Movies for Spring Break
Spring Break is upon us and, if you're like me, you're probably doin' squat. For those of you who may not have plans for your entire break, allow me to help by providing a list of fabulous movies that you can go out and rent from your local video rental place.
1. American Psycho: Christian Bale in his best role - a brilliant book adaptation and superb script - very funny
2. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: My favorite Johnny Depp role and a hilarious script
3. Once Upon a Time in Mexico: Again, Johnny Depp steals the show in this awesome Rodriguez homage to westerns
4. Bruce Campbell vs Army of Darkness: Maddox says it best - http://maddox.xmission.com/aod.html
5. Donnie Darko: Jake Gyllenhaal is prodigious in this movie, definitely one to watch
6. Equilibrium: Christian Bale going around pistol-whipping everyone - need I say more?
7. Natural Born Killers: Hmm, watch at your own risk- I really liked the opening sequence in the cafe
8. Igby Goes Down: Claire Danes is delightful, Kieran Culkin does his best Holden Caulfield, and Jeff Goldblum is golden
9. The Big Lebowski: Jeff Bridges being totally awesome and Steve Buscemi in another great role
10. The Good Girl: Jennifer Aniston does well and Jake Gyllenhaal, of Donnie Darko fame, is fantastic
11. The Believer: Ryan Gosling has a new movie coming out April 2nd that could be really good
12. Wonderland: Val Kilmer as porn legend John Holmes and Josh Lucas being awesome
13. 13 Conversations About One Thing: This landing on 13 is purely coincidental
14. And, of course, Masked and Anonymous: The greatest movie in existence right now, at this moment, as you are reading this
Don't worry, I've seen all of these movies, some of them many times, some of them only once, and some of them only once but would love to watch over and over again for the rest of my life until I die (Masked and Anonymous). I thoroughly enjoyed all of them, some of them more than others, some of them a lot more than others (Masked and Anonymous), but I can't guarantee everyone will like them. So, if you'd like to augment your cinematic lexicon, give these flicks a shot- better these than dogshit deficiencies like Finding Nemo or Signs or Kate and Leopold.
