Just watched Straw Dogs...I heard this movie is pretty intense, and i must agree...Can't picture Dustin Hoffman in that kind of role, which is why it probaly worked for me...good movie and crazy in the last half hour

El Mariachi- 4.5/10

I'm sorry, but that was pathetic. I can't believe that is a Rodriguez film. Desperado and Once Upon* were so many times better than that... I hated it.

I loved Sweeney Todd but Burton's best? I don't know, I'm VERY excited to see his version of Alice in Wonderland!

Not gonna lie... The thing I liked the best out of the whole film was the first sex scene. The rest was kind of... What the hell was that? I expected more. Otherwise it was watchable.
Lemme get this straight...out of the entire movie, you liked the sex scene best? Cmon Posh...Dellamorte Dellamore is one of the best black humor horror movies ever made. Geez...




Beowulf.


For the most part its entertainment galore, but overdose of CGI can be annoying. The casting is spot-on and the direction is really commendable. Ray Winstone and Crispin Glover are the two standout performers. I had a fun time watching Grendel and Beowulf slug it out, and then Angelina Jolie in all her exoticness (even in CGI) dominate the latter part of the movie.

Its a fun movie. If you want entertainment and tons of it, give it a shot.



Rating - ***1/2

It was funny! It was entertaining and spontaneous. But yeah... The sex scene. Sorry. In a graveyard with a dark woman at night. *dies*

He made an action flick with guns and stunts (including sliding down a wire and slamming into a moving bus) for $4000.

That's what made him an instant star because he showed amazing ingenuity and visual flair on a budget of nothing. No one makes an action film for $4000 quite literally 1/100 of what would be considered a "low budget film."

The story was weak, I give it huge props because the imagery and themes are like a tex-mex filtered spaghetti western and the story is the first film in the Trilogy that continues with Desperado & Once Upon a Time in Mexico which were made with Millions of dollars.

I understand not thinking it was awesome, because it ain't, but it is an important film.


I just watched
Black Book

Paul Verhoeven's Dutch language WWII themed flick is a gem. And excellently complicated tale with relentless action, tension, tragedy, sex and actual (and unexpected) romance. Some of Verhoeven's best work, and I say that as a fan. The Acting is top-notch. The more I contemplate it, the more I like it.

9/10

The Toolbox Murders remake.
Better than the original in more ways than one.
