Mickey Rourke. Even when he's speaking in a fairly terrible russian accent. 

The whole movie was let down by the child's eyes at the end. Having said that, it was a great movie, I would recommend to anyone lol ;D 

Watched
Insomnia (2004) (or was it 2002)
yesterday. Was not as good as I hoped, but still good. Somehow it felt on the one hand incomplete/undeveloped while on the other there was a lot of unncessary stuff. The detective (Al Pacino) character did not convince me. The insomnia itself was well presented but felt almost completely superfluous to me since the character was screwed up in the first place. Robin Williams was ace. 

although Chris Nolan's weakest movie. The original NOrwegian film is also better (especially the ending). 

even know it was a remake 

Three days of the condor

Redford was a terrible choice for that character and the character itself was terribly introduced. I hated him for the sheer stupidity and idiocy with the girl. It got better after they had sex. Ultimately felt like one of those movies where you had to analyse the book in school and then watched the movie with the teacher and said ah, this is that scene and oh, interesting how the director did this. I really did not get into it nor did I like it in the end. 

 

found something off about 3 Days of the Condor, its decent enough but the pacing is not great. But I'm a big Faye Dunaway fan and whilst this isnt her best role, she's still good in this.

will definitely watch those after work! 

Holy shit, what a crazy god damn ride. Insanely cool vision, 80s style Grindhouse, super brutal over the top gore, pretty consistent pace. Although it starts off as just a violent action flick, it delves into really surreal territory with the introduction of The Plague (wtf?). The lighting is generally very harsh but provides that 80s comic book feel, almost like something you might see in Heavy Metal. Also kind of a throw back to movies like The Toxic Avenger, in that it's a city overrun with corruption that gets saved by an unlikely hero.

The violence is definitely not for the weak of stomach, it's very brutal and gory, and the movie does not shy away from absolutely despicable things like setting a school bus full of children on fire.

You probably know it's an instant cult classic already, but it's very easy to see why. Absolutely insane movie. 

Good lads movie, to watch with several beers :) 

Yeah I really enjoyed hobo with a shotgun too. It was just what I expected and didn't let me down, unlike, for example, Machete. Rutger Hauer does a good job of grounding the movie by playing it straight while the rest of the movie goes crazy. 

Thor is ultra crap. Cheap CGI that makes 50s puppets look realistic in comparison. No character development to sṕeak of even though the whole movie is supposed to be about it. Clich� story. Whole movie had no more substance than a 15 second trailer. Avoid! 

Might be fun for fanboys or people who know the comic(s?) or people like ricky. 

I don't know what this is, I don't know what language is being spoken, I don't know what country it's from, but I want to see it

The Troll Hunter
Very cool, well done in a Troll Witch Project style, comedy funny in places, made all the better by how completely straight and dead pan it's played, especially the main character. Okay there's some plot holes and the trolls could have been scarier, but does exactly what it says on the tin. Oh, I did find the constant rain a bit depressing though, too much like the UK lol. 

Who were they running from? 

 

Hanna
I expected a completely different story and was pleasantly surprised. Stylish exciting action thriller drama (minor) psycho movie with awesome music from the chemical brothers. Will watch again! 

Tony Scott in good movie shocker. Does exactly what I didnt expect it to do, not too long, not too dumb and quite exciting and suspenseful. 

only thing I want to see at the movies at the moment. 

I enjoyed it but it had a really crap super McCrappy ending. IMVSO 

pretty well made till the last 2 min which are really dumb. They had a sensible ending already which would have still been emotionally satisfactory but adding on the last 2 min just undid a lot of good work IMHO.

Still, nicely made and acted for the most part. 

I like Drive, it's great fun. Mark Dacascos makes a good Jackie Chan, and it's got the whole Rush Hour buddy thing going on but I don't find it nearly as annoying somehow.

Good solid action film on a Tiny budget :)
