This movie is definitely unique. The dialogue is original as well as the plot. The director touches upon touchy subjects like religion. Whenever Jules kills someone, he recites a passage from The Bible because he says he feels like it would be scary for someone to hear right before they're shot to death. Also, there was an unnecessary scene of a rape, which is very uncomfortable and strange. As well as uncomfortable and weird content, there is a lot of dark humor in this novel which sort of evens out the uncomfortableness of the film.
One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Jules and Vincent are at the diner and Honey Bunny accompanied by her lover Pumpkin start robbing everyone of their wallets. Vincent goes to the bathroom and Jules is taking care of the young couple when Vincent comes out. Jules yells at him to stay out of it. When Pumpkin is sitting down with Jules, Pumpkin has the look of defeat on his face. He didn't get everyone's wallet and had to give one of the wallets back. I like this scene because Jules was being so serious, but there was that small hint of humor that made even more enjoyable.
I like action packed films and this one is no exception. The original dialogue combined with the dark humor makes the film remarkable and it's one I would watch again without a doubt. This movie is also brilliant due to the fact that everything and everyone makes sense and it all meets in the middle at the end of the film.

Memento
I absolutely LOVE this film. This movie is so unique and each cut to a different timeline is brilliant. At first, it's hard to keep up with the movie but as the movie progresses it's much easier to understand what's going on. I love how both story lines meet in the middle at the end of the movie. Each scene is so suspenseful because the audience doesn't know what's going to happen next in each timeline and every cut to the different time reveals something even more shocking or disturbing.
At the reveal of how Teddy dies, Leonard burns the pictures of everything and starts over again so he never really stops looking for the Teddy that killed his wife. Leo also created a story about this couple who was dealing with similar things. The husband had a brain condition where he forgets everything that happened a few minutes before and the wife doesn't believe it. Every scene reveals something more to Leo's story about his wife and his search for the killer, even though the killer is inside of him. He's created a story for himself to believe to cover the fact that he's the one who killed his wife unknowingly.
At the end of the film, something that I really thought about is if Leo burned the pictures at the end and his search for Teddy never really ends, how many times could he have done it before? You assume that his search is going to keep going from that point on, but how many Teddy's could he have killed before the Teddy he killed in the movie? It's a little scary to think about, but I believe this theory is possible.

Sharknado
Sci-fi movies always have an unreal theory, but this one is very out of there. Water spouts are known for picking up fish and other things, but huge great white is something else. Apart from the horrible effects and terrible acting, there isn't really a plot. All this movie is unreal looking sharks, the motive to kill as many sharks as possible, and keep all the people they can alive. Even though this movie is so horrible, there are aspects of it that make it a good film.
One simple reason being that this movie was funny as heck to watch. With all of the bad effects, horrible acting, and dumb dialogue combined, the movie was so funny. This low budget film was amazingly funny, it's no wonder it made so much money. Who doesn't love a comedy? It's even funnier that it was made to be horrible. From all of the bad acting to the so fake it's funny looking sharks and gore this movie was downright hilarious. It's so easy to give a bad review on this, but I highly doubt a review could be made without mentioning how horribly funny this movie is.
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I would definitely watch this movie if I was feeling crappy. This movie could make me laugh so easily with the ridiculous story line that was made to be terrible. I can't help but love this film.

The Fault in Our Stars
Like No Country For Old Men, this movie was adapted from the book. However, this movie really stays true to the book and doesn't leave much out. It was a touching story about a boy and girl who fall in love, which is very classic. However, there is so much truth to this story. It's not really that cliche story about the unpopular girl who falls in love with the most popular boy in school and he doesn't see her or start to like her until the end. Or it's not that other cliche plot where the boy and girl fall for each other, but get in a really big fight and call it quits until the guy decides to do something big to make her forgive him, continue with the relationship, and live happy ever after. This story is beautifully different from all of the others.
Hazel Grace has been fighting cancer for so long and doesn't really have much hope that she's going to live. This is very grim, but when she meets Gus she has a much more positive outlook. Gus battled cancer too and lost his leg in the process. Hazel thought his fight was over, as did the audience. Gus kept his ongoing battle a secret from Hazel to protect her from the inevitable fate that was coming their way. It was an emotional plot twist because the audience probably thought that Hazel was going to die and Gus would be the one giving the speech at a funeral or that they were both going to beat cancer for the cliche message that love can beat the odds.
In the beginning of the movie, Gus mentions in a support group meeting that his fear is Oblivion, which means that once he dies his name will be forgotten. At the end of this movie, this is referenced again, but instead of Hazel saying she's sorry that he won't be remembered forever, she gets angry and asks him why he's unhappy for only being remember by her or his family and friends. This movie gives so many messages, all of them with truth while still being an incredible story.
