Think twice before reading this. Why, you may ask yourself? Because before you take the 30 seconds or so it will take to read this, ask yourself, "Is this really what you want to be doing with half a minute of your life? How many half a minutes do you have left? Is this worth it? Did I leave the stove on?" And also as there was no sexual innuendo's, information about my height, weight, or favorite sexual position (Flying Praying Mantis in Reverse), in that first paragraph, that should have filtered out any pervy pedos that were surfing Flixter. Now that that's out of the way, welcome to my bitchin' page. Cheers |

Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno)
by JackHaving dazzled mainstream viewers with Blade 2 and Hellboy Mexican director Guillermo del Toro returns to his roots for this deeply impressive adult fairytale that rates as one of the best films of 2006.
Set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Pan's Labyrinth follows the fortunes of young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), as she travels with her pregnant mother (Ariadna Gil) to stay with her new stepfather Captain Vidal (Sergi López) at a remote outpost.
But while Vidal spends his days ruthlessly pursuing anti-fascist rebels in the woods, Ofelia discovers the entrance to a strange labyrinth in the forest and befriends a mystical faun named Pan (Doug Jones), who informs her that she is the rightful heir to his kingdom.
In order to regain her place, however, the young girl must complete a number of dangerous tasks.
But as the line between the two worlds blurs, Ofelia finds herself torn between caring for her sick mother and unborn brother and fulfilling her unusual quest.
Pan's Labyrinth derives its inspiration from a number of sources, including - most obviously - the Grimms' fairytales, Alice In Wonderland and some of the imagination of Jim Henson. But it also owes much to the work of Spanish painter Goya (in particular, his gory creation Saturn Devours His Children), the illustrations of the director's favourite Victorian illustrator, Arthur Rackham, and del Toro's earlier work such as Cronos and The Devil's Backbone.
As such, it's a very adult tale that features some truly disturbing imagery, a consistently melancholy tone and some extreme moments of violence. But it's an emotionally enriching experience that has some very important things to say for anyone willing to listen.
The depiction of the hell of war is particularly memorable and occupies a large part of proceedings, serving as a timely comment on some of today's human rights abuses as well as a reminder that monsters aren't merely confined to fantasy. Yet the triumph of the human spirit and man's capacity for bravery and sacrifice is just as effectively relayed via some of the actions of Ofelia and the rebels hiding in the woods.
The director draws some exemplary performances from his Spanish cast, with young Ivana Baquero providing a fearless presence as the determined Ofelia and López revelling in his role of evil incarnate.
The most striking thing about Pan's Labyrinth, however, is its look, which succeeds in mining the depths of del Toro's wonderfully vivid imagination. The film juxtaposes the ugly with the beautiful in exemplary fashion, creating a world that's fun to explore and impossible to forget.
Some of his creations, too, are incredibly striking, such as Pan himself, a horrific Pale Man (both played by Doug Jones) and an over-sized toad that Ofelia must confront and defeat as part of her journey.
All combine to create an experience that is truly unforgettable, a film that confronts the horror of war and fascism within the cleverly constructed confines of a fantasy adventure. It's bold, inspired filmmaking that deserves the maximum praise.My new favourite movie ever. I'm sure I said that with my last recommendation.

Death Race
by KhrisCarmageddon fans rejoice!!!!!! Our movie has arrived. And better this than some trashy game to movie adaptation.
There is a real clear cut story behind this which propels it pretty fast... everyone's favourite non-hollywood star Jason Statham does it again with this steel tough thriller. Alongside a cast which also happens to have some of the nastiest prison figures you'll see on the screen.
Of course, you watch this baby for the thrills and spills!!! this is hardcore action baby!!! I never enjoyed a driving movie as much as this in a long while, and it delivers.
Buckle your seat belt and hold on to your hats for this one folkes!! Its a killer.

