I saw in the news that King Richard III's bones had been analyzed and it was confirmed that he was brutally hacked to death on the battlefield. He even suffered some post-mortem wounds. In light of that graphic visual, I thought it was time I either read Richard III or watch the Laurence Olivier version. Feeling a little lazy, I opted for the second option. Olivier was great as the twisted (not referring to his spine) King Richard.

I had seen Olivier's version of Henry V and didn't like it as much as Branagh's version so I didn't know what to expect. However Olivier did a great job and it's worth watching even if you haven't read the play.

I also recently saw the Henry V The Hollow Crown by Sam Mendes and think it was very well done. It omits what I think is an important scene or one I'm kind of partial to anyway (the treason scene Act 2 Scene 2) but is otherwise a good production.

Look again at Olivier in this film -the hair, the hose, the pose -and you may conclude it should be called Queen Richard the III. Like too many directors before and since Olivier cut Shakespeare's text and moved it around to do it better than Will or to fit it into the 90 minute timeframe for an average film. In The Hollow Crown they even transform Aumerle from a defender of Richard II into his executioner, surely a contradiction too far.

Caught up with a well reviewed Swedish film from last year "We are the best' directed by Lukas Moodyson.

Rather uninspiring little tale abut two troubled 13-year-old girl who decide they are punks.

I saw Tusk last weekend.

I realize there are tons of reviews of this movie online but please take it from me....stay away unless you are just a kevin smith fanboy.

tusk starts out like it will be awesome in the first act. then kevin smith just says fuck all and ruins the second half by destroying the pace. the big reveal happens way way to early. the love triangle is meaningless. johnny depp is only there for comic relief and even so kinda phones in his performance and finally, the end is terrible because it makes no fucking sense. actually...justin long's character arc is just retarded because the character traits that he starts the movie with do not lend themselves to the disposition he ends up in. it would be like making a movie where superman sucks a dick at the end and willingly takes a kryptonite enema!!!

in short...
from a horror perspective, it is only horrifying for the first half.
from a comedic perspective, it is only funny at moments until you realize that the humor is based in sheer ignorance.
from a shock value perspective, it lacks the punch of the human centipede

its not worth your $14

47 Ronin...much better than I thought it would be. Spider Man 2 the other day. The Spidey movies have too much going on though. He always has 2 villains & some life drama. Not sure why they do that in his movies because the comic books weren't always like that.
