Fishing scene. My image might be incorrect. I watched the 2005 movie. I've seen Triad Election and Election as the title so I just went with the cooler image. The fishing scene was fantastic.

The Game

I watched this last night, and was enthralled throughout the whole movie. The acting performance from Michael Douglas was phenomenal, as was Sean Penn's. This was definitely a great thriller with fantastic pacing and storywriting...until the ending. The ending was far too abrupt and hard to believe for me. It did leave me thinking for a while about the process behind the game itself and how the people would pull it off, but it just left a bad taste in my mouth. Had the ending been written so that it flowed more with much more believability while still reaching the same conclusion of what the game turned out to be, then I would be much more satisfied with the film. But since everything apart from the ending earned my applause, I'll give it a 6/10.

That is a great scene. So fucking rough. Looking at the movie synopses on Wikipedia it look like the movie we're talking about is Election. But Triad Election is amazing as well.

Yeah, I just realized Triad Election is a completely different movie.

Anyway it's October, which means that I'm going to be watching a lot of horror films. Some will be ****, some will be good, and some will be horror movies that I haven't got around to watching yet (Rosemary's Baby and the original Ring and Grudge movies). I love October...



The first time I watched this I was at work and didn't pay much attention but liked what I saw. I saw it was on Netflix streaming so I gave it another go. I enjoyed the **** out of it. Yes it was slow but for the low budget it was pretty impressive. I thought the characters were very believable, none of that super model scream your head off plastic characters that plaster horror films now. The atmosphere was fantastic and I felt the story was solid. Ti West peaked my interest with House of the Devil and this just made me want to see him explore something with a larger budget. Great little indie horror movie.

8/10



The trailer was vastly superior and more frightening than the finished product. I guess I could give them points for being creative but it was just laughable. Right off from the beginning I wanted the all dead. The person with the camera zoomed in and out like they were testing the zoom, then somebody cleaned the lens with what looked like a Burger King wrapper and I just wanted them dead. It also seemed like the writers read House of Leaves while writing this because it had some of the elements of the changing house to it. The effects were bad, very bad, and the scares just weren't felt due to my hatred of the characters. I didn't expect much but it was just bad.

2/10

I watched The Expendables 2. I really enjoyed it a lot.

Phantom Limb

Don't watch it man, it's a complete waste of time. One of the few exceptions where the US version completely blows the original away.

Exactly how I felt. What a damp squib of an ending. Ruined what had been up to then a totally great movie. Cop out. Terrible.

That was just fun, The writing was solid as was the acting and I also reserve the right to call it one of the better action movies out recently. I had high expectations due to the very high RT rating and I came away very pleased and satisfied. JGL is such a pleasure to watch. I'll watch him do anything in film. The only gripe I guess you could say I have is the fact that the second half kind of diverges off the path that the first half set but it in no means takes away from the film. I mean, that kid was ****ing badass. I even liked the ending even though it was a bit abrupt. Great film.

9/10



I've always been a sucker for mysteries and I was already intrigued and familiar with the mystery of the tiles before hearing about this documentary so I was excited watching this one. One of the more enticing and fascinating documentaries I've seen. There wasn't huge production value but there wasn't a need for it because the film was constructed soundly and the story was told so that I wasn't bored once. I'd say that more than half the information was new to me and told like an enticing campfire story. If you like mysteries that just so happen to be completely true, check this out. It's on netflix.

9/10
