The Darjeeling Limited

July 27th, 2009 Filed under: Movies, Reviews | Tags: , ,

Darjeeling Limited

The Darjeeling Limited

Wes Anderson’s has written some great films. I quite liked The Royal Tenenbaums and still haven’t got around to seeing The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, but I’ll have to get my hands on it to see if it’s half as good as his latest movie The Darjeeling Limited. Simply put The Darjeeling Limited is a master piece and the best film I’ve seen in the last year.

It follows three rich brothers as they travel around India trying to find themselves and bond with each other again like when they were kids. Their spiritual journey that is a little too well planned (laminated daily schedules) goes badly from the beginning, probably because of the all the Indian medication they’re downing. Once their antics got them kicked off a train in the middle of nowhere they were ready to give up and catch the next flight out of there. While finding their way back to civilization they stumble upon three children trying to cross a river. This is where their real journey begins.

I would recommend this to anyone and everyone, so what are waiting for? Go watch it!

    The Life Aquatic is only about half as good as The Darjeeling Limited.

Eagle vs Shark

Eagle vs Shark

Eagle vs Shark

I finally got around to seeing the little kiwi film that could; Eagle vs Shark. The best way I can think of describing it is a kiwi version of Napoleon Dynamite. The basic story follows a nerd who has a huge grudge on a Samoan boy who used to beat him up at school. He has been training in the arts of Kung Fu and fancies himself quite the pro now (Nunchuks are his specialty), so when his high school nemesis returns to his home town from Samoa he leaves at once to kick his ass and regain to families honour. Oh, and there’s a girl, a very geeky girl that is in love with the nerdy boy and will follow him anywhere, even back to his hometown.

Although the movie can get a bit dull in places there are plenty of great scenes that while have you on the verge of wetting your pants in fits of laughter. It is definitely worth watching if you are in the need of a good laugh.

A Film with Me in It

A Film With Me In It

A Film With Me In It

Ivy, Simon and I just got back from seeing this film. We were actually the only three people in the whole cinema, which was a first for me. It was great having the cinema to ourselves because we could be over exaggerated and scream at the screen. It made the film that much more fun.

None of us had heard anything about this film beforehand, which is a great way to go see a movie. It allows you to go in with a clear mind, which means there is less chance you’ll be disappointed. It worked, I left the cinema thinking “Damn I didn’t expect that”. It was a black comedy that is pretty smart in the way it catches you off guard on many occasions. I can honestly say that I yelled “Holly shit!” during the shovel scene (you’ll have to watch it).

This isn’t the greatest movie, but it is a very good movie and definitely worth the ticket price.

    What is the name of the film – is tis the one that you acted in a few years back? Where was the photo taken?

  2. 2 Ki said at 12:12 pm on June 6th, 2009:

    The film is called ” A Film With Me In It”, it’s a British film. I wasn’t actually in it, that’s just the name of the movie, so that isn’t me in the picture.

Hank and Mike

Movie - Hank and Mike

Movie - Hank and Mike

Watched this master piece last night. It tells the story of a couple of Easter Bunnies that lose their jobs due to downsizing. Whose idea was it to fire Easter Bunnies? The same guy who came up with sponsored suicides!

The story follows the two bunnies, Hank and Mike, as they try to get there lives back together. After many failed attempts at ordinary jobs they quickly spiral downwards into a pit of sex, drugs, profanity, and self hatred!

Well worth a watch, if only to see a Easter Bunny snort cocaine of a bare breasted woman and be offered a rim job from a strung out white guy.

In Bruges

In Bruges

In Bruges

My brother, Shen, recently went for a weekend in Bruges, a small city in Belgium. After talking to him about his exploits he reminded me of the Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson film titled In Bruges. Colin and Brendan are hitmen in hiding, with Ralph Fiennes as their gangster boss. The film of course takes place within Bruges.

The movie starts off quiet slow without much of anything happening for the first half. The comedic high light of the first half is when Colin tells a bunch of obese American tourists not to climb to the top of a famous tower because they are to fat to fit. (My brother assures me that the tower staircase gets very steep and narrow and doubts anyone of considerable girth would not be able to make it up.)

After a slow start the movie does pick up with a bunch of action scenes sprinkled with humor. The end result being a reasonably good flick worth a viewing.

    [...] I would highly recommend it to any who gets the chance to catch a movie there. In fact go and see In Bruges there in a couple of weeks [...]

Pineapple Express

Movie - Pineapple Express

Movie - Pineapple Express

Ivy and I went out for some pre-Christmas drinks with Nick and his girl. After a couple we headed back to the flat and watched Pineapple Express the new Seth Rogen movie. We were already a little buzzed from the booze, so in the perfect mindset for this flick.

At first I was weary about how this movie was going to turn out. Similar movies like Superbad were awesome, but when I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall I felt they were losing their appeal. Pineapple Express didn’t disappoint though and had even Ivy laughing the night away. So if you’re after a good comedy then give this one a go.
