    Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

    ★★★★★

    Probably one of my top favorite films of all time, we venture into the mind of Hunter S. Thompson on his search for the American Dream, first with the Great Red Shark then into the Great White Shark.

    An explosive film about the heavy use of every drug known to man, high on ether and several pages of LSD while listening to White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane in a dirty bathtub filled with shaving cream and grapefruits. So much to…

    The Zero Theorem

    ★★★

    Another great film by Terry Gilliam that explores the mind of those who seem lost and alone. Honestly this film is as crazy as Brazil (1985) and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). The Zero Theorem explores the idea of how much the future can be damaged yet saved by technology.

    Should we live in a subconscious state or continue to live in the real world? So many questions pop into your mind while watching this. As to say are we headed for a future where she live in this non-real yet seemingly real world? Or do we stay in the physical state of living?

Very grim this film vividly conveys the physical, mental, and emotional breakdown of drug addiction. Natja Brunkhorst earns an Oscar for her performance as Christiane F.

    I was honestly very disappointed in this film. After seeing reviews and the trailer i thought "wow an actual scary film". I do have to say that the soundtrack was brilliant. Brought back the 80s horror film scores which was enjoyable yet the plot and acting was a bit shite.

    A very slow film and difficult to understand what the fuck was going on plus the one friend that was eating constantly was unnecessary. I was waiting for her to…
