If you don't draw first, you don't get to draw at all

A game based on dystopian society, so that already makes it a bit special. But otherwise too, a remarkable looking fucker, excellently written and I hear people like Guillermo del Toro are interested in moving it to screen. One of the best games I have ever played.

Around me like flies around shit

Gulped it down like there was no tomorrow. Best fucking laughs.

Contracted AIDS from African prostitute

Awesome. Brainstormed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, starred by Warwick Davis and bunch of super stars. For instance Liam Neeson’s appearance on the first episode is a dead-on classic already.

Water of life

You don't see too many whiskey movies these days, Isle of Islay even less so. As soon as I finished watching this I had no choice but spent the rest of the night with 16 years old Lagavulin and 10 years old Tobermory. And Scottish beer. Thankfully I had some in stock. I even started reading a whiskey book thanks to this movie.

Always strive to elevate your craft

He's a tough symphatic cook, Jiro. Never misses a work day - apart from funerals - and he has mastered his craft for something like thousand years. Gotta try myself some sushi one day, a tunaless one though because I hate people massacring the species to death.

Choose between life and fiction

Quite good. In fact, would have been remarkably good without Bradley Cooper, he ain't disgustingly bad, but still.

The script reads me

Everything was ten times less funnier than it was the first time. I believe I didn't even laugh, not once. Lukewarm semi-entertaining crap.

For our dead were beyond the count of grief

A really long story with dwarves, orcs, witches, wizards, gandalfs, elves and all sorts of bonebreakers. Pretty cool, but it still left me disappointed when I realized this was just the first movie of the trilogy. You know, I'm not a super fan, I don't follow what's going on in the fantasy camp.

As in rockstar parking

I reckon, I haven't gaggled this much at mindless violence since Clockwork Orange. Or I don't know. I do not remember. Anyways, excellent fun and Joel Murray and Bara Lynne Barr were both fucking fantastic.

Monkey on my back

A book of one of Finland's prisons, Nokka. It's now shut down and someone thought it deserves a story even though there's no story to speak of. Most of the prisoners were there for the pretrial period, so it has had a its share of famous criminals, but only for a short period of time. Guards and few prisoners share their sugar coated tough guy shit.

World is cold

Fucklots of your typical thriller, they made millions just like this in the early Nineties. I'm sure they thought of making a tad more mysterious and secretive shit, but obviously thought wrong.

Protecting and rejecting

It started out as a decent Clint Eastwood movie, but then Justin Timberlake appeared out of nowhere and began fucking people in the ass. On a more serious note, I'm afraid Clint Eastwood's role as a crumpy old man in drama series has run its course and I think he should be doing more funkier roles.

Bueno moon

This was cuckoo. But kind of right kind of cuckoo. I'm not a sucker of this genre, but maybe this heat is making me absolutely crazy. Anyways, Susanne Bier seems to be doing everything right, probably any other director would have made miserable shite of this story.

Life does nothing

French cops and gangsters busy hacking each other to pieces. The story zigzags between two periods of time, the style I'm not too fond of, but otherwise decent Mafia stuff by the book w/ executions, torture, snitches and lavish living.

Shaking frenzy

The novel was infantile and not very well written. This is heaps better, but it ain't really but boring delirium tremens at best.

The devil will hear you

Totally indifferent to me. I didn't care one way or the other where the story went or what happened to the characters since the story was retarded to begin with, the actors were faceless fucks and all that. But at least Kate Mara is cute.

Eclectic pop for whiners

A documentary of bunch of Reykjavik bands playing at someone's backyard. A nice idea and I like the homegrown style of everything, but unfortunately the bands' (all seven of them) shoe-gazing hipster shit is garbage.

Power over will

Carl Hamilton (created by Jan Guillou) is a Swedish James Bond who doesn't fuck about and it's been cool shit until now. The novels and the movies (performed by Mikael Persbrandt, Peter Stormare, Stefan Sauk, Stellan Skarsgård and Peter Haber) have been cool and interesting, but this one is the all-time low. Amazingly stupid, poorly acted and fucking shite.

Asking a revived corpse five questions

Some of these fantasy movies just have to be given a chance sometimes, it may pay off. Like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves , b...
