Last night I rented to movies that were of the highest caliber. Wet Hot American Summer and Pi. Here is a review of each:
WHAS - This is a film about the last day of a summer camp and takes place in 1981. If you are a fan of The State or UCB then you will love this movie. There are at least 3 members of the state that appear in this film (Michael Ian Black, Doug "outta here", and the guy who dips his balls in things) and Amy Poehler is in it from UCB. Also in the cast are - Janeane Gorafolo, David Hyde Pierce, and Molly Shannon. The plot of this movie is very very odd, and most of the time scenes seem improvised. But it's damn funny. This is kind of a love movie. All of the characters are trying to get their soul mates or just get laid. I'm not really giving a very good review at all of this film, but it's super funny and I'm going to say it was my favorite film from 2001! Highly recommended!
Pi - This film is about a Mathmatician who is looking to find a pattern in Pi and relate how everything in nature is based on math. The director is the same guy who did Requim for a Dream (Darren Aronofsky) and there are very similar shots between the two. The story is can get a bit confusing at times because the character uses a lot of heavy things and I miss bits and pieces but overall at the end knew what was going on. The visuals in this film are outstanding. My favorite aspect of it was how the film looked. It's black and white but there are shots where most of the screen is black but there is a strong light that shows the action. And there is a rough graininess to it. Overall another highly recommended film. I didn't like this as much as Requim, but it's close.
LIGHTSOUT!
