Canadian Sci-Fi flick, all kinds of weird fuckery actually helps if you read the plot synopsis before waching it otherwise you'll be lost as i was.Really dope visuals.

Shutter Island - continuing my binge on Scorsese flicks (I bumped into Raging Bull the other night) I saw this on HD visuals for the first time after seeing it on a bootleg copy a couple years ago.. it's not as bad as I thought it was and is IMO one of the best DiCaprio performances I've seen on screen (including his collabos with Scorsese). Of course a laid back film like this would be overshadowed by something like The Wolf Of Wall Street
It was quite heavy on themes related to mental health and illusionary twists. Coupled with an European Gothic flavour; two-thirds of the cast were European .. another film with the same premise I watched this year was Dream House starring Daniel Craig
Unforgiven - Saw this last Friday night on TCM. Subtle, folk story like and great direction from Clint Eastwood. It deserved every accolade it got in awards. Violent turn from Gene Hackman too. A classic true Western..
American Reunion - The last in the American Pie series. Goofy white boy humour thrown in with inevitable gay shit. It was funny in some parts
John Barnes: Sports Life Stories - documentary I caught on TV about legendary Jamaican born Liverpool Football Club midfielder (I'm a soccer enthusiast)
It covered extensively his indifference to racist abuse he suffered while playing in his prime in the 1980s (a picture of a banana thrown near his feet is legendary and funny in a way)
Dude apparently doesn't take himself too seriously and I like that character trait about him. He was a great soccer player

Watch the directors cut. Much better. For all the shit that movie gets, it did depict pike phalanx warfare pretty well. They would of done better to make it a trilogy. Also include the Siege of Tyre. Not that important of a battle but one of my favorite sieges of the Ancient World.

The perfect guy...lmao...
I knew the movie wasn't gon be shit but i was fine with it. Just a regular popcorn flick you don't expect anything from. I was entertained.
It woulda been better if it was rated R the PG-13 rating hurt it and made it a lil inauthentic...like the language was weird no adults today say "sweet mother of god" and shit lmao.
Anyway decent movie. 6/10

Lol It wasn't THAT bad. The only reason i (and I'm sure most people) saw it was cuz of the actors. Very few movies like this are good but i mean...how many times paranormal activity and demon possession movies get made when all of em are the same shit? Let us niggas cook lol

I just watched it. Decent flick. Good action, got a little corny at times. Lavelle Crawford is in it. John Leguizamo is in it as well. Every scene he's in he shines lol. Story is about a pothead convenience store worker who is a cia trained asset who doesn't have his memory. Cia comes to kill him and you know the rest. Not disappointed at all.

The Visit - 7/10
Shyamalan has moderately redeemed himself after a series of disasters. It's more thriller/comedy than horror but there are a handful of genuinely creepy scenes. Slow pacing, but the tone that something is very "off" makes the film interesting even while nothing is actually occurring. In that aspect (and only that aspect) it reminded me of Rosemary's Baby. Both directors managed to load seemingly harmless events with tension and foreboding. That's the part I appreciated the most. I also appreciated that the twist this time wasn't something totally off the wall, i.e. he didn't try too hard. It was a perfectly respectable twist within the realm of normalcy while still being slightly shocking.
The only negatives are that it's got slow pacing in the first act, but it does pick up considerably about 30-40 minutes in. Also the found footage gimmick is beyond tired at this point, but the utilization of it is slightly smarter than some other films I can recall.
Bonus pts for the funny as hell son Ed Oxenbould. Aside from the seriously creepy grandparents he makes the film. The daughter is a decent actress as well , but the son got all of the funny material.
All in all Shyamalan has nothing to be ashamed of this time around. I may just go and see it again .
