  • iSteve 2013

    ★★ Watched 20 Apr, 2013

    Yeah this was pretty terrible. It's 90% fictitious so I don't understand why it wasn't funnier.
    Props for Funny or Die for experimenting with feature-length videos, however it would have been better had they edited it down to 30 mins and tightened up the humour.

  • Source Code 2011

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 01 Mar, 2013

    This is my kind of time-travel movie. Actually this is my kind of movie period. Although this is a re-watch of Source Code, it still consumed my mind for the days following.
    Ironically, even watching the movie through is kind of a re-watch, due to the continuous repetition of the train scene with slight differences. It's kind of like Groundhog Day in that way.

  • Senna 2011

    ★★★★½ Watched 11 Mar, 2012

    When Ayrton Senna describes winning a race like taking a powerful drug, you really believe him. Race after race, as he stands on the first place podium pouring champagne over himself, he has a look of pure ecstasy on his face. He loved Motorsport and he loved winning.

  • Aliens 1986

    ★★★★★ Watched 30 Oct, 2011

    This movie is so great, I'm amazed I never saw it growing up. Modern action movies can't keep my attention like this one could, and this was the extended edition. I'm not sure what was left out in the theatrical cut, but each scene in this seemed essential.
    Also, now I finally understand the context of "they mostly come at night... mostly".
