I watched Godzilla a couple of hours ago - utter fucking wank
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
Watched 'Extinction'. Bit of a blurry obscurity in the zombie genre and often flat, but somehow...it worked. Granted I watched it over two nights, but still.
Also managed to FINALLY catch Unforgiven...now that was a great work.
Watched Frozen a week ago but still have the songs right in the front of my mind. So fucking annoying!!!

Just watched 'La Horde' from 2009...holy fookin shit that was a non stop intense one!! Couldn't understand a word but speaks for itself
Eye in the Sky
Directed by Yau Nai-Hoi
Produced by Johnnie To
Starring
Simon Yam Tat Wah
Tony Leung Ka-fai (aka Big Tony)
Kate Tsui
Maggie Siu
Lam Suet
In this 2007 Hong Kong movie, Yam and Tsui play surveillance operatives on the trail of a gang of professional robbers led by Leung. Both Yam and Leung, veteran Hong Kong A-list stars, were great in this. It was Yau’s first directorial effort, working often on scripts for Johnnie To, and what a good movie he directed! Yau Nai-hoi won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Director.
Kate Tsui, a former Miss Hong Kong starred in her first movie and she won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best New Actress. She was terrific in this movie. She is a rookie who joins the SU (Surveillance Unit) – their missions are all surveillance/tailing suspects etc. They work as an intricate team tailing suspects, all supervised by Simon Yam.
Big Tony is the mastermind of a gang of professional thieves who knock off jewelry stores. Cold, calculating, smart, and ruthless, he always plans out the heist to the exact second, timing Police response times, etc.
Suspenseful throughout, this police procedural/crime film delivers. There were small touches here and there that really endeared me to the movie like Simon Yam telling a joke to relieve boredom while canvassing an area awaiting the appearance of Lam Suet. Also Lam, great character actor, turned in a solid performance. Additionally, Maggie Siu, a veteran actress, as the foul-mouthed supervisor of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau which the SU is part of, was awesome as well.
NO SPOILER: There were 2 points in the movie that were clichéd … the first point in the movie, I think should’ve been done the other way, but it was good that it went the way it did. The 2nd point was cliché all the way and was satisfying.
I generally recommend any Johnnie To directed movie as well as any movie from his production company, Milkway Image. Even though To didn’t direct Eye in the Sky, any Milkway Image movie will have him overseeing.
I highly recommend this movie.

Watched Limitless starring Bradley Cooper and De Niro. A struggling writer takes a pill that enables him to access 100 percent of his brain abilities to becomes a financial wizard, but it also puts him in a new world with lots of dangers.
