Clerks was made on a shoestring budget, with Kevin's friends for actors and all in black and white film. However, the man is a freakin' genius when it comes to volatile, intelligent content and colorful metaphors. Nary a special effect to be found, buy this movie if you're sick of big boats sinking and asteroids pummeling the earth and crave some brilliant writing for once. It is one of the funniest movies ever made, but probably one of the most vulgar, too, so watch it if you're easily offended. Breavheart has it all.
Good horror is hard to find.
Even with good horror movies, I find myself rating them with lower standards than I do other genres of films. Can't say, but I just do. Mimic takes an intelligent look into mankinds' meddling with nature. Big-ass scary bugs infest our underground railways. They evolve rapidly and develop the perfect camouflage to snare it's prey - us.
