    Braindead's movie reviews

    Lincoln Lawyer.

    Yawn. I soon lost interest. Didn't care what happened. Didn't care about the characters. My rating 1/10 (if that)

    Never let me go.

    A first rate movie. An exploration of the human psyche, the best and the worst in human nature. Illustrates how evil can flourish due to: it's banality, self interest and indifference together with an accepted view that some people are worth more than others (perhaps an extension of the mentality of those who refer to others as "trailer trash"). Also illustrates the good in human nature, empathy, understanding and so forth.

    One does care about the fate of a most engaging heroine. Best to leave you to see her fate for yourself. My rating 10/10

    Trying to sound more cultured?
    Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
    Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

        The Mechanic

        Take a pillow so you can sleep through it, and an alarm clock to wake you up when it ends.

        The movie is about an emotionally stunted psychopathic loon killing people for a living.

        As a corny Hollywood action movie you expect lots of mindless violence, splosions and no story line. There is nowhere near enough senseless violence, too few splosions and not enough of the landscape is destroyed. There is an attempt at a story lne, a grotesquesly failed attempt.

            You have a problem with Charles Bronson?
            John Brown did nothing wrong.

              I found Tangled to be boringly predictable and far too full of cliches. It lacked the charm of previous Disney fairy-tale adaptations as everything felt so forced. A special note of the computer animations. Disney animations in the past were generally known for their high quality and beautifully drawn scenery and characters. However, with computer animations, everything pretty much is the same style. This tends to be because anything more realistic falls into the uncanny valley and anything less realistic looks cheap and outdated. Thus, it was difficult for Disney film using computer animation to stand out like they did in hand-drawn ones. While the characters could have been cut and paste into any Dreamworks film, I will say that the forests were very well done, as if pulled out of their old animation department and put seamlessly into the computerized world.

                I guess you didn't like Rango either. BTW, Tangled has gotten excellent reviews.

                  I haven't seen Rango. Whether Tangled has gotten excellent reviews or not does not change my opinion of it.

                    Considering seeing Source Code today. I'm not expecting much, which means that my expectations should at least be satisfied.

                        One of those mind fukc movies. I was not as excited about the movie as the reviews were.

                          The girl who kicked the hornets nest.

                          A very good movie with unexpected twists and turns. The best movie in this trilogy, I think. If you liked the other two you should like this. The actors were good and the story was able to keep up the suspense until the end. The movie has a touch of strangeness and a bit of darkness about it.

                            Limitless

                            A writer discovers a top-secret drug which bestows him with super human abilities.

                            not bad. but if you knew you could take a drug that made you smart but if ever stop taking would kill you. would you take it?
                            Let down ending.

                              Limitless

                              The hero seemed to be a deadbeat who a drug that transformed him into an egotistical materialistic wanker. A very unlikeable hero who really should have been thrown under a bus. He took a drug that would make him super-intelligent but would kill him when he stopped taking it. So he figured out how to get by without the drug BUT all the others who took the drug died from withdrawal. It seemed like some teenybopper fantasy world.

                              BTW It was a bad ending. Should have thrown him off the Empire State Building, head first.

                              Verdict: better than vomiting all over yourself


                              PS Can anyone review Source Code please? It starts at my local cinema next week but I'm wondering if I should bother. Sounds corny.