Pump up the Volume
by KhrisThis was an excellent movie!!!!!
The ultimate teenage rebellion, angst and outspoken movie ever. Forget American Pie and all those other poser teen movies, this is the definitive rebel yell from one of the most rebellious Hollywood stars.
You have to love the soundtrack to the movie, it rocks hardcore. And so does the local pirate DJ, who happens to be a discreet, shy teen suffering in the prison which his life has become, and opens his mind and attitude to others in a literal "call to arms" to take back their lives, their identity, against a totalitarian school bent on eradicating their very souls.
Its a hard hitting, yet funny look at the repressed teens of our society and the unity of kids against their school, parents and government for limiting them, turning them into the opposites of what they really feel, what they really want.
Cause in the end, as the message goes, to be a teenager, to have a life, to have your own mind, to have an open minded education, to have the ability to think for yourself.... its a God given right to be YOU.
ENJOY!TALK HARD!!!

Lat sau san taam (Hard-Boiled)
by KhrisOne of the best bloody shoot em ups ever made. John Woo's final HK film before moving to Hollywood is rated in nearly every top 10 list of action movies. Its easy to see why most of Woo's Hollywood projects seem very tame after watching his HK flicks... and his golden boy, Chow Yun Fat is the best at what he does. With Style and vengeance.
But behind this all out warzone of a flick is a good story and issues of the fine line between good cop and bad cop, paired by Fat and Tony Leung. After Detective Tequila witnesses his partner being killed, he starts an all out war with the smuggling ring and gangsters responsible for the death.. until he realises that one of them is an undercover agent, tasked with finding out the location of a secret arms cache.
This movie is divided into these parts: The tea house shoot-out, the warehouse war, the dock shoot-out and the final Hospital Armageddon. All throughout is Woo's trademark action scenes, all original and all copied by others. XD
It great to see the gun ballet at its best, and the violence is very convincing... as well as the hospital paitents dilemma and the babies taken hostage!!
Its been a long while since I got my own copy of this... and any true action lover wont certaintly give this a miss if they know whats good for them!!I guess there was more bullets in this movie than dollars spent making it.

