had a movie marathon on Saturday evening. Started at about 11pm and didn't finish till 8am the next day. Of course, when we started out we had at least 10 people, but by 8am there were only 2 who were awake.
Movies we watched:
1. Office Space - low budget not too bad comedy
2. Phonebooth
3. About Schmidt - starring Jack Nicholson...about a retiree and how he found meaning in life, so to speak. Slow movie, but great acting.
Now....PHONEBOOTH
This is one heck of an awesome movie. For its cinematography, for its dialogue, for its script, for the statements about life and society, for its Christian undertones, for its acting....everything about it is just fantastic. It is a film student's heaven, that's all I can say.
Those of you wondering, it stars Colin Farrell (unfortunate last name, but with a less than unfortunate face) as this PR guy who is also a chronic liar who doesn't give a damn about other people. He picks up a call in a phonebooth and the call's from a sniper who threatens to shoot him if he leaves the phonebooth. So practically THE ENTIRE MOVIE revolved around Colin in a phonebooth talking to the sniper. And amazingly, although there is only one scene, it still leaves you at the edge of your seat. Without revealing too much, all i have to say is that by the end of the movie, Colin redeems himself and the way he does it was P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L.
Really good movie. And honestly, the storyline, the script was more than well-written. Kudos to Phonebooth.
