Hee hee. It's true, though. Nearly everything is sexual in a Bunuel film.

30 Minutes or Less (2011)

An okay-time passing comedy, not as good as I expected.

>>: B-

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

Some may find it surprising but I never been a fan of the Planet of the Apes movies & TV series. Actually I haven't seen them all properly (even the 1968 original, which started it all). The thing is when I was a kid (I don't know why but) I didn't like the idea of Apes are being behaving or dressing like humans; yeah..it'd be definitely interesting to see them 'talking' but in general monkeys or apes should act in their natural way. For example, Kong or Joe Young...they have a good deal of 'humanity' in them but at the end of day, they are what they are[:D]. Anyway, after all these years this film (which they are saying an origin story for a new Planet of the Apes franchise) have successfully able to change my view. This is year's best so far and Andy Serkis deserves at least some nominations in coming award seasons for 'portraying' the role of Caesar so brilliantly, IMO. The best thing is they have came with a simple but beautifully intact origin story of POTA & kept it like that way and that made the movie so amazing to follow & watch, I found nothing overdone or exaggerated in this movie in terms of story & character development, sfx action sequence etc. I'm very...very much looking forward to see the sequels in coming years.

>>: A

Fright Night (2011)

It wasn't as funny or enjoyable like the original but not a bad remake also.

>>: B

Warrior (2011)

A pretty good drama about a 'fighter family' but I was expecting the exact opposite result in the final game that the film came with & delivered an "everyone's happy" or feel good finale, which is very usual for this kind of film.

>>: B+

I'd definitely recommend this one and The Exterminating Angel.

That being said, it's not. It IS a sports movie like The Fighter and the Rocky movies. It's much more about the story than the fights. And that's all fine.

But with all the hype this movie got in here i just thought the fights were gonna be awsome.

I'm not going to argue semantics about what a martial art is or a martial art movie but I agree its a sport movie not a chop socky flick.

I really enjoyed the fight scenes especially Tom Hardy's sparring for money one but I am an MMA fan and was a practioner/fighter so I'm glad they went the realistic route (unlike Never Back Down).

Caught Warrior last light. Thought it was solid. Well executed and for it's running time didn't drag. Even though the story was familiar and fairly predictable they pulled it off by having great well acted characters. I was expecting more of a old school tournament flick but wasn't disappointed. The final fight was great (although it did seem kinda weird [spoiler]he plowed through everyone including the stronger fighters until the last fight.... but that's the unpredictable nature of the tournament I guess)[/spoiler]. Never watched much MMA but this has made me keen to check more of it out.
