    Re: Last Movie You Saw/Recommendations

    Black Swan.
    I seriously have little to say about this film.
    Creepy and often indecent. Not usually what I get from ballet *hmm* Good acting. For that, I'd give it 7/10, but I'm not much for these weird films, I left it feeling: "WHAT!?!" so for the lack of enjoyment factor, 3/10

    I have been recommended to watch this film over and over. Not sure why I haven't picked up on it yet. But you're the first person I've seen give it such a low score :/

    As for me
    Cashback - Just one of those films I happened to stumble upon Netflix. You can always find a diamond in the rough with Netflix.
    I felt it did a rather good job of showing that nudity can be constructive towards something like art, rather than just being a addiction for pleasure.
    Its a rather interesting film, involving time freezing, a love story, and some general humor.

    Its hard to talk about this movie without spoiling anything. Its a movie about a man that has lost everything and hates the world around him and begins to go on a shooting spree. He cannot stand what America has become. A nation that finds entertainment in the humiliation of others (lame american idol contestants) people that are praised for being ignorant, loud, self centered etc. All of this is explained in the movie in such a way that you could relate to how this man is feeling. The movie does an excellent job of getting you to understand the personality of the main character which allows you to immerse yourself in a world that isnt so far from reality.

    Its a dark comedy and I would give it 6/10. It wasn't bad, but it wasnt spectacular either. It was like a decent game with no replay value. I dont think I'd watch it again.
    I found it to be a lot of fun, one of the best comedies I've seen recently. It touches some serious issues regarding todays television and people in general in rather fun and hilarious way... it's a 7/10 movie for me.

    Good Will Hunting - one of those classics I missed out on, well, not quite. I've seen it before, though until now I could only recall bits and pieces. A definite must see, movie that lived up to it's hype as far as I'm concern. Will's struggle, uncertainty and inability to decide what to do with his life was well done, love his somewhat strange yet funny at times relationship with his psychiatrist, Sean... 8/10 (recommendation)

    Re: Last Movie You Saw/Recommendations

    Movies are my second interest next to video games. I know it's supposed to be the last movie I saw, but I will post my recommendations after.

    The Confession

    The plot revolves around a hitman (Kiefer Sutherland - known simply as "The Confessor") and a priest (John Hurt) discussing good and evil in a confessional on a snowy night. The confessor tells the priest that he has killed many people and he is not sorry for it, because they deserved to die. He also states that he will kill tonight, unless the priest hears his confession. At first the priest refuses to be involved in the confessor's game, but after the confessor threatens the lives of the priest's congregation, he agrees to hear him out.

    I refuse to give out more information on this movie, as it was simply one of the best films I've seen in my entire life. It was originally a web-series by Kiefer Sutherland, but can be found on DvD in stores. I recommend trying to find this rare movie in full, or simply try finding the web-series online. Whatever you do; I guarantee you will appreciate this film.

However unlawful, he uses intimidation and brutal force to defend his ideals. The most notorious of his actions is purportedly murdering a suspected serial date rapist, which is why he has been given the nickname "Date Rape Dave". He lives with two of his ex-wives - sisters Barbara (Cynthia Nixon) and Catherine (Anne Heche) - in an effort to keep family together, namely his two daughters, Helen (Brie Larson) and Margaret (Sammy Boyarsky), who each have a different sister as their mother.
