Equilibrium



Equilibrium is a film which delves into the dangers of conformatism. It is set in 2026. A man known only as The Father has created an apparent utopia that has no anger, rage,murder or war for everyone who follows him. He has created an antidote for human emotion and anyone who does not conform with his way of thinking and refuse to take the antidote are incinerated alive. Christian Bale plays Preston, the ultimate fighting machine who works for The Father and has no problem destroying anyone who feels or anything that may stimulate human emotion(e.g music and puppies). But when his partner is incinerated for having emotions, he at first, subconscienely stops taking the antidote and once he regains his emotions he knows he must never take the antidote again. He now knows he must stop The Father, but there is many people in his way, including his new partner. Bascilly, its the Matrix,except with more guns

Batman Begins




Batman Begins is, in my opinion, the best batman movie ever made. Directed by Chris Nolan, the man who brought us great films such as Momento and Insomnia. Not only does this film have a kick ass storyline and brilliant director, it also has a top notch cast- from great cinema legends like Micheal Caine, Gary Oldman,Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman to fresh faced actors/actresses like Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy and the brilliant Christian Bale. Christian Bale does a great job of playing both the rich playboy, Bruce Wayan and the serious crime fighter, Batman. The story takes us back to the start of the origans of Batman, its the story of a troubled young boy who witnesses his parent's death and feels he needs to prevent this from happening to anyone else. This is a magnificant film and truly a triumph in Chris Nolan's career, cant wait for the sequel.
Nudy rating- sorry, Katie Holmes doesnt get her kit off in this one, try The Gift

The Shining


The Shining is a powerfull film which delves into the minds of a completely isolated family- a mother, a father and a son. Jack Nicholson does a great job(as usual) playing Jack, an author who takes the position of a caretaker of a hotel that closes at winter and is isolated throughout christmass. He takes the position of the caretaker because he wants some peace and quiet to write his next book. He also brings along his family. As the film progress's the past of the hotel is slowly revealed-what happened to the last caretaker and his family. The title of the film comes from the power the son, Danny, has called the shining, which is a form of telepathy. Eventually, Jack gets very paranoid and starts hallucanating, but its not really hallucanations at all and he is instead talking with spirits who once stayed or worked at the hotel. The past occupants of the hotel convince Jack to try and murder his family and thats when the fun really starts. The Shining is one motherfuckin' freaky film. An interesting trivia you might not of known- The Shining was based on a Stephen King novel and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The interesting fact is that King was not happy with Kubrick's adaption because he changed the ending, King was so irratated that he also made a film of The Shining a few years later which completely bombed.
Nudy raying- do not watch this film for nudity, there is nudity, but its the kind of nudity that will turn your stomach
***** five star
Nudy rating- do not watch this film for nudity, there is one scene with female nudity that will turn your stomach.
A Clockwork Orange


A Clockwork Orange is a disturbing tale of a group of hooligans who like to indulge in ultra-violence and rape("the old in, out"). This film is one of Stanley Kubrick's many superb movies. It's the furthest you can get from a family movie and it can provide quiet uncomfortable viewing at times. Malcolm McDowall was brilliantly cast as the lead character and narrator of the film. Malcolm McDowall's character is used as a guiney pig in a new experimental procedure that supposedly completely rehabilitates a convict, but of course there are side effects and consequences for the "humble narrator".
**** four star
Nudy rating- there is quiet an amount of female nudity in the film, but unforetunetly the majority of nude scenes are rape scenes aswell, so unless your into that kind of shit your not going to like it. Although, there is a scene where malcolm McDowall's character is tested to see if he can refuse a hot topless woman after the experimental treatment, that proves to be quiet arousing.
