Short, independant flick reviews! Read about it, before you watch it!

Choke - how to get laid movie

Short flick critic: Victor compensates a difficult relationship with his terminally sick mum by scoring any woman he can - a funny comedy :-)

What is the Choke movie about?

The plot: Victor has a hard time establishing a serious relationship with someone but he’s good in finding fuck buddies all the time. However, things change for him as he meets Paige, his Alzheimer-sick mom’s, attractive doctor. Or so he thinks…

Flickcritique says: This movie is all about getting laid. Everyone, everywhere. Except for the numerous top-less scenes it would be a bit boring, if it wasn’t Sam Rockwel aka Victor doing a good job :-) There is not much to say about this flick, except it’s amusing, so if you have two hours of idle time, give it a shot :-)

Watch it if you liked: I dunno, really… maybe YOU can think of any similar movies? :-)

Zack and Miri Make a Porno - great Kevin Smith movie

Short review: Lifelong loser friends choose making an amateur adult film their only way out of financial issues - hilarious flick, highly recommended!

The plot in a nutshell: Zack and Miri are broke and desperate for funding since their bills have not been paid in months. After some serious thinking over a few beers, they decide to shoot a porn flick assuming at least anyone who went to school with them would be interested in watching it, making their focus group at least 800 people strong ;-) While they cast co-actors and build up a filming crew with a little help of their friends, they also discover something they would never have expected to find out.

Flickcritique says: This movie is insulting, obscene, disgusting and I love it! It’s absolutely awesome! I am not a big fan of Seth Rogen, I thought he sucked a bit in Pineapple Express but director Kevin Smith just knows how to make actors shine. The entire cast makes a great job. I pissed my pants listening to the conversations about finding the right title for the flick :-) In the end they choose Start Whores I believe. It’s also a movie that educates the audience, since I learned a few new terms. My favorite is “Dutch rudder” . It is the second romantic comedy this year that I liked, after What Happens in Vegas. The ending is a bit of a cliché but that’s all right, considering how out of the ordinary the entire movie is.

Flickcritique says: Watch it :-D

Watch it if you liked: Any movie directed by Kevin Smith like Dogma (1999), Clerks (2000), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) - this man is a genius :-)

Edit: I almost forgot to mention the outstanding performance of Justin Long. Kudos to him for his short but extremely impressive part :-D
