The Hurt Locker

Phenomenal. Really intense, edge-of-your-seat, nerve-wracking, contemporary war flick.

Slip, this is going to be amazing in your new video parlour!

Explicit Ills

Explicit Ills is a fantastic film. Never heard of it, took a chance at the video store and boom, boom, pow, I get hit with this. Check it.

District 9 - thumbs up!

Caught District 9 last week. It lived up to my hype here on the Moontower! Amazing effects, great story. And I smell a sequel or two based on the ending (at least that's what I hope)!

Fanboys

This movie is teh shit. Watch it. Imagine a road-trip movie, with tons of Star Wars references, cameos, and even a good sub-plot, and you've got Fanboys.

Shaolin Soccer

Shaolin Soccer - funny, silly film!

I mentioned to Woods that I think little E would get a kick out of this film. It's not a kids film per se, but I would describe it as The Bad News Bears meet The Matrix - just no Kelly and no Morpheus.

Link to trailer

More Funneeeee!

A couple of funny films to check out...

Foot Fist Way

Apparently a favourite film of Will Ferrell's. Cringy like The Office, silly like Semi-Pro.

Chris Rock's Kill The Messenger

Hilarious. Chris Rock rocks.

Three Deeeee!

Unusual for me, but I went to see movies in the theatre twice this past weekend. Mainly because the films I went to see were in super duper 3D.

Coraline

Great stop motion film by the director of A Nightmare Before Christmas. Not really for the young kids, had some spooky moments. But a little disappointed with the 3D. The film didn't take advantage of being in 3D. If you go, see it in 2D and save the extra bucks for popcorn. 

IMAX Under the Sea 3D

Imax and 3D - always a great combo. Amazing underwater photography brought to life in 3D. My god, at one point you are face to face with a giant cod floating in the middle of the theatre. Only 40 minutes long and the 3D made me feel a little dizzy, but it was pretty cool.

This is England - wicked film!

Highly recommended! This film blew me away. Never heard of it and was in Suspect Video with Woods who pointed to it. Gripping.

Another movie reco

Everything's Gone Green - written by Douglas Coupland and starring Vancouver!

Great Movies

Caught a couple of great movies lately. The first is a must rent - Tom Tykwer's "Perfume". Wow this is a twisted film, but amazing. The second is "Ever Since The World Ended". This is a little indie flick that ranks up there with some of the best futurist movies out there.

300 & Fast Food Nation

Now that I am back from my trip, I am back in the sweetspot of my couch watching DVDs! But last night I saw '300' on the big screen. Amazing visuals. Enough blood splatter for a lifetime! Another reco is for 'Fast Food Nation' from Linklater! Sobering.

Another must see - Farce of the Penguins!

Caught this one last night. Fun-eeee! We laughed and laughed. But a word to the wise - in the extra features Bob Saget warns viewers that this movie is designed to be watched in an altered state!

Oh did I mention that Sammy J is the narrator! No mother-f*#ckin' snakes on this mother f#*ckin plane!

Children of Men

OMG! I saw Children of Men last night. Stellar! I enjoyed this movie from the first moment until the stark end credits. This film visualizes a dystopic future with such realism it gives me the willies! I am not even going to talk about Michael Cain's performance until you see it!
