Like a twist of rotten silk
Not that it was the first time or anything, but they were pretty ambitious, the film makers, and brought Shakespearean texts and sounds into present time. The actors were having a hoot, no doubt, Ralph Fiennes in particular was on fire, but as a whole the movie was tedious and boring experience. I just learned this was a Ralph Fiennes film, his first, so, well, good luck.

Dead men don't press charges
To tell the truth, I though of purchasing The Killing the original, the Danish one, but I got this one. But nevertheless, it was and still is a fucking intriguing who-dunnit mystery.
Thorns are on the road
Judging by the photos on the DVD cover, I thought of getting a high octane thriller with Dillem Dafoe as a hard-ass assassin, but I got a movie with enviromental issues. So the Tasmanian nature steps up, there's some drama and it's rather watchable and that's it.
Bank robbers make bank
Normally, I don't care much of these kind of comedies, but because I watched it straight after the slow-moving Melancholia it seemed funnier than it actually is.
It tastes like ashes
Applauded and awarded as an epic masterpiece in Festival de Cannes. But not here baby. Boring shite.

The poor die and the rich don't live
The utopian story of the movie was so fucken rubbish that I was actually quite pleased the actors playing it were equally bad, so it was wholly shite and I don't need to pinpoint anything positive, anything at all.

Right between the eyes baby
Fast-paced French action fuckery that offers lotsa nonsense and absolutely nothing new, but at least it galloped like a motherfucker.
Shrouded by black clouds
Sean Penn as an aging rock star on a nazi hunt. Slightly off-kilter road movie that at times is genuinely funny and heartfelt, and sometimes it's artsy shite boring.

Hell's bollocks
For thirty years, these brits have been funny and entertaining as fuck. But it's difficult keeping up in being funny for thirty years.

You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect
Yet again, a season packed up with brilliant episodes (The Opposite, The Hamptons, The Marine Biologist, The Puffy Shirt) and I'm sucking 'em down like Coca-Cola.

The siege of Stalingrad
Bunch of TV nobodies trying to act for a living, and fail. The director and writer and everyone else involved probably did their work with their eyes shut. Don't remember shit of the Peckinpah original, but I'm sure it's more than decent and I'm quite convinced he jumps from his grave and kills everyone when he sees this, mad-angry.

Sic vis pacem, bara bellum
The second part of Jens Lapidus Stockholm Noir. Sweden's crime syndicates and bent cops in full battle.

Fatten up the pig
Police force is someone not to fuck with in Rio de Janeiro's favelas. Top-notch no-shit depiction of corruption and crime.
Too many ornaments
Sometimes it was hilariously funny and surprisingly witty. On the other hand, Karl Pilkington is a crybaby and on a long run his whining gets to you.

Nocturnal and nameless
There are thousands of movies like this in every town. Some of these sentimental fucks are alright, some of them aren't.

Fight darkness with darkness
Vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, fairies, werepanthers (!) and witches gone amok. Sometimes TV is the cool cinema.

The odor of Kronos is killing me
In principle, this is a very-low key movie with no story whatsover, a film about nothing. But, really, only in principle, it still has four fine actors with brilliant words who make and carry the movie which, in the end, is quite exquisite, hilariously funny and clever. One of the best ones I've seen this year.

Demons are coming out
Some reasonable talent in people like Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell and Clancy Brown, but of course someone wrote them a movie that is complete turd.

Armed with a rusty nail
The twist at the end of this plotholed movie was painfully constrained and Topher Grace's charisma was breath-takingly nonexistent.
