Fight Club (1999)

"Check in for that flight doesn't begin for another two hours, sir."

Well, well, well. Here is one of the finest movies I finally dared to rent a few nights ago. It started off at a scene where The Narrator ( played by Edward Norton) (in his undies) is strapped to a chair with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) shoving a gun in his mouth. Then it goes master piece from there. The main character The Narrator (he never reveals his name although he has the alias Lupert and Cornelius at one point) who has insomnia which can't kill him but doesn't let him sleep, starts finding comfort in meeting people who are in pain and crying with them. But from one point forward a girl called Marla Singer attends a Testicular Cancer survivors meeting which drives The Narrator out of his comfort since he can't cry anymore. So they plan to split the days of the week between meetings since both of them want to attend the meetings but without each other. The Narrator's life goes on but then on a flight he meets Tyler Durden. A devil-may-care soap maker who The Narrator has to turn to when his condo (which by the way was filled with the only thing that made him complete, a stash of IKEA furniture he never used) is caught on fire. After a night of beer and life talk Tyler asks The Narrator to hit him as hard as he can. Then Tyler hit The Narrator back and this started a spiral tap towards an underground club called The Fight Club, where aggression-filled men come to relief their anger by beating each other to bloody pulps. No further spoilers as you must watch this movie in its entirety and live the perfection that it was. And a huge twist at the end really makes it into a true work of art.
I really recommend this movie but with no minors around as it has constant f-bombs and acts of sex and violence.
I give it 10 soaps out of 10!

Guardians of The Galaxy (2014)

Rocket is my favorite!

"Fun? Serious? A bit of both."

Guardians of The Galaxy is a 2014 American sci-fi fil based on Marvel Comics' Guardians of The Galaxy comic books. The Guardians starts grim with Peter Quill (Chris Pratt)'s mother (Laura Haddock) dying on a hospital bed and later Peter gets abducted by aliens. Years later he's seen double-crossing his new family The Ravagers who's phrase is "Steal everything". Their leader Yondu Udonta (played by Michael Rooker) who had cared and watched out for Peter ever since they took him to their ship is upset about Peter's actions, vows to murder him in front of the ship's crew, so he sets a bounty of 40,000 units on Peter. Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) see the bounty for Peter alive and they attack him in public. Meanwhile what Peter steals is an orb containing a Infinity Gem which has the power to destroy entire civilizations. Thanos (voiced by Josh Brolin) has made a deal with Ronan (Lee Pace) who wants the planet of Nova destroyed due to his father and grandfather being killed. In return of the planet destroyed Thanos wants the Infiniti Gem. Ronan sends one of Thanos' daughters Gamora (Zoe Saldana) to retrieve the orb from Star-Lord (Peter Quill). While in reality she is betraying her father and selling the orb to The Collector (Benicio Del Toro) for 4 billion units. As Ronan and Thanos' other daughter Nebula is hell-bent on getting revenge on Gamora. But while fighting they're all captured and put into a prison by Corpsman Dey (John C. Reilly) where they meet Drax The Destroyer (Dave Bautista).They come to form the unlikely team of Guardians of The Galaxy. They go on a hilarious adventure to save the galaxy even though they're known as outlaws. This movie has a lot of 70's and 80's references and also a few rude words. Although the movie was a mix of comedy, sci-fi, romance, action and adventure it was a mix that paid off. If you're going to thecinemas this week and still haven't seen it I recommend giving it a try.
