The Fan (5/10???). A weird character for DeNiro, they could have done a better job in developing his character's past, and it would have been a better movie.

Cannibal Holocaust
An amazing film. It's a shame many people won't watch it due to the animal killings.

Funny People.
Interesting watch. A bit on the long side. A few funny lines (mainly from Jonah Hill), but more of a dark comedy/drama. I enjoyed the subplot about the tv show "Yo Teach!". Acting not the greatest, but can't expect much for a Sandler film. Pleased with how it ended. Despite any flaws, I'd give it a 7/10.

Excellent film, brilliant piece of dark satire with a very sinister, violent side. Recommended for anyone who likes a good old chortle with a serious edge.
"Purgatory... it's the one in the middle, neither really good or really shit... like Tottenham. Do you believe in all that stuff?" "What, Tottenham?" "No, the afterlife and all that..."

I've been watching a bunch of films lately. This week I took 3 movies out of the library: - Papillon - Cigarettes and Coffee - Brazil
They were all pretty enjoyable. Papillon was a bit slow at times, but still a good watch. My brother recently picked up The Godfather trilogy, so we're going to watch the 1st one tonight. This may be strange for a guy who has been on this earth for 25 years, but I've never even seen The Godfather (any of them).

Just saw this in the theaters:
It was mediocre at best and the awful religious messages brought it down even more. I enjoy Christianity-based movies sometimes, but the entire premise hear was just plain stupid. "These people are complete lunatics - therefore I can assume that they are possessed by Satan and I can just 'pray it away' ". Waste of my money for sure.
I'd say a 3.5/10

Watched Salt and The American
salt was ok, had the whole neo-coldwar ish vibe to it, but the performances of the actors was lacking.
the american could have been an excellent movie, but the characters back-story was unclear, and the plot wasn't very appealing.
not really fond of either of them.

I guess some good starters for martial arts movies would be Bruce Lee films. The titling of the first few films differs in North America (titles in brackets)than from the rest of the world. Any one of The Big Boss (Fists of Fury), Fist of Fury (Chinese Connection), Way of the Dragon (Return of the Dragon), or Enter the Dragon are good watches. Avoid any other titles because there were lots of Bruce Lee clones that sprouted up after his death.
Jackie Chan has plenty of classic kung fu movies from the 1970s. He was even a stuntman in a few Bruce Lee movies. From his 70s stuff, Shaolin Wooden Men, Snake In Eagle's Shadow, Drunken Master, and Fearless Hyena are among my favorites. He had some cool action movies in the 80s that were more stunt based. I'd recommend Police Story and Project A. The great thing with many Jackie Chan movies is his blend of skill and technique with humor.
I own several Asian martial arts titles that are probably only for die-hard fans/collectors like me, but Eastern Condors jumps out as a cool, war-based Asian action movie starring Sammo Hung. Jimmy Wang Yu was a big star in the 70s too, and he has some nice movies.
If you're into over-the-top movies a bit on the gross side (understatement), check out Ricky Oh: The Story of Ricky. Very corny, but its a fun watch:

I picked up a ton of movies today (mostly on sale/clearance), and it will take me a while to make it through them. Most of them are action films because that's what I'm feeling lately (I re-watched Heat last night). Here's my movie entertainment for the next little while:
- Escape From New York 2-disc edition (for FREE!!!!) - Lethal Weapon (the only one I bought that I've seen) - Aliens - Charles Bronson Collection (Cold Sweat, Someone Behind the Door, Lola, and 10 episodes of Man With A Camera) - Breakheart Pass (more Bronson!!)

I have just seen Hunter Prey 8/10
It's a really well-made indie sci-fi film directed by Sandy Collora - the guy that made Batman Dead End. It's low budget, but more than makes up for the lack of budget through its gripping story & great actors. It reminds me of a good 70's sci-fi b-movie, and its simple but compelling story makes for a highly entertaining flick. The first ten minutes can be a bit tedious, but those who wait will be greatly rewarded. I watched it through netflix, so if you have that, you should head over and stream it right away.

I saw another warmovie/fable yesterday which i would rate 7,6/10, for several reasons which is to long to write here now, and I can't get enough of Russal Crowe with sword and Mail armor, I still wait on a midleage movie starring Russel Crowe and Hugh Jackman, that would be epic bearded movie.

yeah it was a strange version of Hood, but I thought it was played out well, but the name was misleading since it is not about Robin Hood, but Robin Longstrider before he became the Robin of the Hood, so yeah some chages like that and the plot seemd confused, and out of rythem, alitle rushed.
But I am weak for advenrure movies and series, so i can't complain to much also a Robin Hood movie is probably one of the most difficult movieconcepts to pull of, the source material is fragmentated, and it is not sure how real Robin was, is he a myth or is he a real but forgottem hero, what is he are to me very facinating, he is the greatres british hero after Arthur, (one could almost put Hood into the Arthurian legends, but that would be madness), so yeah im a nerd when it comes to british heros and love to watch Arthurian and Hoodian movies. but that is solely my opinion
and I did not rate the movie with more then 7, so it is not a top rated movie, (I stil hope for a precual)

I guess I should explain what the film's about.
It's a movie/documentary that explores the possibility of humanity's creation by intelligent design, or at least the idea of it being blacklisted by the scientific community. Eventhough the movie lumps sheds a negative light on those who dismiss intelligent design and whose beliefs are closer to Darwinism (making Nazi connections being a big one), I figure I'd give the movie a chance.

I just couldn't take it anymore. Maybe I'll try it in 2012.

I'm on the 3rd Season of Dexter. Probably the greatest drama series to ever be aired..

I watched The Machinist a few days ago. I'd definitely recommend it to those who haven't seen it. It's weird seeing Christian Bale so thin though.

I was really looking forward to that, but I thought it was terrible. I felt like it just went through the motions of being a psychological thriller then fell on its face.

Even better IMO:

For some reason I can't post images right now.

I watched "The French Connection" starring Gene Hackman. Pretty good. Not a great movie, but good.

Today I watched The Breakfast Club and Eraserhead. The Breakfast Club was great, and Eraserhead was one of the most mind f*** movies I've seen. I can't decide if it like it or hate it.

Another rental from the library: The Andromeda Strain
I enjoyed it. Solid suspense/sci-fi.
