Argument Blogs

As you know, this blog is done by two people. As you should also know, people have their disagreements. When two people disagree they will have an argument. So when Zack(I) and Oliver have an argument we will post what we call an argument blog where we will both state our opinions and you can decide who is right.

Double in One

Sometimes we will do more than one movie in one review in which case we will give you the rating for the movies separately and then as a whole. (If the rating is high on the whole we will not include it on our top ten). We call this a combined review

The Usual Suspects (1995)


Reviewed by: Zack Short
Rating: 9.8
This movie is one you're going to have to watch more than once. The entire movie is shrouded in a thick fog and when the ending is revealed you have to go back and see just how amazingly the movie was done. I also believe that it is disgraced by not being nominated for best picture.
The Usual Suspects is the best criminal story ever created by an extreme long shot. The incredible creativity of the plot is so well done that Lord of the Rings might even be challenged. The story goes straight forward and is like any other criminal movie until the end when the plot line twists, contorts, and even backtracks to create the most stunning and intricate story made by man. If that's not enough, watch Kevin Spacey make his mark in time as Verbal Kint.
In all honesty, I can find no beef with this movie except that the first run through of the film is a little slow, however, is mostly needed.
This impacting film will make its mark on time forever as one of the best movies to ever be created and far exceeding even my expectations, which were extremely high. If you want a movie with everything you could possibly want or need then this movie will only start there and give you the ride of your life.
