The 100-Year-old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. 7.5/10

One of the strangest films I've ever seen and also one of the funniest.

"Lone Star" I must watch it three or four times a year.

"The Rebound" is starting to join that category.

A week of gore for me:


Aftershock [2012]. Director: Nicolás López

5/10

Chilean disaster movie morphs into gross-out horror, not unexpectedly given that Eli Roth is co-producer, co-writer and star.

*******
[REC] Apocalypse [2014]. Director: Jaume Balagueró

6/10

This thankfully returns to the plotline (and star) of the first 2 films but without the found footage gimmick. The location switches to a ship as the fast zombies run amok. The apartment block worked better.

*******
Dead Silence [2007]. Director: James Wan

5/10

The Saw guys (Wan and writer Leigh Whannell) signed up to a major studio without a completed script for their next movie, yet another spooky ventriloquist's dummy yarn. A commercial flop.

*******
The Task [2011]. Director: Alex Orwell

5/10

Some minor Brit actors and Bulgarian extras pretend they are Americans in this After Dark horror set on a US Reality TV show where they get killed off one-by-one. There are some twists at the end.

The Black Hole

First time I've revisited this since the early 80s and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's no classic but it's dark, oppressive and unsettling and the score is just phenomenal. I didn't find the robots as annoying as I did when I was a lad, strangely. A pleasant surprise.

8/10

Mandela: The Long Walk To Freedom

Well made biopic that tails off slightly towards the end and loses steam. Idris Elba was fantastic as Mandela, really impressive.

7/10

ZERO DARK THIRTY - 7/10

I watched it tonight too and didn't think much of it either. I watched a documentary on C4 about the same topic which was as good as ZDT, if not better and an hour shorter.

It being a fictional story inspired by the raid on Bin Laden's compound, rather the dry retelling of the real life story it was, might have been better.

5/10

The Day of the Locust (1975) 8/10

A sketch artist becomes increasingly disillusioned with Hollywood in the 1930s.

A very depressing masterpiece, albeit one with a shocking finale. Starring the original Homer Simpson (only joking, I know it is a myth)

I watched 'Men, Women and Children' over the weekend. Its one of those where there are a few separate stories going on, that you find are all linked together as the film goes on. It explores life in the digital age, and I found it to be very thought provoking. Not a film for everyone, but I really likes it. I'd give it 7/10.

I'm watching "Bridesmaids" at the moment.

It's okay but I don't get the massive hype for it.

Quigley Down Under - A western set in Australia, starring Tom Selleck. Hadn't seen it since it was first released in 1990. Enjoyable.

Very overrated in my opinion.

Ex Machina - Another movie about AI. Still very good, has that similiar sheen of Alex Proyas's Gattaca.

8/10

Gulliver's Travels (1939) - Not nearly as good as some of the Disney animations of its era.

5/10
