That was an excellent one.

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
View Morespoilers, and not only on this film. you've been warned.This was a decent film, but it certainly had it's weird and frankly, badly written moments.It's about a 28 year old matrass salesman, Brian. We know that he is 28, because his father had him when he was 52 and he's going to his father 80th birthday.He then meets this girl, a daughter of a customer.I really thought this was some book adaptation gone bad, because out of the blue, this girl wants to have sex with Brian.Also, his attacker pulls a Tyler Durden on him, which is never explained.It seems people are upset this is marketed as a rom-com. I mean, get over it, it's not the filmmakers responsibility to deal with marketing.This is a good film, with great actors, some of which are under used, like Clarke Peters and Leven Rambin, although she's kinda overrated.But the story has loose ends, and not in a good, open-ended kind of way.7/10 The Melancholic Alcoholic.
View MoreThis is the kind of movie that makes you want to grab the first emo kid you see on the street and forcibly give him a perm.Take all the indie movies ever made. Take the worst scene from each one. Slap them all together, and there you have "Gigantic". It suffers from all the clichés that make people hate indie films: mumbling characters that irritate the crap out of you, no script to speak of, jokes where the audience is evidently supposed to imagine the punchline, and so much cynicism you wonder why the writer didn't just kill himself when he was 16.Throw in a bunch of homophobic wisecracks, anti-Semitic slurs, racial slurs of all shapes & sizes, and an opening scene of animal cruelty (American Humane did not monitor this film), and here you have a bona fide painful experience.I think I laughed more watching "Platoon" than I did watching this dud of a movie.Please don't think all indie films are like this. If you want to see a hilarious non-Hollywood rom-com, look for a film called "Buffalo 66" with Christina Ricci and Vincent Gallo. For Zooey fans of course there's "(500) Days of Summer". Skip this and watch something, anything, else.
View MoreI am in to quirky comedies, but this one is beyond lame. I love Zooey, but it was painful watching her and Paul Dano play their typical personalities in this wannabe symbolic bullsh!t quirky comedy. I was very disappointed and found myself washing dishes and smoking a cigarette while my girlfriend hung in there. Zooey's quirky personality is played out in this movie, and Paul Dano is a horrible casting role for the protagonist, if you can call him that. I hate to sound so down on a risky film, because I appreciate them going outside the box, but this is so beyond pandering to the indie crowd it makes me sick. I can give it a four out of ten being completely honest. There are some smart parts in this movie, but that's not enough to save it from a sorry plot and poor casting.
View MoreI'm Paul Dano. Despite what you believe from Little Miss Sunshine, I can speak. Words are still pretty useless since I'm so EMO. I want a Chinese baby, preferably girl. I met my dream girl and we immediately did it without pretense. Her dad is friends with The Dude and he has back problems that is a metaphor for Wall Street or greed or something. I do mushrooms with my dad, and The Snuggler tries to kill me on occasion. There's a black guy. Oh yeah my movie starts with a non-veiled metaphor involving drowning rats that is supposed to set up what the movie's about. And we threw in a title that doesn't make sense. Eat it up, you retarded geniuses! Stuffs r all blue and cinematography and god and the bible (I gave up watching after an hour.)
