Those are just firecrackers

Oscar Grant goes to jail, gets out, can't keep a job, dabbles in minor drug dealing, but is a decent husband and a great dad. Until shit hits the fan at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland, California. Based on a true story. Not one of those uplifting joyous fucken funny stories.

Three little girls went out on a boat ride and never came back

Season two of this little hidden gem, The Lakes. Quite honestly, the best British TV drama. Everyone should see it a few times.

Piloting a drone from a control facility

Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme novels used to be my favourites. They aren't any longer. It's either him or me, one of us has lost his edge. A decent thing, but it feels like it's become a little stagnated the whole series.

Ten happy fingers

It's really just blatantly robbed from Joel Schumacher's Phone Booth (2002), the story, but they made quite an exciting little Hichcockian thriller nevertheless. Flawed in many ways, plotholes aplenty, but good fun.

Loners don't tend to last long

Just fucken excellent never-seen-before cinematography. Two and half hours of pure artistry. The full-blown action is wicked and violent, you are mesmerized by everything you see.

Blackened cajun chicken

The best movie ever released. Or the worst. At least one of those movies that you have to see at least once in your lifetime. Recommended to those poor souls who are open-minded enough and aren't offended by the scum and the filth and the shit, and tits and asses.

Ectoplasm impossibly erupted from entranced mediums

Four full-lenght tricks by my favourite illusionist Derren Brown. Not his best works here however, the Séance bit for instance was quite rubbish.

Nature has an order

A chaotic hunt for one Godzilla and two gigantic beasts who eat plutonium for breakfast. A disaster movie has rarely been this motherfucking boring. It could have been heaps better had they paid any attention to the quality of the colours in the home theater release, watching a black screen makes any movie rather tedious.

The sleeping land

Living is hard in Siberia. Friends may turn into enemies and then there's drugs and clans, and the police ain't too nice either, and they all speak English with a shitty Russian accent. The so called language really got to me, I've seen a few of these foreign (outside Hollywood) movies lately that in hope of a western breakthrough make this desperate language move. I guess this is essentially an Italian movie (directed by Gabriele Salvatores). The hired guns are known figures; John Malkovich (as a clan grandpa) and Peter Stormare (as an ink master). All in all, shittiest thing I've seen all week.

After a month, we ate the weak

A dystopian society and the world has frozen solid. A bullet train as its own enclosed ecosystem circles around the globe and holds the remains of all life. However the tail section ain't too happy eating crap and themselves, so they get very rebellious. Sounds a tad silly, but was quite alrite.

Secrets have a cost

Kinda meh. These superhero movies or what-have-you comic fucks, they've lost the edge, aren't they? It was like watching a video game or animated feature, not a film.

Time is not a garden hose

Intentionally weird - and I usually hate those fuckers. I didn't give a damn of this so called stoner movie either, not that I can say I understood it all. The ins and outs and the core of the story is more than likely explained thoroughly somewhere, but I don't have time for such nonsense.

Pissholes in the snow

Don't know whether it was planned and calculated or plain robbery, but it sure as hell ain't coincidental, as Stanley Kubrick took lots of ideas and footnotes from The Boys In Company C (1978) for his own Vietnam piece Full Metal Jacket (1987), including R. Lee Ermey. And not only Kubrick, Oliver Stone (his Platoon) and Ridley Scott (his American Gangster) were out shopping as well. And it amazes me a little because this ain't that good a movie.

Innocent men don't run

A curious little movie consisting of episodes that are intertwined in the end. Some moments in the story escaped me coz I didn't really grasp the fucker of a twist that included a mysterious package, shroud of Jesus and a black fairy girl with a sweet tooth, but I still quite liked it.

Dead mackerel eyes

It took me quite a long time to finish the 5th and final season of Breaking Bad. I wanted it to last longer and enjoyed it in small doses only. It's good. It's really fucking good.

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...
