"Shallow Grave"

After three roommates finally choose a new roommate they think they can live with, they find him dead on the floor with a suitcase full of cash. While trying to remove the body and extricate themselves from the situation, they wade hip-deep into a world of drugs, greed and madness. A delightfully circuitous, nailbiting, and unpretentious noir, with the murder as a MacGuffin--director Boyle, who gained more acclaim across the Atlantic with follow-up "Trainspotting," is more interested in the gradual psychological disintegration of the roommates.

A great under-exposed film.
Great soundtrack too.

"Shallow Grave"Great movie, and there's not a moment of peace in it. graemlins/scared.gif If you like drama/twisted movies I say go for it. Brilliantly shows how "regular" folk can head into a full throttle nose dive.

Hope you enjoy whatever you decide to watch.

Happy Friday

Ashaki,

have you signed up for netflix yet? if not, and you like watching movies in the comfort of you home, i highly suggest you sign up for it. just about every movie you can think of, they have it. that is, if it's on dvd.

http://www.netflix.com

check it out for yourself because i think they have a free trial program. again, this is highly recommended if you actually like to stay home and watch movies, if not, then don't bother.

oh, and i recommend you check out "Finding Forrester", but "blood in blood out" is a great recommendation as well.

One more:

"I Can't Sleep"

This French drama uses two plots that occasionally come together. The stories are set within the multi-ethnic neighborhoods of Paris. In the first, Daiga, a spunky Lithuanian actress drives into to town to collect on the promise of a director she slept with. He lied to her and now she, who speaks no French, must accept help from friends and relatives who set her up in a small hotel. She gets a job as a chambermaid. The second examines the lives of a large expatriate Caribbean family. Theo a musician, takes small carpentry jobs for wealthy Parisians to support his young daughter. He really wants to go home to Martinique, but his daughter's mother doesn't want to. Theo's brother Camille has real problems. He is the wild one. Dressed in his fishnet stockings and garish make-up, Camille sings at the local gay club. He sleeps with his lover (also his doctor) in the same hotel as Daiga. Camille seems nice enough until it is discovered that he is not only a drug addict and HIV positive, he also strangles old women to death while a partner robs their homes. Camille seems oddly distant from his actions which he calmly describes.
