Smokin’ Aces (2007)Sunday, August 26th, 2007 |
|
The Bottom LineThe second film from the decidedly warped imagination of writer/director Joe Carnahan is every bit as edgy as Narc, his critically acclaimed debut film. Carnahan’s Smokin’ Aces is a fast-paced, twisting, complicated thriller/dark comedy loaded with graphic violence and filled with some of the most interesting characters imaginable.Smokin’ Aces is outrageous and just goes for it, and it’s definitely not for those who don’t enjoy seeing blood and body parts splattered all over the screen. For those who like their films heavy on guts and gore, Smokin’ Aces delivers the bloody goods in spades.

Donnie Darko (2001)Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 |
|
The twisted vision of suburbia circa 1988 that is “Donnie Darko” made quite an impact at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, becoming one of the Festival’s most talked about films. “Donnie Darko” is an extraordinary look at one teenager as he attempts to come to grips with the theory of time travel, the search for answers to the existence of God, and the secret knowledge the world will soon end, while battling an assortment of hallucinations and delusions. The film’s a dark coming-of-age tale told by way of a provocative script, and superbly acted out by Jake Gyllenhaal and a highly recognizable cast of supporting players. It’s strange and twisted, yet charming, thought provoking and highly original. |
