Battle Royale, the Director's Cut:

I was expecting it to be a bit more fucked up, since it was banned in the States for so long. As it stood, it was damned nuts. I was hoping for more exploding collar deaths, but then again, the exploding thing that's attached to you gimmick was done to death in the Condemned, truth be told.

It had some fucked moments: The intro video of the rules was completely insane. The mastermind's performance was insanely over the top. The scene that was used for the one girl's back story was incredibly dark.

It also had some incredible thematic elements. There was a definite anti-war theme. Who do you trust when everyone is trying to survive? Do you fight or do you give up? Do you play along or do you strike back?

I've heard it referred to as the movie/novel Hunger Games ripped off, and to an extent I guess we can thank Hunger Games for the boxed set finally seeing the U.S. But I seriously recommend it. 8/10.

Avoid the 2nd one.

Dead Snow

A Norwegian film based around the idea of medical students who go on Easter vacation to a cabin in the mountains. An old local warns them of a time when the Nazi's ran away from the locals at the end of WWII, with stolen valuables. The group then find a box of gold in the cabin and you can probably piece the rest of the film together from there.

From my take on it, they didn't know what kind of film they were making. The first 45 minutes actually sets up a decent horror film, albeit without establishing any engaging characters. Then in the second half, it shifts to complete slapstick comedy with the characters acting incredibly nonchalantly about the idea of fighting Nazi zombies.

You feel no sympathy or empathy for the characters so aren't willing any of them through the film, nor does the film have any real message within it at the beginning, middle or end. Reminded me a lot of Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland without the quality writing or comedy timing. Good soundtrack though.

I give it a 4.5/10.

Moth Diaries - Lesbo vampire chick with Twilight-ish theme of female sexuality.. 6/10.

Battle Royale 2 - Slightly better than the Hunger Games.. :p 8/10.. it felt like Call of Duty Japanese style though. Hehe.

US Marshalls - 7/10

9/10. Lauren German (Hostel 2 heroine chick) is having a Milla Jovovich-ish look in this one. :p

This is another seriously fucked up movie.. More psychological horror than just a nuclear armageddon stuff... think of it as what could've been the REAL Hunger Games. Literally. Cos people get stuck in the basement building with few food supplies and they start going insane on each other once the daughter gets kidnapped by bio suit guys that look like Fallout enemies and never heard from again. And I don't care if the ending was stupid, she did what she had to do...

And we get to see a little glimpse of the apocalyptic world in not just the ending but also one scene where one of them tried to go outside and it looked like one huuuuuge endless tunnel mazes covered in radioactive plastic quarantine covers ala Resident Evil style. Also, they never get to explain of how those bald human beings being stored in lab chambers.. But one thing's for sure, the bio suit guys didn't pick them to cure their radiation sickness.. Some sick-ass shit scene even had a guy going nuts and starts dressing in a woman's evening gown and starts making love to another guy telling him to suck his dick after he did the tongue licking and kissing. There's a brief rape scene with the single mom too.

Is that English? (The review, not the film)

English. :p

8/10. Really enjoyed this although the cons I would complain is that the shaky distorted static cam couldn't get a clear shot of one of the "creatures." To me, it looked like a fucking Congo ape yet alien type of breed.. There's even one scene where the girls stumbled onto some military base with a preggie woman giving birth to this creature and it behaved like a giant worm crawler!!! Fuck... Or more likely, I call it well...

Stay through the end credits for another dose of shaky cam style of what the "Creatures" looked like and the so-called military experiement stuff. There's even a little bit of human zombies much like REC or Crazies going ape shit on the cam corder heroes and some even had gas masks on!! WTF?? That was intense in the final act...

For a direct to video found footage movie, it really kicked my ass to the edge of the seat.

I also liked one scene where the guy goes into the dark woods and sees the words embedded on each tree trunk in blood writings: "WHAT IS THAT? DID YOU SEE THAT? LISTEN."

The Hunger Games: 7.5/10. Some of the characterizations/plotting was a bit weak, but it got me interested in the world. I'll read the books and see the sequels.

Wrath of the Titans 6/10.

Party Monster - 6/10

this is the true story of Michael Alig and the Club Kids who hung out at the nightclub Limelight in NY

Macaulay Culkin did a pretty good job as Michael Alig and Wilmer Valderrama was alright as Superstar DJ Keoki

Seth Green was a little annoying as James St. James

Based on the book Disco Bloodbath, by James St. James, the film opens with Michael Alig (Mcaulay Culkin) as a small-town outcast who lived with his mom before moving to New York. Michael learns the New York party scene from James St. James (Green), who teaches him the "rules of fabulousness", which mostly revolve around attracting as much attention to oneself as possible.

