X-Men: The Last Stand

 
Every moment in this film can be described with one of the adjectives awkward, clumsy or oafish.
Charlotte didn't understand why I kept pointing at the screen and laughing, she felt it was just as good as number 2. A step backwards for her critiquing skills.
 

X-Men 2 [X2]

 
Bursts at the seams with plot flecked with moments where everybody gets a chance to do something cool.

Crawl

 
Excellent use of silence elevates Coen Brothers pastiche.

Yo-Yo Girl Cop [Sukeban Deka: Kôdo nêmu = Asamiya Saki]


The paucity of yo-yoing left me feeling distinctly underwhelmed. A blander, more fitting title would be just "Girl Cop" or "Intermittent Violence Girl: Not Much Yo-Yo".

71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance [71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls]


A lot of little stories about sad people all become the same story about how everything is totally screwed.

Thundercrack!


Crazy fucked up pornographic trash of epic proportions about a pair of girls who pick up a hitch-hiker then crash their car trying to wank him off. They're found by a pair of bisexual men and a Christian who decides that the best course of action is to seek shelter in a farmhouse that turns out to be owned by a crazy woman who keeps her husband pickled in a series of jars. The group then find they are trapped inside the house by the twin menaces of a very loud storm and a rogue pack of escaped circus animals and so engage in an undending variety of graphic sexual encounters to kill some time. Things come to a head when somebody gets jerked off by a gorilla, one of the girls finds true love by butt-fucking him with a strap-on and the other girl winds up having to spend the rest of her life getting raped by a mentally disabled man with balls bigger than his head.

Godzilla [3D]

 
An amazing blend of emotion, intelligence and fucking huge monsters trashing shit. I wish all multi-million dollar blockbusters were like this.

Grace

 
A stillborn child is the start of a most discomforting descent into screaming madness that all ends with a silly punchline.

Primal

 
An Australian, cookie-cutter, evil unleashed amongst stereotypes tale that makes you sit through a bunch of fucking awful Photoshopped FX just to get to a clever use of the word 'cunt'.
 

Exte: Hair Extensions [Ekusute]

 
Solidly rips the piss out of J-Horror's hair obsession whilst also tackling themes of severe child abuse along the way. Different.

Bad Neighbours

 
As I sat stony faced through this likeable excess of drugs and crude sexual imagery I realised I'm just a bit too old for this shit. This then turned out to be the moral of the film, which I'm pretty sure means it won. Damn you, Rogen.

I Spit On Your Grave 2

 
A fashion model is raped into unconciousness and wakes up in Bulgaria, which isn't a euphemism for her post traumatic state, simply a country where film production is dirt cheap and no-one cares if you piss out an unecessary sequel that's so tasteless it could offend a Nazi.
