Watched Thor last night with the missus. Apart from the Mario World-like ubersheen of Asgard there was a lot to like especially the performances of Chris Hemsworth as the titular character and a very good turn by Tom Hiddleston as the dastardly Loki. It never took itself to seriously, which is what also worked for Iron Man (sadly Iron Man 2 went up it's own backside) I thought, and the scenes with Thor getting used to life on earth as a mortal where hilarious. Obviously the script was geared towards the forthcoming Avengers movie, but if you had this in mind then the finale and coda were fine, but if you weren't aware of this you might easily have felt a bit like, ' is that it?' Overall great fun packed with jokes and good performances that is ever so slightly marred by garish CGI. Almost forgot that I didn't recognise Tadanobu Asabo and had to IMDB him - man that dude's looking old

Hangover 2...bit grimmer than 1st, liked up to a point... The Escapees...this is the Rollin film i mentioned in the THC2 thread. l liked it. ok, its nae one of his languid dreamy ones (it reminded me of loach at one point) but if it helps me "see the light" im sure no one will mind...nice interview with the man as well and i DO want a look at Iron Rose, those stills were smart! Exorcism (Franco) watched with comm, SPEAK UP JESS, aside from that i like his attitude.... Psycho...this was on ITV3 last night...so forsaking american dad, i sat back and enjoyed this one more time, never been surpassed, still imitated. the Arbogast death really stood out for me this time, chilling in its banality etc. even if it was semi ruined by incredibly inappropriately placed ad breaks (yes, i know buy the bloody thing...) |

I hope Polanski makes another occult thriller to make it a loose trilogy! (with Rosemary's Baby).

Watched my Heavy Metal Parking Lot DVD yesterday. A DVD that never gets old! It's funny to see how Judas Priest fans were back then and comparing them to myself Also watched the special features and the other short films on the disc including Monster Truck Parking Lot, Neil Diamond Parking Lot and Harry Potter Parking Lot - all of which are brilliant!
