Finally saw Avengers Assemble and contrary to everyone else in the world I thought it was mindless and terrible. The only decent bit was that one with the hulk when he flung thimgemy about like a rag-doll.

i think it's more a description of his character rather than the item of costume.

I guess I should have added the qualifier "all things considered" as the lead actor sucked but there's not alot to work with in this shit movie.

Adam's Appels. 9/10
Had to rewatch it after hearing "how deep is your love" all over on the radio lately.
So awesome... gotta give it to the scandinavians, I like their humour.

Another awesome scandinavian, although not funny at all film is Deliver Us From Evil. 8/10
Talking about this one -> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1272012/ , not the irish production from 2006.
Little town in nowhere sweden suffers (industrial) recession. The tycoon's wife is found dead near a lonely road. Hit and run, probably. The citizens, most of them former employees of the tycoon seek a responsible for the murder and they don't have a trial in mind. Soon, they make out one of the immigrants to be their victim. Only the just-turned-home attourney can help him. The ending is a bit over the top. But overall it's a good study of "small town in trouble" mine field, imo.

World's Greatest Dad - 8/10
I had actually never heard of it until I was browsing the Netflix streaming selection (wait, don't stop reading yet, it's actually good compared to most of the garbage they offer)

Robin Williams plays a school teacher/struggling writer who's douchebag son accidentally chokes himself to death while jerking it. In order to try to save his son some dignity, Robin zips up his son's pants and stages his son's body to make it look like an intentional suicide. He then ghostwrites his son's suicide note, the note gets national attention, and things begin to spiral out of control as Robin Williams finds his work actually getting national attention and published for a change, though in the name of his dead douchebag son.

It's a pretty dark comedy and it's not like hit you over the head obvious humor for the most part. So though it's a comedy, some people may find it funnier than others. I really liked it, I'm just giving it an 8 because even at just 98 minutes it seemed to get a little stretched thin in the middle. Probably a better premise for a short, but it's definitely worth watching.

Watched a few not so good ones:

Safe House 4/10
Mediocre & predictable spy flick with a plot that tries to be clever but really isn't. Made worse by having too many car chases and shocky cam fight scenes. I'm giving it a 4 but i have the nagging sensation i'm being overly generous.

John Carter 2/10
Star Wars muppets done by Disney or someshit. Had to turn it off halfway because it was too terrible. Avoid.

Chronicles 6/10
Three teenagers discover a meteor and become all superpowery so they decide to use their new gifts to annoy people until one of them becomes crazy with power. Surprised me by being not as bad as i expected. Quite liked how it was filmed to be honest - but the acting was lacking here and there.

Watched this yesterday, and thought it was quite good, exactly because they didn't know how to use their powers "for good", or didn't want to.
Basically "Heroes" condensed into a 1,5 hour flick.

John Carter - 6/10

I watched it expecting childish Disney shit, but it turned out to be an entertaining Avatar clone with good effects and decent acting.

The Score - 8/10

De Niro plays a mild-mannered professional safecracker who moonlights as a jazz club owner in Montreal. Edward Norton does an awesome DTS impression too.

Flash Point - 7/10

Donnie Yen shoot-em-up with some crazy fight choreography. Worth watching if you like Hong Kong cop/gangster movies.

Thor - 1/10

This film's only redeeming quality is that it eventually ends.

Iron Sky = 7/10 - A completely entertaining and genuinely funny movie. It's retarded slapstick with bad acting and dumber than Miss South Carolina but you'll be glad you watched it. Terrific production design and the VFX, while not top notch, are pretty fuckin good. Bonus points for the piss-take on Sarah Palin.

This is exactly what a summer blockbuster is supposed to be.

P.S. Watch it blazed. :up:

District 9

the mech part drags a bit tho, pity.

Your review intrigued me so I watched it and agree about the length, it would have been just as good 30 minutes shorter.

That aside I thoroughly enjoyed it and the end tied it up really nicely. Robin Williams is a superb actor. Anyone who's not seen One Hour Photo should do so.

My brother made me see it with him. I hate him now.

Come to think of it, he also made me watch Prince of Persia too. Carter and PoP seem like the exact same movie and I can't seem to sort them out in my mind, I'll remember a particular scene and not know which movie it came from.

Avengers - 7/10

It's awesome in some ways, but then incredibly lame in others. I face-palmed at a bunch of the horrible horrible one-liners. Loki isn't so much an evil villain as a dopey emo who's upset that he's adopted and always overshadowed by older brother. I think they tried too hard to squeeze an emotional response out of the old German guy who stood up against Loki's dictatorship speech only to have him saved by Captain America. What's up with Iron Man at the end? One too many slices of bacon for breakfast?

Good balance of screen time for most of the heroes. I'm glad there wasn't anyone stealing the show as I thought Iron Man might. Hawkeye on the other hand, shot a dozen arrows throughout the movie, then he ran out.

Rare Exports 5/10

Finnish movie about Santa, who is not a friendly old bearded fellow but rather a sort of evil demon who hungrily eats and attacks naughty children. And men. And reindeer. So the local villagers try to capture it and train it and sell it.

Good idea for a film, execution sadly not so good - it never really gets exciting or funny and we never actually see demon santa, only his psychotic elves. Also, overuse of slowmotion and closeups of the finnish brat with an annoying squeeky voice make this more of a kids movie than the dark humor horror i was expecting, which is a shame.

The shorts they made before they decided to create the film are much better and include more funny, you can find em on the youtubes if you search for Rare Exports. There are two and they're worth a watch for a laff, but yeah, skip the movie.

Safe House = 1/10 - Another predictible POS spy movie with two one-dimensional actors playing themselves yet again. lol?

Contraband = 4/10 - Meh. Really good performances from a top-notch cast but overall a sorta pointless story.

Dark Shadows = 1/10 - This is the last Tim Burton movie I'll ever watch. Dreadful.
Fuck u Tim Burton... Fuck u Helena Bonham Carter... Fuck u Johnny Depp... Fuck u goth emo fagg0ts... Fuck u the colour black... and Fuck u Alice Cooper...

War of the Arrows - 9/10
Korean foreign film (English subs) on Netflix.
Quote:
When Manchurians abduct Ja-in on her wedding day, her brother Nam-Yi, still reeling from the tragedy that claimed their father's life, sets out to find her. Alive with new purpose, the skilled archer takes aim at the invading army in spectacular battle.

Beautifully filmed, this movie is intense and brutal. There is a scene where Nam-Yi is practicing his archery by firelight and seemingly misses his target over and over. You don't realize how badass he is until the morning where he pulls his quivers out from his real target. You won't find this kind of film from Hollywood who are intent on punching out movies with over-the-top special effects and thin plots. Nam-Yi puts Hawkeye to shame.

Too many Matrix-like, physics-defying stunts in a movie that would have otherwise been fantastic with its beautiful cinematography alone. The plot was good, but the special effects were over-the-top and quite jarring.

6/10

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - 8/10 - immaculately presented, acted and written. i only marked it down because 1973 was such an aesthetically unappealing year unless you like the colour brown and small, cramped cars

You are so British to like that movie. I mean I liked it, but it had that PBS British drama quality which somehow makes the most interesting stories dragging and boring.

to be honest, most british movies (that i even bother to see) leave me cold. i like escapism, the more ludicrous and implausible the better (i.e. Bourne), but this was a nice change of pace

oh, and please don't compare it to british TV dramas. british TV drama is shit of the highest order
