Excellent movie. Moves at a fairly fast pace and is pretty effective in portraying a particular time and place on the frontier out west. Was a very good way to start my foray into the genre.
Also watched True Grit, the more recent one just out of boredom. I had heard mixed things but I liked it a lot. If I have one complaint it's that Jeff Bridges was almost unintelligible at times. If there had been closed captioning for the movie I would have used it and missed a lot less dialogue.
The Colony.
Survivors of a new ice-age, living underground, are attacked by cannibals.
That's about it, really! :shrug
"Frances Ha" - directed by Noah Baumbach. A meandering tale about a young woman (Greta Gerwig) and her life in New York as a failed dancer. Shit in black and white. Okay.

I finally took the plunge and decided to see the Evil Dead remake. I was hesitant mainly because so many people had told me that it is very graphic. And I'm not talking nudity here. Now I'm a big horror movie fan but when it comes to extreme graphic types, I tend to steer away. And I must tell you that this movie is not for the squeamish. It was far better than the original I have to say though. Original was way to much of a comedy type. This was the complete opposite. None the less, I recommend it if you don't mind all the creepy gore....

I also seen a movie called "Would You Rather" I really liked this movie. Was different than your usual horror movie. And the main villain (Shepperd Lambert) I just loved. He was this creepy yet cool type of character. Check the trailer. I'm sure some of you will get into it, if you're Horror/Thriller fans...

Attack from Beneath! This is TRULY a modern B movie and similar to Pacific Rim. Monsters from below the ocean floor attacking cities and being fought by giant robots piloted by humans. I seen better acting in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!!!

Has anyone here seen Before Midnight, the final part of the trilogy of films starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy and directed by Richard Linklater?
I loved the first film because I had virtually the same experience in Paris when I was younger, so identified with Ethan Hawke's character. Only difference was that I slept with the girl on that magical night!
Enjoyed the second, though not so much, so I'm interested to know what others thought about the third film.
Not yet RL.... late last night, unable to sleep, watched "McCullin" a documentary about the great photographer Don McCullin - most famous for recording the horrors of war in an bleak and unfliching way from the conflict in Cyrprus in the 1950s to the war in Biafra. he gazed long into the heart of human darkness. I think it bruised his soul.
After watching this the words that spring to mind are from Conrad. "The horror, the horror."
Here are some of his most iconic images. The last, by contrast, is a character everyone called Snowy who could be seen every day in Cambridge market in the 1970s.
Broken City
Mark Wahlberg/Russel Crowe
Nothing new but alright for what it was. :shrug
