| Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - PG-13 |
THOSE 3.5 STARS are just for the special effects .... what an amazing piece of art.
The film, the characters, the plot, the dialogue, the gah, all of it was total SHITE - I have no idea what I've just seen or why (apart from that it was very pretty indeed). Ass, HOLLYWOOD has killed the film. Like the NEW WORLD ORDER will kill all of humanity in 2010 - those corporate fucker idiots. |

| Robots - PG | I simply can't believe how exceedingly well this is animated and all the work that went into the rigging of the characters and the worlds. Dominoes! As for the story, meh, but the tech = WOW. | November 30, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Watchmen - R |
you know that phrase, "Well that's two hours of my life I'll never get back"? applie to the WATCHMEN movie from the director of 300. I think one of the good things was the lack of dialogue in 300, and what dialogue there was just got all the main characters into a fight. There's a similar sorta mechanic going on here but there's just something broken about it all.
First of all, get to the fucking point already. Flipping backwards and forwards in time like it's some introductory nostalgia trip for a franchise that's never gonna be is a) counter-productive and b) b.o.r.i.n.g. B O R I N G Second the dialogue is straight out of some datyime TV soap or something. It's overlit, like any good plotless porn film. Yeah, WATCHMEN is a porn film in as much as any 3D game on XBOX360 or PS3 or your PC is a porn film. You've got no fucking story apaprt from a few cliched narrative arcs. You don't give a shit about anyone or anything passing before your eyes. It's rendered up to the tits with shiny stuff and explodey stuff and HOLLYWOOD thinks that's all THE PAYING CUSTOMER deserves(!) Sorry, pal, you support this sort of jaded (over-corporatised) cliched film making, you're paying for the DEATH OF CINEMA and the DEATH OF PEOPLE THINKING and the DEATH OF ALL PURPOSEFUL CREATIVITY. Yeah, but Mike, you're hammering at your screen, it's about the Illuminati (all be it a blue-ish one) it's about the 9-11 sacrifice for the common good and the introduction of the Neue Welt Ordnung (I use the Germanic because that's when Hard Nazism became Soft Corporatism). But it's not. It's just shit. A garbage piece of dog poo. A really shit film you can shine and shine and shine with any amount of ambivalent slave labour and it's still gonna just be a turd of a project from start to finish. A heartless piece of commercial cinema. I pity those talented folk who had to 'make the best of' this totally shit material. |

| Caravaggio - R |
Recently watched this film again AFTER TWENTY YEARS and as shown by the amazing Amadeus, A Beautiful Mind and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, not all the biographical (or fashionable) details need to be tediously in place for it to be a great biopic.
Rent (or download) this tale from Derek Jarman, starring a young Dexter Fletcher. Lighting, cinematography, acting, direction - all superb. |

| The Obama Deception - Unrated | yup, this certainly exposes the Globalist Agenda and the Left/Right Paradigm ... look out for the follow-up FALL OF THE REPUBLIC, coming end October 2009 | September 3, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The International - R | really enjoyable/believable. | August 18, 2009 | N/A | |||

| Eagle Eye - PG-13 | you like super-paranoid action thrillers with a twist - you're gonna love this film. I did. Fast paced, characterful and charismatic this beauty is about as close to Predictive Programming as you'll get. | August 11, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Cloverfield - PG-13 | it gets all its three stars for graphical embedding alone - not for narrative (there was none) not for plot (there was none) not for dialogue (there was none) not for emapthy with any of the characters (there was none). Just as a post-production trailer, that shows how good Visual FX have got these days, as a demoreel for that, it gets 3 out of 5 stars. Amazing embedded realism. Not even a funfare ride as it wasn't THAT exciting. I'd might as well give any camera-matching 3D software 3 out of 5. And I will. | August 6, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror) - R | what a waste of everyone's time. | August 4, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear - Unrated |
...and nobody listened.

| Southland Tales - R |
five out of five, it's a total mess - and it's got Justin Timberlake all through it like the word BLACKPOOL through a stick of rock.
and knowing all this, you STILL have to watch it - why? because if you don't you'll never wake up again. |

| Tôkyô Sonata (Tokyo Sonata) - PG-13 |
harrowing? yes, in a way only Japanese films seem to be these days.
touching, absolutely - I guarantee not a dry eye in the house. :) |

| The Manchurian Candidate - R |
a fun film with plenty of twists and plenty of intrigue for those in the world BELIEVE THAT SHIT.

| Come and See (Idi i smotri) - Unrated | yep, this is about as authentic a war movie as you're gonna get - too harrowing for Hollywood, some great cinematography and a stunning audio treatment. | May 23, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Day the Earth Stood Still - PG-13 | man, it wasn't that bad and KlaatuKeanu was okay, Gort was sweet - but a very strange hands-off apocalyptic adventure with far too many blatant allegoric overtones to allow me to rate it any higher. | May 20, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Stargate - PG-13 | I may be having a bit of a 90's moment here but for leave-your-brain-at-home fun for all the sci-fi/history nutheads in your family Stargate is hard to beat. | May 18, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Society - R |
the script is lame.
the acting is shit. the direction a bit weak. officially disowned by its production company. the budget all went on the special effects which were some of the most gloriously insane sexual imagery this reviewer's ever witnessed. Should have won a Most Perverse SFX award for 1989. The opening scene will live long in my mind. |

| The Broken - R | meh, not bad - felt like the third act was missing, or it would have received a further star-and-a-half from this appreciative reviewer. | May 9, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Ne le Dis à Personne (Tell No One) - Unrated | not a brilliant movie but a gorgeously gritty one - don't expect this to be some sort of Bourne Identity spy thriller, it's not. But it does show how a normal person can get embroiled in super-insane machinations. The actor reminded me a LOT of Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man, "Is it safe?"

| Twilight - PG-13 |
bit ... meh ... just shittty.
nothing too narratively abusive, just ... meh. |

| Van Gogh - R | a brilliant Van Gogh movie. Why? Well, it's because this movie (more than any Impressionist period piece I've watched) really captures the easy morality of the time. Far exceeds the over-dramatic and contrived Kirk Douglas effort of Hollywood to capture 'the life of the artist'. Superbly realised and believable. | March 14, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Alien 3 - R | the director's cut is DEFINITELY better than the tosh that was released. Pity the Company Franchise didn't end with three and we had to undure the travesty that was four. Three ended the series. Period. | March 14, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Three Colors: White (Trzy kolory: Bialy) - R | don't call this humour - call it something like Polish humour and I never wanna go there - call it dark humour or grave humour and you're closer to the truth of what Kieslowski humour is. Kieslowski humour is ANTI HUMOUR, it's staring in the face of death and laughing when the gun misfires, it's that life is only worth living when you're head's being kicked in. Again, a Hollywood version of this subject matter would end with the Rolling Stones ditty, "You can't always git what you want" and win an Oscar. Great film, onward towards RED. | March 6, 2009 | N/A |
