Avi, Fortunato, Rod...hell, anyone who hasn't seen this movie needs to do so immediately. Powerful, gritty, stylish stuff.

I have the DVD but havent got around to watching it yet.

With THAT recommendation, it is making into my weekend-watch list. :)

Robocop

Always satisfies. Verhoeven, Bottin, Weller... it's fanboy heaven.

The Ruins

I was too tired to drop this review in last night. I thought it was going to be another lame "kids get in over thier head in a foreign country" movie. It certainly fits that description, but little about this film is lame or even typical.

There is a raw, unflinching air about it that is really effective and creepy. Best theatrical horror so far this year (not much of a compliment, I know) and absolutely worth seeing in the theaters because...

- it's not a remake!
- it's from a scary book and is pretty damned faithful
- self-surgery
- a fresh environment... Mayan ruins are awesome and it's about time they figure in a horror flick
- Jenna Malone, she's always great!

not brilliant, but fun and creepy and dark.
7.5/10

Death Sentence

the ending was worth the wait. raw, cold-blooded, enrelenting.
thats what a revenge movie should be like. the hero gets mad, goes nuts, and fucks up everybody and a furious look on his face.

wasnt as cool as Wake Of Death, which is hard to top, but it was pretty good.

It appears to be slow or repetitive.... what do you think?
