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.

Imagine if he did and Robert Englund came after him in his dreams?

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.

Hella cast!

Oh ja, Harvey Keitel and Danny Huston were especially great.

It's in Amazon Prime, btw...

Sweet. All kinds of great recommendations from you lately, Thanks!

My boss, who's a huge movie buff, loved Bullhead too.

The Congress! I've been waiting for years for them to finally adapt classic Polish s-f "Kongres futurologiczny" by Stanisław Lem. And when they did, I missed it completely. Will have to catch up.
I just wonder how faithful it is to the original, but I guess I'll find out once I see it ;)

And so, the other day, I watched Angel's Egg. It's easily the best Anime film I've ever seen, and one of the few movies period to match the experience of watching Eraserhead for the first time. I could go into pretentious mode and talk for hours about it, and how I interpreted it, but that wouldn't do it justice. It's just the kind of movie that you have to see for yourself.
