Re: Recent films. A very brief opinion.
Universal Solider Regeneration - surprisingly very good, gritty, self-conscious action movie with almost Pinter-esque dialogue sometimes - i.e the charactors witter on about random stuff, or have their speeches clipped and go quite a lot. Moody and atmospheric tone, but with enough mental shit going on to get you going "cool" every once in a while. Van Damme is in 50% of it, Lundgren pops up as a clone for 10 minutes, the rest of the charactors are very simplified doctor/army/Chechnyan terrorist types, who occasionally veer into self-parody for the sake of creating tension or stirring up the very simple plot.
Set in Chernobyl, so looks very gloomy. Quite bloody, lots of guns and hand-to hand combat. Like watching "COD-Black Ops" as a movie! I love the original and this one takes it's cues and goes in a different direction. Not a date movie.
All modern actioners should take heed of this film. Fuck you Sly.

The Kings Speech is very good, wittier than you think it will be, but still English as hell.
Very plummy, very well acted, well written. Not too many grandiose shots of London though, little by way of reaction from the British public of the time.
Oscar magnet.

Re: Recent films. A very brief opinion.
Finally watched "The Road".
Bleak, miserable, how I imagine apocalypse. Not so much a like/dislike, more an intellectual exercise in appreciating a well made movie/piece of art.
Can we get our Fallout movie now please? Or new Mad Max?
Actually I've yet to see "Book of Eli" but it sounds garbage. We shall see.

Re: Recent films. A very brief opinion.
Eh, its probably not so recent but fuckit, I just love posting in Mr John's wake.
The Believer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247199/
What's not to love in this laugh-a-minute romp starring Ryan Gosling, who most excellently portrays a lovable jewish-born white supremacist who struggles with his whacky neighbours. (ed: sorry, I meant, Inner Demons).
Great film, quite uneventful in parts but mostly came across as an example of how if one were to convert a book that was mostly internal dialogue into a film, you can still portray it without zany interviews to camera, ala every US sitcom out at the moment. Exposition just needs good acting, not the characters telling the audience directly how they feel.
Thats a rant for another thread, but while I'm all over the shop, let me just post the most poignent thing a white supremacist movie review has ever stated. RE: Edward Norton in American History X ---
PS - It's not a laugh a minute romp.

However much "Love Actually" goes on about its stated subject, there is a second not-so-subliminal theme, and that is miscegenation.
(he loved this movie)"The Lion King" also contains something else, namely the lesson of responsibility, and loyalty toward your own kind. A while ago I asked myself, how is it that this message can come through in a movie made by today's J ew-controlled Disney?
Keks to that!Mulholland Drive provides the strongest evidence of Lynch's racial awareness

Re: Recent films. A very brief opinion.
Finally saw saw "Book of Eli".
Where do I start with what is wrong with this one?
Firstly, it's a Christian propaganda movie, which tries to water itself down by having Malcolm McDowall turn up and align The Bible to the works of Mozart and Shakespeare (a paradox in itself, with the whole film building up The Bible as a society-changing tool of power, then McDowall's unnamed charactor compares it to a piece of art/fiction). After an apocalypse, I'd rather have the "how to survive after an apocalypse" book frankly, given that The Bible kind of grinds to a halt after that wacky revelations ending...
Secondly, what is that cast doing in there? Is this a case of dismal post-production? Did they edit out all the good bits? Denzel phones it in, the big names try and retain some sense of nobility, the minor charactors think they just fell out of Fallout 3.
Thirdly, what the f**k kind of film is this? I wasn't getting any kind of message, just a barrage of mixed signals and suggestions that it was trying hard to be cool. In a sort of, Ed Milliband turns up to make a speech dressed as a charactor from Street Fighter II, trying to be cool kind of way. Isn't working! Denzel's a Ninja, no a prophet, no he's a NAVY Seal, now he's an Indian tracker dude, wait, he's actually Sherlock Holmes, f**k! Is he Jesus? No.
2 and a fail / 10
