After having an operation last Wednesday, I spent the next few days bed ridden, living on morphine and codeine. So I did what anyone in my condition would do;
Wachowski-thon.
Bound
It’s a great, tight little indy thriller, which was the norm back then post Reservoir Dogs, with some fantastic, very innovative camera work and a unique visual style. Almost black & white, but with a heavy focus on reds. Not to mention all the great moments of tension wrung out to their fullest. Also lesbians.
4/5
The Matrix
12 years on, this film has lost nothing. Nothing. Even though it’s been plagiarised and parodied to death, and what was cool back then has since become campy now, it still just holds up. Perfect film.
5/5
The Matrix Sequels
People lump them in together because they’re considered ****. I tend to lump them in together because they’re both incomplete films without each other and for me it’s one big ass 4 hour movie that I love. The action in this is pure fan service, martial arts, mechs, Hong Kong gunfights, swordfights, car chases, swordfights during car chases, etc. The story got far away from them, but after multiple viewings, I quite enjoy it follow it without problem. Ask me anything.
4/5
Speed Racer
Really fun flick, everything Scott Pilgrim and the Transformers films should’ve been but weren’t. Matthew Fox could’ve made for a good Batman, or a good leading man in general, but has really done anything outside of Lost in a long while.
3/5
Of course I’m basing this on my previous experience with the films and in no way was I coherent enough to think during all that at all. Here is in reality what was going on during Wachowski-thon 2011;

WHAT THE FU

but what wasn't as strong was still enjoyable to me. I loved the Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike fight man.
