Der Fall Gleiwitz (1961)

Re-enacted true story of successful assault by Nazis, posing as Poles, on a German border radio station so that Hitler could "justify" thereby his invasion of Poland.

8/10

Excellent: thoughtful and actually humorous cinematography and screenplay, amazing casting, insightful and thrillingly scripted.

Ive seen many Nazi movies....and this was one of my favorites only because of how, entertaining, it is.
 
Girl With Dragon Tattoo

I almost stopped watching it.
but, 7/10...and that is difficult because, really its probably an 11.



Part of Elizabeth I the HBO miniseries, I am about to watch that 1.5 hours over again.
;)

"and i will be entertained by you as well"
 
Watched Overboard the other day, an old Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell film, pretty funny film actually, would never have watched it if I hadn't been at my dad's house, he spotted it on netflix and said it was funny so we shoved it on and it was pretty funny.

 
Just came home from The Avengers....I thought they took a little longer to set it up than they needed to, but then that could be because it was my favourite comic for years so I am totally familiar with the characters and just wanted to get to the part where they kick ass and take names.

Once it got there though; awesome fight scenes, reasonably intelligent superhero movie with only a couple of plot holes you kinda had to use your Suspension of Disbelief powers for, and Joss Whedon is as good at characterisation as ever.

I was actually dubious about how this would work as a film....having peak humans with weapons like Hawkeye and Black Widow in a movie with literal gods like Thor and might-as-well-be-a-god the Hulk could have come off terribly, but it was really well done I felt. Everyone felt like they were equally as useful as one another.

Being that it was Whedon, I'm kind of surprised he didn't slip some more women into the film as it's what he's known for writing...and for anyone who knows the history of the comic, I think he would actually do a freakin' amazing Wasp (Hank Pym too, now that I think about it). Maybe the next movie...

Without giving anything away, I also literally gasped out loud and punched my non-comic nerd friend in the arm several times in excitement when I saw who it looks like they're setting up as the villain for the next movie. BECAUSE IT WILL BE AMAZING.

So all up, quite enjoyable, in the same league as X-Men First Class I would say! :)
 
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

watched it years ago, read the book last year, decided to watch it again to compare it to the book. satisfied with the adaptation. obviously had to omit some stuff even with a running time of 145 minutes. only complaint after reading the book is i wish the film focused more on grenouille's misanthropy and his time of self imposed solitude.

my favorite scene, i have similar experiences when smelling certain perfumes, or dank buds.
 
Permanent Midnight- Pretty good movie give it a 7/10. It was awsome seeing Ben Stiller play a junkie he was actually really convincing. Its got a shit ton of A list actors in it before they were super famous. I recomend this movie if you like dark junk movies and are bored.

Founding Brothers (2002) Documentary

Joyce Appleby of the Washington Post Book World commented that, "In lesser hands the fractious disputes and hysterical rhetoric of these contentious nation-builders might come across as hyperbolic pettiness. Ellis knows better, and he unpacks the real issues for his readers, revealing the driving assumptions and riveting fears that animated Americans' first encounter with the organized ideologies and interests we call parties."

^... a comment on the Novel.

I love Overboard, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, & Permanent Midnight. Midnight is about junk without resorting to the cliched junky. I can relate to it a lot more than most of the IV films I've seen. There is a real attention to detail in terms of how it depicts needle use, but it's more than your typical smack story.

Just watched a documentary called "Wallmart: The High Cost of Low Price". It's quite possibly the worst documentary I've ever seen. If this guy was making films seventy years ago, he would have been working for Hitler. It makes Michael Moore look like Switzerland.

21 Jump Street, I'm not a real fan of Jonah Hill as he gets boring but he was quite funny in this film.
 
Clockers (1995)




It was alright. Maybe it was the music in it, but it felt a little over dramaticized and the story seemed to drag a bit or at least the pacing felt off. Thought Harvey Keitel did a great job with his detective role.
 
The Thing (remake)

The creature is so highly evolved and physically capable, I don't believe that it developed the technology necessary for interstellar flight. Sharks don't need to build swords or guns. Technology, in it's early stages, is an extension of the survival instinct. As long as a species relies on technology, it no longer needs to rely on it's inherent physical abilities. There is no point in punching a deer to death when you can just shoot it in the head. The more technologically advanced the species, the weaker it becomes physically. We no longer need to climb trees or defend ourselves against predators. Technology allows us to be fat and lazy. Over time, we devolve physically; we lose abilities that we no longer require.

When scientists write science fiction, highly advanced alien species are - more often than not - relatively frail and physically vulnerable; they rely on weaponry to defend themselves. This makes sense.

The Thing is a fucking stupid film. I didn't like John Carpenter's version; and, the remake is worse. The aliens look like cheap Resident Evil monsters. Despite being technologically advanced enough to travel across the universe, they can't defend themselves against a flame thrower. Despite being smart enough to imitate the DNA, language, and emotional state of another species, they can't create an organic substance that resembles a tooth filling - or clip on an earring. Give me a fucking break.

It doesn't make any God damned sense that they'd both be extremely physically powerful and develop the technology to travel across the universe, without bringing a fucking laser gun. If they're powerless against fire, wouldn't they have developed some sort of armour or shield mechanism before building rocket ships? A bunch of civilians with a flame thrower or two shouldn't be able to beat an alien with long tentacles capable of mimicking DNA and interstellar travel. And why do the humans even have flame throwers and grenades? They're fucking scientists!

God damn horse fucking monkey shit eating son of a camel's hump with a bachelor degree in sodomizing tree frogs.
 
Fucking badger slapping vaginal fungus eating squirrel excrement derived from the semen of seventy syphilitic Seamen, who - lost at sea for thirty four years - resorted to raping sperm whales blowhole-style while reciting the Old Testament in Yiddish and smoking cigars made from dried yak testicles.

a nightmare on elm street (original).

every morning this week i will watch the next in the series. so lame and ridiculous, i loved this shit as a kid. good nostalgia.

the whole timing of that last sequence is so dumb.
chick calls dad to come wake her in 30 mins, manages to get to sleep in time, but not before sourcing material and setting up commando style booby traps throughout the house. no need to think you might kill your parents by accident, no way. hahahaha =D