Despite James' warning, Alig hosts a party at Limelight, a local club which is owned by Peter Gatien (Dylan McDermott), and soon becomes the hottest club in New York, with Alig at the head. Alig is named "King of the Club Kids" and goes on a cross country journey in search of more club kids. Alig and James pick up Angel Melendez (Wilson Cruz), Gitsie (Chloe Sevigny), and Brooke (Natasha Lyonne). Soon after meeting, Gitsie becomes Alig's new girlfriend. However, after Michael descends further into drug abuse, his life starts to spiral out of control, eventually culminating in his involvement in the murder of Angel. Gitsie and Michael decide to go to rehab and treat it as a "Second Honeymoon", leaving James behind. James then begins to write his "Great American Novel" published as Disco Bloodbath and later as Party Monster.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice 7/10

Admittedly it scored so high because I was expecting it to be utter shit, and it really wasn't. And because it's got Alfred Molina, who is always awesome.

Actually could have been an 8 if the main character wasn't incredibly annoying. He's also a massive bitch, so when he acts all "hard" in the climax, it comes off really bad.

There is some cool stuff in this movie. Fight and chase scenes are pretty cool, and a lot more intense than the harry potter crap.

21 Jump Street

7/10

Wife made me go cause she is "featured" in the opening scene when Jonah Hill is asking the girl to prom.. My wife walks right behind him into camera when she denies him..

It had some funny parts in it.. Most entertaining part of the night was, it was opening night of The Hunting Games or whatever and there was 400 teenie boppers hanging out at the theater dressed in costumes and shit.. One chick was even dressed up like the f'n logo..

Kids these days..

:nono:

Eat LSD and it's amazing..

The Indian In The Cubbord - 3/10

Drive - 6/10. Ryan Gosling was stoned this whole film.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon - 1/10. Good lord.....Rosie Huntington is terrible. I was never fond of Shia Labeouf or Megan Fox, but all the time I was watching her I was wanting Fox back and looking forward to Shia's acting.

We Need To Talk About Kevin - 77

50/50 -8/10

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo(US Version): 9/10

really enjoyed it, found Stellan Skarsgard terrific, and Rooney Mara is wonderful.

Pretty much this.

Hunger Games 8/10

30 Minutes Or Less - 7/10

In Time - 6/10

50/50 - 12/10. Fucking loved every minute of it. I even cried twice. The part when he's being injected with anesthesia is just terribly sad. He's worried about waking up, then his mom hugging him is fucking emotional.

Even though it's no match for the original Wicker Man, it still manages to be watchable. The only thing new to this pagan sun worshipper ritual is instead of using the method where the police guy gets burnt inside the Wicker Man here it's something else:



Go see it. If you can get past the usual musical numbers with a mixture of gospel songs despite even the Wicker Man had its musical moments.. Hehhe. I like it. Also, there's one scene where the scottish media even mocked the Christian girl saying that before she was a gospel singer, they showed her OLD footage of country music video singing songs about beer, sex much like Miley Cyrus does!! Hahahhaa. The song's called, Trailer Trash Love.. LOL.

8/10.

Last movie I saw was Wrath of the Titans in 3D.

I give it a 7/10. I loved the story and the visual effects were just amazing. Only thing I would of wanted was more action and would of loved to see more of the gods in it

American Reunion - 7/10

God Bless America - 8/10 Fan of Bobcat's director/writer work so far, will continue to fallow. Could also see rating going up or down on next viewing of this film, which there will be as I really enjoyed it.

Dirty Dancing - 0/10

Our Idiot Brother - 3/10

The Warriors - 8/10

Can't believe I missed this up until now. Bad acting/dialogue, but great story

Immortals - 3/10

Three Musketeers - 5/10

Solomon Kane - 3 dead bodies

Haha, Haven't seen that one. I'm guessing it's the 3-D one with Milla Jovovich directed by her husband. :p

And, rocky 4 was on TV last night. 8/10. Russian Drago ftw!!!

It wasn't bad... but there is just something about Americans playing European characters but with their American accents.... it sounds dumb.

Which is funny because Brits can play anything else and totally get away with it... French, German, whatever...

The Muppets 10/10.
