War Witch or Rebelle 4/5. Saw it a longtime ago don't remember posting it. I think it was a excellent blend of cultural views. A harsh world separate from anything I've ever known or seen but a world reality, with its central theme a basic love story between 2 young kids. Very tragic and very sweet. | |

Ok, I've been binging a bit over the last couple of days.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - 7/10 - Idris did well. As always, the book is always better! Epic man to capture the essence of; hard era to depict. Naomi Harris was underutilized but it was Mandela, not Winnie. Key supporting characters not developed at all
Savages - 8/10 (with Laura Linney and PSH) - I love these two actors - real hard stuff with end of life issues for an aging parent who wasn't a good parent; i'll miss PSH
Mud - 7.5/10 with Matthew McCaugnahey - I disagree with the "newly minted American classic" description. Good though, pretty original, left a lot to be imagined with the "backstory". Great child actors though!
Red Hook Summer - 5/10 - Easily my least favorite Spike Lee film. Had a couple of surprises in it. I hated the caricaturish portrayal of Christians and Christianity. The soundtrack distracted instead of enhanced this one for me, starting with the opening sequence of Flik's arrival in NY. Poor use of Nate Parker, i think they could've gone with an unknown in that role rather than underutilize him | |

Hi guys,
Myself and my wife watched this over the weekend, kinda based on the reviews here and I am wondering if I saw the same movie as ye........ What was there to like about the movie? Scarlett spoke only 50% of the time, 80% of the movie is the very same with just different guys repeating the same thing. The ending left nothing closed and told us nothing about their kind (how,when,why)....Really perplexed as to any redeeming feature it had except SJ getting her kit off......Am I missing something?........Genuinely curious as to what you liked about it........For me I didn't find much of a plot / story and the ending was too open.......(I know that not every movie has to have a conventionalstory/plot )... Each to their own I guess......Now where did I put my copy of Expendebles 2 (only joking) | |

Oh no!!! I'm sorry logger. Each to their own you are quite right. There's good reason why I didn't bother watching with my other half - he's a mainstream kind of guy. Ok, please watch out for the reviews of rodeoshro instead - he loves the Expendables. For me under the skin was about atmosphere, creepiness, trying to figure out wtf was going on - that's what I like! What I DON'T like: shouting, shooting, movies about straight ex-cons talked into that one last job Don't watch anything I like I'm the mistake you wanna make | |

Thanks for the reply........ It must be me as I didn't like Drive with Ryan Gosling and it seems the whole world loved that......I must be an Expendebles guy unbeknownst to my self I just though it would never end. You and Sexton are normally pretty good to follow on your recommendations.
Saw Noah at the weekend also..... Give it about 5 / 10
Thanks again. | |

Could be.....No guns,no bad language,no nudity and no elephants riding a bike....It's made for you......You should wait for the Bru-Ray version as you can see the dullness of the story in superb clarity...... Have the boiled milk and slippers on standby. | |

Isn't this the story of the little blonde boy who goes to Heaven and meets Jesus? There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

Narco Cultura 8 / 10
Documentary Movie all about narco corrido singing and life in Mexico....Mexico is in serious trouble and this highlights how dangerous it is.I wouldn't go there if I won a free trip.Its not worth the risk..... www.borderlandbeat.com is a fascinating website if you want to know what is really going on in Mexico....Go back on previous months to see older stories.
Movie is a good insight into the mindset of some of the people. | |

Black Rock - 2/5 Despite being written by Mark Duplass and the presence of a few other people with indie cred (whatever that's worth), this really was a pretty generic, forgettable chase/thriller.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
not bad. I told my kid Gollum played Cesar - amazing! And I think it was KidADynamite who commented she thought Cesar is kind of hot LOL - he does have a pleasant face.
3/4 it's pretty good, compared the the ape part in 2001: A Space Odyssey
