Saw Suicide Squad last night and it's.......shit. Margot Robbie was great as Harley but when the actors are given one of the worst scripts and story I've seen in ages you have to feel for them. 3/10

while it wont win any awards for breaking now ground, and doesn't tax you at all, and is full of unattractive english folks weech tork loik thees yaeh? yuw deeg guv? vay ees straigh' stree' fuggs loik, eenit.
what allowed this movie to survive my reviewing was all in the execution. it was artfully cut, well filmed and pretty true to the vibe of the thing, yeah? actors act-ored and filmers film-ered and the result is a watchable hour n a half of ugly poms speaking poorly and hitting each other.
7.5/10

"channellling the Pleideans"
GIMME DANGER - Jim JArmush's documentary on The Stooges. If you like music, go see it. You're welcome. 10/10
SUBURRA - blimey. Italian Mafia film. Very good indeed 9/10
KRIGEN (A war) Danish soldiers in Afghanistan and some bad shit that went down. Danes dont do comedy. Very good 9/10
GREEN ROOM: Kinda CABIN IN THE WOODS-y in tone. Anton Yelchin is brilliant. Patrick Stewart as you have never seen or imagined him before. Brilliant. 9/10
They're my film festival highlights.

Jason Bourne was fairly good.
Riot squad vehicle seemed to be made by Knight Industries 2000 though. It managed to destroy everything without getting hurt.

He Never Died.
Odd wee film, quite low key, clearly tight on budget. Henry Rollins anchors the whole thing rather well as the main character, a slightly dishevelled man named Jack.
Jack lives a very quiet life. Keeps to himself, doesn't like company. He sleeps a lot, goes to a diner regularly, walks the streets of an urban area somewhere in the United States, and for some odd reason he likes to pop in to his local church. Oh, and he meets an intern wearing scrubs semi-regularly and purchases well-wrapped parcels out of the intern's car boot. He's a man of very few words.
Everything is quiet - the way Jack likes it - until a young woman comes looking for him. Shortly after her, a couple of young men come knocking at Jack's door looking for the intern, and then it all goes to hell, for everybody...
It's billed as a comedy horror. It's light on the horror element, the comedy is infrequent, absolutely deadpan, and sometimes hilarious, but where this movie really works is as a depiction of just what it could mean to be immortal.
It avoids the usual mistakes found in indie films. There's no dead time, no long, moody shots with nobody talking. Scenes get straight to the point. Every shot is tight, with nothing in frame that isn't needed.
Unfortunately that very tight cinematography is the movie's greatest weakness. The locations just don't feel connected to each other. There's never a wider sense of the city itself, or of characters moving from one location to another.
There's also an awful lot of generic going on in this movie. Locations, bad guys, incidental characters... too many of them are cookie-cutter stampouts. The same goes for most of the dialogue, unfortunately. If the movie was a bit more specific, a bit more grounded, it'd make much more of an impact.
Very original take on the jaded immortal storyline, though.
Good but not great low-key alternative fare. Best for a night in when you want something that isn't mainstream studio stuff. 6.5 / 10.

the slamin salmon.
a hard topic. for sure. doesn't even compare to 'waiting', bang for buck wise.
hard to get mileage out of a shitty premise. has many giggles, but unfortunately they felt the need to intersperse them through an hour of dross.
if you want absolutely nothing out of a flick, this will do.
squarely average. square.
5/10

primer
i will be watching this again. it's poorly filmed (follows 2-4 aspies who wear probably the only suits they own for the whole movie and they're often talking over one another - like, it was filmed by them too) but it's a good, if obfuscated, plot.
it was literally produced for $7000 (so i may have to forgive the lack of wardrobe)
is intriguing if nothing else. no special effects, no car chases, shootouts or nakked women.
an a first watching it's 6/10, and i'd recomend everyone to watch it at least once.
parker
Jason statham (w00t) and J-lo (bless her fine, fine box. srsly, i don't know how old she is but she is fit)
sounds good yeah?
for TWO HOURS.
not so much eh?
it is what it is and being statham, that's all it is. they've just padded it with a few spare families.
mmmmmeeeeehhhhhh 7.5/10
the apparition
spare me.
watched it.
3/10

I'm not sure if i was waaaaaaaaysted the first time i saw this, or whether i refused to watch it on principle (principle being that the first one is the best movie ever and i didn't want to ruin it)
but ruin it did not!
i don't think it has the finesse (and obviously not the originality) of the first, and they overplay the shootey bits (like, heaps more) and while it's obviously linked to the first, it could be a stand alone movie without you missing anything. Ginga McTits would be worth a nudge too.
nothing else really needs to be said. you wont regret watching it. if you do your probably an asshole. (not jin suitable, contains men, and women who aren't related to him)
9/10
Kruger-Dunning Parts n Service
Tucker and Dale vs Evil.... 10/10 funny as f#$^
