  • King of Devil's Island 2011

    ★★★★ Added

    As I watched this film, I felt sadness at first for the things these boys had to endure. Then, as things just kept getting worse, the sadness was overshadowed by anger. Then, as the tragedy escalated, the anger was amplified by an infinite tower of hatred. It was not easy to watch.

    It's intresting this film. At first it seems so black and white, but all these people are more complicated than that.

    I believe I just watched an epic battle between good and evil, and everybody lost.

  • Castaway on the Moon 2009

    ★★★★½ Watched 11 Apr, 2012 2

    I delayed watching this for a year or so because the description on Netflix was "meh." But, last night I put it on as I was eating my dinner. WOW, it surprised me. This film was a delight. The only other movie I can think of that sort of feels like this one is Amelie. This was MUCH better than I had expected it to be. It was overall a very very good film. I am undecided if this film is a "perfect" film or if it's just a "damn good" film, so for now I'll give 4.5 stars.

    This movie is insanely awesome. Not much happens during the film, but the humanity of the story is second to none. This movie was all about great visuals and great character development, and it's one of the very best ever made.
