  • Everyone's excited for the new era.
Watched Risky Business on Saturday for the first time.  Geez, Tom Cruise looked young!

The Loved Ones

Oh man. 4.5 starts out of 5. It is like Misery and Fear (Mark Wahlberg, crazy stalker movie) had a kid and sent it to the prom. This movie is a horror movie, is a gore movie, but man, is it good. They set you up for a sexually charged teen angsty stalker movie but it gets sooo dark, and it keeps switching directions on you so what you think will happen, doesn't, then it does, but not when you thought it would.

It got a 97% on rotten tomatoes from critics, and unless this type of movie's whole premise will turn you off (and for some, it will. Especially older or more conservative audiences), you will not be able to look away or dismiss it once you're done, but it won't haunt you, it's more like a scary rollercoaster, than a movie like Hostel that creeps you out every time you see someone's Achilles outlined. And it doesn't rely on torture or gore like Saw does to shock audiences, as Hannibal would say, "That....is incidental."

Wow this movie is whacked, man. Just wow. Frontal lobotomies, dark humor, crazy deranged villian...so worth it.

Prometheus - the effects were good. but i was expecting a lot more punch from the storyline - got a little bit boring somewhere in the middle. I hope they do a part II for this movie. Where the lead character invades the Engineers' planet.

Con Air

It really was awesome. I dont know if it's because of the absurd plotline, that literally everything blows up for no reason or Nicholas Cage's accent.

Scene to watch: Toward the end of the movie, Nick Cage gets shot in the arm and doesnt even flinch. I laughed for about 5 min and kept replaying it. Try not to crack a smile during that scene.

"The Grey"
2011, Director: Joe Carnahan
 
At the insistence of many I finally caught this thriller on Netflix two nights ago.  For those of the campy Liam Neeson action fan club, this is positively a must see.  Much like his outrages cult hit "Taken" in 2008, Neeson is a force of nature when he goes full-boar over-the-top, and this film relishes in it.  But unlike "Taken," "The Grey" really stays within itself, and features just enough adventurous storytelling devices to keep you in your seat for the whole film.  Best if taken with a grain of salt.  :)

"Drive"
2011, Director: Nicolas Winding Refn

I've had a bad taste in my mouth ever since I watched this rudderless ship crash into an iceberg for 2 hours - two hours I will never get back.  I don't even know what the director was going for - the piercing 80's outfits and soundtrack; the hypnotically repetitive montage-storytelling; the long scenes of actors staring at each other in expressionless silence; the shocking-and-awe splatter gore - all this without any semblance of pacing, plot structure or rhythm.

But even a broken watch is right twice a day, and to that end the film does feature a very exciting first 15 minutes.  My sincere recommendation to anyone who is contemplating watching would be to turn it off after the initial car chase scene, secure in the knowledge that nothing remotely that cool ever happens again. Don't say I didn't warn you.  >:(

Ya, its a pretty solid flick.  I still claim that I hate it so that I get brownie points with the GF for sitting through it, but its pretty decent.

Finding nemo 3d. Pixar is the best thing to happen to America since the cardio glide. Not a huge fan of 3d but animated movies in 3d are definitely working. Even though it is pretty much a mega scheme to rerelease these flicks at 13$ a ticket! (I mean really?!) it is still enjoyable and fun to revisit. The pictures and images were absolutely incredible
