Ash Ketchum

I got thrown off by some of these words ("unfair," "wicked," "rhythm") and I couldn't think of any films to match "soppy" and "kinetic," even though I've used both words in reviews of films. So I decided not to play. Sorry.

The Good German is a great choice; very cool how the 40's style film was done.

True, but this thread isn't about "choices," this is just word association. If I understand the thread starter correctly, you are not supposed to think about your answers, you just blurt out the first movie that comes to mind when you read the word. There are no bad answers

For example, I don't actually think The Blair Witch Project is wicked. In fact I found it very disappointing. But for better or worse that is what popped to mind when I read the word "wicked."
