Changed my mind, just watched again both movies and i enjoyed more Conan, The Destroyer than Conan, The Barbarian! Now to the remake!
couldn’t finish the remake of Conan, it sucks hard. They killed the ambient and the character.

The Last Airbender? I expected a good movie…M. Night’s best twist yet.
My gal and I were both sick the weekend before last, so there was a bunch of movie watching.
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer - Really enjoyed it. Michael Rooker played the role very well and I felt sympathetic for the guy. Kinda slow and gritty, but I think that worked towards making the whole thing feel more “realistic”, to an extent. The fights/kill scenes especially felt brutally realistic.
Maniac - It’s been in my queue for a while, but made a point to finally watch it after hearing talk of a remake in the works (starring Elijah Wood. WTF?). Serial killer goes around scalping hookers and talking to his dead mother. Oh yeah, I can see Frodo doing that convincingly. Interesting movie anyhow, some good gore/kills. And it starred Joe Spinell, who you’d recognize as the mob boss from Rocky and Cicci from The Godfather.
The Captains - William Shatner went around interviewing the other actors who’ve played captains in the Star Trek tv universe (Patrick Stewart, Bakula, Kate Mulgrew,Avery Brooks, and Chris Pine). It ended up being a drawn-out excuse for Shatner to talk about himself at every turn, a kind of roundabout self-documentary or something. Didn’t really enjoy it at all. I can never really tell if Shatner’s consistently playing a caricature of himself (like Stephen Colbert) or if he really is that self-absorbed.
Re-watched The Private Eyes - Don Knotts and Tim Conway are two bumbling detectives investigating a murder in a creepy mansion. It wasn’t as funny or as scary as I remember, of course, I was probably six when I saw it last.
The Perfect Host, as recommended a few pages back - Really liked this flick for all the reasons already mentioned. But it should’ve ended about 15 minutes sooner. No spoilers, but I didn’t need that last bit of plot or “character development.”
The Shrine - A journalist goes to Poland to follow a lead on a string of kidnappings. Started slow for the first 45 minutes, but the last half is pretty good. Things take a cool supernatural spin.
Adam Ferrara: Funny as Hell - Recently popped up as New On Netflix and reminded me that I enjoyed his stuff (first heard of him years back on Opie and Anthony). Funny guy, lots of great bits about relationships and family.
I Am Number Four - Enjoyed it. Not a bad PG-13 teenager action flick. Timothy Olyphant didn’t have a huge role, but made me want to check out more of his work (I’m usually on the fence. Liked him in The Crazies, didn’t care for him in Live Free or Die Hard). Pretty cool concept (aliens with different powers hiding on earth from other aliens trying to kill them). Felt like it wanted to be a series, but I can’t see it sustaining many without getting repetitive.
Hanger - This is the worst movie I have ever seen, and I’ve seen Toxic Avenger Part 2, Highlander 3, and Rubber (Rubber: No reason - YouTube). But Hanger… is… the… worst. From the description: “The now-grown survivor of a bungled back-alley abortion who returns to punish a pimp for forcing his mother into the procedure.”
Graphic coat-hanger abortion scene, man-on-man roofie rape scene, over-the-top character stereotypes with terrible make-up jobs (like they were trying to be intentionally campy like Toxic Avenger, but failed horribly). I really can’t explain why I sat through it all. Must’ve been the train wreck effect. I just couldn’t look away.
Young Guns 1& 2- saw bits of part 1 years ago.
Watched both recently. Decent films (I’m not much of a western fan), was odd to see Sheen and Estevez play western roles, but they did a decent job. Sunderland was great.
Comedians- Louis CK, hilarious

Not counting actual child murders its hard for me to feel Hate for anyone I don’t know. M. Night Shymalan has changed all of that. I would have enjoyed the movie more if he came out for the 1st 5 min of the movie and said -
"Hello, you all know me. I had made 1 or 2 good flicks, then I had some really shitty bombs. Please understand the Movie you are about to see is something they paid me TONS OF CASH to make. I never seen the original series or talk to the original writers. I was half drunk while filming and I think many of the Child actors are the children of the producers.
Thank you and I’m sorry.

That does look pretty good.
I’ve read that Kevin Smith’s “last directorial film” Hit Somebody is pretty much the same premise and he was originally writing the part for Sean William Scott, but after Scott signed up for Goon, Smith ended up going with a small-time guy, one of the dude’s he used in Red State.

Dude, Young Guns is a classic.
“You guys! You guys! You guys see the size of that chicken?”
One of the first movies I can remember feeling really sad about seeing characters die in.
The Call of Cthulu - supposed to be the most faithful H.P Lovecraft adaptation ever filmed. Turns out that it was a modern fan film shot as a silent movie (black and white, subtitles , expressionist acting) that got a commercial release through word of mouth. Only 48 minutes long, it was harder to follow than a genuine silent feature (although I understand the reasoning for making it a period piece).
Not a fan, but the soundtrack was fantastic.

Just saw “The Horseman”, an Australian film featuring an excellent Peter Marshall in the lead as a father hunting down the dudes responsible for his daughter’s death. As a dad myself, this film was emotionally gripping throughout.
Probably the best revenge film I’ve ever seen.

Just finished watching this based on your recommendation and I have to say:God.Damn. That was as gripping as they come. Marshall was phenomenal. Excellent movie. Thanks.

If you haven’t already, watch Deadwood. The entire series just drips testosterone. Olyphant is great in it, but Ian McShane steals the show from him completely as Al Swearengen. The show has the best dialogue I’ve ever seen on a TV show.
I’ve never been so disappointed when a show was canceled. It only got 3 glorious seasons, and fucking True Blood is already filming season 5. That just ain’t right.