The Dark Knight
by Jack"The Dark Knight" is pure adrenaline. Returning director Christopher Nolan, having dispensed with his introspective, moody origin story, now puts the Caped Crusader through a decathlon of explosions, vehicle flips, hand-to-hand combat, midair rescues and pulse-pounding suspense.
Nolan is one of our smarter directors. He builds movies around ideas and characters, and "Dark Knight" is no exception. The ideas here are not new to the movie world of cops and criminal, but in the context of a comic book movie, they ring out with startling clarity. In other words, you expect moralistic underpinnings in a Martin Scorsese movie; in a Batman movie, they hit home with renewed vigor.
None of this artistic achievement denies the re-energized Warner Bros./DC Comics franchise its commercial muscle. Those bags of money in the movie's opening bank heist are nothing compared with the worldwide boxoffice haul "Dark Knight" will take from theaters. Repeat viewings are a certainty.
Repeat viewings might also be a necessity. That adrenaline rush comes at a cost: With the film's race-car pace, noise levels, throbbing music and density of stratagems, no one will follow all the plot points at first glance. Not that the story with its double crosses and ingenious plans isn't clear, but to enjoy the full glory of these urban battlefield strategies, multiple viewings are required.
"Dark Knight" revolves around notions of the yin and yang between Hero and Villain and of those gray areas where social conscience and individuality collide. Thinking logically, Nolan and his co-writer/brother Jonathan, working from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer, imagine that the heroism of Bruce Wayne's Batman (a returning Christian Bale) is a double-edged sword. Cleaning up the streets of Gotham City turns the crime cartels into an even more dangerous beast that, once cornered, resorts to its own doomsday machine: the maniacally clever and criminally amoral Joker (the late Heath Ledger). And vigilante justice is nonetheless "justice" from outside the law. So who or what polices him?
Running for cover, the mob head (Eric Roberts) first takes refuge with a Hong Kong crime mogul (Chin Han). Then when Batman takes him down, he and his fellow mobsters hold their noses and in desperation settle on a man who knows no rules and plays everyone against one another. The Joker relishes the assignment precisely because of his "admiration" for the Dark Knight. In one key confrontation, the Joker purrs to Batman, like a bride to a groom, "You complete me." The criminal clown, his makeup designed to emphasize his facial deformations, sees in a man dressed up in a bat suit "a freak like me."
Seemingly on the side of good are the city's White Knight, District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart); his girlfriend/Assistant DA Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) -- and, if you recall from "Batman Begins," Bruce Wayne's longtime love -- and police Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman). But loyalties are easily dislodged by threats or money. The Joker's true purpose, besides amusing himself trying to outwit Batman, is to see if he can "turn" the White Knight to his dark side.
One wishes Nolan had cast a different actor than Eckhart as this White Knight. Although very good at playing duplicitousness and irony -- witness "Thank You for Smoking" -- Eckhart never quite seems the crusader presumably intended.
The Joker, though, sees everyone as two-faced, even Batman, in his estimation. When confronted by pure evil -- and there is a kind of purity to the Joker's rule of no rules -- what can a vigilante do but violate his own moral code? The Joker means to push Batman beyond those limits.
With six major action sequences shot with Imax cameras, Nolan pushes his own cinematic envelope. If the action in "Batman Begins" received ho-hum reviews in some quarters, this won't happen with "Dark Knight." Batman flies around the skyscrapers of Gotham and Hong Kong, rips through any number of villains with his martial arts, tears through streets in his armor-clad, two-wheeled Bat-Pod and has more tech backup than James Bond. While all modern movie action is visual-effects driven, the stunt work in "Dark Knight" looks like it's happening on the streets and not in a computer.
Bale again brilliantly personifies all the deep traumas and misgivings of Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne. A bit of Hamlet is in this Batman. Ledger's performance is a beauty. His Joker has a slow cadence of speech, as if weighing words for maximum mischief and contempt. He moves languidly as if to savor his dark deeds, his head and body jerking at times from an overload of brain impulses.
Michael Caine's butler extraordinaire, Alfred, and Morgan Freeman's scientific genius, Lucius, have settled into their dutiful roles as oases of the expected when all else is unexpected. Gyllenhaal is not exactly wasted, but she can't do much with a tissue-thin heroine. Oldman as the all-too-human cop is a quiet triumph in superb character acting.Not a masterpiece, but it still goes to the top of my favourite movies.
So yeah, you should really see this.posted 38 days ago -

The Towering Inferno
by JackHot off the heels of the success of "The Poseidon Adventure," producer Irwin Allen chose to follow up that seaworthy disaster epic with yet another excursion in peril: "The Towering Inferno", which went on to become an even bigger box office success than its predecessor, and remains to this day one of the most suspenseful and potent thrillers ever to come from a Hollywood studio. Much like the circumstances surrounding the Titanic disaster, those which enshroud the sudden and deadly fire that engulfs the newly-built Glass Tower in San Francisco stem from one thing: human arrogance. The building's owner (William Holden) is convinced that nothing can bring his structure to its knees, despite the knowledge that his son-in-law (Richard Chamberlain) was behind the decision to use faulty electrical wiring. Even with the warnings of the tower's chief architect (Paul Newman), who takes every opportunity to advise against holding off the dedication ceremony until a later date, the gala still goes on as planned, resulting in the entrapment of hundreds of people 135 stories up, with the flames chewing up their precious little time for a rescue effort.
Running at a broad two-and-a-half hours, John Guillerman's technically brilliant ode to the hubris of mankind is a spectacle that, like smoke, literally takes one's breath away with a stunning array of tightly-knit action sequences marked by escalating tension and unbearable suspense. Even when compared to today's more modern methods of special effects wizardry, the visuals that unfold within "The Towering Inferno" still manage to strike a nerve with full vigor. A vast collection of characters played by an ensemble cast to die for leaves room for speculation about who will and won't make it through the night; some deaths will surprise you, as will some of the survivals. Although there are times when character development seems a bit scant, the sheer intensity of it all more than makes up for any lapses we may come across. And a line found at the end of the film still manages to retain resonance in this post-September 11th nation of ours: looking up at the smoldering ruins of the tower, Steve McQueen's fire chief remarks, "One of these days, they're going to kill 10,000 in one of these firetraps." If only we knew now what he knew then.Hey, you should really see this!

