jump is not scary. Anything can do that. Someone drops a book on a table in a quiet library, and there'd be a good chance that you might jump. Is that book scary? No. Is the library scary? No. Is the librarian scary? Maybe, but that's not the point. My point is that it's hard to make a genuinely frightening film, and this is one of the few. If you're going to watch a horror movie, don't watch one that relies on cheap scares. Please.
