The Stoning of Soraya M (2008). The title does not bode well for our eponymous heroine. This is far from the easiest of films to watch. The devolution of humanity into hatred born of lust is almost too much to bear, but bear it we must. The performances are sublime, with the woman folk presenting powerful portrayals of forced subservience. The men are just as believable, smug and smarmy, hiding their desires behind a veil of spirituality. The Islamic faith is is left outside of the realms of culpability, it is the men that use it to extract their own icky desires that is in contention. The camera work and direction are equally solid. This was simply a powerful and unflinching movie whose denouement is ineffable yet true. Ashe.

Hard Boiled (1992). Kaboom! should have been this flick's title since all things struck by flying projectiles tend toward dramatic explosion. At first view, this looks to be a lame action flick, but nothing could be further from the truth. What might be silly in another's hand Woo turns into an almost surreal art. Cops flying through the air shooting and hitting everyone, motorcycles exploding in the air as well, blood spraying hospital corridors as if thrown by a violent Picasso, piles of bodies innocent and not, this is pure art in action. Nonstop fun is punctuated by occasional dialog and story, but such things never threaten to slow down the action, with wonderfully shot shootouts that would challenge the choreography in a Michael Jackson video. In other words, this was highly entertaining with no other ostensible purpose. Merci beaucoup.

Daybreakers: Thought it was pretty good. Had a nice Sci-Fi feel to it and the story and set up was great, but it kinda fell short in the end. Not bad, but not as good as it could've or maybe should've been.

Valhalla Rising
A lot more surreal than I was expecting but this was still excellent. Well worth your time. No Retreat No Surrender All the sped up camera parts cracked me up. I liked this one more than when I first saw it in the 80s as a kid.
