He had cancer right?  Maybe he wanted to go out on his own terms.  Regardless, so shitty.  Loved Domino, is that strange?

Watched God Bless America. It's really heavy with its disgust towards what is seen on American TV and the people who watch it, but it does interesting things by breaking down expectations at certain key points. It's dark humor. It may remind you of Super, but then reference that fact.

I give it four shotgunned babies out of five.

The Good, the Bad and the Weird.

Best Western not set in the American west that I've ever seen. Kim Ji-Woon is now 4/4 with me after A Tale of Two Sisters, A Bittersweet Life, TGTB&TW, and I Saw the Devil. Which means I'm pretty excited for the new Arnold film, even if Arnold looks old as fuck.

I thought Ghost Rider 2 was OK. It had enough Crank-level crazy shining through but it was obvious the movie written before the Crank team got a hold of it.

The new Ghost Rider was pretty fucking cool.

Saw it on a plane, thought it was pretty good. Idris Elba was neat, but underused. Nice that he can up the cheese enough to hang with Nic Cage.

Thirst

This is the only vampire film I've ever seen that I think truly captures all that becoming a vampire would entail, both good and bad. The first act is amazing. It slows down for a bit in the middle, but goes completely insane in the second half. It also has the kind of ending that you don't forget.
I was really excited for this and I loved certain parts of it but I can't help remembering how this movie was the perfect example of things that annoy me about Korean films.  I think an American remake a la Tale of Two Sisters would be awesome.  Hated the original (but loved the premise) and loved the remake.

Oh God, it's actually WORSE than that:

When Kruger and Bobker set it up at Universal, they planned to modernize the concept, infusing it with the possibilities of nano-technology and blow it up into a large-scale sci-fi action thriller.

it's not surprising since three weekends ago, with what should've been for many a once in a lifetime oppurtunity, maybe fifteen or so people attended a 70mm screening of Baraka on a Friday night at the AFI Silver.

if i remember reading correctly, they only produced a few 35mm prints and the majority of the screenings are reserved for theaters equipped with 4k Projectors and there aren't many out there which cater to the type of crowd Samsara and Baraka attracts. luckily my local Landmark Theater is equipped with a Sony 4k Projector in the main auditorium \m/

Watched The Dictator last night. After initially being turned off by the first 30 minutes or so it sort of grew on me and I ended up liking it. Certainly not a classic or anything close to one but I enjoyed it for what it was and laughed at some of the bits.

Same here, although I saw The Raid several months ago [in theater! :o ]. Dredd is like a bigger budget version of it.

And, yes, I do know that Dredd 3D finished filming before the The Raid even started.

The Innkeepers

Eeeeeeeh.... House of The Devil was so much better. Slow pacing in a horror movie can be great if it actually feels like it's building something. This felt like a collection of joke scares for at least 2/3 of the movie. Eventually it crawls its way to a pretty dull, obvious climax. Not too good. Not too good at all.

Lockout

Guy Pearce gives this one his all, but the story is too bare-bones and derivative, the action too sparse, the characters too uninteresting, the thrills too not thrilling, and so on. Of note, there's a chase scene near the beginning that has some of the worst CG I've seen in a theatrical movie since the late 90's. Guy Pearce really is the best thing about this movie, as it seems like he's the only member of the cast who realizes he's in a bad movie and is actually having some fun with it, which is odd considering how seriously everything is.

Tbh I was expecting a pretty mediocre action flick. Bros its fucking awesome, it's directed by the guy who did that okay'ish hand egg sports film.

It's basically on par with Taken, which was a totally sweet mdkfest.

The fight on the underground is really well done.

Watch Cabin in the Woods last night. Good post modern take on the horror genre. The first half is a bit weak but the second half is a lot stronger. Can't really comment on it too much without giving away spoilers but it felt like a better take on a Stephen King style story.

It works really well that way, though. The first half is cliche and dumb, but that gives the second half that much more punch when everything flies off the rails.
