Movie Mondays

1. La Haine, Dir: Mathieu Kassovitz
You and i both are probably a bit tired of growing up in the hood movies. Still to this day, when anyone puts on a movie for a bunch of people, its always boyz n da hood, menace 2 society, kids, etc, to prove that they are real or some shit. All great movies, but we get it, so if you must go that route, stray a bit from the beaten path and screen la haine. This is one of my favorite movie. Not only is it real as fuck, its also a creative and beautiful look at morality and the overall strangeness of life.


2. Sonatine, Dir: Takeshi Kitano
This is a very interesting take on the classic gangster film. Takeshi Kitano gives one of his classic deadpan performances which drives this very original interpretation of an age old genre. This movie also contains a few scenes that are so sure to bring a smile to your face, that if they do not, i fear seriously for your well being.

3. A Zed and Two Noughts, Dir: Peter Greenaway
One of the most visually moving films ever made. Every shot in this film is jaw dropping in its own strange way. If you plan on watching the film dont view the full video i posted, but it will give you an idea of how amazing it is.
