MISSION STATEMENT/ REVIEW UNMADE BEDS

the purpose of this awesome blog is to cut through and destroy the usual pretentious acadamic nonsense you usually see in movie reviews. i don't need to read quotes from howard zinn or whomever. i don't need to be impressed that you went to film school and know obscure technical terms. i just want to know if the bloody film is worth seeing or am i going to want to scratch my eyes out afterwards like when i saw the latest piece of crap from sophia coppola. kabish?  and movie critics don't get it. people don't see movies in the theaters anymore. everyone has netflix, dvd rental places are dead.  so it is up to me to review films you can see on netflix streaming. why me? i am a movie geek that knows a lot more about movies than you ever will. it is my passion and you better listen to me.                                                    
UNMADE BEDS: so what do you feel when you see young hipsters in their precious tight pants and early bob dylan hair? do you want to punch them in the face? tell them to grow up? if so,this flick is not for you. watch an adam sandler movie instead. me, i loved this film. it is the second effort from a  dude from argentina named Alexis Dos Santos. his first film was an awesome low budget coming of age movie called GLUE. GLUE was all about a teen punk riding his bike around his neighborhood, he talks to girls, he pretends to be in a band .that is the entire movie. nothing happens and that is the point. For his second movie he has a bigger budget,real actors and a plot. god bless him. UNMADE BEDS is all about young pretty vacant hipsters looking for something. one is looking for his dad. another one is looking for the perfect boyfriend. you get the idea. it's all set in three locations in swinging london,a warehouse where they hook up,a bookstore where one works and the club that they all meet at. there are lots of scenes of drunken undressing and yes god damn it-shots of unmade beds, numbered and listed no less. why did i like it so much? it made my pine for my youth when i did not have a care in the world and i often woke up in strange places next to people i could not remember the names of.  the cinematography is brilliant, lots of close ups without being herky jerky. the music by the tindersticks, good shoes and black moustache is indie/electro cool. the kids in the movie wear neat clothes. sure not a lot of happens but you won't be checking your watch. Dos santos is a young director that really has the potential to make great films.
