Mush and tasteless

Boldly advertised as a “thriller of the year”. That’s what I though of getting, a thriller of some sort at least. However, Catfish is a documentary of stolen or borrowed identities and it’s vividly discussed  whether it’s a fake or not. And I really don’t care.

The truth bends

Has an interesting start, but after that the story just trudges along, goes nowhere and ends disappointingly.

Robin Hood of Collinwood

My kind of a movie. Mafia wars a-blazing, hitmans and snitches, characters tough as nails. And it has a mob movie cast written in the stars to boot.

At war with God

Charles Darwin struggles with his book, the church and his life. Paul Bettany as the killer of God.

Satan och kapitalet

Hans Erik Dyvik Husby aka Hank von Helvete (ex-Turbonegro) does quite a magnificently splendid performance as Dutch-born Swedish troubadour and cult figure Cornelis Vreeswijk, unfortunately the movie does not follow his level of commitment.

God is out to lunch

Willem Dafoe as a nazi and Jeff Goldblum as a sad clown. That's the story in a nutshell. That, and it's a boring piece.

To be really dead must be glorious

In 1931. Ust-Abakanskoye becomes Abakan. Robert Duvall and James Earl Jones are born. Al Capone is sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion in Chicago, Illinois. And Tod Browning completes Dracula, Bela Lugosi as Count Vladimir Dracula.

Frumpy sounds onomatopoetically right

I am a fan of this witty, educative and articulate series. It oftentimes flies above my understanding with its U.S. domestic policy jargon, but gladly it's usually style over matter. However, it ain't endlessly top-notch, when The West Wing is kind of in an idle mode it can be deadly boring. But having said that, when it's on fire, it takes your breath away.

Jar of gypsy tears

"Are you telling me the man who tried to put a rubber fist in my anus was a homosexual?" Top that Seth Rogen, Tod Phillips and Adam Sandler.

Come what may

Don't know if it's bad acting or what, but the chemistry between the main stars here is nonexistent, it however doesn't entirely vaporize the appeal of this adult fairytale.

Unholy grasp of Satan

Lotsa cockshite superstition, bodysnatching rascals and walking stiffs. Sounds like in between funny and scary, but it wasn't.

Crazy how you can get yourself in a mess sometimes

Somewhat decent film noir, but even tho' it's a Stanley Kubrick piece, it's nothing out of ordinary.

Funeral drugs

Broodingly depressive, as espected, but, as espected, real fucken good.

Extraterrestrials in the trees

Despite super-monsters, high calibre machine guns, attack helicopters and fighter jets that could easily kill thousands, and fuck else, this was boring shit.

No man cannot walk out on his own story

I've never been particularly interested in animated features, but if they are as entertaining, energized, funny, cleverly written, masterfully voice-acted and music-scored as Rango here, they should come around more often.

Eagles suck

Irritatingly boring sports & comedy movie that lacks in action and humour. Each and every scene is painfully prolonged. I wept in frustration.

Got it late in the evening

An above average British thriller, in between the likes of Hitcher and Duel, less in atmosphere, close in tension, more in gore.

Darkness is a color

One of the best films of the year. One of the most memorable. And one of the most terrifying.  The film was directed by Curry Barker born ...
