Resident Evil:Retribution 3D it had great action, character cameos, and the special effects in 3D were very stunning and well done. I liked the last one Afterlife as well as the original three movies and I enjoyed this one just as much if not more than Afterlife. I can't wait till the next movie in the series. 8)

So I watched Drive last night. Excellent movie. Honestly surprised that I had never heard of it, especially since it only came out last year. It's on Netflix, so I really recommend you guys watch it if you can.

It has a little something for everyone. Disfunctional family of screwups that screw themselves over, creepy corrupt lawman, an abandoned business with a few arcade cabs and a pinball machine, breasts and bush for the guys, man ass for the visually orientated ladies and the other guys, K Fried C abuse, hilarious dick jokes, classic vehicles in their natural state, family dinners, abandoned theme parks, and wonderfully disturbing performances.

Oh wait, I guess there are no romantic comedy elements, orangutans, yo mama jokes, fruit bats, buddy cop companions, or triumphant high scores.

Good movie, but be prepared for a roller coaster. Not a movie that you really want to watch multiple times though, at least to me. And I say this liking other disturbing movies like Audition, Ichi the Killer, and Oldboy.
I've been wanting to see this for a while. Originally, it was called something besides Killer Joe. I don't exactly remember what.

It does look a little off, but lately I've been watching some weird ones.

I remember seeing it in theaters and that scene in the bathroom caught everyone off guard with several exclamations of HOLY SHIT. It was awesome.

Grabbers - this is like Tremors + Critters, but set on a rural island off the coast of Ireland. Richard Coyle does a good job in the lead role as whisky-soaked police officer O'Shea, and the film has a strong supporting cast, including Ruth Bradly who plays a straight-laced, career-driven police officer from the mainland. The film sets off at an amiable pace, building good tension heading into the closing act, which ultimately turns out to be more farce than horror. An entertaining film all the same, with some good laughs and a few shock scares throughout. 6/10

Men in Black III - surprisingly fun, certainly better than the second film and Josh Brolin does such a fantastic job as young K. Good popcorn film. 6/10

The Wicker Man - I've seen this film numerous times, but Edward Woodward's performance still impresses me greatly. His character burns with righteous indignation, as he doggedly searches for a missing girl among an isolated pagan community that seemingly don't want her found, or to even admit she ever existed. The film is shot beautifully for the most part, and is paced very well, leading towards the film's iconic conclusion. Some aspects come across as rather dated, none more-so than Brit Ekland's late-night seduction attempt of Woodward's character, but with a powerful story, and excellent performances from both Woodward and the legendary Christopher Lee, The Wickerman remains a horror classic. 8/10

Touch of Evil (1958) - glad I finally got around to watching this, as I loved every minute of it. The direction and cinematography are unquestionably amazing, the story of a corrupt cop's downfall brought to view in stunning high-contrast black and white and highlighted by some wonderful camera-work, most notably the long-take tracking shot for the opening scene. While my expectations of an intriguing noir thriller were certainly met, I was surprised by the real depth of character to even the ancillary parts. You get a real sense of motive and history between many of the characters and no one seems like they're there just to provide a plot-point (well, maybe Janet Leigh, who at times feels placed entirely to be used against Heston, but also is illustrative of his characters sense of justice and morals, in that it doesn't really occur to him that someone might use his wife as leverage over him). But though Heston & Leigh's names adorn the marquee, their characters are only tools to engage the larger story at play; the decline of Oron Welles' character, revered police captain Hank Quinlan, whose alcoholism, bitterness and remorse have clouded the lines between crime and justice in a Mexican border town. Seeing Quinlan battle against the change Heston's character represents, Welles successfully paints him in both a vile and sympathetic light as we learn about Quinlan's past through sergeant Pete Menzies (in a great turn from Joseph Calleia) and gypsy Tanya (played by the ever-striking Marlene Dietrich), who reveal a side of Quinlan no longer on display. Their evident affection and, in Menzies case, admiration for the man, in such stark contrast to the man presented to Heston and the viewer, make the finale all the more powerful. Finally, it would be remiss of me not to at least mention the dark and exotic, sinister and sleazy score by Henry Mancini, which wonderfully sets the tone throughout. A perfect compliment to an astounding piece of filmmaking. 9/10