Street Kings
by KhrisWith an interesting cast and hardcore performances comes a good cop thriller that nearly feels realistic.
There is nothing moral or politically correct about this movie... its all about being a bad ass, corruption and loyalty to your fellow officers. But what happens if you fall in so deep, while being an alcoholic and having the rep of being the most violent cop on town, with Internal Affairs breathing down your back.... what do you do?? Especially when you are implicated in your old partner's brutal assassination. Especially when your old partner was ratting you out to Internal Affairs. Thats motive, mate.
Anyways, welcome to the dark side of law enforcement. Even when the scenes are during the day, it still feels like it is dark as night... or dark as evil. We once again see the lines between law and justice blurred with illegality, meet cops who are experts are walking the tightrope of corruption.
Im not a Keanu Reeves fan, but he did OKAY in the movie. But its most probably because I liked the whole idea of the movie itself. The other cast of course are excellent, from Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie (HOUSE! XD) and surprisingly, Chris Evans, whom I usually think is just another short stripping wannabe, but he may have some talent after all.
Anyways, the movie is not too brutal, a bit graphic, but we've seen much worse. Also, I don't think its been pushed as far as it could have gone. This movie had so much potential... but its flawed. It comes on hard... then backs off as if the Director was scared to go over the edge. It doesn't finish real well, which is disappointing and nothing really stands out. Except for the fact that this is a really dirty cop movie, which is the reason I'm drawn to it.
Its a movie that made a big splash when it came out, due to minimal but effective marketing but will (probably already has), disappeared into the wilderness of Hollywood movies that come and go.
Watch it once, and then it automatically leaves your mind the next day.Welcome to the Dark Side.... of policing!

Secret Window
by JackDepp is definitely the highlight of the movie, which is good since he's the character the movie revolves around. He creates Rainey just as completely as he created Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. In interacting with his ex-wife (Maria Bello) we can see the pain and the love he still holds for her. Rainey's spats with her boyfriend Ted (Timothy Hutton) show his anger. Yet none of that holds a candle to his conversations with himself. Rainey spends at least a third of the film alone, but we never feel that he's isolated. Out-of-nowhere quips and commentary about the situations Rainey finds himself in provide real depth to Rainey as a struggling writer. That is where the real genius of Depp's work on this character comes from.
Playing the nemesis to Rainey is John Turturro, hidden in the character of John Shooter, a farmer from Mississippi who claims Rainey stole his story and released it as a short entitled "Secret Window". Shooter gives a deadline for Rainey to prove he wrote it first and warns him to keep the subject just between the two of them. When Rainey fails to do so, Shooter becomes calmly psychotic, taking action to keep Rainey where he wants him, but always with a self-justified demeanor when appearing on screen. He presents himself as a man who is confident that he is right and will go to any lengths to show that he has been wronged, including eliminating Rainey's entire world if that's what it takes. His dedication becomes more frightening as the movie evolves, especially as he warns Rainey to be careful in proving him wrong, because if he is wrong, then he must be crazy, and as a crazy man he might really be dangerous.
Writer/Director David Koepp (writer of Spider-Man and Jurassic Park and director of Stir of Echoes) does an excellent job of bringing Secret Window to the screen. On the writing side he has taken a short story by Stephen King and created a strong and suspenseful plot, highlighted by complete and memorable characters as a solid base for his actors to work with. On the directorial side, he understands how a psychological thriller should work and makes his movie follow those rules. The movie builds just as a story of this type should and the audience is never ahead of the movie. To ensure this, the movie holds a Shyamalan-size twist that I won't even hint at, but that makes perfect sense as it's revealed.
Secret Window is a fantastic foray into the front of psychological thrillers, a front that too many movies fail in attempting. With Koepp's storytelling and Depp's ingenious acting abilities, this is a film that will keep audiences interested and on the edge of their seats as the story unfolds.Hey, you should really see this!

