Spy Kids 3: Game Over (2003)
Positive vibe spin on the Matrix with scenes from Star Wars.
This movie made me laugh so hard. Naysayers should take note that this is primarily a children's movie. The plot is explained so often that seven year olds can explain it to their siblings, but the story is a brilliant collage of other films, operas and video games. The device that allows the guy to bring his grandfather into the game and get up from his wheelchair warms the most cynical heart. The hippie Stallone, one of three voices in his own head, voices Rodriguez' feelings about children's entertainment which lead to the Spy Kids trilogy. He points out that when you have the children's attention, it comes with serious responsibility. Spy Kids is quality entertainment that can be shared with children.
Le nèg' (2002)
solid movie told through several unique perspectives.
I saw this movie at the Toronto International Film Festival. One violent night in rural Quebec is recalled by four different people, each recounting a different version of the details. Each story is told in a different film style. I laughed, I cried, I was totally surprised. Good show.
