Series 7: The Contenders

Series 7: The Contenders

  • Possibly the funniest and most disturbing movie I've ever seen...

    This is one sick puppy, people. Series 7 deals with the ever rising

    popularity of docu-soaps - when will it end? When will people say

    "enough"? It is hilarious, raw, cruel, incredibly black and totally

    credible. That's kind of the worst part.

    This is the game where you are chosen by your social security

    number, given a gun and the rules. Survive. Anything is allowed.

    Anything goes.

    As I said, the movie is incredibly funny. If you laughed at Pulp

    Fiction, Sam Jackson and Travolta bickering in the car and

    accidentally shooting a poor guys head off, you'll love it. If you liked

    Heathers, where teen suicide is taken to extremes, you'll love it.

    But the point is - and there really is a point to this movie - how far

    will we go in our quest for entertainment?

    I think Series 7 comments in a very valid way on how docu-soaps

    take advantage of people, showing them from their most sordid

    side. Let us never hope any of us becomes a contender...

  • Dark, beautiful and unexpected

    Lovely. Haunting and beautiful, this piece of film does what no hollywood production manages these days. It is unexpected, you never know what will happen, and the paradoxes of the movie are not resolved in sweet little fluffy pink clouds.

    Actions have consequences, which this film proves so well by it's storyline. It is mysterious and it keeps you guessing, and so far I've only seen two other movies that keeps me guessing for so long as Donnie Darko does (Fight Club and Sixth Sense).

    It is a modern gothic, an urban legend and a truly unique piece of art. It is a handiwork and it has as such an almost visible air of all the effort that went into creating it. I loved it.

  • Beautiful, weird, and compelling...

    This is the most romantic and weird film I've ever seen. Delightful and very romantic, this film inspires. I had an overwhelming urge to go home and design something after seeing it. Not to mention dropping letters into mailboxes. Visually, the movie is incredibly beautiful. The storyline is also quite original for a love story. I don't know what else to say except see it, if you get the opportunity.
