japanese vampire action packed horror flick. theres this kid akira and his brother been missing for 2 years. then he finds out that heres in this mysterious island full of vampires, so akira and his friends goes there to find him. movie was pretty cool, i liked the action scenes n cgi blood showers, but at some points it was kinda boring and maybe 15-30 minutes too long. cut all the crappy drama bullshit and you got better movie 3/5
Haven't posted much lately but I've watched a ton of movies, this being the most recent. I'll probbaly get to some of the other ones that I feel were worth noting.
I turned the television on to listen to something while getting ready for work and this movie was showing. It was about 10 minutes in and it was at a particular scene where Giamatti's character was sitting at a table outside with a few of his friends in Rome, Italy. They were smoking peculiar-looking cigars and ciggarettes and just bullshitting with each other. I don't know what it was but I stopped and was immediately drawn in. Thought about it while I was at work and when I came home and went right to finding it via on-demand (Starz).
To the point- However much I may praise this movie there is one thing you must take into account - it takes an aquired taste. There is little to no action, and tons of melodrama. The movie takes 30 years of the life of a alcoholic Jewish man (Paul Giamatti) and condenses it into just over two hours. And in this attempt I feel they triumphed. It follows him through his lifes endeavors all the way up to his impending death. You may or may not find his endeavors to be fascinating, but they do a fantastic job of depicting each event, ultimately removing the feeling that you are even watching a movie. The best way I can describe the film is to say that it is very, very interesting, and very emotional. It moves slowly almost throughout but for the most part you never really notice. The criticism is that the storyline, for the most part, is rather subpar. Again, it is the manner in which they were able to portray his life on film that is worthwhile, not necessarily the events. I don't know how else to describe it nor can I think of any similar films with which to compare it. Great acting, great cast, awesome ending, etc.
7.8/10 (iMDB: 7.3 - RT: 80%)

Wouldn't watch it again, pretty hokey and not particularly interesting. Cinematography was alright I guess. It felt like to make it reach a larger audience, they dumbed it down a lot more than his earlier work. 5/10
The Skin I Live In
This is a movie from Spain starring Antonio Banderas. All I'm going to say is it had a pretty fucking crazy twist and it was worth the watch. 7.5/10

s&m movie with gore. there was some cool gore scenes, but everything else was really stupid. but if movie is about s&m theatre, it sadistic owner master sardy and his midget sidekick, white slavery and weird shit, what you really can expect? i think necro said this is his alltime favorite movie and there was couple scenes straight jacked from blood sucking freaks in his white slavery video
5/10
I Melt with You
Thomas Jane
Jeremy Piven
Rob Lowe
Christian McKay
holy shit this movie was gay. about some over 40 year old friends who get together and get drunk/high every year. Was on some emo, mid-life crisis type shit. kept waiting for a plot twist, nothing ever came so I turned it off a bit past the mid way point. Maybe a decent flick if you're a 40 something year old man wondering why your life sucks, otherwise it's probably not for you. Didn't rate since I didn't finish (maybe the ending was amazing??)
Contagion
Matt Damon
Morpheus
Kate Winslet
Jude Law
Gwyneth Paltrow
Shit was alright. Obviously it's about a global deadly disease. Nothing too special, worth the watch I guess. Some good acting, plot wasn't too surprising. Not sure what else to say. 5.5/10.

just got done watching Warrior. i thought it was a great movie with very good acting and very believable fights (besides the slams). Nick Nolte stole it for me though. the scene where Tom Hardy throws his coins at him made me realize that Nolte might come away with best supporting actor from the Oscars this year. If you're a fan of fighting, dramas, great acting, great story then i recommend it. 9/10
also if you want to see this ignore the blu-ray cover of this movie since it ruins the ending.
