16 Jan 09 Revolver

Oh what a crackpot head spin this flick was, the bloke from the transporter films, forget his name now, farkin useless i am remembering names these days, Anyways he’s a top  actor, he’s got game
Its all about the con, well how to con a con who cons a con. (mind fucked yet !) without giving anything away.

Shite I don’t really know how to tackle this one, at most points of this film i had no idea where the bloody hell i was, it was a tough note to shift, full of mind deranging twists and turns and roundabouts it just had me in a weird mood i didnt know whether to laugh, cry or shit myself; it really took its toll on the old brain hemisphere left right out !

Well if you like to have a headache after a good old right off of a storyline and grandad is starting to bore the tits off you, have a crack at this one, it will blow your nipples off and confuse tha balls off a rhino.

Saying all that I did enjoy sitting down and challenging my brain in a way it has never been challenged before, check it out see if you feel it.

13 Dec 08 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Well I have to say, I have had some interest in Jesse James for some time and tried as beest as possible to draw the good from the bad, but i have to say this was good from afar, but far from good. Like i always do; i gave this one the glory of seeing it through to the end, but was definately mind fucked right the way through.

I was somewhat drawn to the characters they were fairly straight up the storyline was something to be said for, not all of what i saw in this film i have belief in, but who the bugger really knows the truth aye.
I mean lets be honest Brad Pitt as Jesse, wouldnt have been my first choice, Jesse was not a farkin pretty boy, that is very clear. but hey he did do an ok job.

Well this should be one for the boredom of a sunday avo if you have a few hours to spare and nothing better to watch, but it is pretty interesting, dont follow the facts this version is just a fairytale on screeen.

09 Dec 08 Crash

Crash, was a riot of plots and intertwined twists, never have i come across such  freak of the silver screen, hooraa to the writers, this would have had your pens in game of hide and go seek.

What starts as a simple and mindless beginning to what seems to be a family flick of cops and robbers ends up being racial battle and a gangland fueled mindtrip for only those who are worthy.

I had a brilliant time watching this one, i didn’t even need the popcorn, there was plenty of brain food and it didn’t stop coming, if you got a pinch in your nerve for a movie you can’t take your eyes off this will surprise you and excite you.

17 Oct 08 The Woodsman

Break out the kiddie fiddler’s and prepare to fire…

The Woodsman, dont be fooled by the title, though i doubt if even the carpetman, would have worked for this one, this was a pretty challenging movie even for the totally open minded like myslef, though it did not dig into the bad and the ugly phsycotic elements of kiddie fiddling, it did provide resolution on a sickness no-one has the time of day for.

Basically this film was totally brilliant, the detail, storyline and plot wer very well crafted, it almost seemed to adopt an 8mile approach to the background, without the rabbit ! (umm yeah) focus…

I know very little about the human phsycie, but this was a particularly stimulating film, you almost had to think to get through it, but never the less, the cinematography was brilliant, this was good time spent participating in couch sports. ( gold medalist ”numero uno” ), you will have to be the judge on this one.
