I think the next one will be this
"Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans" courtesy of Gamelive. I am by no means a Cage fan, but this looks like it could be as warped as Leaving Las Vegas, but a lot funnier.

Movie was awful, dont buy the argument that since it was a shit fest, that is what made it funny or whatever drunk Breads opinion on the movie was.
 
Ok now this movie "The Room" all I can say is I am not ready to review yet. I have to watch it again.

There is something strangely awesome about it yet so lame to the common person, I can see why it has developed a cult following.

 
Croupier (1998) starring Clive Owen

I wanted to watch a gambling movie so I did a Yahoo search and found this oneint he top 10 on a site. I had never heard of it before. Owen stars as a writer with a gambling problem in the past. He gets set up with a job as a blackjack dealer which leads him down different roads. The monologue is pretty good and there is some clever writing.

The ending frustrated me so bad that I cannot recommend it. If the ending of No Country for Old Men did not frustrate you maybe you will be ok with it.

3 stars out of five.
 
I've watched it multiple times man, I agree it is awesome. Tris hated it which I though was hysterical/ "I can't decide which is the worst part - the lack of story, the horrible acting, the awful writing" lmao

I think next is this movie Irreversible. I was surprised to see that it streams on Netflix. I do think Vincent Cassell is awesome so I am delving into more of his stuff.

Irrversible is a 2002 French film written, directed, photographed, and edited by Gaspar No. It stars Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel. Several reviewers[who?] declared it one of the most disturbing and controversial films of 2002. The film employs non-linear narrative. The music is by French electronic musician Thomas Bangalter, who is best known as half of the band Daft Punk.
Irrversible won the "Bronze Horse" award at the Stockholm Film Festival and competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival,[1] as well as the "Best Foreign Language Award" by the Film Critics Circle of Australia. It was also voted "Best Foreign Language Film" by the San Diego Film Critics Society (tied with Les Invasions Barbares).

[edit]Plot

Irrversible contains thirteen scenes presented in reverse chronological order.
The beginning of the film (that is, the chronological end of the story) features two men talking in a small apartment suite. One of them is the "Butcher", the protagonist of No's previous film, I Stand Alone. In a drunken monologue, the Butcher reveals that he was arrested for having sex with his daughter, which happens in I Stand Alone. Their philosophical musings shift to the subject of a commotion in the streets outside, which is derisively attributed to the patrons of a nearby homosexual S&M nightclub called "The Rectum."
Minutes earlier, two men named Marcus (Vincent Cassel) and Pierre (Albert Dupontel), are escorted out of that nightclub by the police. Marcus is on a stretcher, apparently injured, and Pierre is in handcuffs. Men on the streets shout homophobic insults at them. Earlier that evening, Marcus and Pierre arrived at the club in a frantic search for somebody nicknamed le Tenia — "the Tapeworm". Marcus finds the man believed to be le Tenia and attacks him. The man pins Marcus down, then breaks his arm and attempts to rape him. Pierre rescues Marcus by bludgeoning the attacker's face using a fire extinguisher, fatally crushing the man's skull after repeated blows. During the onslaught, the real le Tenia is seen to be amused by the situation.
Before entering the club, it is learned that Marcus and Pierre went in search of le Tenia after questioning several prostitutes. Apparently their goal is retribution for someone's rape. They track down a transsexual prostitute named Concha who identifies the rapist as le Tenia after Marcus threatens to slash her with a piece of broken glass. Concha also reveals that the rapist is likely to be found at a nightclub called The Rectum.
Marcus and Pierre were aided in their search by a street thug named Mourad and his friend. Mourad promised to help them find le Tenia for money so that Marcus could have his revenge, rather than leave the matter to the police. It is revealed that le Tenia anally raped Marcus's girlfriend Alex (Monica Bellucci), and beat her so severely that she fell into a coma.
The rape takes place after Alex encounters le Tenia beating Concha in a pedestrian underpass. Le Tenia then turns his attention on Alex and threatens her with a knife to her throat. He then proceeds to rape Alex, pinning her down on her stomach and threatening her. After raping Alex, le Tenia brutally beats her. From this scene, it becomes clear that Pierre and Marcus attack the wrong man later in the story (earlier in the film). Le Tenia was in fact standing right next to the man Pierre killed in Club Rectum.
In the next scene, we see Alex, Marcus, and Pierre at a party. Alex is annoyed by Marcus' unrestrained use of drugs and alcohol and his flirtatious behavior with other women, and consequently decides to leave the party. The next scene shows the trio discussing sex in a metro station and in the train. It is revealed Pierre used to be Alex's lover.
The penultimate scene shows Marcus and Alex lying in bed after sex. Alex reveals she might be pregnant, and Marcus is pleased with the possibility. To prepare for the party, Marcus leaves to buy wine and Alex has a shower. Alone, Alex uses a home pregnancy test that confirms she is now carrying a child, for which she is elated. She is shown sitting on the bed clothed, with her hand on her belly: a poster for Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, with the tagline "The Ultimate Trip", is above the headboard. The final scene shows Alex reading An Experiment with Time by John William Dunne in a park, surrounded by playing children. Beethoven's 7th Symphony is heard in the background. The camera spins around faster and faster until it blacks out into a strobe effect, accompanied by a pulsing, roaring sound. A rapidly-spinning image of a water spray can be dimly perceived.
The final title card reads: LE TEMPS DETRUIT TOUT ("Time Destroys Everything") — a phrase uttered in the film's first scene by one of the men in the apartment.
