Pacific Rim


I really liked this one. Probably one of the best movie's i've seen this year. I thought the concept sounded awesome and silly at the same time but luckily it was just awesome. It was a lot of fun with a good story and good performances. I thought it was a little rushed in the beginning but it played out better that way. I liked that they chose a female lead that wasn't the typical looking girl. Probably my favorite parts of the movie were Charlie Day's scenes. He was awesome as the Kaiju loving scientist. I really hope they make a sequel.

"Ninja: Shadow of a Tear" 9/10

The firat one was good. This one was awsome.

Reminded me so much of the 80s/90s martial arts/adventure movies starring Loren Avedon, such as "No retreat, No Surrender 2, King of the Kickboxers and Deadly Ransom.

Had tons of very well choreographied fights and some really talented enemies for Scott Adkins to fight. Tim Man (kill Em All) might even be more talented than Adkins. Both had some insane stunt kicks in their fight.
But to me the highlight of the movie must be the long bar fight, which showed some really spectacular stunts and had me laughing at the same time.

I will be watching this movie again, that's for sure.


"Insidious 2" 8-9/10

Yes, it was really good.

My only problem with this movie was the insanly loud score everytime something remotely scary happened. That's just too cheap a trick to use, especially when it's coming from James Wan. He of all directors should know how to create scares and atmosphere without using the cheapest trick in the book. Loud music and noises.

Been a bit in a Lovecraftian mood lately and also been meaning to check this one out. First time I saw it.
Different from what I expected but worth watching.
And the guy from Re-animator is always a plus.

The Midnight Meat Train
Third time or so I saw this movie. Still like it.
Vinnie Jones is great in his role.

The Ninth Gate
One of my favorites. Great story and execution.

I find Stuart Gordon added a nice little touch of S&M and Leather that was lacking from many Lovecraft's tales.

"Lovelace" 6/10

Depressing, but not very exciting told tory. And i don't think anything is revealed that you couldn't read on Wikipedia.
But it was well acted with a whole lot of famous faces in small cameos.




"Don Jon" 8/10


Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a porn addict. God bless.

I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt and thought this movie was hilarious, but also a strong directoral debut. He not only directed the movie but also wrote the script. And what have I done lately?! NOTHING!!

I also liked some of the messages in it, such as people (girls) who watches two many romance movies get a equally wrong picture of how a relationship should be like than people (guys) who watches too much porn.
This message might not be completely true, but i still like it. :D

My only small proplem with it was Don Jon and his italian family. Italian family even tho it's pretty damn obvious it's only the dad (Tony Danza) who's born in Italy. No matter how thick an italian accent Gordon-Levitt put on it just didn't make him look more italian. And don't get me started on the mom and sister. Why the hell did they all have to be italian in the first place??? Just plain odd..

Nevertheless, the performances all around (if we forget about the accents) were really good.


Recommended.


And guys. If Joseph Gordon-Levitt can be a pon addict, you can too. ;)
Go nuts.