Felon
by KhrisThis is an excellent piece of drama, which delves into the skewered world of the legal and penal system. Injustice is rife... emotions and humanity is nil. I guess this is one of the best prison movies you will ever see.
Honestly, it is a dark, sad tale of our system failing an honest man and his family. And when he serves his sentence, we see how his life is torn apart over and over again... to breaking point. Along the way, he befriends a "lifer" who schools him in the way of prison life and the rules to survive in the pen. One a hardened con with no chance, another grasping at the last straws of hope and humanity... before the corrupt prison guards and the other cons turn him into an animal with a number.
Im a student of criminology and the legal system, and have strong views on punishment. This is a great example of the system corrupt, humanity, honesty and morality lost on both sides of the law. It makes you wonder how can we live in a society when we fail those who fall wayward of our rules, so that they do not learn, they do not accept responsibility, they do not repent? And of course, what happens when the people we entrust to uphold our laws and serve us and the inmates, fail at their duty?
It is said that our society can be judged and evaluated according to how we run our prisons. Obviously this is not a 100% accurate view of our prisons... but Im sure that its not far off. Which kinda makes me very nervous.
I am a big Dorff and Kilmer fan, both have my respects as great actors, very underrated. They noth are all class and talent, thats why they make movies like this. Their performances were great. Kilmer stole the show as the devastated, cold, brutal Smith, a man with no future, forever indebted to serve his time and suffer a great emotional injustice... which is not recieving the death penalty so that he can reunite with his dead family. A philosopher and mentor, respected and feared by his peers, Kilmer is excellent (though he has aged terribly)
Anyways, its hardcore raw film-making. Handheld cameras are used a lot, but I thought it gave it a realistic effect to the whole nature of the movie. It picked up pace real quick in the beginning, and moves fast, so its not boring at all. It does explore the nature of being human, a criminal, and our conceptions of justice and law... and then simply, what is right or wrong. Halfway through, it became simpler, and I guess this enabled it to finish strongly with a happy ending.
Remember, this is just a story, but as we had Prison Break on TV purely for entertainment, Felon is entertaining but also wakes us up and makes us see and feel what men go through in prison, how life is drastically different to our world.
Two thumbs up. Enjoy!Hey, you should really see this!

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2)
by KhrisEveryone's favourite, cigar smoking, horned. giant red monkey is back!
XD
Im a big Guilmero Del Toro fan, and after the huge success and the painstaking effort of Pan's Labyrinth, its good to see him kick back and make something more enjoyable to the masses....
I firmly believed the original Hellboy movie to be one of the best comic to movie adaptations ever. As far as sequels go, tits more looser, funnier and enjoyable. I guess because of its outlandish idea and the great background story makes this work... plus the fact its enjoyable and it comes through the performances of the stars and the overall movie itself. Its not as great as the first... but its a definite keeper.
I mean come on, Hellboy and Sabian getting drunk and singing "Can't Live without you" together... this is purely entertainment value and it doesn't fails... it has its dramatic bits, while serving up some traditional whoop ass.
Of course, Del Toro's costumes and graphic designs are the key players... and its awesome. Jim Henson has nothing on him when it comes to the abnormal.
Anyways, for me, the movie works. The right amount of thrills, kills and monster costumes... some were laughable, but they looked real good. The music was good, atmospheric and worked well. The stunts and action were top notch.... see it for yourself.
Anyways, the only thing was the story did drag in a few places, but thats the way it is. And I'm glad that Del Toro left the movie open for a possible sequel.... the destiny of Hellboy is still in doubt, plus that other "little" surprises. XD
Anyways, what made me give it four stars? Pretty much I dont mind watching this again. Its got good rewatch value, its definitely not boring for 90% of the time.
Enjoy!Hellboy rocks!!!

