Limitless




Interesting opening scene. Good dialogue. http://limitless-movie.co.uk Has a sci-fi aspect to it. The landlord's wife is nice. His mind has been opened up. He talks alot of sense. Glad he got to bone her. I would too. The publisher is a milf. Catch his new film Silver Linings Playbook. Bradley does some good impressions, see youtube. You might like Johnny Neumonic starring Keanu Reeves. Good special effects. Other's have gained an interest in the drug and it's capabilities. This is set in New York. Trippy psychadelic effects. He gets lucky yet again in a nightclub. This film will appeal to guys. Red Lights starring De Niro is a good film. Abbie was great in Sucker Punch. Reminded me of Bruce Almighty. When it comes to drugs with the highs must come the lows. Looking at a trailer I thought De Niro was an FBI agent. But he's a Hedge Fund Manager.He is a handsome man that Mr. Cooper. Another film of his is Hit N Run. Good fight scene based on memory. Side effects his life keeps skipping forward. See The A-Team plus some other films advertised below.

I'm So Excited aka Los Amantes Pasajeros


icon



Cert 15 film by Pedro Almodovar. A camp comedy about an airline on it's way to Mexico City. It's in Spanish. Released in 2013. The music during the opening credits is cover of a Beethoven song. Cast: Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas. You might like All About My Mother and Talk To Her. You've probably seen Snakes On A Plane, Flight Of The Dead, Airplane, Come Dine With Me, Quarantine 2, Con Air etc. The film is subtitled. 5060002837306. Some other foriegn films I recommend are Juan Of The Dead, La Horde, Les Revenants. Also see Not Another Gay Movie. There is an accident in the opening scene. The baggage handler is busy tweeting. Worth checking out the trailer. I rented this for £3.50 from Blockbuster. The company is Peninsula Airlines. Due Date and Anger Management had funny plane scenes. Some bizarre characters. Alex and Benito are pilots, Joserra is in charge of cabin crew. Fajas is dark haired and stocky. There's Norma is complaining. Also a psychic in a red dress that's weird. Ulloa is slim with a tash. There is a nice dance sequence. I recommend you see this.

Hitchcock biographical film of Alfred Hitchcock


icon

The great filmaker. Stars Sir Anthony Hopkins as Alf, Dame Helen Mirren as his wife Alma. Toni Collete, Scarlett Johannson and Jessica Biel also ster. I did a little art piece symbolising 20th Century Heroes. I chose film. One image was of a shadow of Hitchcock holding a knife. There is a tv series called Bates Motel out now. It's set around the time where Alf wants to make a film based on a horror novel Psycho. The film itself was remade a few years ago. Toni plays Peggy a P.A. Scarlett is actress Janet Leigh. Janet was the mother of Jamie Lee Curtis that starred in the Halloween movies. The trailer looked good. Alf is determined, morbid with a sense of humour. See Sam Raimi's films. myworld.ebay.co.uk/mrkish09 I liked The Aviator a film about Howard Hughes. It'd be interesting to read his biography. A great cast. Paramount were reluctant to go ahead with this film. Alf was risking his reputation. Mr Stefano played by Karate Kid actor Ralph Macchio. See Chaplin starring Robert Downey Jr. Cert 12. 

Due Date Robert Downey Jnr Zach Galifianakis


A comedy cert 15. Interesting so far. Good acting. Nice dialogue. Michelle Monaghon, Juliette Lewis and Jamie Foxx also star. You might also like Anger Management, What About Bob?, Roadtrip, Rat Race, Cannonball Run, Seven Psychopaths, Paul, Dumb And Dumber, Dead Heads, Up In The Air. Peter Highman is a first time father, he is to be back in LA as his wife will giving birth sometime soon. He has a chance encounter with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay. I think RZA from Wu-Tang Clan plays a customs officer. I've enjoyed their other films like Hangover, Iron Man, It's Kind Of A Funny Story, Dinner For Schmucks. So I thought I'd give this a go. 2010 Warner Bros 5051892026710. Good scene with Peter and the kids of a drug dealer that Ethan knows. 'I'm not an accountant Peter, I'm not even Jewish'. Danny McBride stars as a Western Union rep. Ethan has a pet dog called Sonny. Directed by Todd Philips. Peter has pulled over on a busy road. There's a funny masturbation scene. Out now.

