13 assasins (2010)

monkeyrating: 8/10 

genre: drama action adventure history

waddabout: A group of men of honor come together to assassinate an evil shogun.

isay: this movie will make you want to go beserk with a katana all over the yard!!!! insanely awesome!!! 

monkeyrespect to: Takashi Miike - This director has acommplished a task almost impossible - REMADE an incredible classic in a way that's not just TRUE to its epicness, story and soul, but also remarkably a more well shot film! An entertainer with its sense and sensibilities intact!
The action choreographer and the cinematographer have done a brilliant job! They've made the camera literally sway with the action. I'm pretty keen on action scenes and yet i found it almost impossible to find any wedge between the flawlessly choreographed scenes - WHICH ALSO POINTS ANOTHER ACT OF BRILLIANCE - SEAMLESS EDITING!
The sound is brilliant too - explosive and cutting. but the music doesn't stay in you head. it just leaves you wishing it would.

monkeyrating: 9/10

genre: Drama Biography (and in the future- History)

waddabout: the almost true story of how the greatest change of the decade - FACEBOOK, came about.

i say: if you are in this decade, have an account on facebook or are just looking for an unconventional success story filled with attitude - this is the film for you! must watch for every buzzing youngster for sure!

# according to me, this movie deserved the Oscar for best film and best director.

monkeyrespect to: David Fincher without a doubt - flawless direction! he keeps the pace ticking in a movie about computer geeks! that's like making a game of chess look like a MMA match! sheer brilliance!

Aaron Sorkin - absolute greatness in dialogue and screenplay! his words are like punches in a professional boxing match - jab - jab - jab - punch! every word hits and stings, all the way to a knockout!
a true master of dialogue driven screenplay!

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won their truly deserved Oscar for Original Score. their music keeps flowing seamlessly building the mood of everyscene and adding anticipation about the next in every sequence!

#must mention here that Justin Timberlake's rendition of Sean parker, as short as may be, leaves a lasting impression! what a character!!!! you hate him(the character), but cant stop admiring him!!!!
for me, the most memorable words from the movie are delivered by him: "i'm ceo, bitch!" and "a million dollars aint cool. you know what's cool? a billion dollars!" - profound and spunky!

trivia note: the movie is based on a book - 'The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal' (2009) by Ben Mezrich.
