sisi. .
pls see 12 monkeys too if you havent.

I just might see it again too. .

@Darthmaul
Thanks. .
I knew the whole plot was to stop some sort of disaster from happening. .In 1996, a virus kills like five billion people. 40 years later, the underground survivors chose Willis to travel back and study it. Time travel is no exact science and he's initially sent back to 1990, where he's certified insane. By the time they got the time travel thing right, he's already met two key figures: a psychiatrist and a fellow patient whose name I remember well. .Jeffery Goines (Pitt). Son of a prominent biochemist. Goines is suspect number one for spreading the disease.

Now this is where it gets really confusing. . . He explores the post-apocalyptic earth where animals roam free. As he enters a departmental store, doves fly over his head and a Christmas decoration angel "looks" down on him. An old newspaper article lets us know that the woes of the book of Revelation have happened. It looked all religious. Iono. . maybe I'm goin over my head again.

Sometimes I hate it when a movie tries too hard to confuse you. The movie's sole purpose was not even to entertain or inform, it was to confuse. Cos many scenes where deliberately shot to confuse us.

Like the scene where animals started walkin the streets freely. . Like the last scene at the airport where a younger Bruce Willis was shot. . and the lady with a blonde wig receives a telephone call. . .

I'm even more confused right now sef. .

obi. .
you have managed to talk about 12 monkeys and I still dont understand anything. .
did u understand the movie?? pls explain it in details like Vesc, Sisi and I did Memento. .

Your reviews. . .

v3
wat season you on?

.

@babe!
I dont really have anything against Claire. . maybe you dont like cos she's too serious about everything.

Phil is the greatest on the show, then Jay. Jay's sarcasms are as funny as hell. .
I love the show to bits. .

@vesc. .
just saw your post. . lol

@darthmaul
pls. .share your tots on 12 monkeys.

@Darthmaul
Nice analysis but I think Natalie knew exactly when his brain was gon' refresh. Remember the other scene at the bar where she told him to spit into a mug of beer, she then told another fat guy to spit in, and she also spat into the mug and gave Lenny to drink. And guess what, the dude drank it. Cos she knew exactly when his brain refreshes.

The movie triumphs at some points and fails woefully at others. Like him driving, his brain refreshes, and he continues driving and knows where to go.

Neways, like Vesc said, if you decide to 'understand' everything in the movie, you might just 'wound' yourself.

@sisi
Thanks for watchin DD. . You jus saved me 2hours cos I'm not gon see it. Lol

@vesc
Lol. This guy, we need to talk jor. Or maybe not. . Cos its gossip

And has anyone seen 12 monkeys?? I have seen that movie 3 times and I still dunno what the heck the movie was all about. I jus know it starrs Bruce Willis.
Anyone with anything on it?

@obinna
wat exactly was dubious? wat did he do?

@vesc
ohh. . .thats so true. Do you know I totally forgot about that? That was why he wrote beneath Teddy's picture 'Dont trust his lies'. . Well, Teddy deserved it sef. . why stick around a guy like that?

And whatever happened to Natalie?

modern family is crazy!!.
phil dunphey is the dullest dad ever. . .and he has an equally dull son.
Gawd, I love this show.

The ending/beginning. . where he shot Teddy? or
The ending/beginning. . where he killed the guy with the car full of money in the trunk?

either way. .i think he decided to let himself continue searching for his wife's killer cos he constantly needs to feed his hunger. He constantly needs to 'look for his wife's killer'. Because even if he eventually finds the killer, he wont have the memory that he has avenged her death. . .well, unless he writes it down.

im getting confused oh. . lol.

watyathink?

OMG!!!

Lol. Spot on! If you decide to pay attention to every little detail. . you will jus kill yourself.

But i think Sammy Jenkins is Lenny. The ever reminder on his hand saying 'Remember Sammy Jenkins' is hard to push away.
Yea, Jenkins might be older than Lenny but I think its a gimmick. .to throw us away totally.

Sammy Jenkins didnt learn not to pick up the electrified object. He kept making the same mistake every single time. That made him explain that his problem wasnt mental, it was psychological. That was why he kept giving his wife insulin till she died. He didnt learn.

