Scanners (1981)

I originally saw "Scanners" in 1995 or 1996 and I didn't think much of it, except for Michael Ironside's performance which is memorable to the bone.

I re-watched it last Monday and my impressions are about the same - it's a good film with some interesting subtext and a couple of riveting scenes but it feels incomplete and confused at certain key points.

If you haven't seen it, keep it for a lazy afternoon or an after-party.

Savage streets

Once again I am dissapointed za movie was not as harsh as I expected. I thought it would be a bit more over the top. Linda Blair was rather anoying towards the end as well. Plenty of tits not enough gore.

5/10


Chopping Mall

This movie is a heap of fun though stupid at the same time. The killbots must be the worst shot with a laser of all time.


6.5/10

Mystic River. Clint Eastwood amazes me with his directorial abilities. This movie is no exception. Penn does an exceptionally amazing role, especially against a cast of other hard hitting actors. Pretty wild that i found myself truly empathizing with an actor. Though a tad long, this flick never drags.

The Hamiltons. Gritty and brutal, this movie had a great twist. i loved the echo-sounding house, which helps expose the emptiness of their home. The twins were awsome in a disturbing way. Ashe.

Dances with Wolves (1990)

I dug this film. The story and characters were interested and it was directed and acted very well. Enjoyable all around,


-9/10

Straw Dogs. Great flick. The acting seemed a little chunky in the beginning, but it mellowed out soon enough. Can't believe that i never saw this one. The flashbacks were pretty powerful in the church party scene. Ashe.
