Only a hobo

Damn, Tony Scott (Domino, True Romance, Man on Fire, Enemy of the State, et al.) can shoot some high-octane action. Even if the story here is nothin' but of the seriously simple and straight-forward kind, and it's laughably predictable, the action is so energized that I didn't care one way or the other.

Judge, jury and executioner

The successor to Dirty Harry (1971), the latter which I previously watched some time last year. Almost as definitive and dead-on cool crime movie as the first of the DH series, but not quite. Detective Callahan, of course, is a hard-ass motherfucker.

Well done, twat

A good-spirited, good-humoured film that deals a whole lot with the 60s music which, I might add, ain’t really my area of expertise, but definitely some cool cuts here and there. I wish the movie was heaps better tho.

A nimbus of gold-color'd light

A bold attempt, I’ll give them that, but unfortunately fucken unfunny, this.

Mr. Michael Moore hunts down banks, bankers, fat cat financial bullies, the Wall Street People.

Not exactly Alton Towers, is it?

I saw just a of couple episodes of the TV series because it was shown in such odd hours - hence I bought the book and it’s a funny little fucker. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s sidekick Karl Pilkington travels through the 7 Wonders of the World and this book is the report of the journey. However, it ain’t really about the Wonders, it’s more about the people he meets, the food he eats and the toilets he sees, ultimately however, it’s all really about Karl himself and his quite colorful train of thoughts. I’ll buy the DVD of the series whenever I get the chance and I’ll prob’ly read the book again in a near future too, it was a very funny thing.

What wonderful power for such a small creature

Now we just wait the Hollywood remake starring Sandra Bullocks and Christian Bale (or whoever) where this little gem of a movie is being ruined by wishy-washy sentimentality and rivers of fucking tears. It wasn’t entirely faultless, this, but drama when it’s done right is one hell of an enjoyment.

Lamb with black ears

An American remake of small cult film 13 Tzameti (Géla Babluani), done from slightly different angle, outcome ten times worse.

Life behind bars


Disco baby, sexy baby, hot

Live life abundantly

For some reason, it was said that this movie blew some fucking minds out there, that it’s a small sensation. Well, fuck it, it did me shit.

All good things come to those who wait

Much better than I remembered, nothing’s amiss basically, action is intense and electrified, and there’s plenty of it.

Flames go higher

Honest to god, one of the best music DVD’s I’ve seen. One of my favourite bands, Eagles of Death Metal at the Death by Sexy album sessions and a few promo clips. Extremely catchy, groovy and well-played full-on hard rock and not, as people wrongly believe, a fun project.

All my friends are dead

Norwegian slasher horror. Executed like a motherfucker.

Right, Koko

A very low-budget comedy starring my favorite Seinfeld -regular Patrick Warburton. Not much else to say than that the writing is surprisingly bold and foul-mouthed in this otherwise boring fun.

Dead forever

Started out great with two wonderful actors, Robert De Niro and Edward Norton in a fucken joyride, doin' the absolute perfection, feeding each other with acting frenzy. But the movie took a dosedive pretty early on and the performances within.

Slumber of sullen eyes

Just goes to show how surprisingly lame the TV series based on this comic book is. It ain't bad, mind you, but compared to this fucker it's miles behind. The show is a fucking scorcher actually, so do the math.

Order no. 600

If he ever had one, Steven Soderberg has lost the concept of film making. You rarely see major motion picture with a such complete mess of a story. It annoyed me a thousand times when the script zigzagged and changed pace.

Too much monkey business

Without the werewolf -parts this would have looked quite nice actually.

Platoon buster

Wasn’t this something of a cracker. Bloody and gory and whatnot, but some nice humour there too.

Its rider was named Death

David Fincher called, he wants his Se7en back.

Out with the trash

The subject here is interesting enough in Giuliani’s taking control of New York City by shattering organized crime and clearing the streets in tumultuous times of the city in 1994 - 2001. Unfortunately, the movie doesn’t really cut it. James Woods is his cool usual self, but history and politics and partners in crime are told in unorderly and chaotic fashion.

B-17


DVD box mostly with good-humoured Disney-safe episodes, there were handful of gems tucked in, stories such as Mummy Daddy, The Mission and The Amazing Falsworth - and some were downright lame to be honest. This series is more of a curiosity thing with than anything else.

Agent gone rogue


A mindless action movie; the close-calls are aplenty, bullets swing by and the heroes walk through the chaos with bottomless ease. It’s kinda fun while it lasts, if you can take it the right way, it’s awfully bad still.

Update

Lately, been listening to:




All this and more

A stand-up comedian struggles to co-parent his autistic son. A simple story, seen many times before, but solid and entertaining little flick...