But then again. . .Remember when Natalie came into the room, riled him up and made him beat her till she had blood on her mouth? Lenny knew he was supposed to write that piece of info down. He knew he had to write down that Natalie was a bad person. My question is, why was he in a hurry? And how come Natalie knew when his brain would refresh and we didnt? Cos she stepped out of the house, came back a coupla minutes later and told him Dodd beat her up. .

oya ooooo

YES. .I saw Memento

It would be an overkill to say what the movie was all about and how beautiful it was cos you've all said it all. So i'll just go straight to my bad sides of the movie. .

Just like Lenny, I made notes while I was watching so i wont forget important details.

The movie was everythin i expected, but all the theories and facts that made up the movie's very foundation stands solely on the amswer to this nagging question in my head.

If Lenny really couldn't store new memory, then how did he know he had to write things down to remember them later? How come he knew he had to remember things so he could use 'em later?. Cos the last thing he remembered was his wife getting killed. Then the memory of 'taking pictures of people and making notes about them' was a new memory. . .which means he LEARNT.!! Which makes the very premise on which the movie stands, doubtful. Or am i going overboard?

Why didn't he wake up one day, see all the pictures he has taken and wonder what they were all about? since his brain was supposed to 'refresh' everytime to the day his wife was killed.

And hey. . was his brain refreshed daily? every 2 hours? they never told us cos he was driving one time and suddenly, his brain refreshed. So no time frame for the refresh?

Ive seen plenty movies on memory loss and i'll say this, people suffering from memory loss do not know they suffer from memory loss. Becasue the memory of the memory loss is a new memory!!! A new memory that came after his wife's death. Meaning he shouldnt have known he was going to forget things, which means he shouldnt be taking pictures and writing notes.

Have you guys seen 50 First Dates? Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler. This girl suffers from daily memory loss. Her brain refreshes every morning. So everytime she wakes up, she freaks out cos her sorroundings look new to her every single time! So every single morning, Adam Sandler, her husband, plays her a video of her life. . .of how they got married. So she learns everymorning that she is married. Only to sleep and wake up again and have the whole cycle repeated.

But in Memento, Lenny just continues life everytime his brain refreshes as if nothing happened. Except they tell us he wrote a note to himself to write notes to himself. .

If that single question can be answered, then the movie is flawless. . I love it 100%.

And Sammy Jenkins was just someone he created to shield himself from the fact that he killed his wife. .

Very nice movie. .

Vesc, Sisi. . . .

Is this the right thread for this? Well i guess. .Two and a Half Men producers sacked Charlie Sheen. . yesterday i think and cancelled the rest of the show for the season.
If the show returns, I hear Jon Stamos from Glee might replace him. 

Charlie Sheen is retarded. .  Ruining a good show like that. .

Sisi, Vesc, . . I'll be back here soon with my review. .

I suggest 127 Hours

@lalaboi. . errh. I think semid is right. .
we were on some 'oscar movies' stuff. .

@obinna
reviewing a naija movie would be hard to sell to the folks on here. .
make ur proposal first. . .lets see how it goes.

@lalaboi
shoot.! pls choose a movie.
since no one else is saying anythin. .

who's choosin a movie?

lmao!!! he really cleared that up didnt he?. .lol

sisi
you just brought up issues I didnt consider or remembered before now.
I remembered that last scene with the close up on his face and i remember i tot back then that those killings were fake.
But going by what I said earlier. . there was nothing else, apart from the close up shot to his face, that suggested those killings were imaginations. .
The lawyer tossed his claims aside. .and i was thinking 'why'?
so my guess is the movie was made to confuse us. . 

Yeee!! I must see Memento asap.

Sisi
The spoiler alert warning isn't necessary in this case. Like I told vesc sometime ago, some movies are immune to spoilers. The more spoilers you see, the higher your interest grows. Lol.
Inception and Memento are mos def examples.
I'll add my comments on Memento after I see it.

About American Psycho. I saw this movie a really long time ago. But I remember a lot of it. The dude lives alone, hunts down people and kills them.
The killings, unlike you guys are suggesting, were real. if they were just imaginations, we woulda seen pointers to that fact. Cos that idea is too important for the movie makers to have left out. Except they were bent on confusing us from the start.

im loving this thread. .
momento is on download queue. .

Are we done with this movie? Anymore reviews?
