Beyond The Law

it's part of a 20 movie pack of Spaghetti Westerns I bought on the cheap to get an idea of the genre.  This starred Lee Van Cleef as a thief who goes straight, so straight that he becomes a sheriff.  It's ok.  Not very violent or anything, with a strong redemptive factor.  Good cinematography, odd score (half jazzy half bombastic pomp).

That's quite a way to promote your new film.  "I know I told you at one time or another to go out and see my other movies, but admittedly, they were all insulting tripe.   But this new one, WALL STREET 2: Mo' Money Mo' Problems, I'm workin' real hard on it and it's gonna be good!  I promise!"

The Wall

Since I love Pink Floyd and am particularly fond of The Wall album, I decided to check this out.

What the flying fuck am I watching? This movie is really strange, I've seen stranger but I didn't expect this movie to be like that. I understood the albums story and all, but the movie really shows it in a weird way or at least to me it does. The acting was OK but other than a few spoken lines it might as well have been a silent movie with Pink Floyd music. The animation scenes were good but overdone and over animated, they could have made the animated movements a little better.

I really don't know how to feel after watching it, I guess I liked it, but not very much. Its not really bad but it isn't really a masterpiece either. Even if I some what enjoyed it I don't recommend it

And now I wonder if the Tommy movie is any good.

I'll help: you feel resentment towards vaginas and an uneasy attraction to awful singing and fascism.

Tommy is much better.

The Informant!

For everything that this movie does right, it's Matt Damon that really makes this work and holds everything together. He carefully balances naive likability with slimy repulsiveness [particularly late in the movie] so well. Ultimately, it's a fairly forgettable film, no one's really going to remember much about it in a few years time, but it's fun watch and nothing that's really going to overwhelm you with drama or anything overly serious. I'd still recommend it though, probably it would be most enjoyed by the same sort of people that liked movies such as Burn After Reading or In the Loop.

That's been on my list for awhile so I'll try and grab it. I was wondering if it would be funny and forgettable, or if it would turn weird and dark. Doesn't sound like the latter happens.

It does get a bit dark towards the end, but it never feels like that darkness overwhelms the humorous side of the story except for maybe one particular scene.

The Blind Side

It's an okay movie. It's just that...I'm kinda sick of the whole "black people don't know how to have a family" trope. To make matters worse this movie infuses that trope with the magical nergo cliche', featuring a whole assortment of white guilt-esque storytelling. Still enjoyable though due to the solid screen writing and acting. Sandra Bullock has never been hotter.

More like black people don't know how to wear condoms and have appropriately sized families.

Depends on the girth.  Total volume, usually in cubic centimeters or cubic millimeters for Asians and some whites, is the only way to accurately measure penile size.

Good movie but I felt that Naomi Watts' character was a little underdeveloped and there really wasn't much action for a gangsta flick although that bathroom fight was just about the most intense fight scene ever.

I think so.  It was directed by Drew Barrymore and starring Ellen Page.  Had pretty favorable reviews on RT but I think the consensus was it was a girly movie and not really for guys.

I'll give it props, it's rare for a horror film to make me squirm but the surgeon in this is genuinely disturbing. It helps that the film has somewhat of a dark sense of humor about the whole thing since

spoiler (click to show/hide)
the human centipede itself pretty much takes up half of movie. I found the ending pretty twisted and chilling,
[close]

and, despite the subject matter, the film is thankfully pretty reserve in its grotesqueness. Probably the only decent horror film I've seen so far this year (I'd also include Sauna but that came out a while back). Check it out if you think you can stomach it.

I don't know why, but I also find these movies enjoyable.  I liked the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies too.  That and Bill Nighy is always fucking awesome.  The plot was stupid and ridiculous but it really seemed like it knew it.  It was pretty enjoyable.  I won't even lie.

Southland Tales

Epic experience.  Totally a mess and not a good film by any means but very ambitious and I'll take an ambitious bad film any day over a non-ambitious good film.  It was like Lynch meets Brazil and written by a 13 year old with Richard Kelley's talented scene direction.  On anything it was actually trying to say politically the film fails completey.  But as a post-apocalyptic sci-fi piece, it's at least as interesting and entertaining, random and ridiculous as your average rpg or anime.

Was definitely worth watching.  I think Kelley has built up a nice portfolio at this point with 3 films that have nice direction, style and are pretty varied.  I'll definitely look out for anything he does in the future.

and omg Jon Lovitz cameo.

Eh, I found it intriguing and it felt like an epic apocalyptic story across a fleshed out worldview sort of like The Stand or The Road, the difference being that the story is lolz in this case.

The script reminded me of that webcomic where a 3 year old writes it and a 30 year old illustrates it and it starts out with a sheriff on the moon chasing ninja brothers or something.  It's ultra terrible but at the same time it's entertaining and keeps you glued to your seat wanting to know what's going to happen to the moon ninjas and what crazy stuff will happen next.

Highlander 2

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

What the fuck is this shit!? WHAT.THE.FUCK. Who decided it was a great idea to basically ruin EVERYTHING that is good about the first? Did they even watch Highlander? Jesus fucking christ!
I know I'm already too late, but: Watch the director's cut, never watch the theatrical release.

If you'd like to know what's different, to start with there is no mention anywhere of the planet Zeist. There are still problems, but it's a much better movie.
