Time Crimes

There's no mind-fuck like a good time-travel flick - this fits the bill for sure. The script is very tightly written and keeps adding layers to the plot right up to the very end, and the director keeps everything moving along at a perfect pace. Plus the lead actor - Karra Elejalde - is absolutely brilliant in his role...he really carries the film on his shoulders, and creates a fascinating and incredibly complex character.

If you're interested in time travel, you really should see this - one of the best films of it's type that I've seen in a LONG time.


Punisher: War Zone

Loved it - EXACTLY what I was looking for. So bad that it's hard not to enjoy it: the villains are hilarious, the violence is foolishly over-the-top, and the script is so poorly written that you HAVE to laugh at it.

Fans of high art should keep their distance, but anyone looking for a perfect so-bad-its-good action flick should look no further.

Bf is making me sit through it right now. He grew up watching the manga, so he felt like he just had to see what they did to the movie he had so much hope for...

Needless to say, he's chain smoking and on the verge of tears. :p

Cloverfield. It was much better than i guessed. Almost strained my neck from the awkward camera angles. Hud (camera guy) was hillarious. i thought the very ending was clever. Ashe.

Against the Dark.

this 'steven seagal' film is the worst piece of shit excuse for an "i am legend" ripoff - ever.

to the point where they even say "we're the monsters now" wow.

top billed huge puffy fat ass seagal is seen for about 5 minutes here and there in this stitched together convoluted mess .. looking like an overstuffed leather clas sausage .. with the laughable name of 'Tao'

i think he lost his damn mind a few years ago and no longer cares who knows it.

i recommend this film to anyone who loves truely bad movies. sit back and see if you can get the stunned look off of your face. be sure to watch the 'special feature' making of .. just to witness the sheer balls of these 'filmmakers' who by all rights should be in hiding, not proudly discussing this travesty.

I LOVED and still do, the manga and anime. I thought that the movie was way to rushed. There was no, Krillin, no Tien. The fight scenes were OK. I know it's just a kids film, but damn. The only characters i thought were done right, were Roshi and Piccolo. Haha, and there is supposed to be a trilogy. Another thing, Goku? In high school? Being picked on by stupid jocks? WTF? I guess, they changed the story a bit, or were trying to be creative, so i give them kudos for that, but jesus. Bulma was done alright. Ehhh. Tell your BF it's alright. I feel his pain.


End nerd rant. If that's a rant.
