Freedom Tower

A homeless man in NYC found blueprints (the ones that are given out to those bidding the building) for the Freedom Tower while rummaging through a trash can.
priceless.

Southland Tales

The one single thing that made this film fail was this: The Rock. Yep. The cast of this film is so diverse and funny with cameos up the yin yang and then you have the damn Rock as the main character. I was picturing someone a little more like Benico Del Toro a la The Usual Suspects.
The one person you can't deny that can act (even though you don't want to admit it) is Justin Timberlake. The dream sequence in the arcade had me practically rolling on the floor laughing so hard. I'd also have to say Sara Michelle's character Krysta Now had me cracking up at how eccentric and over the top she was.
To understand and appreciate this movie I think is to get where Richard Kelley is coming from. This isn't Donnie Darko, no other film will ever be Donnie Darko, so let's just get that out of the way right off the bat. He wrote this story well before the idea of "homeland security" and modified it after 9-11 and like Darko it uses a lot of the same themes and ideas that have given Kelley his style. Highly polished, music driven, darkly funny, low budget awesomeness. In the making since 2004 and not even released in theatres until end of 2007 I can understand why the bigwigs of Hollywood didn't understand this movie. It's making fun of them, it's taking a stab at the US government, and it's filled with over the top interactive media that blends into a moving comic book literally.
No one over 35 will understand that I'm sure. Maybe I'm being an ass?
Maybe it's because adults have a hard time accepting someone else's imagination?

Stop Loss

I would have to say this movie is one of the biggest disappointments I've seen since the Iraq war started. What could have been a slap in George Bush's face and a battle cry for families who have lost someone in Iraq, was turned into a pro-war, be a war hero story. I hope that doesn't spoil it for anyone, but I wouldn't even recommend going to see it if you are disgusted with US war policy and really feel soldiers need to stand up for THEMSELVES and not be walked all over by the US government.
Put it this way. I respect any solider who has gone AWOL after being stop loss. You did your duty, don't let the government force you to go back. It's your human right to say no and it's ok to be a little selfish sometimes.
