Zero Dark Thirty - 2012


Directed by Kathryn Bigelow

I was surprised at my reaction to the first 20min of the movie - I thought it was pretty disturbing. I guess I was surprised because I am usually down to watch gory bloody movies where tons of people are slaughtered and in terrible ways.. I guess knowing that the torture they were doing is probably similar to what actually went down many times to several people, and that this is what we are still doing in current times - that shit disturbs me. But I don't want to complain too much about it, because I respect that it was disturbing and that it was in the film - I think people should watch it and be disturbed.. might give people a better idea about why the whole world hates the USA..

I do have to say, it is gripping enough to make me see the movie thru to the end - which is good on their behalf, because the rest of the movie kind of sucked. I mostly put it in the DVD player because I wanted to see the hollywoodified attack on bin laden at his compound. Unfortunately that scene only appeared in the last 20 minutes of a fucking 157 min movie..

why the fuck do people think they gotta make 3 hour long movies? I had to watch the same repetitive shit for TWO HOURS before I get to see the shit I really wanted to see? wtf Kathryn?

I will spoil one thing - the end of ambiguous as to the state of the lead characters mind - and I thought that shit was cool as fuck. And on that note - the characters in this film are quite interesting (minus when they are repetitive and I'm like, why the fuck is this shit 3 hours???) and I always love a movie with some good dynamic characters. But the ambiguous ending with the lead at the end was dope.

If you haven't seen it - I would say you should, but I can't haldukken this thing thru your face because I don't have enough energy to send a 3 hour haldukken your way unless it's fucking Superman yedig?


Full Metal Alchemist - 2003 to 2004


Directed by Seiji Mizushima

Primarily written by Hiromu Arakawa

If you watch the youtube clip you'd understand why I was interested in this. That, and I was reading a book about alchemy at the time..

I liked the show a lot - although there were a few too many filler episodes (semi-expected).

There is a decent handful of 'elderly-wisdom' packed into the show that is right up my alley - probably the third main reason I decided to check this show out.

And I can say - the end of the season is awesome ! There is only one season I think, so it was kind of like a very long anime movie I suppose.. but the end did not disappoint (which is impressive for a TV show I'd have to say)

If you never seen it - check it out, the episodes are only 20-some minutes.. but I would suggest learning a thing or two about alchemy first, otherwise you probably won't like it at all.

Mama - 2013


Directed by Andrés Muschietti

First time Director ! (according to his resume on imdb) Executive Produced by Guillermo del Toro!

FUCKING SICK - it looks like he made a short film with this concept in 2008, five years later drops an epic feature - good job Muschietti !

Everything production wise is fucking sick in the movie - and the acting is good too.

This movie was not what I was expecting to see (I didn't see a trailer, a friend just put it in) and that was a great surprise because the concept was fucking awesome !

If you like scary/thriller movies - you need to check this out asap

Tombstone - 1993


Directed by George P. Cosmatos

FUCKING AWESOME - director died in 2005 RIP and thank you for Tombstone!

This movie is money - another movie I've seen bits and pieces of that I decided to watch all the way thru and I'm damn happy I did!

I think the cowboys could've looked a little meaner - idk much about them (besides the little bit I read on Wiki after watching the movie and needing to know more) - but I read a book called 'Blood Meridian' that was about a crew of some mean mofos, and when I saw the 'cowboys' I thought they were going to be more like the crew from that book I read.. but maybe that's just not how they were? I guess it's hard for anyone to be intimidating when you got Doc Holliday sitting in your corner.

Val Kilmer plays probably now one of my favorite characters in a movie of all time. I knew nothing about Doc Holliday before I saw this movie, and all I can hope is that he was as badass as Kilmer played him!

"You look like somebody just walked over your grave"

epic, haldukken, all of the above, see this movie god dammit

Half Baked - 1998


Directed by Tamra Davis

I have seen bits and pieces of this over the years, but I finally sat down and watched it. It's pretty funny, but I don't think it's on the same level as what Chappelle and Brennan were doing during 'The Chappelle Show' ..

One thing that kind of bummed me out too is the production value. I felt like the movie was a long skit, instead of a feature film..

I think Guillermo Diaz was my favorite actor/character in the movie - he's fucking hilarious.

The movie was funny, you should watch it, but it wasn't as funny as 'Friday' namean?
