Metal Reviews

personally i've always been a Jasmin guy.

Revenger's Tragedy - Renaissance play meets Guy Ritchie meets too much wackyness. Fun but lots of questionable stuff.

King Arthur - What a stupid movie.

Cool Hand Luke - Great stuff. What a god Paul Newman was.

Jackass 3D: fun but easily the worst of the 3, and the 3D doesn't add much (on the other hand, slow motion does in several sketches). enjoyable but certainly not worth the extortionate price of a 3D film.

Babylon A.D. - Not bad, but the story is quite ridiculous.

Billy Elliot... again. I'm not sure why I like this movie so much, but it is damn good. 8.5/10.

The Social Network - awesome! great dialogues, great soundtrack and the business, man, the business!
i had read a ton of articles on FB/Zuckerberg and still it grabbed me until the end.

Even Justin Timberlake was great!

You say 'even', but the man isn't a bad actor at all in anything else I've seen him in. And, obviously, King of Pop and all.

It's the first movie I've seen with him acting in it, so my expectations were quite low.

Movie was fucking lame. It was well done but there just isn't enough in that story to make a two hour movie and keep a person interested. It was a lot of drama over nothing.

So basically Facebook in a nutshell?

Oh excepting the reality that it is the single largest void of productive time on the planet?

Think how many people would have graduated college, got that job, cured cancer, etc., if it weren't for Facebook?

it is a waste of productivity. for every good use of facebook there are 10 bad ones, and they keep coming up with more. but you can't deny that a HUGE company appeared almost out of the blue and this one happens to have a story behind it with some very, um, different people.

i guess it's also a small portrait of the whole silicon valley/technology/venture capital thing and say what you will fact is massive modern companies doing business in ways we didn't think were possible only 10-15 years ago came up in this sector/region.

Bought The Expendables and Inception on Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack and have since watched both.

Good movies.

The Great Mouse Detective

What a badass movie.

classic

I don't know how many times I watched that movie when I was growing up.

yeah, the great mouse detective, or O Rato Basílio as it's known here, kicks ass.

Salt - Not awful, but pretty incoherent plot that made very little sense. Was rather drunk when I watched it, which didn't help.
