The Promise

Dare I say it's a Turkey? Was hoping to learn about the Armenian Genocide but will have to watch a documentary instead.

Knights of Cups

Hugely disappointing. Especially after watching Badlands. Perfume mood commercial. Nothing in it for me.

Widely rated as a good movie but didn't work for me. Here's some more interesting Mayan decline narrative.

The Yellow Sea - HD Official Trailer

It doesn't matter how good a movie is, if it needs to stab people to death for most of it, it's not my idea of entertainment. A shame really as there are some strong character roles in this movie and the photography in Yanjin is super gritty.

The Duke of Burgundy

Blimey, who knew Lesbians could be so tedious.

Book of Eli

Yikes, not another apocalyptic movie. Great art direction and not unpleasant but still cheese on top. Denzel Washington is reliable but Mila Kunis is vapid.

Room (2015)

Nope. Not working for me.

The Happening

Holy Crap that's an hour and a half of life I'll never get back again.

Lame. Though Hoffman remains one of the great all time actors. Shame it was his last movie and I don't believe that overdose from heroin nonsense.

The Royal Tenenbaums Trailer (2001)

Good lord, this is even less funny than the first time round I watched it. What a Turkey.

Urge

I learned that my cousin who is a wonderful human being really like one of my favourite movies called "A Dangerous Method". Based on this I downloaded a list of his recommended movies and so far they've all been turkeys. (Sorry Matt). 

To be fair Pierce Brosnan is terrific in this movie though there is a hint of homage to the key villain/Satanic figure in Sexy Beast. 

The Little Drummer Girl

Ugh. Not only is this movie to shit to watch it's about Israeli shitness. Zionist Jews confused between the occupiers and the occupied. It couldn't be more shitness.

Would You Rather Movie Clip

Kind of like Truth or Dare with a cash incentive. Terrible movie. True Meconium.

Videodrome - David Cronenberg

A solid performance by Debbie Harry doesn't compensate for James Woods terrible acting. The movie is only interesting when seen through the lens of its alleged Illuminati symbolism and preprogramming. Curiously the movie anticipated the primary producers and consumers of rape porn. Japan.

David Lynch | Dune

I remember being underwhelmed watching Dune as a teenager when it came out and it's even worse today. Hard to believe but it's 7 years older than Star Wars and about 70 years behind in effects.

I thought I might enjoy picking up on David Lynch's Direction of the movie but to be honest he's totally out of his depth. The acting sucks and the props are often comical. 

The books though are very trippy.

For Whom The Bells Toll

I recall the book "For Whom The Bells Toll" lying around the house as a youngster and I read it but don't have too many memories apart from Greek partisans who fought against the Nazis and whom I later learnt were the first victims of the CIA installing the same Fascists they had been fighting against when the war was over as the "New" enemy was communism.

All this goes to show what a load of shit war is and how the State just uses people to keep on to their wealth.

Anyway Ingrid Bergman is an 'off-the-charts' boyish looking beauty in this movie, and the old mother who looks after the partisans is a character but the rest of the movie is a honker. It's full of cliché rough types who need a good shower and some fluffy towels instead of living like armpits.
