Doomsday. It was like Resident Evil, 28 Days Later, Land of the Dead, Escape from New York, Braveheart, Gladiator, Mad Max, and Aliens in a blender. Except, you know, shitty. Neil Marshall is terrible.

I have so much respect for Mel Gibson for making Apocalypto. This movie has some serious balls.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Man, Love was a huge disappointment. I kind of feel like Gaspar Noe is going to spend the rest of his career chasing Enter the Void. Where do you go after a movie like that?

I felt like Enter the Void really dragged, but was very impressed with the first 45 minutes.

If you thought that dragged, just wait until you see this one. Sheesh.

Backtrack - good ghost story, nice slow burner
Fireproof - as subtle as a sledge hammer, but good message

Hail Caesar: it was an enjoyable period piece with a movie studio backdrop allowing for some aesthetically pleasing scenes. This movie made me realize that I really enjoy Channing Tatum.

I'm pretty upset they cut out Dolph Lundgren's scene(s).

The Revenant.

Well, gotta say i was impressed. I loved it. Its the first time since Amores Perros that i really like a movie from this guy. I thought it was beautifully shot and crafted, some amazing moments ( the horse falling from that cliff) and some good moments all along.

Great movie.

I rewatched Planet Of The Apes today for the first time in like 20 years. I remember at 10/11 being underwhelmed, thinking it was "boring"; definitely too young for it then. But, unfortunately, I feel like I'm a little too old for it now--it's reflections on authority and science/religion would make it a great text for an intro to lit class, but I've crossed over into a point in my life where approaching absolutism with suspicion is a default setting, not a revelation.

But the music in the film is killer, though.
