It's been on my HD for the past 3 months or so. Can't really get to watching it, fear this is gonna be boring like first part of LOTR.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - This was actually better than I was expecting. Not great, but not god awful.

The Hangover 7/10

RoboCop (2014) - fail

Nymphomaniac Vol. 1 - 7/10

The movie was better than what I expected.

Lucy - 3/5

I liked the stoic ScarJo. She should play that more often.

bout to go all angry rant here

The Protector 2 - 0/10

What the fuck has happened to Tony Jaa and Prachya Pinkaew? It's like this was made by completely different people. The Protector is in my opinion, the best martial arts movie ever made. How did they fuck up the sequel this badly?

The biggest difference is that they are now using wires and CG. Jaa's previous movies were awesome specifically because they DIDN'T use wires or CG. The fights looked real, and felt real, because they were real. But now, everything looks ridiculous and terrible. Especially considering that this was not made by hollywood, but by thailand, so the extensive amount of CG that is here, looks about equal to the mortal kombat movies. That's not an exaggeration. It's that bad.

That would be endurable if the rest of the fighting was good, but it's really not. At all. I don't know if it's because he's older or because of lingering injuries, but Jaa just looks slower here. Some people have said it's because the people working with him weren't good enough and fast enough to keep up with him, so Jaa had to slow down just to get the fight choreography to work. I dunno. All I know is that in the first movie, you barely had time to process the badass shit jaa did, before he did something else amazing. In this movie there were literally only two instances throughout the whole film where I went "Wow that was cool." And one of them was from Jeeja Yanin.

Oh yeah, if you don't know Jeeja Yanin is an amazing female martial artist who exploded onto the kung fu movie scene almost as fast as Tony Jaa. A movie with these two in it is like a modern martial arts dream match. Too bad she spends most of her screen time here getting her ass handed to her, and needing help from big strong men to save her. This is unacceptable. Not even from a sexism standpoint (though it does seem a tad sexist) It's unacceptable because she spends all her time in her other movies BEATING THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF ENTIRE WAVES OF BIG SCARY DUDES. The Jaa/Jeeja team up should of been the best thing ever. Instead she just lies on the ground twitching for most of the movie.

What else, what else....oh yeah plot is terrible. It's terrible because they actually tried to make some complex plot. Martial arts movies don't need complex plots. Look at the first film. Bad guys steal dude's elephant. Dude beats the shit out of everybody til he gets elephant back. That's it. Done. Instead they try and make some big conspiracy plot, and it fails horribly because martial arts movie writers can't write for shit. That's why they're martial arts movie writers.

Obligatory chase scene like in all Tony Jaa movies, except this one is boring, makes no sense, and drags on waaaaaaaaaay past it's welcome.

Finally, the RZA's performance should be shown in acting classes around the world as a lesson how NOT to act. "RRRAAAAAAARRR YOU CAN TELL HOW ANGRY I AM CAUSE MY EYES ARE SO WIDE! RAWWWWRR"

end rant




FUCK

Talladega Nights The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, " best movie ever made" says it on the cover enough said.

The Shining meets Under The Skin. Why am I saying that? This is how it goes.



Don't ever be thinking that the title itself is another one of those cheesy ass romantic flicks...

8/10.

The Babadook - It's almost like a live version adaptation of Among The Sleep game and a mixture of Sinister!! But only better.. Even the monster resembled so much of the one in Among The Sleep game. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 100% rating. Not bad for a low budgie Aussie horror flick.. That was totally unexpected.

Reason why I compared it to Among The Sleep is because

Go fucking see it. It's a perfect pre-Halloween scary movie! Well played, Australia!

9/10..

Filth - 7/10

James McAvoy is an amazing actor. The movie left a solid impression on me.

Old Yeller: 7.5/10

It wasn't that sad

The Lincoln Lawyer - 8/10 (Matthew McConaughey is a beast)

Instead of "buying" movies, I am enjoying renting them from my preferred online digital store - The almighty iTunes Store.

I bet the ending really came out of nowhere, huh?

Blended - 6/10

Coonskin - 4/0. Unsurprisingly, very racist. Shisen would love it.

The Double - 8/10

I watched in on Netflix. It was pretty amazing.

The Chef - 8/10

Loved how this was an "R" rated film. Jon Favreau doesn't give a fuck about the PG-13 rating.

https://scontent-a-lax.xx.fbcdn.net/...38840600_o.jpg

Slightly better than the Conjuring. Yes, a prequel alert. This just increased my phobia of dolls with big ass red eyes. It even rivals Chucky's creepiness too..

8/10.

Gone Girl - 8/10

I saw that movie about a girl that was gone last night but I can't remember what it was called. It was pretty ok. Kinda dragged at the end. It's no Daddy Daycare 5.4632/10

Gone Girl - pass

The Drunken Master: 8.46/10

Good

It restored my faith in action movies being more uncensored R-rated violence. Nail guns, impaled on a powerdrill to the skull, you name it. Despite I haven't watched the entire TV series it's based on, I'm still familiar with the intro theme. And it had a bit of Taxi Driver vibe chemistry between Equalizer and a teen prostitute. Sound familiar right? Better yet, it felt like a sequel to Man on Fire.

8/10.

Love this guy.

Is there a movie you haven't enjoyed, RR?

^ Battlefield Earth and Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge. Regret seeing those last night.. Blahh... 1/10.

I also avoid watching Oscar nominated movies currently.. Except for Gravity of course. Meh.

Oh yeah, Battlefield Earth can antogonize even the biggest movie enthusiasts.

No idea what that other thing is.

Tekken 2: Another video game franchise victim to the big screen. It had nothing to do with it at all except for the Mishima family feud between Heihachi and Kazuya. Other characters including females are not even Tekken related...

The General (1926): 9.3/10

Buster Keaton ' s masterpiece makes today's stuntman look like Betty White.
