My Review: A cult classic. Young punk becomes a repo man after losing his job stacking cans. A great movie. Funny, cycnical, bitting, and telling. A sci-fi punk flick.

Collection ID 452
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Starring: Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans, Christopher McDonald
Genre: Drama
Studio: Artisan Entertainment   Release date: 2000   Rated: R   
Language (Country): English (USA)
Summary: The drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island individuals are shattered when their addictions become stronger.
My Rating:
My Review: Screenplay by Darren Aronofsky and Hubert Selby Jr (based upon his book of same name). Directed by Darren Aronofsky (Pi, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Noah). Starring Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans and others. Visually stunning, and psychologically affecting. This movie examines the lives of four drugged up Coney Island/Brighton Beach residents. A movie that will definitely give you pause when you take that next pill. The four characters are Sara Goldfarb (played by Ellen Burstyn), Harry (played by Jared Leto), Tyrone (played by Marlon Wayans) and Marion (played by Jennifer Connelly). These characters are all taking pills for different reasons, some prescribed, some not. All the characters are addicted and messed up because of the drugs. Some are ostracized, some are praised. Their reasons for taking the pills seem normal and rational - of course they are. Definitely challenges our programmed acceptance of pill-popping, regardless of the reasons. Ellen Burstyn was phenomenal, what a pro. The direction was superb, even if the film was a bit dark. The sound, music, editing and camera work were excellent. All meshed together flawlessly. This certainly isn't a mainstream Hollywood production, but it certainly proves that there is still a group of people out there who are willing to create masterful visions despite the mainstream profit motive. I give this movie a 4 out of 5.

The parent corporation sends in an elite military unit, where they meet Alice, who is suffering from amnesia due to exposure to nerve gas. The military team must shut down the computer and get out, fighting their way past zombies, mutants, and the computer itself, before the virus escapes and infects the rest of the world. Alice must also come to terms with her slowly-returning memories.
My Rating:
My Review: Resident Evil: (2002 - Action, horror, sci-fi, fantasy) A video game made into a movie. Not the greatest movie, but it was entertaining. I've played the games, and I enjoyed this movie. The mood was consistent with that set by the games. The music helped considerably, and the lighting was well done. The acting in this movie was fairly blasé, as in - It wasn't very good. The writing was o.k. This movie presents a slight deviation from the original game, but nothing surprising. The cgi was pretty poor, but the carmera work was good. All in all - I was happy with it. Considering the fact that it was a video game made into a movie, I'd have to say they did a good job. The director did a good job at creating a heightened sense of fear and suspense. It kept me jumping. 3 out of 5.
