Prometheus 2012
Prometheus is a film with many questions, and not so many answers. And you know what? That's how I like my movies. A story where your mind and imagination can fill in any gaps in the story and provide a whole new angle to every individual viewer.
This is not a perfect film. But it is a fucking marvellous one.
It is the best looking Sci-fi film since Blade Runner. The costumes, sets and scenery are up there with cinemas…

No, seriously, they don't.

Die Hard 1988
by Colin the dude 19 Dec, 2012 14 A simple fact: action movies have been neutered, half-baked, half-written and served cold for children with Attention Deficit Disorder. Die Hard has aged into a lost art. It has a wholly original, unpredictable screenplay, crisp with sharp dialogue matched with badass line delivery through the mouths of believable human characters (This sentence alone cannot be attributed to a single modern action film). There is a tight plot that gradually escalates, accumulating ZERO gaps in logic equaling to not a single…

Silent Hill: Revelation 2012
Watched by Grimbo 03 Nov, 2012 This is how Hellraiser would look, if it was made by a 14 year old prick.

Wild at Heart 1990
Wow
Just Wow.
While this is not the 2nd, not the 3rd, hell not even the 7th time I've viewed this film, after 8 times I'm still amazed by this Lynch classic.
I'm a huge fan of David Lynch's work and this was one of the last films of his I was yet to see and boy am I glad I saved it til last.
It's definitely one of his more accessible films (that isn't the elephant man or the…

The Thing 1982
100% pure horror.
100% complete paranoia.
100% practical effects.
100% proof that horror doesn't need CGI.
100% inimitable.
100% Carpenter
100% timeless. (it's 30 years old!!)
100% terrifying. Still.
100% visual masterpiece.
100% mold breaking.
1000% One of my favourite horror films ever made.
p.s. Math was never my strong point. -
Total Recall 2012
Watched by Grimbo 01 Sep, 2012 4 Souless remake that ignores all the great things from the original:-
No Mars
No Ricther
No Benny
No Kuato
No one liners
I heard that Kate Beckinsale steals the movie, she doesn't, she's as generic as everything else in this, and to waste Bryan Cranston is a sin! -
Dogtooth 2010
Watched by fizzybenilyn 30 Aug, 2012 Utterly pretentious, utterly vacant, utterly boring.

Project X 2012
Watched by Snorfle 07 Jul, 2012 2 This will make you hate:
(a) yourself for watching it
(b) every entitled asshole character and America in general
(c) the world for letting it exist; the state of humanity
(d) ALL OF THE ABOVEIf you like this movie--even "ironically"--you need to be fucking destroyed.

The Dictator 2012
Watched by Luke Parry 16 May, 2012 The Dictator tries to be funny, it tries to be shocking, and it tries to have some assemblance of a plot. However it never attains any of the above. Just to be clear: this is no Borat. Borat struggled to create a narrative, but its comedy, and shock factor were its biggest attributes, and the film worked really well. The Dictator tries to take everything that made Borat so popular and cram it into a scripted film. It doesn't work.…

Casa De Mi Padre 2012
Watched by Matthew Chmiel 20 Mar, 2012 2 The only positive thing I have to say about the film is that I hope Will Ferrell drops dead from AIDS.