Seven Psychopaths cert 15 BFI and Film4



Stars Colin Farrel, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken. Opening scene two hitmen are having a morbid conversation. Lots of special features including a gag reel. Marty is a struggling writer intent on finishing his screenplay 'Seven Psychopaths' all he needs is some inspiration. Charlie is a gangster that has had his dog stolen by Marty's friends. He is going to try and get his pet back. There is a man with a rabbit which I saw from the trailer. Marty's girlfriend is pretty. If you like films with an oddball bunch of characters. Then check out Burn After Reading, I Heart Huckabees. The actress that was in Precious and Tower Heist stars in this. She played Shirese. Nice little chapters introducing each psychopath. Great body on this woman in one scene. The actress is Christine Marzano. A great cast. Contains violence, nudity and swearing. One story tells of an interracial couple that go around killing hitmen. Olga Kurylenko looks hot in a bikini. Nice soundtrack. Out to buy/rent now.

12 YEARS A SLAVE. cert 15 drama 2014


http://www.africanholocaust.net

I've just seen some great trailers for films I'll indeed be catching up on: Dallas Buyers Club, Tracks, Calvery. A film by Steve McQueen. Based on a true story. You might like Bamboozled, Amistad, The Butler. Won some awards. 1841 Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejifor) a free black man, that'd been kidnapped and sold to slavery. The plantation owner (Michael Fassbender) has purchased Soloman. There is a chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt). A steller cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o. Music by Hans Zimmer. I'm liking the theme song. Special Feature a are a doc looking at the creative team behind the film and also watch Han Zimmer as he composes the soundtrack. There was a mild sex scene. Shot from a sideways position. The book is for sale. Solomon a violinist is offered a job in Washington. There are flashback scenes. Transported to Georgia. Strong language and violence. Solomon's message is delivered to future generations. I wonder what he'd make of President Obama. 

Twelve Years A Slave by Solomon Northup. I'd seen the film and so decided on the book. This is a true story. Solomon's memoirs will leave a message to future generations. Obviously it goes into more detail than the film. I recommend you check out both. A young violinist is under false pretences taken to Washington DC to perform at a circus. But he had been kidnapped and sold into slavery down south. I'm selling this on Amazon/Ebay in a few months. Kept in mint condition. First published in 1853. EAN 9780007580422 paperback published by Harper Collins. Was £2.50 in Waterstones. Pollypunk:No Prejudice.

Stars Colin Firth as old Eric, Jeremy Irvine as young Eric. During the war Eric is captured by the Japanese. Tortured and forced to build the Thai-Burma railway. Opening scene had Lomax lying on the floor reciting something. Later in a cafe in 1980. What was fascinating about the trailer was how Eric wants revenge and wants to confront his captors. One of them being Takashi Nagase played by Hiroyuki Sanada. Nicole Kidman plays Mrs Lomax. A great cast. Directed by Jonathon Teplitzky. Lionsgate 2013. Also includes cast and crew interviews. Other autobiographical films I recommend are 12 Years A Slave, The Butler. There are flashback sequences to the war. He operated the radios in Singapore 1942. Eric was traumatised by his experiences.

The trailer for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is impressive. Viggo Mortensen plays a wealthy businessman named Chester that is holidaying with his young wife Colette (Kirsten Dunst). Their tour guide Rydal (Oscar Isaac) is not all he seems. They have been in many good films, which I'll link to. Rydal had recieved a letter from his mother asking him to attend his father's funeral. He is abit of a hustler. Some plot twists, elements of revenge, paranoia and a love triangle. Contains moderate violence and swearing. Some dialogue in greek, subtitled in english. One clever scene in the market stall that i'm trying to work out. Chester fought in WW2. A strange man has turned up at the hotel. He represents a client that invested money with Chester. They're on the run. Good look at the scenery and greek culture. Good acting. See the trailer.
Colette takes of her bra. You see a side-boob. No bonus features, would've been nice to see some extras. The characters are questioning who to trust. Weird little girl asking to wear Colette's sunglasses. I reckon there are positive reviews on Amazon. Lots of suspense. With the drama, you could call it a 'greek tragedy'. Some scenes shot in Istanbul, Turkey. The soundtrack is a mix of classical and folk music. I think you should see this. Out to rent/buy now.

A comedy drama based on a true story by Jordan Belfort. It's about money, sex, drugs, power, corruption. Set in the 80s. It opens with an advert for a financial company. The story follows Jordan Belfont. He narrates, sometimes talks to camera. This film did offend some feminists and christians. Attractive model wife Naomi. She gives him a blowjob in his car. Amazing tits. She has a great body as does the hooker (Natalie Bensel) Jordan was smoking drugs off. Katerina Cas as Chantelle. Flashback scene: Mark Hannan is his boss in the stock market. Jordan age 22, first day on Wall St. Innocent and well behaved. A great cast of actors. Lots of swearing, sex and drug use. Nice tits on display. Become a webcam model #thefappening Nudity in films
A vast array of characters, the nasdaq hooker, blue chip prostitute. Mad Max aka Jordan's dad is funny. More crazier than Malcolm Tucker. Jonah hill does well as Jordan's assistant Donny. You have the shouty receptionist. The actor playing Brad was the original cast member of The Walking Dead. I'm learning quite abit about the stock exchange. There are some Wall St affiliate programs to join. Showing some old footage. The behind the scenes and bloopers must be good. His first wife Teresa was lovely. Not very politically correct. I understand why it offended some folk. It's a funny film. Some good dialogue. It has won awards. There are plenty of good law abiding stock brokers. Most films glorify criminals. Glad to see all these naked female bodies. http://admiringthefemaleform.com A mixed soundtrack. A film that you should see.

