Haha. I've seen clips of that but never the whole thing. Thanks for reminding me. It's straight on my Lovefilm list now.

I'm on a bit of an 80s action kick at the moment, so just watched



Cobra



Above the Law (or Nico as it's called here - for whatever reason)

my bro and I watched Cobra in theater when it came out. so much violence! terrible movie though.

It's coming up as offensive, that I need to sign in to see it. So I'm guessing that's the bit. Haha.

Seven Psychopaths

Walken deserved an Oscar.

When does he not?!

Training Day

I like when he smokes dust

I really liked it but I can never take Denzel Washington seriously as a bad guy. Ethan Hawke is fantastic though.

48 Hours

GI JOE- Rise of Cobra ... Don't judge me.

I have a soft spot for Donovan's Reef, too, even if I don't think it's a particularly good film. But I love the locations and, as you mention, the quite lighthearted feel to it all. It's the kind of film I'll happily have playing in the background so I can occasionally look away from whatever I'm doing to see the nice beaches, Dorothy Lamour, etc..

watched all 3 of them over the past couple days

Watched Django Unchained with my wife the other day. I give it a 6/10. The first hour and a half had us involved and expecting greatness, and then the last hour or so just deflated everything, and became disjointed.

I think Tarantino and his writing buddy had good ideas to start everything but ran out of plot. The last hour was just boring and predictable.

Planet Terror

I still hate the whole Grindhouse thing Tarantino and Rodriguez were trying to do but I enjoyed watching this again far more than I did the first time. Probably just saw it in the right mood this time. I'm worried now, that I might stick Death Proof on and find myself liking it, too.

a dangerous method



cronenberg rules! this is probably his less-cronenbergian movie i've seen (except maybe for some very remote parallel with dead ringers, as you might guess from the poster), but anyway, it's great! a little heavy on the theory, so you gotta know a bit to catch all the insider nuances of the dialogue, but no, not dry abstraction like cosmopolis.

anyway, all good. as for keira knightley, if you thought she was just a pretty face, you wuz wrong!



her freakouts are great, and really ugly! i love her for daring to look positively horrendous-- much respect. and yes, she can act!



you gotta catch that in motion to fully appreciate though.

anyway, like all cronenberg, not for everyone, and it might not be for cronenberg fans either, more like a merchant-ivory with nerds fucking, but there it is.

LA Takedown

Not as good as Heat but, for a TV movie, this is amazing.
