It was still better than Transformers film that came out in summer.
No it wasn't.  Both were bad, but GI Joe was legendarily terrible.

Revolution- The synopsis sounded good and it was on one of the proper sky film channels so it should have been something, I was expecting some wizz bang bad science b-movie thing.
From the start though I knew I was wrong. Every bone in my body yelled out 'TV movie!'....but I continued to watch anyway. It could be good. Folks to do with BSG did it so the writing might be sharp.
As time wore on though I became ever more suspicious. The pacing was all wrong, not much was happening, too much character development and not enough plot. This wasn't a made for TV movie at all. It was a pilot. And that it was on a movie channel sort of says it was a failed one. So I just wasted 2 hours of my life. Despite the name there was no revolution, the only action came when a spaceship landed and some kid hurt his leg inside an exclusion zone. err....yeah.

Election - The Chinese gangster movie, not the Matthew Broderick movie. The Triads have some elections, some of them don't campaign fairly, some do, lots of people die. the last 15 minutes are just horrific in that banality of evil kind of way. Great style, cinematography in this excellent HK film. Hoping the sequel is as good.

The Gamers:  Dorkness Rising.  I was thoroughly entertained by this little gem.  It's about a group of D&D players and pokes fun at a lot of the stuff that comes up during sessions and whatnot.  I highly recommend it for those  :nerd: individuals on the board who partake in such games.  Well worth the viewing. :thumbsup:

Vicious lies.  :mad:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The Seventh Seal.  Finally.  Amazing flick.  I can see why it's famous.  I really dig/connect with the character of The Knight/Antonius Block played by Max von Sydow.

re-watched "The Big Easy" on a far too old DVD. letterboxed within 4:3 on my 16:9 tv. But it held up as a fun if minor film. great interrupted sex scenes between Barkin and Quaid. both of whom are divine in this. hokey 80's jazz soundtrack supplemented by Cajun songs and jokes about gumbo abound.

Inglorius Basterds. Am I evil if my favorite character in the movie is SS Oberst Hans Landa?

Also, Diane Kruger was super hot. I'd put my little Jew in her easy-bake oven any day of the week.
