Movies of the good kind we have looked upon.

We watched Elysium last night. I was unexpectedly impressed. It felt a lot like District 9 (same director). Excellent bit of sci-fi.

I was going to watch that but got put off by negative comments and reviews.

Don't mind those comments. It's awesome sauce.

Yup

The second one is better. Creepy little fucker in that bothers me much more than the doctor

Ah, cool. I'll check it out. I can get that one free through amazon as well.

I do think the doctor in the first one was perfect for his role. Holy shit where'd they find that guy
It's just, as someone who is used to horror and fucked up shit, the reaction I had to the first one was, "Oh, is that it? What's all the fuss about, then?"

Yup

I think I'll be havin' some o' that, then.

Anyone seen American Hustle? Has had some good reviews.

It's good. Sort of Goodfellas lite. I don't think it's as good as made out. Like last year's Argo I think it's an example of just how bad movies are these days that when a half decent one comes out it gets propelled with five star ratings when 20 years ago it would only of got 3.

Three great movies yesterday: American Hustle at the cinema and then Elysium and About Time, at home

Human Centipede 2. Well that was some good silly fun.

The hamstringing made me wince. The sandpaper wanking made me giggle

I really never want to watch that.

Yeah, when he fishes out the tendons and cuts them, that made me queasy. Nothing else grossed me out, though, despite all the reviews on amazon warning me how graphic it was going to be. One reviewer described it as worse than A Serbian Film (which I've never seen). But it seemed fairly restrained to me. The most horrific thing about it, to me, was when the protagonist licked his finger! That was one seriously creepy (and hilarious) dude. I think the film was a goddamn masterpiece because of his performance. Roger Ebert gave the film zero stars. In this instance, Ebert is an idiot, because I thought this was one of the few horror films that was actually genuinely creepy. Most horror films are retarded. They either try to startle you through various cliched techniques like things jumping out of the dark and quick camera cuts, or they try to gross you out with gore. They're rarely successful. This film worked because of the creepy central performance. The gore, what there was of it, worked within the context of the story. It didn't come across as gratuitous. And I even wondered if perhaps I was watching an edited version because, again, aside from the tendon snipping, I thought to myself, "Oh. Okay. Is this it, then? Is this as gross as it gets? Because it's not that gross."

[tattuchu]

Jack Reacher. Meh. The best bits (all two of them) were already revealed in the trailer.

The Expendables 2. Retarded, sure, but more fun than I thought it'd be. I laughed at Dolph Lundgren's Einstein napkin scene, and the Rubik's Cube scene, for instance, because I know in real life that Lundgren supposedly has a genius level IQ.

Watched Elysium.
Yep, good film. And I agree about it 'feeling' like District 9...The dust, rubbish, shanty towns and South African accents had a lot to do with this, I think.
