More good movies we've seen.

The preview trailers on these IFC Films DVDs always show something interesting. Now I want to check of Five Minutes of Heaven, Dead Snow, Pontypool, and The Human Centipede.

I liked "Pontypool", it had an interesting twist to the whole zombie thing.

I really wanted to like Dead Snow. I mean, Fuck! Zombie Nazis, what could be better? But it was just too formulaic and boring.

I watched House of Sand and Fog again. Devastating film.

Fuck, fucking yeah!
This is without doubt the best superhero movie I've seen just far.

The film begins exactly like the first one. A young Magneto is seperated from his parents at the concentration camp. He calls out for them and the gates to the camp bend to the astonishment of the guards until he is knocked out with the butt of a rifle.
Meanwhile, a young Xavier catches a young Mystique trying to rob food in his house in New York and sees through her disguise. He reveals he, too, is a mutant and a bond is formed.
Magneto is taken to a doctor who encourages him to use his ability. He realises he has to make Magneto angry and shoots his mother in front of him to unleash his power.

15 or so years later and Magneto is on a mission to track down Herr Doctor and kill him. Xavier and Mystique are in Oxford university, Xavier a promising student of genetics.
Like Jesus the story between youth and adulthood is skipped over. This is par course for this fast paced action movie. The director doesn't bore us with the details. We already know these characters and even though there are flashbacks much of the movie is left for us to fill in the gaps given enough information. Yet so much is packed into its two hours it feels like longer yet never boring.
The X-Men are put right in the middle of the Cold War and Cuban missile crisis yet these outside events only serve as a premise for the real story. This film is all about the X-Men, it is not a political commentary or historical drama. Everything is as it shoud be.

This movie has everything. Friendship, rivalry. Triumph, adversity. Betrayal and loyalty. Humour and warmth. Dramaz for everyone.
Add to that Kevin Bacon as the villian and the best cameo yet seen in any of the Marvel films and you are, like the unbelievers of Romans 1:20, without excuse if you don't see this film.

I really need to see this... and soon.

The Human Centipede sounds fucking gross

[Animavore]

The Human Centipede is awesome sauce. I won't hear a bad word against it.

The 5 yr old really wants to see this, it's a 12A rating right?

[Animavore]

I didn't even look. I presume it is. There's nothing in it unsuitable for a child. Plus it's too awesome to miss out on.

Not convinced..

She really wants to go, has a bit of an X-Men obsession at the moment, but the other half said it looks shit so I may have to sit through it with her.

[Animavore]

The other half is talking out his arse. I just checked anyway and it is 12A.

Thanks for the spoilers, Ani.

[Animavore]

Which spoilers. I just told you the premise in the first ten minutes and nothing else after that.

You just spoiled the first ten minutes of the movie for me.