The Matador
by Jack"The Matador" is a simple, straightforward film that breaks down into two acts, Julian and Greg in Mexico City, and Julian, Greg, and Greg's wife Bean (Hope Davis) in Denver 6 months later. The ending and resolution to Julian's problems are not really all that important, because the film is about the interaction between the film's primary characters played by Kinnear and Brosnan. The two men do great work, first in their awkward meeting in the hotel lobby bar, then later during a lengthy sequence where Julian teaches Danny the tricks of the trade, namely how to set up, and then take out, the target. "The Matador" is essentially a 3-person play with Julian, Danny, and later on, Bean.
Sold as a comedy, "The Matador" isn't laugh out loud funny enough to be called funny. The more appropriate description might be amusing. There aren't any major punch lines to be had, and although the film elicits a few chuckles here and there, it's really not written by Shepard as a "hijinks ensue" type of movie. And unlike Cusack's "Grosse Pointe Blank", Shepard's movie is almost completely devoid of action. We see Julian take aim with his weapons throughout the movie, but there is never any blood shown onscreen. In fact, the whole profession of assassination is treated like just another job to be performed by someone with a low morale threshold. As with "Grosse Pointe", "The Matador's" best moments involve people reacting casually to Julian's profession, as if they stumble across international assassins at least once a week.
"The Matador" is worth watching just to see Pierce Brosnan dump his suave 007 persona for a character that is rather despicable, although despicable and affable at the same time, if such a thing is possible. Julian likes his women young, his liquor doubled, and his sex paid for. Yet, despite his many, many scruples (he readily admits he's a prick), when offered a job to kill someone, he refuses for the client's sake. As the Ned Flanders to Julian's Homer Simpson, Greg Kinnear does a fine job, but it's nothing he hasn't done in other movies. As such, Kinnear's Danny doesn't quite stand out as much as Brosnan's Julian, and I suspect that's why Brosnan chose the role in the first place. It allows him to stretch, to show his comedic flair, and who better than straight-laced Greg Kinnear to play against?
"The Matador" isn't a great movie, which may seem like a strange thing to say after all the time I've spent in this review praising Brosnan and Kinnear's performances. To be sure, the rapport between the two men is undeniable and is really what makes the film as worthwhile as it is. The same with Hope Davis, who easily steals the show when her character gets more than a cameo appearance in the second half. Still, there's this nagging feeling that "The Matador" is a retread, and the film never really manages to convince otherwise. Plus, the fact that it's a movie about a hitman, and there are no action scenes whatsoever, is somewhat disappointing.Not worth watching.

The Godfather, Part II
by KhrisCertainly the only movie to match or even better its predecessor.
The Godfather 2 carries on after the Five Families War, and the Corleones are now unchallengeable and control all the gmabling in the US, their home base in Nevada. Michael Corleone is trying to legitimise his family and power, but the dark underworld begins to pull him back in, and soon he is forced to unleash the the full force of his power and tactical genius inherited from his famous father. But the bloody war in the underworld is only half the problem, as Michael struggles to also save his family from destruction, and makes the most damaging choices of his life that will haunt him forever.
Through the movie, we flash back to the early 1900's, we see Vito Andolini arrive in the US and become the legendary Vito Corleone, the GODFATHER, and his rise to power and quest for revenge against the Don responsible for his family's death. Struggling in the streets as a child and growing up with his best friend Genco Abandando, young Vito meets and befriends the young Clemenza and Tessio and all together, they form a friendship and Family that will become the most powerful Family in the United States.
Anyways... .what can I say?? Pure brilliance. I managed to get the Coppola Restoration box set, and the experience is...... unimaginably perfect. I cannot stress how GOOD this new box set is compared to the predecessors. It is without a doubt, the DVD collection of all time.
Certainly the movies to watch before you die.The Coppola Restoration Box Set. A Must Have. If there is anything you want for Xmas, get this instead.
