Swept Away (2002)
One of the worst movies EVER
I was shocked when I saw this movie. It's unbelievably horrible! It's right on up there with "Sweet November" as one of the worst movies ever made. It's weird too because I like Guy Ritchie's movies. What on earth happened? As a happily married couple, they work together for the first time and then release crap?
Everyone knows Madonna isn't the greatest actor, but she's been somewhat convincing in her other rolls, like "Who's That Girl?" and "Desperately Seeking Susan", however silly they may seem. In this one, her acting was atrocious. How did she suddenly become a WORSE actor than she already was???
This movie MIGHT have been okay with better acting, but it's a pretty doubtful. HORRIBLE!
Sweet November (2001)
"mom, a 30-something man I hardly know is going with me to school on father-son day!"
The most hilarious part is when the kid asks Keanu to adopt him and to come to father-son day at his school. Keanu declines the adoption but promises to show up at the school for the kid. The kid then happily trots away and says "wait till my mom hears!". HAHAHA, yes: "mom, a 30-something man I hardly know is going with me to school on father-son day!" The kid is obviously an easy victim for pedophiles. hahah...
Anyway, this is one of my top five worst movies of all time. She had WAY too many drugs in that cabinet. No matter what kind of illness you'd never have 50+ prescription bottles! Also, the santa scene - he carried a DISHWASHER in a BAG up multiple floors.
Absolutely ridiculous...
Microcosmos: Le peuple de l'herbe (1996)
very unique!
Anyone that gives this movie a bad review is retarded for renting it in the first place. What were you expecting? Acted out scenes? Dialogue? Morgan Freeman voice-over? It's a beautifully-made film showing bugs and a few minutes from their orderly lives. It's uniquely filmed in a way unseen in film/TV before its release. Dismissing it as "boring" or not educational enough is... I can't even express the close-minded idiocy of that kind of attitude. It is what it is. A beautiful, and musical, DISPLAY of insects going about their boring lives, but it's a boredom we never truly witness, and therefore it's very interesting. The quality of the film-making and the time put into the film-making deserves respect.
I ultimately HATE pretty much all bugs, but this is an EXCELLENT film and I was intrigued from start to finish, and that's counting multiple viewings.

Incredibly sad and disturbing, but powerfully effective
A film has never made me cry more than this one. All the credits of the movie are in the beginning, so that at the end, it's actually "the end" and you leave the theatre. Based on the plot, I found this to be incredibly effective. Not only is it about the coldness of Hollywood and how easily people are thrown away, it's largely just about cancer in general. There have been a ton of films about people suffering from cancer, but I would have to say that this movie projected cancer in the most emotional way ever. The combination of film style and music is incredibly effective and enhances the sadness of the main character's illness.
