Franco does a great Dean – it some scenes it’s almost like the man’s back on screen, alive! and the car crash becomes a dim memory. Saw this on the small screen but oh, did it hold me captive. Yours truly didn’t fall asleep. Didn’t go for any bathroom breaks. Didn’t flinch. TNT (Stateside tele network that aired it) should schedule this one at least once a month, if they know what’s right.

Hokey, predictable Science vs Religion followup to Davinci Code makes me think my time at seminary could’ve been a lot more productive if I spent less time praying and hung out at the library instead. The chase, grand and ambitious as it was – failed to deliver and lacked thrill. Insert sadface here. The Vatican Archives weren’t as impressive as one would think, though the movie really shows a section, and just a glimpse as that. Movies shot on location in Rome (or those that pretend to be) tend towards a certain old world beauty, and that’s the one true thing here. The Hannibal flick, and the Hepburn one come to mind. But Angels and Demons isn’t a travelogue. A whodunit, religio-tainted thriller that barely delivers, one would be well-advised to (maybe) read the book instead.

Neo-noir, ok I’ll bite. I like noir a lot, its neo cousin? Not so much. Still, the disc will spin in my player, I’ll settle in with a snack and a drink and – with no expectations on quality – go and press play. This itty STV wannabe-neo isn’t even worth the usual fifteen minute trial screening. You know what that is: If the flick doesn’t pick up or move you in any way in the first 15, it probably won’t for the rest until the credits roll.

So I tried it a second time, sure. Same thing. The Perfect Sleep has ambition in spaced, but there’s little if any meat on the bones. Ok visuals, but the story needs to be told. And properly. Both screenings ended up being snoozes, so it goes.

Bought a pack (2 chorizo in a vacu-seal) from the nearby Mex/Pol grocs, opened one, fried it up like it said on the packaging …hooo wah, that is some spicy stuff, homes! Sure, it looks uh… nevermind how it looks – chorizo are some good eatins. Best with super fresh baked bread, so fresh, hey I kept an eye on the oven they got right there, and extra sharp cheddar. Om nom nom nom. Highly recommended. Of course next time Im’a make the scrambled eggs too. :)

Bit of a letdown, this :(

Om nom nom nom!

“We’ve never fully recovered from the 2007 scandal involving Bear Grylls, host of Man vs. Wild, who was accused of staging some of his wilderness survival adventures. But the guest apperance of Will Ferrell might just be the Neosporin that we need.”

Oddly charismatic Tom Hardy plays an effective, king hell psychotic convict in a very disturbing theater-of-the-absurd biopic Bronson. The film, an arty (fucked-up art, that is) take on the con Bronson’s beginnings and history, starts out serious and becomes sickeningly violent very quickly. There’s very black humor at play here which becomes unwatchable at times – not to mention the mad, catchy (misplaced?) tunes that makes one wonder… Consider yourself warned.

Interesting premise dulled by awful acting and snail-slow story pace. Instead of wasting time on this, go re-rent Se7en.
