The Perks of Being a Wallflower

A girl Im close to pressured me into watching it, and I must say, it was a refreshingly new (or at least to me it was) take on the whole "teen coming of age saga" genre.

Though it kind of annoyed me that they never actually went into the perks of being a wallflower. But I suppose that was the point of the movie.

I got to see "The World's End" on Friday night. Overall I thought it was excellent. Perhaps not as strong as the trio's Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, but if those are A's this is like an A -. I feel like I need more viewings before I try to rank them.

If you're a fan of their other movies, I would say this is a must go. The writing is incredibly witty, and Nick Frost's character arc is fun to watch unfold on screen. This movie will have you engaged and laughing your socks off. The only thing that got to me was the movie can feel quite "rushed" at times. Not in a... poor writing to get from a - b sort of rushed, but so much is going on at once you get a little lost.

One of the few movies that made me cry.

How? I understand it is a bit sad (I watched the movie a while ago and read the book, movie is pretty solid), but not heartbreaking. Then again, I don't cry from movies.

I'm a very emotional person. If you ever get to know me, you will see how hard I try and fail to cover that fact up both online and in RL.

On another note, I actually saw Expendables 2. Very bad movie overall. Just as I thought, the action was few and far between compared to the first, which makes no sense since the first movie had too much plot already.

Not enough Arnold. Not enough Norris. Not enough Willis. They spent the death on young Mr. Nobody. For a series that likes to play with the fact that they are all fossils, they need to start removing that wall of plot invincibility they have for every major character. I don't know how many they plan on making, but the third one better have a major death in it to symbolize the fact that they are all passing from the spotlight with every year.

Some people are just are just pussy's. I know that because I am one of them. Extreme violence in movies, or even real violence like these decapitation video's don't bother me at all, but I cried watching Finding Nemo ffs.

They should have changed the name of Taken 2 to I Want A Refund

Machine Gun Preacher

I was bored, saw it available on Netflix, remembered someone recommending it, and watched it. I thought it was pretty good. I felt they could have covered his decent into madness a bit better, but overall it was an enjoyable movie.

I've been recommended to watch "Now You See Me". Any thoughts on the movie?

This movie got mainstream snubbing because of its religious undertones. Without religion, it is like a hundred other movies that both my friends and critics would laud, but throw in a little Christianity and suddenly people avoid the movie like the plague. A story is a story is a story, as far as I am concerned. And Gene Simmons was right about Tim Tebow :)

The Master - so much potential: great acting, good direction, interesting premise. "what? that's it? nothing happens? no moral? no point? nothing?" potential < finished script

Yeah, I kinda hated it. It seemed like it could be a major epic. Instead it was just a story of bromance gone wrong.

8 Femmes, awesome. Best song imho http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-vzbM-Y5yAk

French is so sexy

Dredd (2012)

I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was. I was expecting a B-side action flick but it turned out to be great.

Basically the same plot as The Raid: Redemption, but in a different style. If I had to pick a two action movies to show in the same block of time Id show these two side by side.

[Vuk]

Yeah, I thought Dredd was boss. I liked it a lot more than Sly's Judge Dredd. I guess I usually like anything with Karl Urban though. :P

Dredd (2012)

Instead of trying to make an epic out of it, they went with a tight story line and didn't dumb it down for the non 2000 AD fans. Entertaining flick, pretty well done, and it's got Cersie in it.

[The Lurker Below]

The Sessions - well that was, uh, different. It was also, er, interesting. mmhmmm. 6/10 for production quality. Not your run of the mill Hollywood subject matter as guys shows go. Also not the knight in shining armor leading man the chicks want. A chick flick for guys?
