Knowing (2009)
What was that?
SLIGHT SPOILERS NOTHING MAJOR I just saw Knowing and it was one of the worst movies i'd seen in a while. It started strong with a flashback to the page of numbers being made , then it went to Cage as a MIT professor and his son gets a mysterious page of numbers. He goes around trying to stop disasters, and never does anything. Then his kid is stalked by pale people that seem straight out of the Davinci code. They realize an impending doom.
It is incredibly violent at parts, but most of it is boring. He spends most of the movie looking at a sheet of paper and driving around looking worried. Some people say the ending is 'thought provoking', but i found it ridiculous. I would skip this one.
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (1966)
A classic western
This movie blew me away. It introduces the good, the bad, and the ugly swiftly showing them fulfill there name (kind of.) Blondie and Tuco have an uneasy relationship, in which they often try to kill each other. Angel Eyes is off looking for a man at all costs. You soon find out about tons of gold and the characters are off looking, teaming up one moment, then killing each other the next.
The most interesting character was Tuco, who truly filled the role of the 'ugly.' He was a twisted man, and extremely enjoyable to walk. There's some great action and it's amazingly shot, with extreme close ups, most noticeably in the standoff in the finally, as the camera switches between the eyes of the duelers and there hands about to grab there guns. As it gets tighter and tighter and tension rises the guns go off in an extremely great scene. A last note the score is awesome.
You must see this movie. Truly amazing.
