Rubber(2010)

If Garden stage(blog link) will keep a smile on your face through the movie, this one will have you draw question marks in the air throughout. This movie will take you on a journey that is less traveled upon and more where the fuck is this going. Rubber(IMDB) is a movie about a tire that has psychic powers. Yes, it does sound a little far fetched, but, the reason I like this movie is the fact that director Quentin Dupieux just shows all of us that a tire can do an actor's job. And I think that is why it got so many bad reviews(especially at Cannes). I say, give this movie a chance since its been told really well. Good camera work, decent production design, decent acting and and some great direction automatically earns a spot on my list of good movies. 

Here is the trailer.

I'm back with Garden State(2004)

Alright. I have decided to give my blog one last chance. Henceforth, I will be posting info on movies that are not really mainstream or movies you might not have heard of but are gonna be a treat to watch. Maybe an odd new mainstream movie if it actually deserves a post.

 

Lets start off the new cycle with a movie called Garden State(IMDB). Starring, written and directed by Zach Braff. If you feel like you have heard his name before, you've watched the TV show called Scrubs. I always had a feeling he was a good actor but, he impressed me with his directorial skills in this movie. And I personally believe its a tough job to act and direct at the same time. If it weren't, we would have had at least 50 Jack Black movies by now, no kidding. The movie is about a troubled young man who goes back home after several years for his mother's funeral. He meets people from his past and some new. A nicely told story with a great background score and beautiful cinematography. Natalie Portman as always has done a great job in this movie too. Yeah, yeah I know you are thinking of the crazy laugh, But no, no crazy laughs in this movie. Peter Sarsgaard also plays a good part in the movie. All in all, when you watch this movie, you have a smile on your face (most of the time). And I like movies that do that. Go ahead and watch it and post your thoughts in the comments. 

Up next: A movie about a tire? A tire with psychic powers? wtf?
