movie i'd love to watch! ...alone, maybe.

because i don't know many people who would enjoy watching movies about psychopaths in love or dystopian movies that don't involve strong female characters and young adult love.

(i really don't.)



first off, we have Mr. Right

ah yes, a title like that with a thumbnail of Sam Rockwell pointing revolvers at someone for the trailer video, what's not to love already? the first thing you need to know about me and movies is that i have a strong love/hate relationship with Sam Rockwell. he's played countless baddies throughout his acting career: the most notorious being Eric Knox from Charlie's Angels, as he was toying with Dylan's heart (which was as much mine) and threatening to murder our beloved Charlie once and for all; whereas the rest are him being quite lovable psychopaths (much like the one you see in this trailer). now, the only reason why i have such a strong love/hate relationship with this particular actor is because he is such an incredible actor that he would make you forget himself as a person for a good hour and a half, and just watch you from within the story, as your emotions and morale crumble at his feet.

seriously, this guy was the biggest douchebag of all time.
among other reasons, i also seem to be very fond of weird lovers. it's somewhere a little beyond quirky yet not too far till you reach batshit crazy. Only Lovers Left Alive, Juno, Zombieland, you name it. then again, my version of batshit crazy and yours could be infinitely different.



enter trailer #2.

i am highly aware that Anna Kendrick plays the naive (almost stupid) girl in both these movies, and i truly think there's an increasing demand in the market for her to be a little bit less badass and smart since Pitch Perfect and Into the Woods. i have absolutely nothing against that because she always ends up being smart and badass anyways.

here lies Ryan Reynolds. i mean, here sits Ryan Reynolds. most of my friends (i assume) would know that i'm a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds--to the point that i would watch all his crappy American-jokes-filled movies. (still haven't watched Buried, though. maybe i should do that.) Ryan Reynolds is the perfect American joker stock character. he's crude, he's sexy, he gets away with pretty much anything. however, The Voices says otherwise. i mean, he still gets away with anything--spoiler alert, he's a murderer--but he's a lot nerdier and weird in this one. count me in for a mental roller-coaster ride with Ryan Reynolds and his pets + dead girlfriend!



finally, something without humor and Anna Kendrick in it.

but you really need to be on my team for this one: who would miss anything with Tom Hiddleston in it? we all know by now that he's in way too few modern-day kinda movies. when you're signed to the Marvel Universe, you need to do at least 2 of those movies a year. which doesn't leave a lot of time to make other films, considering he's a theatre buff and those of us who are stuck outside of UK or US will never stand a chance to watch this man reciting Shakespeare live.

High RiseHigh Rise is an intellectual movie. sure, it's a book adaptation, but when you visualize a book to that detail, and then put Tom Hiddleston in the middle of all this chaos, you've got yourselves a highly acclaimed film. honestly, i'm looking forward to this one. not just because of Tom Hiddleston (though mainly he's still the reason), but because i'm a tremendous fan of dystopian stories. this reminds me of Snowpiercer already.

if you'd love to watch another Marvel superhero rough it out in a dystopian world, i'd recommend Snowpiercer.
lots of bloodshed though. you have been warned.

yeah, like i said. i'm going to watch most of these on my own. feel free to do the same.
