Attack the Block

Really fun UK horror/thriller/comedy. I think if I hadn't ever listened to a Dizzee Rascal record I wouldn't have understood what some of these kids were saying. That said, it was charming, funny, and over quickly as it should have been.

Ides of March - Ryan Gosling can cum all over my face. Oh, this was a pretty good thriller too.

Paranormal Activity 3 - I guess I'm a fan of the series, I saw the first two. Number two was the most terrifying, really hitting that Poltergeist note to great effect. This movie added humor and some much needed back story involving some creepy exorcism stuff. There were a number of good gags as well, including a set piece with a bed sheet that merits renting this movie if you like horror.

[Rec] - The Spanish original that was remade as "Quarantine." Way better than the American version. There are a couple of "gross out" scenes and a scene with a kid that is compelling. The ending makes more sense as well. Sure, it isn't as dressed up in CGI or million-dollar effects, but some of the shots were actually more effective. And I always feel like a stranger when I watch a foreign film, and to me that adds a layer of unknown which creates some horror depth. I plan to just sit down and watch the series, both Spanish and American. [Rec 3] is coming out 2012!

Catfish - Profoundly interesting if you are remotely interested in human interactions (both in terms of the film's premise and in the likelihood the film itself is exaggerated or fabricated). This movie did throw a completely touching curve ball at the end, and ended on a very humble and non-judgmental note that almost pulled some heartstrings except by that point I was debating if this documentary is legit or a hoax (I have a list of like 100 reasons why this documentary did not actually happen, but I digress...). The movie negates some of the cautionary stuff that a privileged person might not have to deal with, but overall an interesting documentary.

Twilight: Breaking Uterus

As always, a hilariously cheesy, poorly written, and poor acted good time. My favorite part was the tacked out, out of nowhere climax based on a "law" that had never existed until that moment.

One good thing: I thought the effects they did for Bella withering away were very effective.

KG - Brazil is one of my favorite movies of all time. It ranks up there with the greats, and is easily the best Gilliam has ever made, followed by Tideland.

I have not seen Tideland, I will have to check it out.

My favorite Gilliam films are Brazil and Twelve Monkeys. You can't forget Monty Python either. Brazil is easily one of my favorite films. It is such a memorable, bleak, and dark, dark comedy. There's also a lot going on in that film.

Chronicle - I'll have to see this one again, but this may sneak into my top 5 favorite comic book movies. There was so much joy in this film, so many good special effects, and a few moments that really made me wish I could fly.

I mean, this movie captured what X-Men touched on a bit, and Spider-Man failed to capture, which is the realization of your powers, and then the implications.

And I think the movie's budget was a humble 12 to 15 million, and it looks phenomenal.

Comic nerds, go see this movie.

Chronicle
Really enjoyed this. Might be one of my favorite "superhero" movies. Also very Akira-esque, which was nice.