Opening scene John (Arnie) is watching a ransom video possibly his wife is the one on it. Being tortured by some criminals. 8 months later the team of DEA agents are on a mission. There are drug cartels that they're up against. At this party there are some hot girls. A short scene with two girls kissing. One is topless, superb tits. Contains strong violence, sex references, swearing. Good action pieces and stunts. There was a load of cash. The squad are taking their cut. Very sneaky. Lizzy (Enos) is a hot red head, she was working on the inside. Monster (Worthington) is her husband. Enos was in Devil's Knot, World War Z. Two great films. Two of the cast played main Lost characters (Michael and Sawyer). The team are under investigation. Each character is introduced. The strip club wasn't very lively. They had become targets. One by one they are being taken out. Focusing on dialogue. The strippers were hot, as was the hostage lady in the safe house. Clever editing and camera work. Some accents are slipping. Expecting some twists. John's son was also taken. There is a delay with the special effects. A good cast of actors that a long career behind them. Feel free to check it out.
5017239142833 Cert 12 Weinstein Company/Walden Media 2014. The Giver cast Brenton Thwaites, Jeff Bridges, Alexander Skarssgard, Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift, Cameron Monaghan, Odeya Rush, Emma Tremblay, Meryl Streep. Based on the novel by Lois Lowry. Screenplay by Michael Mitnick and Robert B Weide. Directed by Philip Noyce.
There are a few good trailers for films which I may just watch. Released by the same company. I like the music that's playing on the menu screen. This is a SciFi drama. Jonas is a teenage boy coming to the end of his college days. At the graduation ceremony the teens are given their roles. It is set in the post apocalyptic future. Mankind has decided to start over. The Elders watch over everything. New rules are in place. Good cinematography. Lots of stock footage representing the history of mankind. In the new society everything is monochrome. It has scenes in colour too. If you like Equilibrium, Inception, Hunger Games, Ender's Game then you should see this. Beautiful soundtrack. Jonas gets training from The Giver. He must harvest all the memories and advise the people on difficult situations. I was not sure what to expect. The girl friend Fiona is pretty, looks like Mila Kunis. Brenton was in Snow White And The Huntsman. He is cute. It is emotional and sentimental. I recommend this film.
X-MEN Days Of Future Past. Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen
A scifi action drama based on the Marvel comic book series. It's a much darker tone. Contains swearing, violence, nudity and humour. Cert 15. 20th Century Fox 2014. Directed by Bryan Singer. Brings together the old cast and new. Ellen Page, Halle Berry also appear. You might've seen Kick-Ass, Super, Man Of Steel, Dark Knight trilogy. Starts of in the apocalyptic future where most mutants have been wiped out. Huge indestructable beings called Sentinels are hunting the X-men. The scene is in several locations. I like the special effects. Great action and funny moments. One girl opens up portals which helps her dodge the enemy. Another moves really fast which sets up a good scene. Charles and Eric are working together. Kitty Pryde helps Logan to travel back in time to 1973 Quantum Leap style. He must locate the young X-men, prevent Mystique from killing Trask (inventor of Sentinels). Good attention to detail. Page and JLaw look hot. Nice music. There's a post credit scene. I saw this at Odean for £5. Pre-order your dvd.

Special 26. Bollywood movie starring Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Manoj Bajpayee, Divya Dutta, Anuparm Kher, Jimmy Sheirgill, Rajesh Sharma, Mukesh Bhatt, Deepraj Rana. Crime drama PG 8902985210332 Viacom subtitled widescreen NSTC. Based on true, yet unreported cases of fake raids that took place in India in the 80s. It has been years since I watched an Indian film. CBI agents are interviewing a young lady in the opening scene. Very different to what I remember of Bollywood. I think the songs are still there. Directed by Neeraj Pandey. There are odd uses of English words in the script which seems daft. Set in Dehli. Camera and cinematography are given an old school look. Two of the actors I watched a few of their films. Worth seeing Mohra. CBI are there to tackle corruption. Intense music. I'd bought this from the library for my mum. It's available now. Abit of slapping. P.K Sharma is the boss I assume. AK looks good. If you like Hustle, Ocean's Eleven then this might be for you. Some humour and twists.


