Some films I've seen recently, and my reviews.
Conan the Barbarian: Dont bother. Dreadful. Not quite dreadful enough to be good because its dreadful; just dreadful.
Immortals: Dont expect more than some Ok fight scenes and you should be entertained enough.
Primer: Good god what a hard film to watch. And so $%&#ing awesome. I love it. I'm not quite sure what happened, but its brilliant. Very original and extremely intelligently written film. I'm also pretty sure its budget was lower than the cost of my main rig (though it doesnt show, and it doesnt seem like it needs more in the least; its not that kind of film - you'll have to see it to understand).
The thing prequel: Not disappointing. It doesnt have the visceral gratuity of the first (largely CGI Vs real effects, I think), and it lacks the claustrophobic tension of the first, and some scenes are practically copy and pasted, but its watchable enough.
Cowboys and Aliens: really surprisingly awesome. I'm impressed that it manages to pull off the what the title implies without being at all goofy. Very standard issue in its overall feel, major beats and general predictability, but all round it deploys default action and scifi tropes with a gimmicky twist quite enjoyably.
Thank you for smoking. Tries to be cleverer than it really is. Pretty funny though.
