Mush and tasteless

Boldly advertised as a “thriller of the year”. That’s what I though of getting, a thriller of some sort at least. However, Catfish is a documentary of stolen or borrowed identities and it’s vividly discussed  whether it’s a fake or not. And I really don’t care.

The truth bends

Has an interesting start, but after that the story just trudges along, goes nowhere and ends disappointingly.

Robin Hood of Collinwood

My kind of a movie. Mafia wars a-blazing, hitmans and snitches, characters tough as nails. And it has a mob movie cast written in the stars to boot.

At war with God

Charles Darwin struggles with his book, the church and his life. Paul Bettany as the killer of God.

Satan och kapitalet

Hans Erik Dyvik Husby aka Hank von Helvete (ex-Turbonegro) does quite a magnificently splendid performance as Dutch-born Swedish troubadour and cult figure Cornelis Vreeswijk, unfortunately the movie does not follow his level of commitment.

God is out to lunch

Willem Dafoe as a nazi and Jeff Goldblum as a sad clown. That's the story in a nutshell. That, and it's a boring piece.

To be really dead must be glorious

In 1931. Ust-Abakanskoye becomes Abakan. Robert Duvall and James Earl Jones are born. Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion in Chicago, Illinois. And Tod Browning completes Dracula, Bela Lugosi as Count Vladimir Dracula.

Frumpy sounds onomatopoetically right

I am a fan of this witty, educative and articulate series. It oftentimes flies above my understanding with its U.S. domestic policy jargon, but gladly it's usually style over matter. However, it ain't endlessly top-notch, when The West Wing is kind of in an idle mode it can be deadly boring. But having said that, when it's on fire, it takes your breath away.

Jar of gypsy tears

"Are you telling me the man who tried to put a rubber fist in my anus was a homosexual?" Top that Seth Rogen, Tod Phillips and Adam Sandler.

Come what may

Don't know if it's bad acting or what, but the chemistry between the main stars here is nonexistent, it however doesn't entirely vaporize the appeal of this adult fairytale.

Unholy grasp of Satan

Lotsa cockshite superstition, bodysnatching rascals and walking stiffs. Sounds like in between funny and scary, but it wasn't.

Crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes

Somewhat decent film noir, but even tho' it's a Stanley Kubrick piece, it's nothing out of ordinary.

Funeral drugs

Broodingly depressive, as espected, but, as espected, real fucken good.

Extraterrestrials in the trees

Despite super-monsters, high calibre machine guns, attack helicopters and fighter jets that could easily kill thousands, and fuck else, this was boring shit.

No man cannot walk out on his own story

I've never been particularly interested in animated features, but if they are as entertaining, energized, funny, cleverly written, masterfully voice-acted and music-scored as Rango here, they should come around more often.

Eagles suck

Irritatingly boring sports & comedy movie that lacks in action and humour. Each and every scene is painfully prolonged. I wept in frustration.

Got it late in the evening

An above average British thriller, in between the likes of Hitcher and Duel, less in atmosphere, close in tension, more in gore.

Terribly busy kinging

Good one, yes, but not such an overpowering force and magical piece that they all say there everywhere.

His spirit departed

I thought of putting this on as a background entertainment and start reading the latest Uncut -magazine with Tom Waits on the cover. Turning the front page of the magazine was what I found time or interest for. Huge admirer of Tom Waits, not much of a motorsport fan, but this documentary had me nailed to the fucking seat.

Unknown is among us

Clumsy, poorly acted adaptation of A.C.'s novel.

Unseen tides pulling us apart

Quite a wicked and twisted story, borderline original, I wish they'd told it a tad more intense manner.

Drift on numbered days

This one, it desperately tries to be controversial and bring forth a breath of fresh air in black comedy, but it takes a little more than foul language and dirty jokes to cut it.

Like it sounds

Javier Bardem does one of the best performances in the history of cinema and the movie, even though disquietingly melancholic, is quite equally of arresting nature.

They were among us

Over three hours of material left little unsaid.

La vida loca

Stupendously bad. There's no fibre in this movie that's anywhere near something alright.

Pumped up on prozac

Right from the get-go, 'Will this ever end?' was my one and only thought.

Martin, Marsan, Gemma

Quite a show of talentmanship to make a watchable movie full of gaping plotholes, questions unanswered and unsuspectedness hovering somewhere there in total zero.

Whipping rigor mortis

I believe I've heard the term for an obsession to watch movies like this. Self-flagellation, if I'm not mistaken. Humiliation of one's self.

Do some apocalyptic doom

Probably the best satire of all time. Of 'em many things, I was particularly flabbergasted by the phenomenal writing and acting.

A little slice of rabid mental illness

Not as dead-on exquisite as the previous one (Mielensäpahoittaja) I read, but this picaresque novel has its moments and funny bits alright.

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...
