That's My Boy- US 2012 5/10. I don't care what anyone says. This film is funny. Sure it's bad taste, sentimental and pointless. But it's still funny!
. Nothing more to say.
All Night Long- Japan 1992 6/10. Heard a lot about this series of films. Many people saying they are some of the nastiest and most extreme revenge films ever. Very nihilistic and morbid film about 3 teenagers that witness a murder, and unite because of this and become friends. It gets even worse for them from there. Very violent. Very depressing. Still, well paced and well acted-(until the last 5 minutes which has terrible over-acting). Definately worth a watch.
Taken 2- US 2012 2/10. Liam Neeson hamming it up for 90 minutes and milking the cash cow. Absolutely terrible film. That daughter has to be at least 30, and he is worried about her having a boyfriend? What?
. And the milkshakes at the end? What? The only funny bit is when he delivers the classic Taken line, except this time instead of "You are going to be taken" it's "Your Mother and I are going to be taken" and even that's only funny because of how stupid it is.
The Cow- Iran 1969 9/10 A tragic and moving film about a man whose only true possession is his cow. After leaving the village for a short while, the cow dies. The other villagers try to cover it up and tell him it ran away, but he knows this isn't true, and he just can't handle it. Distraught by the loss of his only true friend-(he is married, but well, that doesn't seem like the helathiest marriage), he starts to believe that he IS the cow after having a nervous breakdown. Very simple, but very moving. Beautifully shot as well. Definately worth checking out.
