Ponderous Personal Projects

I finally managed to watch the whole thing without falling asleep, and let me tell you one thing: it’s clearly the worst Star Trek movie ever.  Star Trek is supposed to be really boring and tedious, filled with annoying aliens.  This is none of those things.  It’s brilliant! Lots of action, pretty ladies, Robocops, Dredds, Sherlocks, Avatars, non-drama drama, overdone lens flare…  Highly recommended. Unless you love Star Trek, I guess.

Once again, I fell asleep.  But this time I think I got a little further. I promise, it’s not the film’s fault.

Ok, so life got in the way for a couple of days.  Sometimes that happens.  I’m surprisingly okay with this, but I promise to keep it to a minimum.  Today I watched “the new” Star Trek. It’s a time travelling episode…

The thriller:	The Driller
Score:	3/6
Drink of the day:	Milk

The story of Marty McFartypants and his fabulous flatulence, used both for high C’s at the opera and as a rocket engine and I wasn’t really paying attention.

Title:	Thunderpants
Director:	Pete Hewitt
The dice says:	1
Drink of the day:	Old Jamaica

Ole Lund Kierkegaard’s excellent Gummi Tarzan in moving image-form.  The book was better.

Title:	Gummi Tarzan

Lasting impression:	the witch looking like a shipping container
Score:	3/6
Drink of the day:	Coca Cola

Double feature.  Too tired to write. Both good films.  Watch them.  Good night.

 I didn’t have high hopes for this one, but boy, was my skepticism ever turned to, well, to enthusiasm?  Answer: Yes! Attack The Block is a good old-fashioned alien horror flick echoing long lost terrors of The Thing, War Of The Worlds and Cujo, in which a pack of criminal teenagers get chased by a pack of murderous space monkeys for an hour and a half, amidst a healthy helping of blood, guts and fireworks. Marvellous!

Title:	Attack The Block
Director:	Joe Cornish
For the scrapbook:	The teeth!
Score:	8/10
Drink of the day:	…I forgot to hydrate!

The Saw-franchise takes an unexpected turn for the worse with Saw 3D. I’m a bit of a splatter aficionado, so liked the previous six movies, but this is like a clip show.  And what’s with the cheesy gore?  Those are clearly saussages ripping out of that lady’s belly at the start.  Were the other six movies this cheesy?  I don’t think so.  Maybe I should watch them all again…

“I watched it in 2D.”

Title:	Saw 3D: The Final Chapter
Director:	Kevin Greutert
Memorable moment:	The previous six movies
Score:	3/6
Drink of the day:	O’Boy

The lip theory still holds.

The story of father Oliver O’Grady, serial child molestor, and how the catholic church thinks not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Recommended for all who feel they need a little more anger in their life.

Title:	Deliver us from evil
Director:	Amy J. Berg
Score:	25 kids and counting
Drink of the day:	Fizzy lager
