That and I freakin love Malcolm McDowell and I thought he was the perfect person to replace Donald Pleasence.

Whose brilliant idea was it to have some bored guy play Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street remake? Of course I knew something was up when I saw Michael Bay in the credits.

The movie is crap, but I actually like the actor. After watching the Watchmen movie, I could only imagine his voice when I re-read the graphic novel. He IS Rorschach.

The actor was great it was their stupid choice to make him more serious and menacing that made it boring.

I mean he's not a bad actor, but in this movie he sounds like he's the one about to fall asleep half the time.

The Congress I really loved this. It puts a nice dystopian twist on the reflexive film and I rate it with movies like The Player and Adaptation (although it's not quite as brilliant as Adaptation) for that reason. I can't really go into detail without ruining it, but what I can say is that the first act is a little rocky, then it leads into some really fascinating visual and conceptual ideas. Go into it blind, oh and the soundtrack is amazing.

Oh ja, Harvey Keitel and Danny Huston were especially great.
It's in Amazon Prime, btw...
