I really liked 3:10 To Yuma. I thought it was the best western movie since Unforgiven. Equilibrium on deck
Dylan Dog: Dead of Night
A comic book property that was very odd, but surprisingly good. There's something about Brandon Routh's voice in the film that I didn't like, though. It's almost like every one of his lines were dubbed. While other actors in the scene sounded like their voices were natural to their surroundings, his sounded like he recorded it in a sound booth and was edited back into the film.
The concept of the film is pretty cool, though, and given that this film didn't make a ton of money, the special effects were great except for the werewolf makeup. I'm pretty critical of werewolf FX, so don't hold much weight in my opinion.
The movie had zombies, vampires, werewolves, Peter Stormare, and a funny sidekick. Pretty good stuff.
3.5/5

John Carter
I thought it was somewhat similar to Avatar. It was visually awesome but had a pretty mediocre storyline. Reportedly the 4th most expensive film ever made & a huge flop at the box office (not that that matters). Still worth seeing. 6.5/10
Safe House starring Denzel Washington & Ryan Reynolds
Slightly above-average action movie. Denzel played the "good guy/bad guy" role very well, as usual. It was worth seeing but I probably wouldn't watch it again. 6/10

The Raid: Redemption
My kind of action movie you get pulled into it from the very first minute. I'll keep it short so I won't give out any spoilers so heres the trailer-

i bought the godfather coppola restoration blu-ray set, watched 1 and 2 this morning. man those movies kick so much ass lol, especially the first one. love those movies and the restoration is awesome. its not like super sharp you can see the pores in peoples face quality but watching it was like watching it in the theaters, it was a true cinematic experience, the way its supposed to be watched. going to watch 3 when i get off work
i havent finished the session by watching 3 yet, i havent seen the movies in quite awhile so i needed some time to let it marinate after a 6 1/2 hour session of I & II lol.
somethings that are really resonating with me right now was how different the first movie was from the second, and how much michael has changed during that time. it seems in the first movie he killed the corrupt police chief and sollozo out of necessity. he wasnt neccessarily an evil man at that time, just a family man who had to do what he had to do to avenge his father and protect his family. but after apollonia (fuckin hot as hell by the way) gets killed he turns into a paranoid sociopath monster. i mean just one example that i can think of right now was how in the first movie you start off right away with this huge sense of family, everybody is laughing and its feels really good, music going people laughing and clapping at his sisters wedding. his father Vito had shit proper. in the beginning of II we see michael with the senator at his sons party and frank pentangeli is wondering where the hell the italian music is, he wants to drink and dance and clap because hes accustomed to how vito has had things. by the end of the movie michael is fully transformed, hes paranoid, he has destroyed his family completely with his greed and the pursuit of power. its just a stunning contrast and its really heavy. its such a drastic change and im not ready to watch 3 yet, ill give it some time, because i know 3 is pretty heavy as well.
anyway i could talk about the movies for quite awhile and theres not enough time so ill leave it at that for now

The Dilemma
Got about an hour in and stopped watching with any active interest. About an hour and twenty in just turned it off. This movie was so bad. Unfunny, uninteresting, I'd fault the actors, but they didn't have anything they could do with this trash. This movie should never have been made.
0 out of 5 because I couldn't even finish it.
latest cronenberg movie about jung, freud and this jew broad who first is jungs patient, then she wants to be a psychoanalyst too and becomes jungs mistress. i liked it, great cast, you really can feel the tension between characters, interesting movie and cronenberg is god. keira knightley have small tiddies
