Okay, let's start the new year off with something that I've put off for far too long.
I really wanted to add Gimme Shelter, but I'll wait for the next rendition because I can't really place it without putting some considerable thought into where it would go and what would get knocked off. Yeah... it's weird but sometimes I actually don't knock off the bottom movie (though obviously something near the bottom).
Okay anyway, I don't know how much depth I'll go into talking about them, for the sake of speed. I may give a paragraph, or maybe just a sentence, or I may just post pictures and director/writer/actors/genre/year etc...
Oh, and for the record I rate all of these movies except for the top 5 which I give .
I loved the dark gritty feel, and all of the characters were so interesting. I thought the acting was pretty good unlike most of Miike's movies. There was some pretty gruesome violent and sexual content. The main character was a kind of anti-hero. I think the cinematography alone would put most people off of the movie, but it really works to create the dirty disgusting feeling that is crucial to the grungy atmosphere. IMDB lists it as a Crime/Drama/Mystery, but I think Crime/Thriller is more fitting.
