Fixing bullet holes

Hotel Artemis is hospital for the criminals. Ongoing riots ensure that Los Angeles in 2028 is a very violent city. The citizens have nearly lost the supply of clean water and that´s why they are stark raving angry, but the privileged criminals have a perfect hiding hole from both the law and the looters. Its nurse (Jodie Foster) and another health professional Everest (Dave Bautista) who run the place however compromise the hospital's security and get all sort of shit coming their way. Nowhere near perfect, but quite a sympathetic little indie. 

Carnival of carnage

What a crap. In a very one-sided documentary or show, Piers Morgan interviews three notorious serial killers - Mark Riebe, The Kansas City Strangler Lorenzo Gilyard and Bronx Serial Killer Alejandro Henriquez - but prefers putting himself on the spotlight. Yes, the killers most probably are in the prison for all the right reasons and they are disgusting maggots, but Piers Morgan does his everything to annoy and therefore shut them up. They all had something to say, they all wanted to say something, but the interviewer was biased to begin with and didn't want to hear anything. We probably lost the last and only change to dig up something new from those cases because of the idiot journalist. Had this been handed to someone like Louis Theroux, it would have been amazing.

Life eater in the sky

The virus, it's an influenza that makes you kill yourself if you open your eyes outside. You only live if you are blindfolded while you go about your business outdoors. It's a steadily spreading beast out there, steadfastly annihilating the human population. It's a total endgame! Something like straight from The Twilight Zone territory and actually it's pretty good!

Girls pleasuring phantoms

Django ain't someone to fuck with. Armed with coffinful of secrets he's ready to combat Mexicans and an army of Confederates. My Western streak continues and this one is from 1966. One of many Quentin Tarantino's influences, I hear. Franco Nero (Django) even appeared in Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012).

Steaming ball of foreshadowing

Cancer-ridden superhero Deadpool is at the end of his rope and lost his desire to live. Once he's saved by the X-Men organization and improsoned due to his rough way of problem-solving, he's head to head with a cyborg called Cable from the future. Lots of wild, borderline batshit crazy, things going on, but as some sort of deranged cousin from the whole Marvel universe, Wade Wilson as Deadpool continues being cool and the offbeat style in the movies is truly entertaining and refreshing. 

Rapture of the black night

Sometimes the little things get under my skin. Why they had to fill up the quiet moments of the film with outrageously loud soundtrack? This is supposed to be a lovely little relationship drama with a dose of rural nostalgia set around Christmas time and the shitty soundtrack overload is fucking everywhere.

A splash of whiskey to wash the trail dust

What a hoot. Ethan and Joel Coen's The Ballad of Buster Scruggs probably is the funniest and the most beautiful and entertaining film I've seen all year. It's a western anthology film featuring six stories and they all are great and unique in their own way. They are all set in the Wild West, but otherwise has nothing too much in common. However it's a trademark Coen film, so it's funny, smart and looks absolutely gorgeous (courtesy of Bruno Delbonnel's cinematography). Little bit of heaven.

North of blue moon

Anders Breivik is a despicable human being. A proper fucking cunt. Paul Greengrass' movie sums up the massacre that happened in Utøya, Norway, at 22nd of July, 2011. As they shoud, made the effort to utilize Norwegian actors, but I cannot fathom the reason why they made them speak English, it's utterly useless and takes away a lot of effectiveness from the film.

Gnarly psychos and crazy evil

Approximately a two hour movie and the first hour was shit. So much annoyingly surreal, hypnotic and artsy cinematography that I almost gave up on it. I would have if Nicolas Cage hadn't been his cool self. The rest of the movie is pretty wicked, a man who has lost his wife goes against Jesus freaks and a demon-biker gang called Black Skulls.

Hideous hearts

It really ain't anything else than two snipers spotting and trying to kill each other. Compared to Mine, Buried and Phone Booth, where one character is isolated, trapped in one place and tries to find a way to escape. This one didn't get too much credit, people said that soldiers don't operate like that, all that, and I understand the criticism, but I was well entertained.

Envious of the finality of death

Captain Joseph Blocker (Christian Bale) has fought against indians his whole adult life and when, as a goodwill gesture from the president, he's ordered to escort a Cheyanne chief and his family back to indian reservations in Montana, the posse meets a woman whose family has been brutally executed by the Comanches. The journey through dangerous territories has a good chance of becoming a truly violent adventure. This looks like a good old western, one of the best contemporary ones I've seen, they don't come by too often.

See you later, irrigator

The fourth James Bond film, directed by Terence Young in 1965, starring Sean Connery as the agent 007, Claudine Auger as the Bond Girl Domino, Bernard Lee as Bond's superior M (the head of MI6), Desmond Llewelyn as 'Q' (the head of Q division), Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny (MI6 secretary) and Adolfo Celi as Largo, Number 2 of SPECTRE, the main antagonist. Title song sung by Tom Jones. The criminal organization steals two nuclear warheads and demands for a ramson from the NATO countries. Bond investigates the international extortion scheme.

A masquerade of recreation

Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and the Godfather of Punk Iggy Pop collaborate to release an album "Post Pop Depression" and a tour that follows within. Iggy is Iggy, he doesn't reveal too much of his persona, but once again Joshua Homme proves he is the most creative and versatile musician of his generation. Not saying their co-operation spewed the most mind-blowing music, but it's a fucking good movie at least.

Kill someone who matters

Vikings season 5 part I. After the death of Ragnar Lothbrok (brilliant Travis Fimmel) I feared the series would take quite a nosedive. On the contrary, it's possibly better than ever, the remaining next of kin cause havoc and mayhem and fear in Italy, Africa, Britain and in their own soil fighting with and against each other. Bloody marvellous.

A long line of bastards

Supervillain Thanos wants to capture all the infinity stones of the universe, so he can be the supreme leader, get total control and kill the inhabitants as he pleases. The superheroes of the galaxy must gather up, join forces to stop this madman. It's a very good movie, possibly the best of its genre, altho I wish they'd ease off the pedal a little and wouldn't produce these Marvel flicks at such a frantic pace because thrills of excitement may die out of oversupply.
