Not sure how many of you have seen this, but this is a kickass flick. Pretty similar to Dog Soldiers or even Deathwatch but on a smaller scale, budget-wise.

What makes this flick stand out is the outstanding direction and script, backed by some really solid performances and beautiful cinematography, which creates a lot of wonderful atmosphere - especially in the second half. The ending is a bit of a letdown (**MINOR SPOILERS**) with no explanations or background given to explain for the actions of the antagonist , but overall its gritty, solid and nifty.

I really liked it and would love to recommend this to all my friends here in HDC. Watch the ending with a very open mind though.

Yeah..saw it few months ago...a pretty decent war horror movie. The script, casting, camera work all quite smartly worked out to create the dark & moody atmosphere. Specially it was great to see Ray Stevenson on the lead, even I think to some extent he looked better with this role than Punisher.

"Amityville 3-D" 4/10

Most memorable about A3 is the appearance of Meg Ryan..

Flags of our Fathers


Visually stunning, the battle sequences are probably better than Private Ryan but was frustrated by the constant cutting back and forth between Iwo Jima and the money raising tour afterwards.

Really enjoyed it. Patrick Wilson is great. Jackie Earle Haley is fucking amazing as Rorschach. The ending is different, but I feel it is almost (it's a sin to say it, I know) better than Alan Moore's climax.

There are some really lame music cues and some silliness, but I walked out smiling.

8/10

I agree, Haley was a perfect Rorschach and an even better Walter Kovacs. The prison scenes were mint. Over all, as a comic fan, I was impressed by what I saw. The first half of the movie was panel perfect. I loved all the characters and the acting was great. I don't know where they got the guy who played Dan but he was amazing (might be the fact that he was a favourite of mine in the comic though).

The only things I would complain about were related to them changing the ending. I think that Rorschach's efforts to research the Mask Killer theory are more founded and much more bad ass in the comic. He had other leads, like missing people, a mysterious island and another hero getting killed. That's my only gripe. That said, the new ending is more coherent.

I loved the soundtrack with the exclusion of MCR's Desolation Row. They really should have kept with the plan of not using music made after the 80's

9/10 for me. Very few complaints.

Caught up on some Seagal flicks I haven't seen:

The Glimmer Man, Fire Down Below, Exit Wounds, Half Past Dead and Pistol Whipped.

Really enjoyed them. I hadn't seen much of his stuff post-Under Siege. Popcorn for the brain :D
