Ip Man (2008)


It's a Semi-Biographical movie about Bruce Lee's Kung Fu Master. It's set during the second Sino-Japanese war in the 1930's. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I thought it was a pretty excellent movie. More Hollywood than historical fact, but it was still nominated for 12 awards in Hong Kong and won Best Picture and Best Action Choreography. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy martial arts films at all. There's also a Part 2 which I'm hopefully going to see later this week. Anyway, I'd give it an 8.5/10.

The Fields (2011)





Very odd, bizarre, and ultimately unsettling movie. Not sure I would recommend it per se, but it definitely creeped me out.

Yeah, that's why I wouldn't recommend it per se - I totally get why people thought it was boring and it took me a while to get into it... But I'm going to be honest; they definitely wanted to set a certain mood and it legitimately creeped me out.

Looked at a few reviews and I think that viewers are really polarized here - After a mediocre review in Rue Morgue I was surprised to see a lot of positive reviews when I Googled it.

Deadhead was a fine zombedy but didn't like The Fields. Yeah it was boring but more frustrating part is it's got some potential in the story but to some extent it turned out nothing at the end!! And I hate this kind of films.

Thumbs up



Took a break from horror to watch this classic western. Awesome storyline: does might make right when there is no government? Highly recommended.
