Celebrate the sunshine

Like a friend of mine said Escape at Dannemora is a brilliant mini-series altho every character is despicable. Yes, they all are either vile, plain assholes or magnificently stupid. But, damn, what an incredible treat. An utter joy to watch. Benicio Del Toro, Patricia Arquette, Paul Dano, David Morse and Eric Lange with superb performances. They say it's based on a true story, of a real prison escape and people willingly or unwillingly playing a role on the events and the manhunt that followed within.

Back from the dead

Gotta compare this to the earlier Pet Sematary (1989) and not the Stephen King novel (1983) because I remember fuck all of the latter. Can't say which one is more loyal and accurate to the story and it does not really matter. The '89 piece was alright, scary and eerie at the right places, this ain't. Just a messy pick-and-mix of scary shit. Man digs up his recently passed away daughter only to re-bury her at an Indian burial ground.

Satan's holiday home

King Arthur himself chopped up a great plague witch to several pieces and buried the parts in different locations. Now they are building up the witch, literally piece by piece. To remain the greatest beast on Earth, Hellboy must stop this crazy project. The series is still entertaining, kinda funny, harmless cartoonish nonsense. David Harbour as Hellboy, Ian McShane as his father and Milla Jovovich as Nimue, the undead queen of witches.

Sieg Heil, Mutterfickers!

After Earth dying, people are co-existing with the moon nazis on the dark side of the moon. Everyone has lost their hope and their only way of escape of reality is a cultish religion Jobsist, followers of Steve Jobs. Obi Washington is the only one trying to keep the place and people from falling apart because the leader of the moon - her mother - is dying of something sinister. Obi meets the Moon Fuhrer (Udo Kier) and learns there's secret elixir at the center of the Earth that can make miracles happen. She must find the entrance to the hollow Earth in nuclear winter and onboard are her friends and foes. What lies ahead takes everyone's breath away. Another cool Iron Sky adventure.

Beware the quiet man

Christian Bale is outstanding, sensational, as Dick Cheney, the ruthless former Vice President of U.S.A. He makes everyone else - Steve Carell, Amy Adams, Sam Rockwell - look like fucking mannequins. And otherwise too, Vice is a good, fantastically woven story, at times wonderfully courageous and unorthodox film making. Proper shit.

Crawling through a river of shit

I didn't intend to watch The Shawshank Redemption. It came from the TV, I watched the first 15 minutes and, as I was tired, I contemplated of shutting it down at the first commercial break. But I didn't. It's one of those movies that grabs you for a drive and you can't let go. The greatest movie of all time, don't necessarily agree, but said everywhere, so it's gotta be true.

Life is like an empty cylinder

Patrick deWitt's The Sisters Brothers is one of the funniest western adventures I've ever read. It's possible my memory doesn't serve me right, but anyways the movie (directed by Jacques Audiard) ain't as thoroughly funny, sarcastic and wild as the novel. It kind of tries to be, at the beginning at least, but the atmosphere navigates towards more sombre vibrations. By no means, it doesn't mean it wasn't a good movie, it is, just didn't give what I came in for and, in all honesty, it doesn't quite know what it's trying to say. Bounty hunters and prospectors and the infamous western chief The Commodore (the great Rutger Hauer in one of his final roles) in search of chemical formula to find gold.

It's all neurochemistry

Even if you're dead, for few hours even, the neurological data is still accessible, so taking the biological brain and imprinting it into a synthetic one, they can replicate the human mind. You're good as new, probably host a new body, but cloned to perfection still. Sounds easy and simple. But the question is should the dead remain dead. Keanu Reeves is a scientist William Foster who violates every natural law on earth, and beyond, when his family is stricken with a terrible tragedy. The whole thing was doomed to begin with, but if you forget all the foolishness, it's pretty entertaining. Or better yet, because of the foolishness, it's entertaining. Can't tell. Does not matter.