Big Hero 6. A Disney animation. Cast: Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, Daniel Henney, Damon Wayans JR, Jamie Chung, TJ Miller, Genesis Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, James Cromwell, Alan Tudyk.
Set in San Fransokyo in the future. Has a lot of Asian influence. Hiro is a teenage boy living with his big brother and hot aunt Cass. I assumed they are mixed race. Where Frozen was aimed at girls and the bond between sisters, this is for boys. About brotherhood. There is a lot of comedy. Impressive special effects. I like the robot convention and Baymax the nurse robot. The music is cool. The DVD that I borrowed from the library is skipping. It stops at the warehouse scene. It's from the creators of Wreck It Ralph. PG cert. 8717418450885 2014. There are other interesting characters in this film. Worth checking out. Award winning short Feast is the bonus feature. I always take a look at the reviews and discussion forums after having seen the film. You are guaranteed a good price on Amazon. If you like previous Disney works, Anime/Manga and Marvel films then I recommend this to you.
WILD starring Reece Witherspoon. You might also like The Way, Tracks, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. From the director of Dallas Buyers Club. Cert 15, 20th Century Fox 2014, 5039036072632. Based on a true story, book by Cheryl Strayed. A woman makes a decision to embark on a trek across the Pacific Crest Trail. It's a journey of discovery. A drama. There are some special features. I quite like the song playing during the DVD menu. Laura Dern also stars. There was a nice glimpse of nudity. Some flashback scenes are edited together with the journey Cheryl makes. It's a physically demanding role. Some interesting scenery. The writing is small. The sounds are blended together especially the speeches that Cheryl makes. Reese was in Cruel Intentions, Walk The Line and Devil's Knot which were excellent films. Wasn't sure when or how the film would end. The soundtrack is good. Reece is also a producer.
The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty
Starring Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Shirley McClane, Adam Scott, Kathryn Hahn, Sean Penn. Directed by Stiller. Cert PG, drama. 2013 20th Century Fox. Walter is sat at his desk going over his finances. He has a love interest Cheryl. It's one of those character based slow moving films. Sort of like About Schmidt, Everything Must Go, Up In The Air. He was having a strange conversation with a man from Eharmony. There are fantasy sequences. He is an ordinary man with a wild imagination. His loud actress sister turns up at his workplace to wish him a happy birthday. Tower Heist is another good film of Ben's. Ted Hendricks is the MD of a company that's just acquired Walter's firm (Life Magazine). The scenes between fantasy and reality are blurred/edited together. There is some writing on the wall "To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the Purpose of LIFE." There are people that might connect with Walter. The solitary man, the underdog. You get some strange characters. Sean is a photographer that lives the quiet life. walter is in search of him. The special effects are good. Stunning cinematography. I like the soundtrack. A good film

I am watching some indie horror flick called Breathing Room. The DVDs have been downloaded/copied. A group of people have been placed in some building. It is a game that they've been forced to play. You might have seen Saw, Exam, Truth Or Die, Chatroom, Cube, Devil, Elevator, The Chaos Experiment. I'm unsure about the acting or the characters. Some annoying people. I thought that one of the ladies was in Buffy. There are several rules written on notices around the room. It was boring me and I went to sleep. Have continued to watch it. It is probably one of the worst films that I have seen. So we have the blonde (Ailsa Marshall) that is kind of pretty. Tits are OK. I just look at the nipples poking through that see through tee. The big black guy is like Danny Glover, there is a Jack Shepherd type. An overreacting Susan Boyle. An old Sylvester McCoy. I can't take this film seriously. I have fast forwarding through this film. There is a twist. Just skip the dialogue. I do not recommend this. To the film makers: what was the point? If I was an investor of this film, I would ask for my money back.

I have also decided to watch The Visitor starring Richard Jenkins, Haaz Sleiman, Danai Guira, Him Abbass. Similar films: About Schmidt, The Bucket List, Robot And Frank. Universal Pictures 2008. Cert 15, 5060103791460. Bonus: commentary, deleted scenes, trailer and featurettes. The pace of the film goes to suit it's protagonist. Walter Vale is a professor at a uni in Connecticut. He is a widower. He is sent to a conference in New York where upon he meets a young couple, Tarek and Zainab. It tackles the issues of the US immigration system. A culture clash. A meeting of strangers. Middle class Walter and working class couple. He is polite, but the couple might not seem that way, more outspoken. It's the mannerisms. Tarek's mother Mouna makes a visit. She is a milf. This is a drama with a nice soundtrack. You might like Lost In Translation, Two Days In New York, Green Card. They are an attractive couple. She has a great body. A friendship blossoms. It's a great cast. Written and directed by Tom MacArthy. www.participate.net
