Movie Mania and the average Joe
So the oscars are just around the corner and frankly in all the years that have gone past I have never really given the Oscars a second sniff. However for some reason this year the Oscars intrigues me really.
So what can we expect at the Oscars this time? Well here are a few pointers to get you ahead of the rat pack when it comes to the Oscars 2006.
1) Broke Back Mountain - For those who have not watched this epic love story here is something that might push you to your nearest cinema on a weeknight to watch this film. The title of the film is well explained really by the "action" in the movie. Two dandy cowboys who are surrounded by sheep and the wilderness prefer to indulge in themselves. So the next time someone tells you that they would only do you if there was no one else in the world and there were no sheep well they are clearly lying. Another point to note is the fact that homosexuality is universally tolerant by both mankind and animal kind. The sheep were infact relieved that they were not chosen to play the brutal sexual scenes through the movie. Trend of the year thus shows that beastiality is on its way out - (based on an SPCA report 2006).
2) Syriana - Now I love this movie not only because its the first movie to show how beards can be kept clean, but also the fact that finally the Americans have realized that they screwed up their own oil cushion. But thats not really the crux of the movie .. It was good to see that almost half of the cast of Ocean's twelve can now redeem themselves from that horrific sequel (2005). Amidst the shouting and the loud political vulgarities in the movie there was really a moving tale about how all of us really wish we had some oil to spare, I mean just a million barrels or so thats all I ask ...Is that too much?? (note to self - time to move to Iraq and diggg)
3)Munich - If one were to watch this movie closely one would clearly see that it is directed by Stephen Spielberg. Here are a few tell tale signs a)Eric bana aka zee Hulk - this shows that the dregs of sci-fi has still not distilled from his system b)The color tone of the movie is very Schindlers list meet ET so that one is a give away c) Eric bana again tries to give his I look like Tom Cruise side profile ..Another give away as its well captured by the only man who can make Tom Cruise Look shorter than he really is. d) lastly the whole fact that the phrase "B good" has been used over and over again in the movie along with many contorted formes of the same phrase like "Ill be good" and "lets hope good we can all be". All in all the movie is really not that bad except I had a shocking feeling that the message in the movie (namely V for Vendetta) was strikingly similar to a really bad Hindi movie called Rang de basanti (a movie about a guy who is 35 acting 21 hoping to take the law into his own hands and get away with it .... He doesn't muhahahah).
4)Capote - A movie about an author with a really wired tone in his voice. Goes to show that once a geek always a chance to be an Oscar nominee. Apart from that I must say for actor Philip Hoffman Kudos and a great leap from time bending movies like Along came Polly , Twister and The Big Lebowski.
The four movies posted up there are definitely worth a look. Besides deep meaning and moving art you have to realize that in essence these movies have moments of real comedy. Which gets me thinking why the great movies like Road Trip, Euro Trip, Van Wilder and the rest don't really warrant global recognition. Its real injustice in essence for these movies are true to what they intend to do they intend to make people laugh. Wouldn't it be easier to walk into movies with titles that tell you exactly what they intend to show you here are a few examples
a)Brokeback Mountain - He Broke my back in the mountains
b)Walk the line - Drugs, love and Rock and roll (old school)
c)Crash - Change is good Dawg
d)Munich - Deeper meaning of Vendetta with a few bangs
e)Cinderella man - The true trans-America
f)Underworld Evolution - Vampires in spandex 2
g)Rang de Basanti (foreign entry here) - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...bang....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
h)Final destination 3 - When Roller Coasters attack
I)Syriana - Oil thy beard
j)Jarhead - .....Well..Well... Jarhead
Im geared up for the Oscars and will be waiting nervously in the front of the television egging my best movie on.... or I could be half drunk watching Manchester United beat Wigan again ... damn these choices ..someone help me here I am at a crossroads ..... I need an angel
