Inland Empire

A weird introduction and 2 and a half hours of disturbing, disgusting bullshit. The only reason this movie isn't called "The Aristocrats" is because nobody says "The Aristocrats" in the end.

mild spoilers follow

If you go see this movie, after about 45 minutes or an hour you'll think: "I hope this part of the movie ends soon and they get back to the story."
Joke's on you. They never do. It does go on like that. And on. And on. For another two hours that feel like four. There's one good moment when the chinagirl talks about the hooker with the pet monkey and a hole in her vagina while Laura Dern vomits blood on the walk of fame, but that definitely isn't worth watching the shit that comes before and after. If you sit through this movie expecting some kind of punchline or something, you will be disappointed.

The punchline is: David Lynch thinks you're retarded enough to sit through this bullshit and feel enlightened.

Fracture 8/10
the acting at times was transparent but the good story/plot made up for it.

Children of Men - 8/10

Very intense, very good. Love the little details, like the flying pig above the Battersea power station and the Banksy art.

Talladega Nights, 8.5

very funny, definately not one to be judged by it' cover. the comedy for being centered on the redneck stereotype was fresh and didn't resort to the tired redneck cliche' s

Children of men - Watchable, but an unsatisfying conclusion. Can't fault it on any other level. Many comparisons with Half Life 2 could be made.

Smokin' Aces - 7/10 Good twist, good gunplay, some interesting characters. I have to love a movie wherein Ben Affleck dies. :olo:

the night listener - 1/10
absolutely nothing happens in this movie. it builds up little pockets of suspense here and there but don't let that fool you. the twist towards the end almost works because you'd never expect anyone to commit anything that fucking mundane to celluloid - then falls flat because they used such blatant misdirection to do it.

butterfly effect 2 - 1/10
some charmless wanker tries to improve his life using the same mechanics as the first movie, until he comes to the realisation that he just needs to be a better person to achieve happiness.

that's the third time i've watched dvds picked by an australian backpacker and the third time they've all been rubbish - bloody cultureless, inbred, radioactive cannibals the lot of them.

Children of Men was kind of boring. Once they set the backstory it was all get from point A to point B. Bad people chasing us, the end.

Deja Vu - 6/10

Despite having nothing to do with the deja vu phenomenon except for the name, it's a good enough thriller mixed with a few sci-fi elements.

The story itself is nothing special, basically your standard hunt for a murderer/terrorist (plus the obligatory love interest), but what brings it up a notch above a smack in the middle 5/10 is the Bruckheimer/Scott trademark visuals and score which, when in the right mood, makes the whole movie experience feel as safe and comfortable as visiting a good old friend.

Ok, what have I seen recently...

Talladega Nights, ?.?

Not really sure! Kinda only saw half of it and that half was spent... Erm... I'll have to watch this again.


Employee of the Month, 8.0

Good laugh, enjoyed it! However I have to say it should be renamed "Stare at Jessica Simpsons tits for 2 hours", because thats all you do. Every. Damn. Scene. Jesus would it kill her to cover up?


Bubba Hotep, 7.0

Fucking funny film! I never saw it before but got it on DVD a few weeks back, awesome. You should see this at least once.

Hot Fuzz, 9.0

Sorry I cant give it the full 10, it never matched Shaun Of The Dead for me, and was a bit random, but great flick!
