i saw this recently, i really liked it.

i saw avatar last week, i wouldn't have gone if it hadn't been free and my colleagues didn't peer pressure me into it, but i liked it way more than i thought i would.

also watched these at the weekend








both a bit underwhelming

first blood is a classic man! and the last Rambo is non stop killins!

Shutter Island - It was pretty great

Yeah it's brilliant... a LOT different than I thought it was going to be actually.

Almost all of Aki Kaurismaki's films are exactly the same, with like two films that serve as major deviations. In fact, a lot of them feel like remakes of each other. But the good thing is, if you like once, you like em all. Really, Ariel is probably the best, though I think Lights in the Dusk deserves special mention. They all kinda blend together in my mind, honestly. All shot the same, edited the same, paced the same, lit the same, filmed the same, the same actors sometimes; othertimes, the same characters. It's odd, it's like his a lot of his films serve as weird parallel versions of each other.

Also, more smoking in his films than any I can think of.

heavy metal parking lot - well, the actual feature is only 15 minutes long, actually, so 10/10


hardcore - this dvd as a whole gets 4/10. Just not much to it. FINGERED is brilliant, though, and actually gave me a boner.


horrors of malformed men - uhh.../10


sins of the fleshapoids - 6/10

One of the weirdest films ever.

Deer Hunter is my favorite film of all time. It makes me cry.

I watched An Education. It sucked.

The Rambo movies are worthless. Not even entertaining. I'd take Hudson Hawk over that shit. Actually, I'd take STOP! OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT!..

I was so pissed when Fingered wouldn't work for me. It would always skip around, and freeze up any DVD player i put it in. I had a jinxed copy, just like a guy in an Amazon review I had read. I popped it in a few months ago (after nearly 2 years of owning it), and Fingered suddenly worked!

I really like this collection though. Kern's the man.

I didn't see much to it, except some pretty girls, and annoying Foetus music. Kern is pretty talentless. I tried to apreciate it from many different angles, but I just couldn't... Fingered is the only thing that really stood out to me. I was bored silly by most of the shorts.

royal tenenbaums - 3/10

UGH. This film is TERRIBLE. Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller... both of these egomaniacs have never been in a good movie (usually, the movies are ruined by their very presence, since they are obnoxious and unfunny as humanly possible -- and it's also true in real life, apparently, especially of Stiller), and this continues that wonderful streak. You know you're in trouble when the first 16 minutes of the film is presented in narration, constantly cutting back and forth between uninteresting characters being presented in uninteresting scenarios. Seriously, has there ever been another movie with more unlikeable characters? This movie is a failure, through and through -- it's presented as a comedy, but it's not funny in any way. It's pretty much impossible to appreciate from any angle, and I really tried to, but it made me realize that any movie that is presented in a mainstream context that's the least bit "quirky" or "different" is automatically praised, when there are a thousand fucking independant films released a year no one gives a shit about because they don't have Ben Stiller in them. WORTHLESS SHIT.

on the other hand...

searching for the wrong eyed jesus - 8/10

u so crazy

girlie movie about relationships, but, hell i cant help loving it because it Korean!(==>korean grrlz)

korean grrrls + lollipops = thesex

chelsea girls - 10/10

I want 3 things after watching this.

1. To go to a Gathering of the Juggalos
2. A life size Riddlebox, with spring loaded rocket head (you'll have to see it to believe it)
3. Some hot Juggalette neden

10/10

chaser - 7/10


the eel - 7/10
