I enjoyed it way more than I should have, thought the underlying morality 'read between the lines stuff' was a bit stupid, and totally loved the chemistry between Robert Downey Jr and Mel Gibson .. although Roberts eyes were looking damn glassed over for most of the film .. he was definitely into his drugs by this point in time. All in all worth checking out again.

If this is the standard for an awesome freaking party nowadays all I can say is that Im worried for when Bay is a teenager. Holy crap is this party rediculous and over the top but I actually really liked the film and its style, its a really good use of the found footage format. In a funny way it just represents the total anarchy of teen parties to the max and while I totally understand its just a fake party for a film that will likely never happen, its crazy to see it play out.

It really is quite an extraordinary film and in my opinion deserves best picture, but its strange in this day and age not to have big soundtracks, dialogue and lots going on. Its brilliantly portrayed and acted, with such a clever script I was giggling often and super impressed but I was also a little bored at times and found my concentration wandering. Maybe thats just a sign of the times that I cant concentrate long enough but I recommend this film a lot. I laughed often and was overall impressed plus its just refreshing to see something different. It got me all inspired and Ive started writing the next script for a short film!

Its directed by Werner Herzog who is a really famous documentary filmmaker who has done some others Ive seen. What this film actually is though is a look at the impact of a triple murder committed by two 18 year olds on themselves, their families and the victims families. It shows real police evidence footage which is really graphic, but, the thing that shocked me the most was when they interview the guy on death row the week before he is killed. The things he says just show such a warped and institutionalised frame of view its sickening, let alone what he did and denies doing. So once again, this film was captivating but also troubling and only watch it if your happy to mope for a few more weeks about how disgusting people can be.

Its a movie about the hunger strikes of the IRA in northern Ireland in the 80's filmed by Steve McQueen who Ive heard a lot of buzz about (and rightly so) and starring the man of the moment Michael Fassbender who has grown even closer to becoming the new Daniel Day Lewis for me after his turn as the lead character in this film. He does a bit of a Christian Bale and starves himself in real life to show how weak and disgusting the actual men would have looked in the 80's and at one point he is bent over and his rib cage is sticking out from him like a weird breast or something and he is playing with it. It was terrifying.
This movie is utterly amazing but is also truly horrifying so I only recommend watching it when you can handle having thoughts running rampant in your head for a few weeks about how evil people can be, wondering why humans do what they do and what it must feel like to have such conviction to your cause that you will starve yourself and others to make a point to another countries government.
