Nope, I haven't read the books but I just guess they did a pretty detailed & fine adaptation as each of the film more than 2 hour long without a dull moment. Very nicely made a good conspiracy thriller with a great cast. Looking forward to see how the American versions turns out.

In Her Skin aka I Am You (2009)



A well made moving drama from Australia that comes with a shocking true story about a 15-year-old girl Rachel Barber who went missing and was later found murdered. Loved those soundtracks by John Butler Trio.

Little Deaths (2011)

One thing i really liked about it was the emotional turmoil that Nolan (Richard Harris' character) was going through. It added a lot of depth to the movie.

Hall Pass - 7/10

I found this packed full of laugh out loud moments that were completely incriminating. Let me explain, this return to form by the Farrelly bros is riddled with married/husband & wife observations that led to a lot 'methinks the gentleman doth laugh too loud' evils from the Mrs. If you're a married man and you've seen it, you can take a guess at what gags I'm referring too.

The humour is classic Farrelly, mean and cringey with not a small amount of gross out. It's pretty evenly balanced in terms of broad appeal, as it has humour and titillation for the boys and the girls. I know it was chewed up by the reviewers but I felt it was up there with Kingpin, Dumb and Dumber and Mary.

Thoroughly enjoyable!:)

Bridesmaids



Hilarious. Don't remember the last time I laughed that hard at the movie theater. Kristin Wiig is absolutely incredible - Her sense of comic timing is genius. Plus you have some fantastic supporting roles, Wendi McLendon-Covey of Reno 911, Ellie Kemper from The Office, and Rose Byrne (who was also hilarious in Get Him to the Greek) - This is definitely worth seeing if you're looking for something fun and entertaining.

4/5.

I dont understand why people think Kristin Wiig is so funny. Every movie i've ever seen her in i've found her incredibly annoying. The only roles i've enjoyed her in was Paul (Where she was very subdued) and The Joe Schmo Show (which was before she was famous.)

I thought she was hilarious in Knocked Up and Ghost Town - Small roles, subtle, great comic timing. She was really great in Bridesmaids.

I hadn't seen her on Saturday Night Live up until may 40 minutes ago when I started looking her up... Incredibly UNfunny, but I think it's partially the awful writing; I haven't made a habit of watching SNL since the 90s.

I thought she was terrible in both of those movies. All she did in Knocked Up was say a bunch of stupid annoying quips which were not funny in my opinion and in Ghost Town, i wanted to punch her character. I really hate it when people dont let you talk and so i found it really annoying when she kept interrupting Ricky Gervais so that he wouldnt be able to ask about what happened during his procedure. Plus any doctor who does what she did should have their medical license taken away. I know it was just a movie and im going a little overboard but i just found her to be really unbearable. When did annoying become funny?

Dead Heat today classic 1988. Love it .. like forever. two bad-ass cops one goes on the dead side and it's like zombie cop vs zombie crooks. well made. some laughs in the movie. Excellent fun. for horror fans. and some action in the film as well as horror comedy or some so sci-fi in the mix. It's a pleaser .. hehe :p

Cropsey





Fascinating documentary that explores the "truth" around the urban legend Cropsey, the alleged boogeyman who kidnapped and terrorized children in Staten Island New York, which transitions into the actual conviction and trial of Andre Rand, who was accused of kidnapping multiple children in the 1980s.

Chilling and horrifying, the movie follows the families and friends who banded together to search for the missing youths as well as Willowbrook, the abandoned hospital that created the myth around the disappearances. There is some truly horrible, and sad found footage.

Highly recommended.


4.5/5.

Colin





Finally got around to seeing Colin, the "$70 zombie movie that wowed Cannes," and I honestly think that it would have been better served as a series of webisodes... While there was a lot about the movie that I liked, I ultimately found it a bit meandering, slightly schizophrenic, and ultimately I found myself getting bored by the end...

I don't want to totally pan it as I completely endorse and applaud the indie filmmakers behind it (and indie filmmaking in general), but it just didn't do it for me.
