Voice of the reaper

An Irish gangster movie with some comedic elements thrown in, something that Guy Ritchie has done for years, only fucken much better.

Nowhere of geniuses

Even if I don’t like The Beatles, I wish this movie of John Lennon’s young adulthood days had dealt more with the music and making it happen with the band than it did with his family ties.

Pissdick

The bottomline here is this: transvestite's house is almost wrecked by a train. Otherwise, had I fastforwarded this garbage, I'd still died of boredom.

Trolls

I don’t know what’s more pathetic - me watching these shites or Nicolas Cage making them. Well, who am I kidding? I’m a sore fucken loser.

Quote of the day

“The length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder.” 

(Alfred Hitchcock – The Guerrilla Film Makers Handbook)

Always on the brink of a downward spiral

Very clever little thriller and what is amazing is that this is John Verdon’s fictional debut. Take your average pick and you wouldn’t get such cerebral and tension-building crime novel. In fact, a whole lot in the vein of Jeffery Deaver’s works.

The greatest thing since bullets

To me, the king of all cop shows. The coolest of them TV police detectives and smartarse wiseguys. Just brilliant. Dying to get the season 2.

Fríghtened souls

Not torture porn, which I despise, but a nice little sadistic feel in this supposedly low-budget French thriller.

There is no smoke in the dream sequence

As they say, funny little movie. Not as spectacular as I remembered, but goodhearted homegrown film about film making. Trivia that says a lot: “The only scene in the movie that is not a dream sequence is the filming of the dream sequence in the film that the characters are making.”

Boston usually works

Wonderful cast, absolute fucken topmost players, but I probably laughed only once and smirked twice or so. Tried to be little offbeat at times, but even if it’s somewhat enjoyable it’s only average funny.

We all have murder in us

British film that stinks of realism. A story of a young lad in the midst of all the IRA thing in the late Eighties. Had me nailed to the fucking seat.

This side or the other

Town is a powerful movie, extremely well shot and acted. Not really five stars, it was kind of in an idle motion midway through the film, but thumbs up anyways. One of the best depictions of Boston in movies that I have seen.

Hors-la-loi

A rather captivating movie of Algerians fighting for independence, tho’ with over two hours on the clock it was a bit of a bore in the long run.

Update

The past few days, I've mostly been listening to

Cold war just down the road apiece

Every once in a while a silly action movie is all you need, but there should be a law against this kind of utter stupidity. Angelina Jolie’s performance as a lethal super-cool double agent is revolting and the story is ridden with laughable plotholes.

Novelty act

An award-winning fucker, this, but - god - wasn’t it much of fucking shite?

Life cast in cement

Dealing with life, death, love, immortality, universe, life choices, butterfly wings, future, marriage, past, kids and all that shite, Mr. Nobody desperately tries to be mind-boggling, one of a kind trooper of a movie, but even if it’s well-executed and entertaining enough, it’s bit of a lame fuck to be honest.

Wisdom on loan

The Finnish wilderness in its almost otherworldly beauty gets the depiction it deserves and the movie itself kind of gets lost in the shadows. Some nitty-gritty musings and harmless comedy - it’s all funny enough, but in the end, Finland’s landscapes prevail.

Vandelay Industries

Finished watching Seinfeld, the complete series, in all its 180 episodes. It’s something like 7th or 8th time I’ve done this. I’ll probably start with the first episode in few days and go through the whole thing again on something like a show per day basis. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Best show on television.

Hungry for human flesh

French zombie action within traditional heads-off zombie parameters. Pretty funny.

How manifold love can be

Mildly put, one of the most heartfelt movies in all of eternity. Dedicated to Finnish men. Period.

Pushing up the ante

Rather captivating film noir and Clive Owen stood out as the croupier/author -character.

Update

The past week, I've mostly been listening to:

Born again electric

I don’t know if this collection of musings was worthy of a book - probably wasn’t - and, as advertised, Hunter S. Thompson calibre it ain’t, but in the end it's cool enough junkfood literature of sort. Härmägeddon is part memoir, part written report from a devout music enthusiast going through Finnish music scene during the course of one year. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I went down fast, it went down well.

Dinkus over there

I expected this to be a whole lot more spicier, racier, ironic, sarcastic and, truth be told, a whole fucken lot funnier.
