"The Expendables"

"The Expendables" is quite possibly the greatest ass-kicking. gun shooting, cigar smoking, red meat eating HE-MAN ACTION EVER!! (can I get a Whoo-ya)
The plot: paper thin
The carnage: Waaaaaay over the top.
I Loved It.
Leave your brain at the door and go and have some good old fashioned action movie fun.

Stalingrad (1993). This war gem leaves the glories of war at the doorstep, instead reveling in the squalid horrors of war, physical and psychological. Told from the German foot soldier's point of view, there is no sense of good or bad, just men ordered to kill other men. The Stygian battlegrounds are wonderfully portrayed as fields of death, with men constantly on the verge of breakdown. The battles are brutal and realistic, at least until the tides are turned and the frozen nightmare of winter settles in. Suddenly the battlefield's ominous foe is the frozen landscape, killing without regard to political ideology. The acting, whilst occasionally overacted, still captures our painful imaginations and hearts. The story itself is just a snapshot of war, with no real storyline necessary save to survive.

Scott Pilgrim.
It was ok. Personally it was a little more fun in comic form I thought...
Nothing wrong with the film, it's well done and all I suppose.
Just something I saw out of general interest really, and yeah, it was ok.

Inception.
Further cements my preference of Nolans non-Batman work.
Quite interesting, thought provoking.
Reminded me a little of "The 13th Floor" in elements.
Personally I don't think it lived up to QUITE the amount of hype it's been getting, though it was solidly entertaining, and I liked it.

I can't see inception now because I've basically heard the whole story from people.

Cemetery Man AKA Dellamorte Dellamore (1994). Dancing between the philosophic underpinnings of death and macabre humor, between a style that rivals Argento and a silliness that must be seen to be believed, and between the bizarre nature of love and downward spiral of depression built upon the isolation of the pariah comes the genius that is Dellamorte Dellamore. Michele Soavi's masterpiece shows that he was paying attention as Argento's understudy, maybe even surpassing the master. With so many genres rolled into one, this flick's originality allows its occasional zaniness to be smoothly taken in stride. With an almost whimsical plot, it conveys a meaning, or maybe purpose, of death that is felt more than it is understood. This fascination with death is furthered through its illicit eroticism. Rupert Everett's acting was sublime, with a subtle sense of delivery that is masterful. His nearly mute sidekick was equally wonderful. Anna Falchi's presence is a blessing that will send most guys to church, begging for more. Michele Soavi's direction was simply perfect, and the stylish camera work was delivered with an unequaled flair. The production set was both low budget and incongruently elaborate. Like any meditation of death, this goes beyond a mortal's capacity of comprehension, making for a movie that would be appreciated by horror fans and the intelligentsia alike. Grazia.

Halloween (1978)

Do I even need to comment?

Well actually, I will. It was the TV version and to be honest I think I preferred it. I felt the added scene inside Smith's Grove definitely connected things better, felt like less of a jump. And I didn't notice whatever scenes were omitted.
