    It’s crazy how the slo-mo scenes are so beautiful amidst all the violence. Film looks stunning, has solid turns from all of the cast (Lena Heady is particularly vicious as the head baddie), and pulls of being incredibly entertaining even though it’s comic origin isn’t a fave of mine (I find the helmets kinda goofy looking).

  • Life of Brian

    So this rating might be blasphemy for some, but after how much I loved The Holy Grail I figured this would be at least, you know, funny.

    You’d never know from this rating that I actually like Pete, and I’ve enjoyed his shit over the years, but this is so terrible and painful to watch. 

    I think I heard as he went through/is going through rehab (is he still in treatment? I dunno) he used standup to work through shit and see if his new material appealed to live audiences. If that’s true he should have maybe had a few more shows first before taping this. 

    This special…

    ★★★★

    Keanu Reeves has the greatest line delivery throughout this surfing/action/drama hybrid. It’s not my fave Kathryn Bigelow flick (that title belongs to Zero Dark Thirty) but it’s probably her most over-the-top and yet still highly watchable and enjoyable.

    Helps that the cast fully commits to the crazy (John C. McGinley and Gary Busey are particularly delightful) and that there is great chemistry between leads Reeves and Patrick Swayze

    Happy I splurged on the steelbook even though I have probably sat…
