Just a few I've seen lately.
Fight Club[/size], (Fincher, '99)
-Really nothing more to say, just fantastic on all levels. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt contrast each other well in the beginning and I love every moment of this film. The ending is just fantastic how it all works together.
The People Vs. Larry Flynt, (Forman, '96)
-
-A very, well, weird movie. I did not enjoy Larry Flynt much, especially the random outbursts he does. I do however, do like what he has done for the press in general, and he has contributed to society, even if he is a self-proclaimed scum bag. Edward Norton felt underused also, Courtney Love did surprisingly well.
Choke, (Gregg, '08)
-Another movie based on a Chuck Palahniuk novel. The man creates some great stories, and this movie is highly under-rated and not buzzed about often. It's enjoyable and the twists are cool, it's not Fight Club good, but if you ever find it, it's worth your time.
American History X (Kaye, '98)
+
-Brutal. Just, brutal. However, did not like it as much as I used to, still a genius movie, but Edward Furlong's performance annoyed me, and the ending is still just comes out of nowhere.
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (Geda, '00)
-
-Ahh nostalgia. Finally watched the "unrated" version, after watching the semi-trimmed up version I grew up with while growing up. Mark Hamill's voice man, that messes with me at night. The story is pretty good, still am not a huge fan of the ending, but it is a fun movie and you should check it out.
Thank You for Smoking. (Reitman, '05)
+
-Aaron Eckhart runs this movie, and it's just a great comedy. I love the character of Nick Naylor, and this movie is definitely worth watching for all the great characters it produces.
The Dark Knight Rises. (Nolan, '12)
-Honestly just not a huge fan. Too many plot holes, and it just gets too ridiculous to be taken as "this is somewhat feasible." Was not a huge fan of Bane's voice, Anne Hathaway is still ridiculously good looking though. Fun movie, just night Dark Knight good.
The Dark Knight (Nolan, '08)
-Sheer comic book movie perfection. Nothing can be said that hasn't been already said.
