2. Pi — 5 years ago

A lot of people said this movie bored or confused them, but I liked it. There are some interesting concepts in the movie and I found myself wanting to talk about it afterwards. Also, the message was good, the story never got too heavy and the conclusion was satisfactory. Visually, the movie was really something special. It didn’t look or feel like a movie at all and the high contrast black and white film worked exceptionally for the paranoid nature of the movie. Three thumbs up.


1. Identity — 5 years ago

This movie wasn’t perfect, but it was a lot of fun. Even though I thought I had it guessed, the movie had enough turns to throw anyone off the trail. The atmosphere was exceptional, the direction was tight and apart from a particularly weak closing minute, a really good movie. I recommend it.
