I just turned it off about 15 minutes into it.

It was like a car wreck.  I just couldn't look away, no matter how bad it got.  At some point I want to watch it again so I can write a comic insult review.

So I watched both Red Dawns and  Pain & Gain in the last few days.
New Red Dawn is watchable,  old one was good, but I remember it been better.  Pain & Gain was good.

I may go watch Fury tonight with my son,  should I?   :hmm:

The new Red Dawn wanted to make me start throwing shit at the screen because of the utterly unrealistic bullshit. :P

That applies to half of the movies now a days.

Under the Skin. WTF did I just watch?  :huh:

I guess the thinking was something like. what if we take the movie Species and turn it into a pretentious art house film? Course, being the pretentious art house film that it is, it's rather hard to follow and probably doesn't resemble Species much at all(besides the obvious, alien chick seducing and killing earth men).

Oh, and at one point the alien seduces the elephant man.  :wacko:

Scarlett Johansson really has made some odd choices lately.

Yeah that was a WTF movie. On the plus side she's naked in it and shows her bits for a bit.

One's better off just googling her bits than watching this film though.

Listen and understand. Hollywood is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until everything you love is dead.

Realism is a continuum, not a binary distinction. :P

PG-13?  They can't be serious!

Other than the PG-13 part, which is a shame but unavoidable, the premise sounds pretty decent, and avoids retreading the other four.  It's not fundamentally incapable of being good, like Salvation arguably was.

Wouldn't say must-see, but I enjoyed it.  Pretty fucked up situation, all around.

Meanwhile, I watched Nightcrawler tonight.  Stars Jake Gylalalalalahallajihad as an amazingly-creepy late-night camera-jockey recording all the bleedy, leady stuff that LA audiences apparently love.  The score was excellent, acting excellent, sense of dread pretty terrifying and the entire atmosphere of the movie was enough to get me to think about watching it again in theaters.  9.5/10 or B+, whichever.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
