Mysterious Skin was great. Gregg Araki's best work along with The Living End and The Doom Generation.

Rampart

Nice gritty character piece. Thought it was excellent.

Machete Maidens Unleashed!

Not nearly as entertaining as Not Quite Hollywood but still a good watch. I discovered a few films I hadn't heard of which was nice for a change. R. Lee Ermey's points about how Apocalypse Now grossly misrepresented and belittled what veterans went through was a valid point and it was refreshing to hear someone challenge it's place as a classic.

Never Back Down 2


I kept putting off seeing this until i read how much Elvis liked it. I gotta say i think the story played out better in the first one but this one was more exciting and the fight scenes were incredible. I liked the progression of the one character becoming the villain but i thought the final fight between the characters in the first one was better then this one. Still a really good follow up that actually continues the story instead of just having the same name.

The Raven


I liked it but instead of being a movie portraying his work it seemed more like they just used his work as a gimmick for the movie. It's not bad but i'd much rather just read some of his stories.

The fact that it's called The Beatdown probably doesn't help that ;)

"Your Highness"
Hm, not really great eh...
A few scoffs here and there, but it seems like all the intended laughs from the blatant vulgarity just seemed forced.
Nah...didn't much like it at all.

I'm completely with you on that.
It's like they've chosen him in secondary bits all the time over the last few years, and yeah I have to say he's never once made me laugh...I have a friend who's right into him that keeps insisting watching that show he's in now, but yeah...he's just shit...
