Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
kiramorena This is one of the best movies I watched recently. I do tend to watch silly romantic comedies and pointless dramas from time to time, so it might look like a bad recommendation if it comes from me.However, you can trust me on this one. I know (or at least I think I do, it's all a matter of taste) what are the main characteristics of a good movie when I see one - a story, decent acting, perhaps a moral... Even though no one gets murdered (well, almost:D), nothing explodes, no one saves the world from an ultimate destruction (only figuratively:D), despite the fact that it's complete story is placed indoors and follows the poor, boring hard-working lives of a couple of good old' ordinary people, it's STILL dynamic and fun. It pretty much qualifies, based on modern blockbuster standards, to be boring as hell, and to some of you who need action heroes, blood, sex and violence to be amused, it probably will be. This movie's all about modern life flaws, routine, lost hopes and dreams... and introspection. Loads and loads of introspection that's pretty much universal. I watched a lot of movies during the past years. Some I loved, some I hated. There are only a few I had courage to call 'great movie'. This one I dare to call great and it got it's way on my top 10 list of all time.
connermcnicholas I liked this movie a lot. I mean, we all know it's not incredible. But it is quite entertaining and witty. It's one of those movies I like to fall asleep to every night.Also, I'm not sure if anybody else realized this goof, but in the elevator at the beginning, Tom asks Randy for some of his bagel. In the following scenes, they switch positions. It's possible this was intentional because of some mirror in the elevator, but I don't think so. To add to this, lots of characters have extremely purple lipstick on, especially the men.I'd enjoy making sweet, sweet love to Sandra, by the way. I'm not gay or anything but Tom is really hot for a guy. I wish I looked like him.E-mail me if you'd like to discuss this movie or others like it at connermcnicholas@hotmail.com
Camille Zebub One of my top 20 movies for sure.The characters are what make this movie. And the touch or surrealism. The premise is that four coworkers make a bet that whoever is the last to remain inside wins a month's salary. Until then they live their entire lives inside this bubble.One of my favorite props is that even the smokers can live their entire existence indoors; they smoke in these little tubes inside the building.Some of the characters are a kleptomaniac boss, a suicidal cubicle slave, a directionless young office worker, and the initiator of the bet, who had succeeded living indoors for something like a year.
outcest1cide i saw this movie at the WI film fest in madison, which was the midwest premier, complete with the director there for comments and questions after the movie....anyways, although i heard some noise about how the movie was was basically Office Space and Fight Club mixed. This ended up not to be the case. With a great storyline, excellent acting, and nice color, this movie was quite entertaining. Oddly enough, the movie was filmed on DV, yet it doesn't show TOO much after the conversion to film. definately worth it.
